Daring the spring of 1898, Bruce Burnett, of this city, en tered in the 880-yard evenfi in the regular open handicap races in Portland, held by the Malt- nomahs. Brace won the race and was given a gold medal. He had only had the trophy a few months when it was stolen from him while in his home in Corvallis. This happened nearly three years ago. The medal was made by L. Hendrichsen, a Portland jeweler, and bore his name as manufac turer.' A short time ago Mr. Hendrichsen received a letter from Bert Moore, of Sutter City, Calif., inquiring if he knew the owner. The jeweler turned the letter over to Frank E. Watkins, who had been captain of the Multnomah track team during the races of the spring of 1898. Mr. Watkins chanced to know that the medal had been won by Bruce Burnett of this city, and placed Brace in communication with Moore. The result was that the medal arrived in Corvallis Wednesday. . Accompanying the medal was a letter from the sender, who stated that a girl gave it to him, and that, ac cording to said girl's account, a boy had given it to her; stating that he was from Corvallis and had won it himself. A Bribery Case. Very few people are born with an idea that it is a nice thing to have a tooth pulled. For some time Homer Gibson, 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Gib son, of this city, has been ' both ered with his teeth. In vain his parents tried to get him to ' go to a dentist and have them fixed. Homer finally contracted a weak ness for a little bicycle, and his longing for a wheel grew so great that bis father took advantage of it and told the boy . that ' if he would have his teeth fixed up he should .have a bicycle when the dentist was through. Homer ac cepted the terms and the result was that Mr. Gibson secured a fine little "Imperial" for Hemer, Wednesday, of T. W. Dilley. This is the eighth wheel that Mr. Dilley bas sold already this year and he is expecting a large trade during the spring and summer. He has a room full ot bicycles at all times, both new and second hand, as well as those he is "fix ing." "Dilley, the Fixer," is especially interested in the last wheel that has passed through his hands, owing to the bargain between father and son. It is barely possible that Homer may loosen some of the -filling in his teeth before he learns to ride. Our spring stock of men' boys' and childrens' clothing, shoes and furnishing goods have arrived. - jnolan & Callahan.

Woodcock, - Administrator, Corvallis, Oregon. Two Deaths. The death of Miss Christie Min or occurred at 3 a. m. Wednes day, at the home of her parents of Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Minor, of this city. She came to this city with her parents about three years ago, from Buena Vista, Polk county. Something like two years ago she had a severe attack of measles and since that time she has not been well. It is thought that as a result of the measles she went into quick consumption which caused her death. She has a twin sister, Christol, attending the Agricul tural College, another sister, Miss Zelia, has been teaching school near Salem of late and she ar rived home on the noon train Wednesday. A brother, Alva, is in the employ of M. S. Wood cock, at the dairy. Christie Minor was born June 11, 1881, being almost 20 years of aee. She was a member of the United Evangelical church and was ever interested in Christianity and its teachings and in her last hours gave evidence of the fact that the Savior was with her "through the valley of the shadow of death." During all her sufferings she was patient and good, and , never at any time complained. She had many friends who will regret that God in His wisdom has taken her from their midst. The funeral occurred at the family residence ' yesterday after noon at 2 o'clock, and the ser vices were conducted by Rev. Iv. M. Boozer. The remains were laid to rest in Crystal Lake cemetery. The death of Royal Hall took place at the residence of M. Hubler, in this city at 3:20 a. m. Wednesday morning. At the time he was attacked by pneumo nia he was employed in a logging camp up the river. The men at the camp brought him to Cor vallis as quickly as possible in order that he might have medi cal attendance. In spite of every effort to combat the attack he steadily grew worse. His parents reside near Dusty and the re mains were interred in the Alpine cemetery yesterday after noon at 2 o'clock. He was a young man of excellent character and was 26 years of age. Yaquina City Fire. About half-past three o'clock Tuesday morning ScotVs Hall, in Yaquina City, was discov ered to be on fire. The fire spread despite all efforts to stop it and destroyed the greater part of the business portion of the place. The town was without any appliance for fighting fire and the flames spread rapidly from building to building, leav ing naught but ruins, In its wake. It is estimated that lully 30, coo worth of property was de stroyed. T. W. Gorman is sup posed to be the heaviest loser. He carried about a $4,000 stock of general merchandise and it was only covered by an insur ance of $2,500. The C. & E. Railroad Company had ia nar row escape of it and many of the cars were somewhat scorehed be fore they conld be run down the track to a place of safety. Many of the buildings will be rebuilt at once. Just how the fire originated is not known. One story is that there was a dance in the hall the evening before and the fire was the result of a defective hue. An other report is that some boys . . . , 1 , 1 were smomng in me cmnuing in the evening and when they left carelessly threw their cigarette stubs into some robbish in a cornel of the hall.
