they generally scare others into
sharing their misfortune.

each side of the throat and kept
her from cutting herself fatally.

mother the other warned the father.

along nicely.

Recovered His Medal.
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.

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.
