CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Chas. W. Whitney. Formerly of Corvallis,
Arrested on This Charge in '
Baker County.
The following dispatch from Baker
City to Saturday's Oregonian implicates
C. W. "Whitney, formerly of Corvallis, in
the defalcation of Sheriff Huntington, of
Baker county, which caused bo much
consternation among his constituents.
Mr. Whitney conducted a general mer
chandise store in Corvallis a number of
years ago, and his friends in this city
have confidence that he will be able to
clear himself of the charges against him :
Charles "W. Whitney, ex-deputy sher
iff, who served as tax collector under
Sheriff A, H. Huntington, was arrested
today on a complaint charging him with
the larceny of $2,000. He waiyed an ex
amination before Justice Messick, who
fived his bond at $2,500. Up to a late
hour thia evening Mr. Whitney had not
secured bondsmen, and was still in the
custody of Sheriff Brown.
This arrest szrew out of the defalcation
of Sheriff Huntington, who was taken in
charge eoon after his return from the
East, about the first of Januarys and re
leased on a $7,000 bond. The fact that
Huntington was placed under arrest has
just come to light as the county officials
m charge of the case have declined un
til to day to give Sny positive informa
tion in regard to the status of the affair.
The final reports of the experts, upon
which so much depends, has not been
completed, but will be finished and filed
next week some time, when the expert
accountants return from Wallowa county.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
whole matter so far as information from
official circles is concerned. -- .
Huntington insists that as lie never
handled any of the tax money he was not
cognizant of any shortage, eavo the
amount of $3500, which he was obliged
to espend to maintain the office." This
amount was charged in a memorandum
bok kept by Whitney, bat he understood
that the tax books were all square.
The experts found, so it is claimed,
that the footings of the tax ledger were
wrong on many pages, and all, or nearly
all, of the shortage was found in that way.
The entries were all right, but the foot
ings would often be several hundred
dollars short oa a single page.
The arrest of Whitney puts a new phase
on the case, and it now appears that
there will be some very interesting de
velopments within the next few days.
Will O. A. C. Lose Herbold?
The Butte Inter-Mountain
publishes a fine half-tone of Fred
Herbold and savs:
There is considerable talk go
ing the rounds about organizing
big football team for Butte the
coming season: it 13 to .be an
amateur organization and Jbred
Herbold will probably be secured
o coach it.
Herbold- has returned from
Oregon where -he successfullr
coached the team of. the Oregon
Agricultural College last year
His team lost but one game
out of seven and during the sea
son made a score of 159 as against
16 for its opponents. Coach Her
bold deserves soecial inentionas
he developed a winding team out
of raw material.
As a footballist, Fred Herbold
is a man of wide experience. He
was a member of the University
of Oregon team during the years
'93. '94i '95 and '96, and in
1897 he went to Purdue, Indiana,
where he played for two years
under the coaching of Poe and
Church of Princeton. In '99 he
was a inembsr of the crack Butte
team. In the fait of 1900 he was
engaged as coach of the Univer
sity of the Idaho eleven and such
satisfaction did he give thafc -he
was called back thenext season:
There are a number of old
stars of the . gridiron in Butte
who could be counted on if an
other strong . team is secured.
Fully 100 men would form the
nucleus from which to pick a
team. , Bill Slater could be count
ed on and it is even thought that
Jim Hooper would journey north
wards from Colorado and take a
hand in the sport.
Workmen Entertain.
Thursday evening the Opera
House was well filled with peo
ple who had gathered there in
response to an invitation from
the A. O. U. W. of this city to
attend the exercises that were to
cccur under the auspices ot the
order. Hon. , William Smith,
grand master workman of Ore
gon, was down from his Baker
City; ; home on a fraternal visit
and the exercises were in his
honor.
Judge Watters acted as chair
man and made a few .introduc
tory remarks. The Corvallis
Orchestra was on the program
for three numbers; Misses Dell
Davenport and - Dora Lindgren
each gave a recitation and were
heartily encored for their efforts.
Messrs. E; K. and M. W. Bart
mess sang a duet entitled, "In
Meadows Green," by Brackett.
They did splendidly and were so
enthusiastically received that
they -ere compelled to respond to f
an encore. MissCarra Wilson play
ed their accompaniment .on the
piano. - .
W. S, McFadden ; made the
address of welcome and Grand
Master Workman Smith made
the response. Mr. Smith, while
not an eloquent speaker is en
tertaining and thoroughly under
stands the work of the order." He
has a great fund of data relating
to the Workmen and Degree of
Honor, and his straightforward
statement of facts held the "atten
tion of the audience during his.
address. Grand Master Work
man Smith and members of the
local lodge have cause to feel
proud of their efforts on this oc
casion. '
MEETING WAS UMOfflCIAL.
Benton County Committee Discusses
Bridge Matter With Linn
County Judge. .
E. R. Bryson, Johnson Poiter and
Loq Hawlev, the committee ap
pointed by the Benton count? court
to meet a like committee from Linn
county, to discuss the Albany bridge
question, went to Albany, Saturday,
to perform this duty. They found
that the Linn county court nad no
official knowledge of the desires of
the residents of the northern part of-
Benton county regarding the bridge,
nor communication from the city
council of Albany stating what tbat
body was able or willing to do in the
matter.
The court had appointed no com
mittee, but the judge and one com
missioner met unofficially with the
Benton county committee, and two
hours were spent discussing the
question. Messrs. Bryson, Porter
and Hawley made it plain to the
Linn county representatives, that if
Benton county assumed any re
sponsibility connected with the Al
bany bridge, Linn must share the
expense of conducting the free ferry
at Corvallis, and that, an equitable
arrangement must be made.
The Linn county gentlemen ex
pressed a desire to meet the Benton
county court direct in a discussion
of the question, and they will sub
mit a proposition, shortly,- for con
sideration. - :
The Herald had this to say con
cerning the meeting: . , " .
The Benton county committee was
composed of E. R. Bryson, Johnson
Porter and Loa Haw ley An effort was
made by these gentlemen to get a propo
sal from the Linn county committee as
to how .the bridge should be taken, but
as the people mo3t interested are citizens
of Albany and of that seetiorv of Benton
county just across the river from AlDany,
it was decided that the proposition should
come from these people to the county
Councilmen Dawson, Stewart and Ral
ston constituted the committee:" iraaS tho ,
common council of Albany. They . said
the council would make a formal propo
sition at the proper time, for the city to
turn over the bridge free cf debt and en
cumbrance to the two counties jointly,
or to either count- separately," provided
the bridge should ba maintained as a
free bridge,
Judge Palmer and Commissioner
Spreager, who represented the Lin s
county court, said their court would
meet for a joint session with the Benton
county court at any lime the latter
would name. Ic is probable this meet
ing will be held about the first of Febru
ary, when the regular court sessions
at which time it is hoped the bridge
question will be definitely settled.
. The citizens committee which circu
lated the petitions for a free bridge was
represented by Mr. H. C. Watson.
O. A. CDefeats Pacific.
The basketball team of young
men from Pacific University met
the Agricultural College boys at
the armory Friday evening, and
suffered a defeat of 25 to 5. The
game was most exciting, and the
fastest ever played on the local
field. The score at the end of
the first half stood, O. A. C, 14;
P. U., 1. In the second half the
visitors secured their only basket
from the field during the game.
The local team played a con
sistent game, making six baskets
from the field and two from the
foul line jn the first half, "and
five baskets from the field and
one from the foul line in thei
second half. Pacific made, three
of her points from fouls. ,..
While the visitors made some
sensational passes, and handled
the ball well, they lacked the
perfection in team work displayed
by the home team,, and were less
speedy. So accurate was the
passing of the Agricultural boys,
that some of the baskets were
made in two or three passes after
the ball was put in play. :
The O. A. C. team lined ; up
as follows: .Center, Moores; for
wards, Stokes and C C. Gate;
guards, Rinehart and " Steiwer,
Tharp went in as guard in place
of Steiwer in the last half. v .
