It looks as though Corvalljs would' send a very small chorus to Eugene next May to assist in the musical festival that' will occur there at that time. From present indica tions it would not be surprising if the local chorus gave up the matter, as there seems to be no interest or enthusiasm in regard to the festival. Great efforts have been made, but despite what has been done it seems almost impossible to get singers to attend rehearsals. The leaders have become so discouraged over the outlook"" that we are informed they are on the verge of throwing the proposition up. This would be too bad, and it i3 suggested that they make another attempt, and let everybody work in harmony in order that matters musical in the valley may not lapse. J. M.

M. S. Woodcock, Jury So Finds in the City of Cor vallis vs. Ernest Stewart. '"Guilty, according to the law and the evidence," was the verdict rendered by the jury ia the case of the City of Cor vallis vs. Ernest Stewart. The defend ant was charged with, aiding and as sisting Chester Keady and Harry Lyons to escape from the city jail, January 13, and he was given trial before Police Judge Greffoz last Monday evening. Attorney. J. N. McFadden, assisted by his father, W. S. McFadden, appeared for the defense, while J. Frd Yates was assisted in the prosecution by E. R. Bryson. The case was called at V o'clock, but did not go to the jary till midnight. These gentlemen returned thehr verdict in five minutes. The city court room was crowded with men and boys, personal friends and ac quaintances of the defendant and his fel low culprits, who were anxious to learn what excuse would be oflered for the be havior of the boys concerned in recent depredations. As was to be expected, no excuse was, nor could be offered, but the prisoner and his companions, who were called to testify , seemed to realize whither they were drifting and mani fested a repentant disposition , The etory of the escape from jail and the part taken by Stewart in its accom plishment, as brought out in the trial gave evidence of the demoralizing effect of close study of yellow-backed litera ture. Nearly every boy passes through the "dime novel" period, but with some heroic- remedies are necessary to effect a cure. The plot to break jail was conceived about six o'clockon the evening of the 13th. It was . communicated to the various members of the, organization and details were arranged for its prompt execution. The prisoners were provided with a short steel bar to-be used in re moving the bricks from the jail wall. The night officers were to be shadowed, and their close 'proximity to the jail was to be announced by the sentry whist ling "There'll Be a Hot Time Time in the Old Town Tonight.", When the escape had been effected, all implicated were to rendezvous on College Hill, while two of their number secured a carriage to convev the party to Albany. The scheme was consummated in every de tail; .not a slip nor hitch anywhere. Stewart's part in the affair was to act aa whistler and he did not prove recreant to his trust; the escape being madetotha accompaniment of "A Hot Time in tho Old Town Tonight." Judge Greffoz set one o'clock Tuesday as the time for pronouncing sentence. Stewart's counsel petitioned the mem bers of the jury to recommend their client to the mercy of the court, which they did, and Judge Greffoz sentenced Stew art to 20 days in jail, with the alterna- U1 paying a nne 01 f 4U, Jtle chose the former and is now serving his time.
