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

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.

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.
