ARMSTRONG DISAPPEARS. At Ha W Last Seen Monday Koroliii -Ui Home Near Wells All Trace -Of Him Lost. . - The citizens of Wells, this county, and the surrounding neighborhood are greatly wrought up over the mysterious disap pearance of George Armstrong, a resident of that s eetion for many years. The first knowledge of the affair to reach Corvallis was last Wednesday afternoon, when Sheriff Burnett was : notified over the phone by a son of the miss ing man, and requested to come to the family home and assist in unravelling the mystery. The sheriff left immediately . for the Armstrong residence, four miles northeast of Wells, and thor- and circulated the following peti tion which was signed by thse representatives ol every business house in this city, "the county officers and members of the facul- Lty of the Agricultural College: THE PETITION.

This is one of the smallest districts in our county yet $45.85 was raised. $a.77 was raised on the. vote of the best looking lady present. Mrs. P. A. Kline received - this honor. Mr. Kline showed his loyalty by pur chasing five baskets. We believe this is the best record so far made. considering the size of the district. Govemor Chamberlain issued a writ last Wednesday night ordering that a special election be held in this. -district June 1st, to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Con gressman Tongue. Chairman Har ris, of the republican congressional committee for the first Oreeron dis trict, will call a meeting of the con gressional committeemen to meet in Eugene, or Portland, March 12th, at which time details will be ar ranged for holding the congressional convention and other matters inci dent thereto. The democratic com mitteemen will also meet shortly . returning to Corvallis yesterdav morning at one o'clock. Mr. Armstrong was last seen Monday morning about io o'clock. He had attended a meeting of the board of school directors of his district, of which he was a member, and returned home aboat balf-past nine o'clock. He left the house and went down in the timber where the hired man was chopping wood. He did not return home for dinner, and, being a man of regular and exemplary habits, his absence caused alarm. His son went in search of him, but beyond learning from the hired man : that Mr. Armstrong had visited him and left for the house about tea o'clock complaining of feeling badly, no trace ,could be found of the missing man. A careful search of the neighbor hood was made without result. Yesterday, organized parties scoured the woods, - and the Wil lamette river, which flows near the Armstrong home, was dragged, but latest reports bring no evidence of the whereabouts of Mr. Armstrong or the cause of his disappearance. He has re sided near Wells for years and is a man of exemplary character. His home life has been pleasant, and he had no enemies. He is 59 years of age, and in the evening. It would be of benefit to the towns on the Yam hill division, and to the towns on the Corvallis division, as it would give every town " alon the said line communication with towns that it has not communication with now. We further petition that the morning and evening train from the West. Side make connections with the morning and evening trains from the Dal las branch at Whiteson, or wher ever the junction may be. The plan that we think is most feasi ble is as follows: First The Corvallis regular run as it does at present. The Dallas special run as at present, except that it add to its service Sheridan and Ballaston, the oth er two towns on the Yamhill branch. That the Sheridan spec ial run from Corvallis to Port land and return at night, thus making one round trip each day. Spangler-Raymond. and four sons, all grown.

Henry was elected assessor of Lin coln county last June, and is now employed in rounding up the tax payers of that county. He was at Waldport at the time of the pistol duel between Sheriff Rofs and White, the escaped convict, and was an eye-witness of that event, the true details of which have never been printed. : Sheriff Ross was standing on the wharf at Waldport, in company with a number of other persons, when White was seen approaching in a rowboat with a man named Green. Ross recognized the con vict. Green was an intimate ac quaintance of the sheriff, and the latter, fearing that Green would recognize him and inadvertently disclose his identity, stepped behind the corner, of the large creamery building adjoining the wharf. White was shrewd, however. While Green mounted the steps from the boat to the wharf, White took down the beach. Ross discovered the ruse and hurried around the end of the creamery to head the fugitive off, but the latter was there ahead of him. The -sheriff followed his man until he was within twenty feet of him, when he called to hiai. White whirled around instantly and fired at the sheriff. The sher iff thought White harmless, and, while he had his hand on bis re volver in his coat pocket, was taken by surprise. He immediately re turned the fire, however, which con tinued until both men had emptied their revolvers. Mr. Howell saysj that" both were shooting to kill, and the reason that neither was hit was because the smoke from their weap ons prevented them - from seeing clearly.. - Georgia Harper Co. Miss Georgia Harper will posi tively appear with her company in "East Lynne," on Tuesday, March 10th. Charged With Burglary. Tuesday's Gazette contained an item stating' that the residence of J. W. Jory, just north of town, had been burglarized recently and that a warrant had been is sued for the supposed culprit. The case ,was given a prelimin ary hearing in Justice Holgate's court, luesdaj'. Evidence point ed to Richard Fawcett as the guilty person; and he pleaded "not guilty" when confronted with the charge. He admitted having taken the articles from the Jory home, but stated that he had passed the house on several and seeing it open that the contents had Beinor in straigrhten- occasions, concluded tin nmnpr I ' e e ed circumstances, and needing tne stove and sideboard, he ap propriated them to his own use. Mr. Jory testified that, while he and his wife were absent, their home was securely fastened; that upon his return home some days go he found the articles missing, and afterward located them in Fawcett's residence. . .y In default of bonds in the sum of $250, Fawcett was committed. His case will be heard at the ses sion of the circuit, court, whch convenes the 23rd of this month. Owing to the fact that Fawcett has a wife and two little children dependent upon him for support, the officer were disposed tobe lenient, but a search of his resi dence revealed a shotgun and pair of blankets recently stolen from Joseph Bryant, and all thoughts of clemency were aban doned. Fawcett came to Corvallis a few weeks ago from Portland, and was employed by the Cor vallis laundry as driver. His wife appears like a very good woman and she has. the sympa thy of this community. With her little ones she left, Wednes day, for Tacoma, where she has friends. Petitioa for Improved. Service.

Before football turned the heads of all .who love outdoor sports, baseball had many ardent devo tees in the Willamette valley towns, and . many crack " nines were in. existence.;.

It is proposed to include in the league the cities of Salem, Albany, Eu gene, .Corvallis, McMinnville and possibly Woodburn or Hillsboro.
