Whitney, ex-deputy sheriff of
Baker'coanty, jointly indicted with
ex-Sheriff Huntington for the em

verdict of acquittal last Saturday
morning after being out 18 hours.
Huntington was tried previously,
but the jury failed to agree on the
amount of the embezzlement, and
the case will come up next October.
The Whitney verdict was not a sur
prise, as there . was no direct evi
dence tending to show that he ap
propriated any of it to his own use.

The little daughter of W. W
Calkins, formerly of this city, had
a narrow eecape from death in a
runaway which occurred in Eugene

was driving the family horse to the
stable, when the animal got beyond
her control ami ran away. She
was thiown from the buggy seat,
and fell, striking her head on the
hard ground, but . beyond a few
bruises she is unhurt. The childe
ren have been used to driving th-
horse to the stable, and this is the
first time the horse has acted in
any such manner, ine damages
to the buggy and horse were slight.

to remind one of the fact that 127
years before our nation was born.

RENMEjAD. NEWTON TIED.
The First Shoot by The Corvallia Gna
duty Was Fall of Interest and Excite
' ment
The clay pigeon contest given
by our local Gun Club on the
Fourth was well attended by vis
iting sportsmen from out of town
and being the first of its kind
held in our city attracted many
spec-ators to the scene of the
shooting. Among these were a
number of the fair sex who!
seemed to enjoy as much as the!
gentlemen the many difficult;
breaks scored by the marksmen. !
The strong wind that prevail
ed during the , day made high j
scores impossible and kept the
boys on their rnetal to prevent a
score of goose eggs being scored
against them. ; The swift whirl
ing targets would take all sorts
of , erratic flights and at times
acted more like animated cork
screws than sensible clay pigeons.
The contest for the high aver
age prizes was s extremely close
arid exciting and was not decided
till the last event of the day had
been shot through.
Rennie and Newton finally
tied for ist prizf with 67 breaks
out of 101 targets shot at; Kiger
was second with 63 out of 95,
only 2-iooths of 1 per cent less
than the leaders and Emery 3rd
with -66 out of 101, only two-twenty-fifths
of one per cent be
hind Kiger. Burnett and Elgin
were also close up, the former
getting 64 out of 101, and the
latter 63. Counting thetwo -extra
events shot through after the
regular program was finished,
each man vshot at 117 targets.
Of this number Emery was high
with 76, Newton 2nd with 75
and Rennie and Burnett a tie for
3rd with 73 each. These last
events did not count on the high
average prizes,, but are mention
ed to show how ; close was the
contest between these shooters.
The i winners of. the different
events were as follows:
No 1, 6 targets Elgin, Ren
nie McReynolds, 5; Ed Smith,
Hulbert, Avery, 4; Kerr, Bur

NOTES OF THE DAY. . .
jas. Gibson made a most gen
tlemanly, and efficient score-
keeper and handled this import
ant part of the meet in a manner
satisfactory to all the contestants.
The Philomath cracks, New
ton and .Frink, did not do much
talking, but kept;, sawing wood
all the time and kept our boys
guessing the entire time. New
ton .,, shot into money in every
event but one, and tied for high
est average, Frink also kejt
dipping into the purses till com
pelled by a bad headache to re
tire. Since the shoot Telt has been
looking as though he had been
up against Fitzsimmons, but it
was only his gun which had a
habit of jumping up and kicking
him on the nose. - '
;v It was different with Sheridan ;
he seemed to understand how to
avoid the . business e. - V
kicker. v
"Dirt TvTio-pr hasn't sanv i 1
'round town since the shoot. He
has, however, telephoned in an
swer to anxious inquiries, that he
is very busy trying to figure v?h !
targets are worth per 10c .
3-iooths of one per cent-'r:
$5.00, for that much non. . '
a bluerock added to his per cent
would have given him the $5.00
cash piize.
Grant only kept one eye on
the clay birds in several of the
events, which accounts for a
number of lost targets. His other
eye seemed to be attracted to a
neat turn-out just bshind the
spectators.
"Shiney" started out poorly,
but he kept improving his scores
till he broke nine straight. Then
his gun got out of fix, which was
fortunate for the other boys as
otherwise, he says, he would
soon have been getting more than
100 per cent.
It, required careful head work
on the-part of Ed to keep his
average down low enough to
carry home those shells his firm
hung up as a prize, and at the
same time to occasionally get in
on first and second money; but
he got there.
Billy Currin was also shooting,
although his name does not very
often appear among the winners.
The trouble with Billy was that
he got his shells mixed and kept
the dummies that he had fixed up
for Smith, otherwise he would
have succeeded in landing the
prize that Smith finally won,
McReynolds and his pump
were very much in evidence all
day and his name was most
always one of those called by the
scorer when it came to dividing
the purses in each event He
made the prettiest shot of the
day, when he loaded, cocked and
fired his gun alter the trap was
sprung, powdering tne target
some 433 yards, 5 feet, 72 inches
away. At least that was Jesse
Spencer's judgment as to the dis
tance. The firm of Nolan & Callahan
is pretty well represented on the
score card; ; Rennie tying for
highest average, besides winning
two first, three second and two
third moneys; Callahan also won
first, second and third respective
ly, in the only three events he
entered. . . .
Bicknell and Chester Avery
are both good shotsand -with
practice will make hard men to
beat. ; . '-'" v
Captain Emery had to divide
his attention between his official
duties and the bluerocks, yet the
result sfiows that he neglected
neither one.
There are others whose names
are not mentioned here, but they
all proved that they possess the
requisites of a true sportsman:
To win modestly and to lose
cheerfully.
