HOLY ROLLERS. The Holy Rollers here, through their prophet Crefield have just received enlightenment in the way of several messages from Heaven. One is that all believers must go barefooted, bare headed and not braid or adorn their hair. Last week they proceeded to carry out this part of the program by appearing on the streets in the aforesaid condition. Frank Hurt who is living over in Linn county came to the Post Office Tuesday clad only in a pair of overalls and jumper, beverai ot the women have appeared on the streets with unkempt hair arid without wraps to protect them from the chilly air. Friday afternoon an exciting chase took place when Hurt again appeared at the Post Office. Dep uty marshal Overlander attempt ed to capture him, several others joined in the chase but Hurt out sprinted them all and reached his 1 O Mew Spring Suits tor Men, Are here for your inspection.

The people here would like to see Crefield, who is supposed to be in hiding not . far away and perhaps somewhere in the city. There is no doubt that this re newed activity of the Holy Roll ers is due to his influence. Tirana Seeley, an orphan, was arrested..here Thursday on a war rant issued by her sister, Edna V. Seeley, who lives in Oregon City. The girl is only about 16, and very pretty. The Rollers have had her under their influence for some time and would have caused her ruin. Her sister tried by every other means to get her away, when she had herself appointed guardian and took her by force. It is the intention to have the, girl placed in the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, that she may be kept away from the influence of the Holy Rollers. The last message the Holy Rollers have recieved is that all. shall go to the heathen in Africa as missionaries. There is a strong sentiment in favor of stopping the practices of the Holy Rollers, even if heroic measures have to be adopted, and something probably will be done, for they are a menace to young women, and their purpose seems to be principally to get girls un der their control and influence, ' Miss Edna Seeley is a nice looking young woman. She says her. parents are dead and there are three sisters, one, the oldest, aged about 2r years, being now with the Holy Rollers near Cor vallis. She sobbed bitterly when she told the story of her troubles, and when her young sister was committed to the care of the Boys and Girls Aid Society she became radiantly happy, as she felt that the child was now safe from the vicious practices of the Holy Rollers. She came up from Oregon City to Albany on Thursday and filed a petition with County Judge Palmer asking that her sister, be taken from the Holy Rollers and placed in the care of the Boys and Girls Aid Society of Portland. The judge at once issued a war rant for her arrest. She was found with several others in a house on the Linn county side of the Wil lamitte opposite Corvallis, where some of the Rollers reside. At the trial, several members of the sect denounced the movement in scathing terms and told of the unspeakable actions of the lead ers. When the girl herself was asked if she had anything to say, she was mute,' and Judge Palmer ordered her committed to the Boys and Girls Aid Society The girl was brought to town bareheaded as she had destroyed her hat according to divine reve lations commanding such a course. Her sister asked permission to comb the childs hair and this was given and the county judge also ordered Miss Edna to buy a hat for her sister. Deputy Sheriff Munkers re ports that in the house where he found the girl no furniture was to be seen, that the house was bare, and the occupants appeared to be dazed or on a verge of insanity, The last scene in the Holy Rol ler drama was enacted Saturday when Frank Hurt and his wife Mollie were sent to the Insane Asylum at Salem by the Linn County Court. Hurt's father was the principal witness. The testimony showed that the parties refused to work and that they destroyed all their good clothing and other property by fire, neglected their persons and generally showed insanity. The young man was formerly a salesman. He appeared in overalls saying he had burned his good clothing on orders from God, and had also destroyed a new bi cycle for the same reason. His wife had destroyed her clothing. She was formerly a cap tain in the Salvation Army, then took up with Apostle Crefield and married young Hurt. O O SAMPLES OF HaitSduffncrl & Marx Hi&dTailorcd S.
