1 HE CORVALLiS cAibtTt Tuesdays and Fridays. A Good Word for the Chief of Police. Happily net a single accident occurred during the enthe three days celebration in our city. This can be accounted for only on the ground ef the extraordinary vigil ance of the chief of police and his deputies. These gentl-men are to be complimented upon the excellent work done. Nothing but the very closest attention to business could have avoided some kind of an accident with such a crowd on hand as Corvallis had last Monday. . In looking up the record it ap pears that nearly 1400 persons were injured in the. United Stales as part of the celebration, of In dependence Day. These persons came to harm from fireworks of different kinds, and it is said that the death list will reach two hundred. If a marine or railway disaster had occured or a battle fought in volving such great loss of life the account would have been chron icled far and wide. But as it is, there is complete public a-atby, only a passing notice is made and complete oblivion will soon cov er the record. K77. Small boys as a rule do not fcnow how to discharge fireworks and need to be taught. Older persons allow themselves to be carried away with false patrio tism, wholly disregarding the rights of others. There is ample 100m for legislation on the sub ject First the sale of certain ex plosives must be stopped as in a tfew cities. Then it is evident that police authority must step in and regulate the senseless and noisy nuisances of the street on the great American day. The tnte department is overworked at this time. The suffering of many perosns cry for attention and plead for popular protection in the future. Mrs. Emma K. Groves has ap pealed the Osburn case to the Supreme Court. This is the case that has taken so many terms in the Circuit Court for Benton County during the past five years. "The question involved is whether Mr. John Osburn can hold his home property located in Corval--lis as a homestead. The matter has been pleaded and argued from nearly every standpoint in the lower Courts both in Courts cf law and in equity and Mr. Os burn has always won so far, and it remains to be seen whether the higher C0u.1t will sustain the rul ings below. When Mr. Osburn made an as signment of his property for the benefit of his creditors, he claim ed his home as exempt under the law, and some of his creditors, among them Mr. Groves, have attempted to subject this property to the payment of the debts. Judge McFadden and E. E. "Wilson are attorneys for Mrs. Groves and Yates & Yates for .Mr. Osburn. Saturday's Horse Races. The races on Kiger's track Sat urday afternoon, although suc- -cessful, were in some respects a disappointment to many who were there. There was a bir -crowd, good horses and good music. There were horses from Portland, Eastern Oregon and all parts cf the Willamette Valley. In the trot, Bessie Jones, own d in Portland and entered by Geo. Brown, won in two straight heats, prize $100, Kiger's Sadie v G. taking second place. In the pace, Lafferty's Rush Eleanor won in the first and third hea's -over George D. George D. is said by horsemen to be a faster horse but became uncontrollable -and lost. The quarter-mile dash was won by Big Dutch, a well-known State Fair horse, owned by Wil Jis Brothers cf Sherman county. JLimber Jim, a foreign horse, en tered in the latter, ran away when his rider undertook to jog him, and never stopped until he had encircled the mile track. In consequence, he did not ap pear in the race. Look t the price! $1.25 per gallon for ice cream. Parties supplied. Small & Son.
