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 &
