Take The Gazette for all the
local news. '
Last week, Chief of Police
Lane, accompanied by his wife,
went to Portland to have a look
at things about the Fair. Rob
ert Johnson went down on the
same train. When they arrived
at the metropolis our friend Rob
ert made a break down town, but
he did not proceed far before he
saw some very curious jumping-
iacks, and according to Chief
Lane stopped to inspect them.
The Chief and his wife were
nearly bothered to death, on arri
val at the depot -by hotel and
rooming house runners., So anx
ious were these depot pests that
the Chief and his wife covered
three blocks of the city before
they felt themselves free from
runners. Now, all of this did
not escape the watchful eye ol
Robert.
While the latter still gazed at
the jumping-jacks the chief and
his wife passed him and Robert
fell in a short distance behind
them. Whilst thus plodding
along . alone Satan operated on
Bob and he concluded to operate
on the standard of law and order
in Corvallis. Now, be it known
that the chief bore carpet sacks in
either - hand until he was both
weary and heavily laden, also out
of temper as the reuslt ol run
ning the gauntlet with so many
pesky drummers.
At this stage he heard a voice
from behind sav, "Room, sirf"
He paid no attention, but walked
on in wratnmi inaepenaence,
The voice continued, but no re
sult. Finally the runner touch
ed the chief on the arm and re
peated his query, "Room, sir?"
The chief wheeled with blazing
eyes and said things. In an in
stant he saw that his fellowtowns-
man was the runner and that, the
joke was on him.
Mrs. Lane had looked back
and recognized Bob, but it was
too good to spoil and she did not
give him away. Had such a
thing happened the chief in this
city the chances are well what?
