gentleman 'from McMinnville came to
Corvallis and attempted to run opposition
to two firmly established and splendidly
equipped furniture establishments he
evidently left behind him all ideas of
honesty and square dealing, if he ever
possessed any, and the few trusting peo
ple of this city who left the old and pat
ronized the new firm were not given
ore lit on the books of the proprietor, for

has gone to collect accounts that are
marked unpaid on the books, the people
have produced receipts to show that they
paid cash for their purchases. Bat Mr.

a muddle, and Mr. Rogoway'a where
abouts are unknown. All of which
makes Deputy Wells "exceedinglyl
