Grant returned from Corvallis yesterday afternoon with Sherman- Miller, accused by W. S. MoCaleb, of having robbed him of personal property valued at about $40. At a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Hardy Hoi man, yesterday, Miller confessed to a part of the crime of which he was accused, and his case will be heard more fully this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. McCaleb, who brings the com plaint and who accompanied Sheriff Grant and the prisoner from Corvallis gives his version of the story substan tially as follows : More than a year ago McCaleb, who is a timber cruiser and scaler, met Miller in Toledo. Miller was out of work and had no money and applied to McCaleb for assistance. MoCale b brought the young man to Falls City with him, paid his hotel bill and bid ding him wait in that city tor him, started up to Black Rock to secure employment for both of them. Miller's excuse for not accompanying him was a sprained ankle. Having secured work McCaleb phoned for the young man to come up and join him, but failing to get him, returned to Falls City, where he dis covered that Miller had appropriated a quantity of his clothing and other property and left the city. , After that he was unable to get any clue as to Miller's whereabouts, until last Wednesday, when he met him face to face on the streets of Corvallis. He brought up the subject of the theft which the young fellow did not deny, but begged him not to have him ar rested, promising to pay all it Mc Caleb would allow him to retain his freedom and go to work. This Was agreed to, but no sooner had McCaleb turned his back than Miller made an effort to escape and leave the city. Losing patience with such shifty methods his former benefactor had him arrested and placed In jail, and telephoned to Dallas for Sheriff Grant to come and take charge of the pris oner. Mr. Grant left Dallas on the motor yesterday morning, got his man in Corvallis and returned yesterday afternoon by way of Derry. Notice to Contractors.

LOUGHARYS' OFFICE BOY Well, Sir, school has been out two weeks and I haven't had any melons yet. I suppose its my own fault for they are certainly getting plenty enough. I tell you what it is, next to the strawberry, a melon is the best thing a man can eat in the morning, and coffee Is the best thing he can drink. A lot of folks have a kind of grouch against coffee drinking, but maybe they never get the right kind. Really good coffee hasn't a grouch in a gallon of it. Poor coffee contains to much of the bitter principal("tannin," I think they call it,) and that makes a fellow peevish, especially too much of it. Lots of good coffee is ruined in the making; boiled too long; made too weak, and dosed with poor milk. To be a good and wholesome drink, coffee should be roasted fresh, made strong, and brought just to the boiling point (or mada In a coffee percolator by pouring boiling water over the pow dered coffee) and served with rich cream such as the St. Charles or Pio neer brands. Ma says this Is so and that good coffee, properly made, never hurts anyone. Have you tried our M. J. B. coffee? WILLIE A LOOK AT OUR SUM MER HARNESS.
