The noise of smashing windowpanes in one store awakened a domestic in the Oakland hotel, across the street, and word wus soon sent to Officer Beckley, the town I having no night policeman. Upon Beckley's arrival, the burglars fled to the railroad track and took refuge behind an unused pig pen. Accom panied by Siephens, Beckley pursued them and ordered the burglars to surrender, but they opened fire with revolvers Instead. Beckley and Ste phens responded with their own wea pons and in the fusilade Beckley re- reived a flesh wound in the right shoulder, and exhausting his ammu nition he and Stephens withdrew, and the burglars, neither of whom are thought to have been wounded, then fled. ESTABLISH HAVE FINEST FRONTS ON OF ONE. COAST— WORK WILL BEGIN WITHIN A FEW l»AYS F. E. Dunn, the dry goods mer chant, has had plans drawn for ex tensive Improvements to his store. Tile' entire front of the building will be torn out, and a mode'n front will replace It. The plans < ill for huge plate glass windows and at the cor ners i he edges of the glass will be joined by steel damps instead of by wooden casings. The stairway, which Is now in the centre of the front, will lie moved to the north side of the building and In Its place there will be a large vestibule 9x15 feet in dimen sions with a tile floor and a marable base a foot high clear around it. The entire» Interior of the store will necessarily be remodeled by the taking out of the stairway and mov ing it to one side, and there will be about twice the window space as at present, despite the large vestibule in front. This, however, will be walled with plate glass. The plans, which were drawn by Architect W. T. rampbell, call for the handsomest and most up-to-date stortt front in the valley, and It is safe to say that nothing will excell it In the larger cities. The work will lie commenced with in a few days, or Just a« soon as the contractor can get at it. B0ÎLER CONTRACTORS PLACED UNDER ARREST Philadelphia, May 27 — miral A 8. Crownlnshleld, U. 8.

I SALEM SALOONS DECLINE « TO OPEN FRONTS Salem, Or., May 26 Mayor Rodg er« again han notified the saloons, through the chief of police, that lie Intends the strict regulation law shall lie enforced. So far but one saloon has complied with the ordinance re quiring open fronts and no partitions and much capital Is being made from It by the anti-saloon element in the camnalgn for.prohibition in Marlon county. The ipw has bN-n In force for sev- feral weeks and the saloons have taken practically no steps-to comply with It. The anti-saloon people are therefore urging that the saloons be voted out of the city and county en tirely, because they have shown no disposition to comply with the strict regulation ordinance demanded by the poop)» of Sileni and passed near ly two months ago by the council. Mayor Rodgers intimates that the law will lie enforced and that prose cutions will be started at once against those who have not made al terations according to the s|>eclflca- tlons of the new ordinance.
