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.

F. E. Dunn, the dry goods mer
chant, has had plans drawn for ex

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.

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
