ANOTHER. ESCAPE.
Albert Connett Hikes for the Hills.
But Is Captured To-Day.
AlbertJConnett, brother of the famous
Ira, took leg bail from Sheriff White
last night at 5 o'clock, in the following
interesting manner, as told by those
who saw the escape. Sheriff White
with King, in jail on a forty days sen
tencejf or selling borrowed goods, in front
of him, and Albert Connett behind,
started around the jail along the gravel
walk south of it towards the woodshed
after wood for the jail. As they came
out Lawyer J. C Christie came along.
Instead of going with the Sheriff young
Continued along the walk carelessly be
side Mr. Christie, who was not aware
that he was a prisoner, a fresh looking
young fellow, walking behind the sheriff,
until he reached the middle of the cross
walk, when like a deer he fled up the
street in the same direction the sheriff
was going, crossing the street in the
lots between the Presbyterian church
and the residence of C. E. Sox. Then
White began to look around for his
other prisoner, and Mr. Christie, who
not until then realized the situation,
told him of the boys course. Council
man J. M Ralston was on his way
home near the central school lot when
the boy made the run, not realizing un
til he was out of sight what was up.
The Sheriff of course could not leave
King, and, taking him back into the
jail locked him up, got the assistance
of Chief of Police McClain and another
man and started in pursuit, but the boy
had too much of a start to be captured
at once.
Just after 5 o'clock Connett was seen
running past the deoot and into the
country, going between the baggage
room and the main building. Nothing
was thought of it at the time.
The Sheriff and Sam Burkhart left
about 9 oclock after the escape towards
Lebanon in his tracks, and this morning
about 8 o'clock found him hiding near
the cheese factory the other side of
that city. He claimed to have reached
Lebanon about 8 o'clock last night.
When the Sheriff put the handcuffs on
him he gave them a shake and laughed.
This forenoon he was placed in a cell,
and will not be trusted any more than
his brother. Albert is only 16 years of
age, a mere boy, and certainly is not
making a very good start.
During the day young Connett had
made his boast in jail that he was going
to leave that night, and he did.
Young Connett is in jail jointly with
his brother Ira, on the charge of the
theft of a Winchester rifle, which they
claim to have evidence that they boucrht.
Ira made three escapes and Albert
seems to have the blood of the family.
Gov. Chamberlain in San
cisco.
Fran-
Governor Chamberlain made a good
impression at the big democratic rally
in San Francisco. The Examiner gives
a fine picture ot h;tn and his oration,
and savs of him:
"Georcre E. Chamberlain is not afer-
vid, impassioned orator. He is too
Sractical, too good n.itured, to be that,
e likes to put his audience in a good
humor and win its approval by sound
logic and hard facts, with a few good
stories thrown into tin discourse to re
lieve the tension. Last night he opened
modestly, and his success as a speaker
was, for the moment m doubt. But he
warmed to his work, und he was so par
ticularly happy in his shafts he hurled
at the opposition that his audience rec
ognized in him a master of his subject.
He has a free and easy delivery, and
appears without effort to produce the
effect he desires.
Knew the Dead Cashier.
J. A. Nimmo, of this city, was a per-
! sonal friend of Cashier Middaugh, the
man killed in the bank raid this week,
by a band of desperadoes. Middaugh
was giving the bandits all they wanted,
firing fast when one of them wheeled
and shot him dead. When a neighbor
of Mr. Nimmo, Middaugh was the edi
tor of the town paper, afterwards mov
ing and going into the banking business,
j The shooting has caused immense ex
; citement. Buffalo Bill is now heading
, a posse on the track of the bandits.
Complaint is made to the Democrat
' of careless shooting in the Monteith
; pasture south west of Albany. One
, house has been hit with shot and yes
' terday a bullet whizzed past the head
i of a woman out in her yard. Better
look out or there will be trouble.
Messrs. Snyder and McAllister, two
business men, of Punxsutawney, Penn.,
a natural cas lighted and heated city,
are in the city on a prospecting tour,
intending to locate somewhere on the
coast. Recently they have been locat

rare sport. They like Albany.
Rev. W. W. Davis and L. Viercck,
as anticipated and promised, arrived
home last night. They did some shav
ing and cutting on the Davis farm, and
incidentally hunted in the neighborhood,
having splendid luck, with finemarkman
ship bringing down a big grey ow),
which they did not eat, Dacon being
good enough on the side.
The Fort Stevens foot ball team want
the Albany team to spend a week there
after the Astoria game before playing
Multnomah. They have a team aver
aging 190 more or less, and want some
practice. The Albany boys have not
yet decided to accept the invitation.
When Geo. P. Cramer left Albany
over three years ago he had considera
ble furniture stored in the second story
of M. Ludwig's brick. This morning it
was ordered shinned to Lewiston. Idaho.
I where Mr. Cramer is now working.
Ine storage has been a dollar a month,
$40, and the freight will be $70, the
total probably being more than the
furniture and goods are worth.

of Albany, were united in marriage
last evening at the beautiful home of
the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. H.

Streets.
A pretty ring service was used by
Rev. W. P. White, who performed a
short and impressive ceremony. The
father gave the bride away. The wed
ding march was played by Miss Haddie
Parker.
Warm congratulations followed.
The bride looked lovuly in a handsome
costume of cream silk voil, a couple cf
roses in her hair and carrying a bouquet
of chrysanthemums. The groom is a
fine looking young man backed by an
excellent character.
The house decorations elicited much
favorable comment, a profusion of
chrysanthemums, with passion and
other vines, tastily arranged.
Misses Mary Stewart and Emma Sox
secured the bridal bouquet together and
divided it.
Following the ceremony a delicious
wedding repast was served in the din
ing room and a warm spirit of sociabil
ity nrevailed during the eveninc.
lhe wedding presents were many and i
rich, a sack of "pin money" from
the
father meetincr with favor amon? the
'other desirable things.
