COUNCIL TURNS DOWN
BONDING PROPOSITION
Special Meeting of Council Last
Evening Failed to Consider
Offers of Agents.
Without explaining their action or
giving any reason the city council last
evening unanimously voted to indefi
nitely postpone the proposition of tak
ing iyi the $87710 of outstanding war
rants with 5 per cent bonds and the
two bond buyers were sent back to
their Ijrnis this morning sadder but
wiser men. , .
At the meeting of the council Wed
nesday evening, C. S. Kelly and B. C.
Haines, representing Portland firms,
offered to pay the costs of a special
election to put the proposition of
bonding the city before the people.
The matter was up at the last election
but was defeated largely because, in
stead of providing for but the one
Lease, the amendment tiiadc.it possible
for the council to issue bonds at will.
The principle of the matter of taking
up warrants drawing 6 per cent inter
eat and replacing them with S per cent
bunds and placing the city's credit on
a solid ana uestralilc basis, was not
disputed. There has been considera
ble talk since the proposition was de
feated, of taking it up again, and it will
no doubt be presented to the people
at the December election at the latest.
But Messrs. Kelly and Haines, who
are anxious to Duy Albany oonas
while the bond market is good, urged
the council to place the matter before
the people at once while the market is
sure. They also pointed out the sav
ing that the six months time would
save in the difference in interest. The
council would not vole Wednesday
evening, but made the subject spe
cial order for the following evening.
when the two bidders were to submit
sealed proposals as to what they
would do. When the council was
called to order last evening the buy
ers were present and ready with their
offers, but a motion was made and
carried that the matter be indefinitely
postponed. - In Spite of "the efforts -of
the two men, who had remained over
a day, to get a hearing, the members
were resolute in their intention not to
have anything todo with the matter
and the bids were not even opened.

POLICE ARREST ANOTHER
THIEF AND ONE MISSING
Sacks Stolen at Tangent Cause
Arrest of Salem Boy This
. Morning.
' A young man giving his name as P.
Crossan, of 1810 North Commercial
street, Salem, is under arrest and the
officers are looking all over this part
of the country for another man want-
d for stealing 200 grain sacks from
the farm of Z. G. Hayes, of Tangent,
ast night. Early this morning Mr.
layes came to the office of City Re
corder L. G. Lewclling and notified
the police that his sacks had been
stolen during the night. Chief Catlin
got busy at once and called on every
junk and second-hand store in town,
and finally located the goods by call-
ng up M. Senders & "Company, and
tot there in time, to arrest the man
with the goods. The sacks were be
ing counted at the time.
Young Crossan told the following
as his version of the story: A few
days ago he met a strange man in Sa-
em and sold him a horse, only a part
payment. being made on it.. Yesterday
Crossan says he drove up to a place
near the north end of the Steel bridge
and camped and there met the stran
ger again. When he asked for the
balance due on his horse the man
gave hint one dollar and said he had
some sacks to sell in the morning
(Friday) and would have the money
then. This morning the stranger was
painting his wagon and told the boy
that if he would use his wagon and
one of his horses they would take the
sacks to town and sell them. So they
crossed the river and drove up to the
Senders warehouse. WTiile the sacks
were being counted the older man said
he would go to a store for some gro
ceries and return soon. Catlin made
the arrest of Crossan while he was
gone.
The officers are in doubt about this
story. It is thought that this is an
other "mysterious older stranger"
case that is being worked so often of
late, and that the two are working to-
gethcr."Tbe stranger evidently stayed
out of sight, waiting for the boy to
get the money and then planned to
meet him some place on the road, tak
ing no chances with himself. He is
described as being about 40, rather
heavy set and wearing a gray shirt
and no coat. Sheriff Bodine and Chief
Catlin scoured all the roads in autos
this morning, but found no trace of
him. His horse and wagon were taken
possession of and brought to town.
