that the burglars departed for the

Word of the burglary was received
this morning over the telephone at
7:Mi o'clock by Sheriff llodinc. As
far as can be learned no one heard the
explosion and it was well muffled
wiih hundreds of pounds of clothing.
The store was in a turmoil and con
siderable damage was done to the
slock.
This is the second similar robbery

happened Saturday week :igo at Leb

was blown open during the night and
some $150(1 confiscated.
The burglars were evidently expert
cracksmen as the indications point
out. The explosion apparenty was a
thorough success. A large hole was
luned in the safe, indicating where the
charge was placed.
The people of llalscy are much ex
cited over the incident. Many are

they have been warned by Sheriff Ho

Afternoon by Local Merch

That tile money necessary to de
fray the expenses of the Oregon-O.
A. C. football game here on Novem
ber 8, for the cily, is assured was in
dicated this morning by the report
made by Hilly Eagles, chairman of
the committee in charge. The report
shows that the sum of $218.50 was
pledged by the merchants of the city
during yesterday forenoon, while
many more are yet to be seen.
The solicitors were cordially
nice by the merchants, said Mr.
Eagles, and nearly everyone subscrib
ed a liberal sum. The subscription
list is to be raised to $300 at least
and this is estimated (o he about the
sum necessary to perfect all of the
plans.
This morning a number of contrac
tors and carpenters looked over the
field with a view of bidding on the
work', of erecting the bleachers and
changing the goal posts. The prob
abilities are that a contract will be
let soon. The contract between the
football managers and the local peo

Peculiar Incident Happened
Last Night in Front of
Hammel Hotel-Joy Water.
shortly after securing their booty in ,
a hand car. Marks found in the '
street and leading to the railroad
track point to this theory, ll is be
lieved that the crime was committed
early Ibis morning as the store was
full of smoke when opened and as
the result of the belief, efforts to put
authorities on the trail as soon as
possible arc under way.
At the instanrcof Mr. McCullotigh,
proprietor of the store, Sheriff Vto
dine telephoned to slate authorities
at Salem for bloodhounds but was in
formed that they had no dogs they
could send down at present. How
ever, the sheriff was recommended to
Sheriff Word of Multnomah, and the
probabilities are that a dog will lie
sent from there immediately. An ef
fort is being made at llalscy to lo
cate the hand car and in this event
it is believed that the fugitives can be
easilv trailed with the use of the
bloodhounds.
John Doe Wiagncr, of Corvallis, is
being sought by the police on a
charge of discharging an ordinai'y
shot gun within the city limits. His
companion, Kichard Kiger, of the
same place, was arrested last night
by Chief of Police Austin in front
of the llammel Hotel, shortly after
two gun reports rang out, on a charge
of carrying intoxicating liquor
through the streets, other than in the
package in which it was consigned
lo the city. As a result he iaid a fine
or rather an Albany man paid it for
him, of $25 and costs in the nolicc
court this morning.
The affair is a peculiar one. The
two men, who had evidently been
imbibing of joy water, and feeling in
high spirits, arrived in the city last
night about 7:30 o'clock in an auto
mobile, after a pheasant hunt. They
proceeded lo the llammel hotel. For
what reason, nobody seems to know,
but Wagner pulled out his old gun
and fired two shots in rapid succes
sion, while sealed in the automobile,
standing in front of the hotel. The
incident caused much excitement.
When the police had arrived, Wag
ner had disappeared and up until this
afternoon had not been arrested. Ki
ger was taken into custody and hailed
into court this morning when the fine
was paid. It has not been learned
whether the gun was fired intention
ally or accidentally but fortunately
no damage is reported.

tled in the Willamette valley, Ore
gon, near where Brownsville now

Miss Nellie Conner Gets Agree
able Surprise When Cere
mony Is Performed.
Due to' the coincidence that the
man who officiated at her wedding
ceremony held some money for her
as trustee, Nellie Connor of Albany,
received an agreeable surprise when
she wedded James Jones, also of this
city, last night.
After Jones secured a marriage li
cense yesterday he went to the office
of L. L. Swan, justice of the peace
here, and asked him to perform the
wedding ceremony last evening. He
gave Swan the license and he noticed
that the bride-to-be was Nellie Con
nor. He then recalled that as admin
istrator of the estate of Elizabeth
Newman, who was the bride's grand
mother, he held some money which
was to be delivered to her when she
became of legal age.
The young woman is only 17 years
old. but became of age legally when
she was married, so when he went to
perform the ceremony Judge Swan
took with him a check for the amount.
A. T. Edmunds, of Salem, was in
the city this morning.

NTERESTINB FARM NOTES
RIGHT OFF THE REEL
Tangent, Or., Oct. 22. (Special to
Democrat.) Farmers are busy plow
ing and sowing their fall crops, and
from present indler.tions there will
be a large acreage of fall grain sown.
The late rains have put the ground
in good condition for working and
have also started tile young grass to
grow, which is badly needed by the
stock.
The potato crop has been found to
be as good or better than expected,
and most of the farmers will have at
least a small surplus to dispose of.
Farmers have been aggravated al
most beyond endurance by the mul
titude of hunters which have swarm
ed all over the country. They seldom
ask permission to hunt on any man's
premises, and some shoot promiscu
ously, not only endangering the live
stock on the farms but making it un
safe for anyone working in the fields.
One fellow fired at a bird and the
shot hit the house near by. and one
shot passed through the screen door
and hit a woman inside on the head.
It so happened that no serious dam
age was done. The birds have been
slaughtered to such an extent that
they will he scarce by the 31st day of
October.
