HARR1SSURG FARMER LOSES
TWO HORSES IN BARN FIRE
Chas. McCart lost a couple of val
uable brood mares last Saturday even
ing by lire, and it was by the hardest
work that he saved a young colt
from meeting a like fate, says the
Bulletin.
The fire was discovered as it was
leaping out of one of the openings of
the barn on the Dr. Dale ranch
which Mr. McCart has been renting
this year. Chas rushed to the barn
and gained an entrance. He made an
effort to cut the halter ropes but in
his excitement dropped his knife and
tliere was no other way of releasing
them and make his own escape. The
barn contained about 40 tons of baled
hay, and this together with some har
ness and a part of his wagon vent
up in smoke.
How the lire originated is a mys
tery, it being at rather an unusual
time for tramps to have caused the
blaze.
Mrs. G. C. Moon of this city has
returned from Eugene where she

friends.
W. M. Seward, proprietor of the

SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD
GIRL MARRIES IN HASTE
Now Says It Was Only Intended
As Joke and Mother Asks
Court for Annulment.
San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 2. The
old proverb, "Marry in haste, repent
at leisure," was reversed in the case
of Eva De Boise, 17 years old, 92
Henry street.
Miss De Boise was married to
Mitchell Saxe, 22 years "old, last Sat
urday as the result of a joke. Yester
day her mother, Mrs. Amelia A. De"
Boise, at the instigation of the daugh
ter, riled in the superior court a pe
tition .for annulment.
Miss De Boise had been introduced
to Saxe the previous Tuesday. Her
friend Gertrude Sauter, 3314 Twenty
second street, was engaged to Robert
Saxe, a brother of Mitchell.
On Tuesday evening Robert Saxe
and Miss Sauter held a rehearsal of
their marriage at the girl's home.
Miss De Boise and Mitchell Saxe
were present. Somebody suggested
that it would be a good joke if they
all got married, and the double wed
ding was arranged.
On Saturday the four secured mar
riage licenses and were married that
evening at St. Mary's Cathedral. At
the license bureau Miss De Boise
gave her age as 18 years.
Following the marriage there was a
wedding supper at the home of a
friend, and then, at the suggestion of
Miss De Boise, they all went to the
home of her mother to tell her the
news.
At first Mrs. De Boise refused to
believe it and considered it a joke.
However, she kept her daughter at
home that night and made an investi
gation the next day. Satisfied that
her daughter was really married, she
told her to go to her husband. But
the girl refused and asked her mother
if she wouldn't take steps to have
the marriage revoked. Mrs. De Boise
asks for the annulment on the ground
that her daughter is a minor and did
not have her consent to the marriage.

had a narrow escape from death yes
terday when the roof of a cave in a

pletely. Young Barr was discolored and un
conscious when he was removed by
some men who heard McCIellan's
cries for help. McClellan was cover

At present young Barr is recovering
from his experience, and it is believ
ed that no serious results will follow.

DYNAMITERS FAIL
IN BAKER ROBBERY
Crack Safe of Cornucopia Mine
But Are Frightened Away by
Employees of Company.
LADY TELEPHONE OPERATOR
NOTIFIES THE RESIDENTS
Thousands of Dollars In Gold
Nuggets Are Savedby Plucky
Man and Woman.
Baker, Or., Aug. 2. Masked men
broke into the office of the Under
wood Placer Mines Company, at
Cornucopia, rolled down an embank
ment the sate containing gold nug
gets valued at thousands of dollars, at
1 o'clock this morning and dynamit
ed it.
They were interrupted by Foreman
Charles Camel, of Walla Walla, who
is in charge of the plant, and fired
several shots at him, one of which
slightly wounded him, but he called
help and frightened them away with
out their booty.
Mrs. R. S. Bishop, telephone opera
tor, who yesterday saved Halfway
from a serious fire by calling out the
farmers and townspeople, was appeal
ed to and she rang people out of bed
and urged them to start in search of
the safecrackers.
The enliro Pine Valley was noti
fied by breakfast time and parties
have passed the day in search. A. C.
Stephens, deputy sheriff of Baker
county, in that district, suspected two
men and telephoned to Baker for aid,
but as Sheriff Rand could not covet
the 90 miles to the mine in time to
help, told him to arrest the men
They have not been apprehended yet.
It was so dark that the number of
would-be robbers is not known, bul
it is believed there were four. The
office is unoccupied at night, so they
had no trouble in forcing the door
and removing the safe, which is
small one. They rolled it over an em
bankment in front of the building and
several feet away before attempting
to open it.
The highwaymen fled, one going
toward the town of Cornucopia and
the others toward Pine Valley.
Reuben Smith, one of the Walla
Walla owners of the mine, was in
Baker and started early this morning
for the scene. The description of the
men is so meager that it will make
identification difficult. That the men
selected a time when the safe was
well filled with nuggets and their
method of going about the work
would indicate that they were familiar
with conditions.
The mine managers have notified
owners at Walla Walla and arc at
tempting to get bloodhounds from
that place.
This is thought to be the only
means of tracing the men, as there is
such a chance for them to escape over
the mountains which surround the
mine and Pine Valley.

BODY OF SUICIDE FOUND IN
v WILLAMETTE AT CORVALLIS
The body of Joe Albers, with a
piece of drain tile at the end of a
rope about his neck, floated to the
surface of the Willamette river here
today at noon at a point about 100
feet above the Van Buren street ferry,
and was secured by a passing launch
occupied by Court Butcher. The
body was somewhat decomposed, and
evidently had lain in the water sev
eral days. It is nw at the Bovce
undertaking parlors, says the Corval
lis Gazctlc-Tiines.
Albers was past 60 years of age,
was a German Prussian carpenter
without family tics, addicted to strong
drink, and had been in an unusually
bad way in recent weeks, was dis
couraged, and it is believed that he
suicided about Monday night. He
was seen about his usual haunts here
on Monday, hut no one remembers
having seen him after Monday even
ing. Before that, part of the spring,
he had been working on his garden
patch at the George Avery place on
Oak creek. He came to the city on
Monday and then disappeared.
Albers has an uncle, Joe Heckcr,
at Albany, who will come here and
arrange for burial. A brother died at
Philomath about a year ago. Al
bers had been a well known char
acter about Corvallis for thirty years.
He was never married and was one
of the boys about town. He was al
ways peaceable, never offensive, was
a good workman, and was his own
worst enemy. It is sad to contem
plate that lie should have come to
this unfortunate end.

THE BLIND PIGS
RECEIVE WARNING
Three Anonymous Letters Are
Received by Men Alleged to
Be In Liquor Business.
LOCAL POLICE FORCE IS
WORKING HARD ON CASE
Much Speculation as to Writer
of Letters the Local Option
People Blame Liquor Men.
MONDAY
"This is the last warning. Clean
up, lock up, or stay off the streets.
Death. '
This is a copy of an anonymous
letter received late Saturday after
noon by three residents of Albany
who are said to be engaged in the il
licit sale of intoxicating liquor.
While the wording of the letter is
different than that received by Chief
of Police Ellis Daughtry, all three let
ters were written on the same kind
of paper and mailed at the same time
as the Daughtry letter, which leads
to the supposition that they were
written by the same person.
Whether these letters are the work
of some crank, or were written by
men who arc interested in the liquor
business and mailed for the purpose
of creating a sentiment against local
option, thus bringing about a return
to the high license system, is a mat
ter of speculation among citizens of
Albany.
The liquor men arc inclined to be
lieve that the letters were written by
some radical temperance reformer
while the friends of local option arc
firmly of the opinion that the destruc
tion of the two blind pigs and the let
ters to Chief Daughtry and the blind -piggers
themselves were inspired by
parties who are cither directly or in
directly interested in the liquor busi
ness. The police officers arc working on
the case and if they arc able to se
cure evidence it will go hard with
the men who are responsible for the
anonymous letters.

EXCURSIONISTS HAVE A
HARD TIME YESTERDAY
Newport Excursionists Did Not
Reach Resort City Until 3
o'Clock Yesterday.
Delayed by numerous "hot-boxes"
on the way, the Sunday excursion
train to Newport did not arrive at
Yaiiiiua until after 1 o'clock and it
was 3 o'clock when the boat bearing
the passengers finally arrived at the
wharf at .Newport, everybody tired
hungry, after being on the train and
boat 7'j hours from the time the
tram lelt this citv.
The train which consisted of sev
en coaches well filled with people,
probably tour hundred in all, lelt Al
bany several minutes late and things
moved along nicely until the grades
oi the mountains were reached when
the engine began to groan and wheeze
ind made the .summit with difficulty.
The train was delayed at Sum mi t
ind other points along the line while
the train crew placed new brasses and
packing on the passenger coaches and
allowed the boxes to cool off.
After making numerous stops for
one cause or another, the train man
aged to reach Vaquiua shortly after
1 o clock in the atternoon where to
cap the climax and to make the tired
passengers still more tardy and dis
gusted, it was discovered that the
boat had not yet arrived, having cross
ed the bay a short time before with
the excursionists from McMimiville,
whose special train of five coaches
bad preceded the Albany train, via
Corvallis.
At Yaquitia the entire crowd with
the exception of forty or fifty who
were able to leave Yaquina at once
on the launch "Pish" by paving an
additional fare of 25 cents to cross the
bay, were compelled to wait over halt
an hour until the arrival of the regu
lar steamer "Newport" which is run
in connection with the railroad.
After the boat arrived at Newport.
hundreds of hungry passengers made
a run for the hotel only to find that
tile iMcMimivillc crowd had cleaned
everything up and they would have
to look elsewhere for food. Some of
them managed to secure dinner but
there were many who were unable to.
the lateness of the train in arrivinur
at Yaiiiiua and the boat in landing the
passengers at Newport, cut the time
lor the excursionists to spend at the
beach to less than two hours.
The boat which conveys passengers
across the bay used to sound warn

quarter of six and another one at
six. However, it didn't whistle at all
yesterday and many people were left
behind and compelled to pay extra
money to cross the bay in the launch
