Local Liveryman Found Guilty
. of Offering Bribe to Chief
of Police Daughtry.
SOBS ALOUD IN COURTROOM
WHEN INDICTMENT IS READ
Is Now Confined in County Jail
Awaiting Trial, the Date of
Which Is Not Yet Set.
When the indictment charging him
with an attempt to bribe an officer
was read to him at the courthouse in
this city yesterday afternoon, Al Pea
cock, proprietor of a livery stable in
this city, which has been the scene
of many raids by the police during
the past few months, broke down and
sobbed, his huge form quivering with
emotion.
The grand jury returned the indict
ment Saturday evening charging Pea
cock with an attempt to bribe Chief
of Police Daughtry and Peacock was
arrested and brought into court yes
terday afternoon by Sheriff Smith.
Owing to the fact that Judge P. R.
Kelly had formerly acted as an attor
ney for Peacock, the arraignment was
made before Judge William Gallo
way of McMinnville, who came to
Albany on the afternoon train for
the purpose.
Peacock plead not guilty to the in
dictment and his bonds were fixed at
$500, which he was unable to furnish
and he was taken to the county jail
by Sheriff Smith where he will be
compelled to remain until his case
comes up for trial. The date of the
trial has not yet been set but it is
probable that it will be heard in the
near future.
It is alleged that Peacock offered
Chief of Police Daughtry the sum of
$725 if he would cease to further ar
rest and prosecute him for violation
of the local option law. The bribe
is said to have been offered to. Daugh
try by Peacock at the latter's livery
barn on Lyon street on the 25th of
September and that the offer was
made in the presence of Policemen
McGung and Webb who were con
cealed in the barn and overheard the
conversation which included the al
leged offer of money to the police of
ficial. The livery barn conducted by Pea
cock has been the object of nearly a
dozen raids by the police of this city
during the past three or four months
and various amounts of liquor were
seized and smashed on each occasion
by the raiding officers.
Peacock broke down completely in
the court room yesterday afternoon
and sobbed aloud when the indict
ment charging him with attempting
to bribe the police chief was read to
him and loudly protested his inno
cence of the crime of which he was
accused.

"We commence today on the final

cost in the neighborhood of $15,000
per mile in addition to the cost of the
rails. There will be no curve on this
road in excess of 4 degrees and the

Alarm Sounded Last Evening
Caused by burning out of
a Chimney.
While the firemen were hitching the
big horses to the engine hist evening
in response to an alarm turned in from
box 72 at the corner of l'ourth and
Madison streets, one of the horses
bolted out through the door, and ran
away, disappearing in the darkness
before they were able to slop him.
This left the firemen in a predica
ment, there being but one horse left
to take the engine out and it was fin
ally necessary to secure a team from
an express wagon which was passing,
before the engine could be taken
out, which was fully fifteen min
utes from the time the alarm was
sounded at 5:40 o'clock. The hose
wagons were also delayed several min
utes in leaving the house last night.
The fire alarm was turned in by
the burning out of a plug at the resi
dence of R. Rogaway at Second and
Thurston streets which was extin
guished before any damage was done.
The runaway horse was captured near
Calapooia street on Third by Sanford
Archibald who returned the steed to
the stable in the rear of the engine
house on Lyon street.

The meeting at the club rooms was

en words, welcomed the visitors to

Mr. Gray spoke of the royal re

which existed among the officials of

for growth and development of this
section of the state.
"Compare our service with the
Southern Pacific as it was before we
came," was the way Mr. Gray sized
up the railway situation in Albany.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Mr. Gray received an ovation from
the business men and was followed
by President Young of the Oregon
Electric.
"Our business in Albany," said
President Young, "is very satisfac
tory. It is gaining every day and
each week shows a net gain in the
traffic handled over our line. We be
lieve we are safe in claiming that we
have more business now than the
