Slater's welcome

The meeting at Hamilton's Hall last Sat
urday evening, for the welcome of Senator
Slater was indeed an enjoyable affair. Tho
house being we'll filed Judge Chenoweth
our city Mayor, arose and made an address of
welcome in his usual appropriate manner,
after which song was had by the choir.
The Senator was then introduced and ad-
dressed the audience for nearly a half hour
highly entertaining his hearers. He de
tailed in a short consise manner his efforts
while in Congress in behalf of the people of
Oregon, whom he was there to represent.
Through Mr.. Slater's efforts, no doubt,
much is due to the present appropriation
for Yaquina Bay having been raised, but
unfortunately the house refused to permit
it to remain as raised. He promised dur
ing his continuance in the Senate to remain
true to the interests of the people. We be-
lieve in doing all public servants justice for
q faithful discharge of public duties and
therefore must add that thus far we believe
Mr. Slater has conducted himself as rep
resentative of the State at large and has en-
deavored to represent them impartially and
has not permitted himself to be biased in
favor of or prejudical against particular
localities, but has seemingly endeavored to
treat all sections alike. The choir then
sang another choice selections, after which
Mrs. Arnold favored the audience with
solo that had to be heard to be appreciated.
All in all the gathering was successful
and an enjoyable affair.

Attempted Shooting

Gardner Or. was thrown into ferment of
excitement recently by the announcement
that man had been shot at the saloon of
Mr.. A. Kerblad. Two shots were fired one
going through the breeches of Mr.. Shager
and the other and only one that took effect
cutting through his clothing and cutting a
slight horizontal cash across his abdomen in
length about two inches The man doing
the shooting was named OFT, we understand,
and the afray caused by the person who
was shot, attempting to pacify and evade
trouble between his assailant and a third
person. On Monday the prisoner was taken
to scottsburg for the purpose of having a
preliminary examination and is at present
attempting to secure bail in the sum of $1,000

Last spring contractor and builder came
to our town and has ever since figured con-
spiciously here in his avocation. He has
bnilt bridges, dwellings and done quite
good business this summer, during which
time he has run in debt to many of our cit
izens Among other contracts he had that
of building the dwelling house of Mr.. John
Stewart, on which work has been in process
for several months. It would seem as
though Mr.. Stewart had been paying the
bills for material that was being used in the
construction of his house and that Philbrick
had asked Mr.. S. to pay certain amount
for some sash and doors that he had re-
ceived from Portland. This MIR. Stewart
refused to DO, as he thought the amount
too great, but offered to pay the amount
that the bill called for. This, together
with few other small matters, so enraged
the disciple of the chisel and plain that he
took an ak and smashed to atoms the afore-
said sash and shipped back to Portland the
doors. During the remainder of the after
noon he ragged with anger and in one in
stance drew a revolver on one of our citizens
for which he was pursuaded to visit one of
our offices of justice, but for some reason
was barred of the privilege to ''chip' a few
dollars to the city exchequer. That Phil.
is a brick is generally conceded and that
the people of Corvallis have had their fill
of this brick is also self evident. He has
left for parts unknown and many of our
citizens are now mourning ''their' loss, from
a financial view.

Fire Near the City.

Saturday afternoon of last week Mr..
Whealdon a tenant on the farm of Mr..
Charles O.. Barnes, few miles from
Albany, set fire to pile of straw, which
he supposed burned completely out. At
least when he and his wife went to church
Sunday morning no indications of fire were
seen. But on returning they found both
the barn and house nearly consumed, not a
thing being saved. After they had gone
the straw blazed up, and the fire running
along the dry stuhble set the barn in blaze,
which, being near the house, soon had that
as a companion in confagration. There
was no insurance on either, the loss being
complete 49,.
