A CRAZY MAN tundsy a crazy
man was causing considerable of dis
turbance around the farm of J w Propst,
four miles east of Albany. lie was about
as loony as a man could be, and spent the
day lying in a stubbie field. Three OF
four men succeeded in capturing him and
intended TO bring him to Albany when he
got away and defied them. Word wal
sent to Albany but as the Sheriff has nc
authority without a warrant nothing was
done.
NOTHING IN IT.-Mr Z G Beardsley
writes the DEMOCRAT that the story re
ported by the Corvallis Gazette. referred

falsehood, which is just as we anticipated
1t being completely inconsistent with MI
Beardsley's record In Albany. Tie mat
ter will undoubtedly be fully explained BY
the Gazette itself to the entire vindiclt ltior
of Mr. Beardsleyelse we predict something
will drop.
