WAS IT A Loss.-Satrrday evening Bert
Bowersox brought out his horse and hitched
him to cart ''as he had oftimes done be-
fore, " but the animal was a stubborn brute
and refused to move step 'as he had dons
oftimes before" Mr. Bowersox then took
him by the bit and ehdeavored to lead him,
whereupon he reared up and came down to
the ground head first, with great force,
striking his head on rock near by, which
fractured his skull. The animal lay in
this condition for some time. but finally IL
was seen that the animal could not recover
and a bullet from Jim Taylors revolver
ended his suffering. B,rt's friends do not
know whether to offer sympathy or con-.
gratulations as the beast was vicious and
might have injured it's owner bad it net
come to tipely grave,

Hts WEALTH WENT UP In SMoKE.-A
short time ago Mrs. Winter, who lives with
her husband few miles north of Corvallis
in the Soap Creek district, left her home
to visit some, e,friends. 1t was understood that

which was highly priced by her, and nine
dollars in silver. Not wanting to carry
the valuables around in his pocket Mr.. W.

to put them as far as burglars were con.

Winters will, no doubt, find safer hiding

nine o'clock last evening"" says the Albany
Herald of Wednesday, "a pistol shot rang
out II ON room 80 in the Russ House aud a
woman giving the name of Miss Pearl
Roberts was found with bullet hole in her
right side. According to her statement
she was trying to load the revolver, and as
the cartridges were too large, she hadlplaced
the muzzle against her side to force them
in, when in some unaccountable manner the
weapon was discharged. The bullet en-
tered her right side just below the short
ribs and it is thought lodged in the abdomi-
nal cavity. The wound is very serious
one but will not necessarily prove fatal"
For the past five or six months she has
been inmate of house of i'll repute in

or five weeks ago she went in company with
young man from this city to San Fran

there came back to Albany where the
affair occurred. She is married woman,

says: One of the boldest bank rob-.
berries and murders ever perpetrated in
this section of the country occurred
Saturday morning at Columbus Grove,
n town of about 1000 people,,
10 miles north of here. Cashier r..
j. Maple had just opened the Exchange
bank, of which his father is proprietor,
and laid out about S3, 900 near the CASH
ier's window. About $50 a man ap-
peared in the door with a revolver
in each hand. He Immediately be-
gan shooting. Cashier Maple was.
struck twice, once in the arm and
once in the right side. AS he fell to
the floor, an old farmer, William Van
Debark, aged 60, entered the door,
having come to get his money for
some hogs he had just sold. The rob-
ber turned and shot him through and

wounds few hours later

there was a scattering when the Wild

shooting indiscriminately. One of

was struck down by a bullet from

The desperate is described as being

small black mustache. He wore a

pants with white stripe, and no vest.
He appeared to be about 80 or 80 years

Maple and Buck are not necessarily
fatal. Van Debark, who was killed,
was a prosperous former in Union
township. He leaves large family. A
big reward is offered for the capture of
the villain.
