STRANGE SOMNAMBULISTIC FREAK

4 dreadful crime was reported
from Toledo, Ore, ten days or so
ago, about an outrage perpetrared
upon a little girl by two tramps.
The valley papers have been print
ing various comment speculat'ons
about it, and now the Fix City cor
respondent of the Corvallis Times
offer as authentic a version of the
affair which is no less wonderful
than the first story, and, if true, as
1t seems to be, establishes one of the
most remarkable instances of SON.
nambulism, or sleep-walking, ever
recorded. The account is as follows:
Miss Cora Mays, the 16-year old
daughter of Mrs. Sam Dogan, res
sides with her family on the south
side of the Yaguina river, six miles
east of Toledo. Between l and 2
O'Clock friiay night during her
sleep, and clad only in a night robe,
she arose from her bed and walked
ont on the back rorcb. There she
secured an old oilcloth coat and,
after wrapping it around her, picked
up piece OF rope and started tor
the river, 100 yards distant. At the
boat landing she entered a boat,
rowed herself up the river about 400
yards, and landed on the opposite
bank. After setting the boat adrift
she climbed a steep bank on the
railroad track, where with the rope
she tied her lower limbs together,
passed tie rope around her body
twice, over her shoulder, and then
tied her hands behind her body.
Then she hobbled up the railroad
track for distance of about three>
quarters of a mile, and suddenly
fell. She was awakened by the fall,
and, although paralyzed by cold and
fright, started to fetrace her steps.
Her cries of distress soon alarmed
the occupants Of a house near by,
who came to her rescue and found
her still tied, nervous, chilled and
in the saddest of very sad plights.
She was taken home at once, and
then her family learned for the first
time that she had been absent from
the house, and, of course, accepted
her condition as the evidence that
she had been the victim of an alb,
duction. This was the news that
first reached the community, and
enraged men secured the vicinity
for the supposed guilty parties.
Two tramps were arrested at Sum-
NIT on suspicion, and after staring
destruction in the face for several
hours, were finally released after
establishing an abb. A good sleep
restored the young girl to her norm
al condition, and thus what appear
ed at first to be shocking crime
wa9 only the queer escapade of
sleep walker.

attempt to repeal the law, or the more
essential features of it, is significant of
lts worth, because to this date no candi-
date has had word to say against the
statute, and not one will suggest it's re-
peal. Without intending to impugn the
motives of such of the press as advocate
repeal, on the contrary distinctly dis
claiming such assault, we aver that the
demand for repeal comes in the main
from and is inspired by the boss element
and those who have in the past been
known as political leeches, suckers of
the blood of candidates, the men whose
influence and votes must be bought, and
that, too, with no assurance given of
the delivery of the goods.
The same class rallied against the re-
form ballot law. 1t was sneered at,
stigmatized as the kangaroo SYSTEM"

laughed at as fad, snare, cheat, and
even an outrage; and one of the most
prominent journalistic influences in the
State declared that it would be found i'm
possible to enforce it, or carry it out, and
that it was an outrage upon the rights of
citizens to require them to use an official
ballot. To-day not per cent. vote
could be secured for repeal of the law.
Yet it is the companion and fit compli-
ment of the Purity of Elections Act.

f. G. WAITE,

The sudden death of Hon. E. G. Waite,
Secretary of State of California, was a
severe shock to the community. Mr..
Waite, during his long, useful and very
active life, filled very many important
public positions of great trust, and in all
of them he maintained his high reputa-
ton for integrity, executive ability, ad-
ministrative capacity, intellectual vigor
and untiring industry.
He was a man of naturally refined
tastes, which, under the cultivation of
exercise, made him an authority in many
artistic and economic directions. This
was shown in the last years of his life in
the tasteful and beautiful reforms he
worked out in the improvement of the
States property under his charge. and
which he accomplished within less means
than would have been possible to most
men.
He was a good citizen; a lucid and
forcible writer, many of whose articles
appeared in this journal in its earlier
years; man of somewhat aggressive
disposition, which gave momentum to
his force of character, and a faithful, capa-
bic public servant, whom the State had
recognized with many honors, and whose
death has made somber the closing days
OF political campaign in which he was
a factor.
