WANTED TO PLEAD GUILTY.

Eddyville, Lincoln county, INDUCED in Il e
luxury ofa jury trial last week, the first or e
in the history of the precinct. The village
blacksmith, VIM Wilson, and G. G. Nc
Bride, the store keeper, had a misundel :
standing three weeks ago, which resulted in
a black eye for the blacksmith, who, not
built in the mold that seems to fashion most
smithies, being slight and rather weak.
But "all things come to him who waits"
two weeks later the two met at McBride's
store, and while Mcbride was pouring out
some oil for Wilson, the latter poured balm
on his own bruised spirit, by rapping Nc
Bride over the head severly with an ak ham
die. Wilson was arrested, charged with an
assault with a dangerous weapon with intent
to kill, and the trial came off last Wcdnes-
day, before Justice Lucky. A. L. McFad-
den represented the state, and Fl. L. Hol-
gate appeared for defendant. After consul
tation and some argument, the information
was withdrawn and Wilson was tried for as
sault and battery. He claimed he thought
Mcbride was,about to assault him when he
struck the storekeeper. Mcbride, who was
pretty badly injured, said the assault was un-
provoked, and took him unawares. No one
else saw the fracas. Some testimony favor
able to Mcbride was introduced and the law
ers said their say. Then, about p. m.,
the justice, constable, defendant, lawyers
and spectators adjourned and camped out
side, leaving the jury in possession of the
court room. 1t was bad camping. Tho
wind was blowing and the air was cold. The
jury huEg fire, and the defendant told the
justice he was willing to plead to the charge
Of assault and battery, so the j. z. sent word
for the jury to come to some agreement, but
they wouldn't do it. The defendant was
convinced of his guilt, but the jury wasn't.
Eight o'clock, 0 O'Clock 10 o'clock, and the
jury still hung out. Defendant and his coun-
sci were cold and sleepy; they insisted on
pleading guilty. The justice again sent
word to the jury, but the jury wouldn't even
agree to disagree. Finally the spectators and
the lawyers and the officer became desperate
and at midnight backed up by their influence
the justice firmly told the jury that they
must bring in some verdict; that the Defend
ant was anxious to plead guilty, and at least
the jury should agree to disagree. Then
the jury brought in verdict of 'guilty" on
condition that the justice impose the lowest
fine. The justice said ''ten dollars" and
court adjourned.

Ray BE APPEALED.

It is possible that the case of Frank Hol-
comb, recently convicted of the crime Of
larceny, and sentenced to two years in the
penitentiary, will be appealed to the supreme
court. Throughout his trial. there seemed
to be determined effort to fasten the crime
solely upon Cornell, who was jointly indict-
ed with Holcomb. Their counsel saved a
number of exceptions, and have taken the
necessary steps toward appealing the case
should Holcomb's friends in Washington
county conclude to do so. Before adjourn
ment the court made the following orders:
In the circuit court of the state of Oregon,
for the county of Benton:

A SHOT FROM RosEBuRo.

The following statement Of the receipts of
several postoflices in Oregon is from the
government report for the past year: Rose
burg. S4,79i; Ashland, $3.50; Grants Pass,
50, 773; Medford, S2,S34; Marshfcid, $2,SlS;
McMinnville, Ss,45o; Corvallis, Si,24s.
Commenting on the above, the Roseburg
Review says; SIT will be noticed that Rose
burg is far in the lead OF all these pretcntious
towns, crowding closely upon such cities as
E,gene, Albany and Psndleton which are
a size larger"
While this report indicates that the re-
ceipts Of the Roseburg Office exceed, by
about $500, the receipts Of ths Corvallis Of
flee, it is doubtless a fact I'll the Corvallis
Office handles more mail than any in the
state, with the exception of Portland, Sa-
lem, Astoria, The Dalles, Pendleton and
ment experiment station, from which is
issued annually from $4,000 to 5000 bullc-
tins for general distribution throughout tho
United States, and these arc all handled by
the Corvallis Office in addition to the regular
mail matter. As they are sent out grstui-
tiously by tho government, the Office here
derives no revenue from them, and. further
m-re, the extra work put upon the Corvallis
office is evidently not taken into considera-
tion by the postal department in the allow
ance made for clerk hire. At Roseburg the
rcceipss of the office ara but S551 in excess
of the revenue Of the Corvallis office, yet
that office is allowed $500 for clerk hire, be-
stiles S242 for its free delivery service, while
an allowance OF only 5000 is made for clerk
hire here. In other words, the Roseburg
Office with receipts of $4,794, is allowed
$1,000 for salary of postmaster, $500 for
clerk hire and S242 for free delivery service,
or total of sa,342, while Corvallis, with re-
ceipts of 81, 243, receives 81, GOO for salary of
postmaster, and 5000 for clerk hire, making
total Of 81 500, or S542 less than is allowed
the Roseburg office, which really handles
lese mail matter than the Corvallis office
Roseburg, under the circumstances, should
have little to say about "these pretentious
towns'' so long as the expense of her Office
is proportionately greater than that of her
less pretentious sister towns.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.

The theatrical patrons Of Corvallis will be
given a great treat at the Opera House
Thanksgiving night when the Smith-Lieb
Company, the best company now playing
Oregon, will appear and present for the first
time here, the very laughable comedy "The
Arabian Nights" and the romantic curtain
raiser 1.-THE Violin Maker Of Cremons."
The Oregonian says: "Another crowded
house greeted the Smith-Lieb Company last
evening, when they, by special request, again
presented THE Arabian Nights 1t seems
that the public never tire of witnessing the
performance given by this excellent compa-
n.y., as one could see the same faces that
were there on the presentation OF that ro-
mantle drama on the opening night. We do
not hesitate to state that this is the best or
ganization that ever raised a curtain here.
Carl Smith has demonstrated that he is
leading man, second to none, and Beatrice
Lieb, well, nothing but praise can be be-
slowed upon this charming actress, for she
proved too, that she ranks among the lead
ing women on the American stage. The
engagement, which was for four nights only,
closes tonight, and no doubt IL will be long
time before we see such an excellent compa-
NJ again."
Notwithstanding the great expense incurr-
9 l in bringing this excellent organization
here, the management has arranged the
schedule of prices at only %, S5 and so cents.
A crowded house is assured, as the advance
sale already is quite large. The college boys
have reserved number of seats, and the
football teams will attend in a body, Those
desiring to spend pleasant Thanksgiving,
should reserve their seats at once. They can
be had at Conover's Stationery Store.

NEED ADDITIONAL GUNS.

/ The suggestion made by the GAzETTE last
week in regard to the organization of crack
drill company from among the O. A. G.
cldets is meeting with general favor. AL
ready the boys are quite enthusiastic over
| the matter and seem anxious that the neces-
sary arrangements be made as speedily as
possible.
There are now 230 young men receiving
military instruction at the college, and from
that mum Der Lieut.. Dentler says he can or
ganize company of seventy. two men, in
GLIDING officers, that could make creditable
showing with any company the Oregon Ma
tional Guards could trot out. He claims
that the military instruction the cadets are
receiving covers more ground than that re-
ceived by national guardsmen, which, in a
contest for points, would be advantageous to
the students.
Before the matter can be gone at systemat-
ically, however, it will be necessary for the
college to secure at least one hundred nddi-
tional rifles. AT present the institution has
but one hundred guns, so that only one half
of the boys can drill at a time. These guns,
too, besides being of two different sizes, are
many of them sadly in need of repair. The
LIEUT.: ant is partial to the Springfield cadet
rifle for use by the students, and last summer
n,adea requisition upon the board for one
hundred such arms and the matter was acted
upon favorably by the board of regents.
The federal government furnishes the guns
frec at the arsenal, but requires bond sufi-
Gent to indemnify it against loss, besides re-
quirng the college authorities to pay the
freight on the guns to their destination, and
to keep them insured after their arrival at
the institution. AS such an arrangement
would entail considerable expense, the board
concluded to first apply to Governor Lord
for the necessary guns, but it is not at all
likely that this arrangement can be effected.
The board will meet again during the first
week in january, at which time this matter
will receive further attention.
In addition to the rifles the board ought t O
ask the war department for at least two field
pieces. Then an artillery squad could be
drilled, and the military instruction of the
college would not be confined to infantry tao
tics alone. Besides, it would be an intensely
Interesting feature Of the military work, and
would have the effect of adding interest and
enthusiasm to that important branch of the
college course.

w. E. Yates, of Charlottesville, Linn
county, is visiting his brother, w. Yates,
of Corvallis. However, the first is narll-
ed Walter Emery and the latter William
Elliott. Mr.. Yates is prominent Linn
county farmer, and also an influential
republican, he having been potent fac
tor i'll the republican landslide that struck
his county at the last election. Mr..
Yates resides near the Templeton favn,
where the recent triple murder occurred.
He says the feeling i'll that neighborhood
against Lloyd Montgomery, the confessed
murderer, was very high, and had the
facts been brought out against the pris-
oner during the coroner's inquest, he
would probably have been Iynched.
Oscar Tom, of Alsea valley, came to
town last Friday with a wagon load of
produce which he found little trouble in
Idisposing of. His load included $50
pounds of choice honey which was left
for sale with P Nj. Zierolf, several hun
dred pounds of dressed mutton and a
number of bushels of prime potatoes.
The potatoes are of the Peerless variety
and are very large. Mr.. Tom, however,
lconsidered them below the average in
size, claiming that this had been dry
tseason and in consequence potatoes this
fall were unusually small. Still one of
them weighed AZ pounds, while box
containing eleven of these monster tubers
Tipped the beam at 4eH pounds. Truly
Alsea soil is great producer and more
successful tiller of it than Oscar Tom will
be hard to find.

A short Crop and Big Prices.

Captain j. A. Enslow, who makes
regular business tours through the
state, has just returned from the
extreme southern part of Florida,
where there are orange groves,
which were not hurt by the freeze.
He says the crop will not exceed
sixty thousand boxes, all of which
are far below the line of Tampa
and Barlow. Nearly the entire
crop. has been sold on the trees at
$3.50 to 1915 per box and several
have been resold at profit beyond
that basis. To "delivern these at
Jacksonville 81 more must be adj
ded for hauling, wrapping, boxing
and freight. Captain Enslow
knows of several lots sold at $3.50
to 1915 delivered at Jacksonville
He is of the opinion that most of
this crop will go north and west.
