A Burglary at Turner.

The depot at Turner was broken INTO
last Tuesday night and robbed. The
robbery was committed between
midnight and O'Clock. The burglars
broke a small hole in one of the win
dow panes, making 1t an easy matter
to raise the window and effect an en-
trance. The mail to be forwarded on
the morning overland had been tied
and locked up. The bag was cut, the
letters removed and at least one letter
opened. Two of the letters already in
the cases we're opened. They then
opened four express packages and a
valiSe, taking hat from the latter.
They carried the ticket case about
100 feet from the Office and burst it
open, tearing up IL tickets but taking
none. They also took watch that
was in one of the rined drawers. So
far as known, the hat and watch
were the only things taken.

THE STATE SEWER Work toda
began on the state house branch OF
the immense state sewer that is being
constructed between the asylum and
the Willamette river. The branch
will require an excavation about 2 feet
wide and as deep as necessary to unite
with the main sewer. The work of
excavating began at Center street
this morning in the alley between
Summer and Capitol streets. Owing
to the limited space in which to work,
the task will not progress quite as ra-
pidly,in proportion to the amount TO
be excavated,as air the main sewer. A
ten-inch pipe will be laid for the eX-
elusive use of the state capitol. The
large conduit has been covered to
Winter street, while it is constructed
as far as Summer street, with the ex-
ception of about 100 feet between Win
ter and Summer streets.
