HIS BUFFALO FIGHTS.
Killed It's Mate in Montana as it Was
Being Shipped East.

Lenox, Mass, July 20-William c. Whit
ney's herd of buffaloes was minus one
when it arrived in Lenox, as the result of
a fight between the two largest of the
herd as they were being loaded in Mon
tana for shipment east.
The $500 pound buffalo attacked and
killed it's mate, despite the efforts of the
keepers to separate the two animals. Con-
sequently the largest pair of buffaloes in
the country was broken.
The 1900 pound fellow is an ugly brute,
and it was with great difficulty that it
was unloaded from the cars. In madness
it butted it's head through the box car in
which it came, and later made a great
fuss over being transferred to the crate
in which it was carried to the preserves
on October mountain.

WRETCHED MARRIED LIFE
Ended by Judge Hazen to the Relief
of Both Parties.

Mrs. William H. Jenkins has secured
divorce and by the decree entered today
in the office of the district clerk her name
is once more Mrs. Sarah Rulison.
Mr.. Jenkins is an abstractor who is in
business with his father. He was of
the candidates for register of deeds but
secured only 81 votes. According to the
story of the wife Jenkins was in the habit
of drinking and pawning her valuables to
secure money. She told her story to
Judge Hazen. Mr.. Jenkins was present,
but offered no defense. She said:
After Will had pawned my watch the
third time he came home one evening and
I told him that if he had money to buy
whisky he ought to be able to get my
watch.
He told me to never mind-that my
watch was in good hands. I told him that
knew where my watch was; that it was
in the hands of pawn broker. 1 had
never before said anything to him about
knowing that he had pawned my watch.
When L said that he caught me by the
throat and pushed me back against the
wall Then he struck me on the face so
hard that abcess was formed on my
jaw and 1 am not well yet.
1--WE lived in Kansas City for time in
private boarding house. Will had sur
gical operation performed and L paid all
the expenses. One time while we were in
Kansas City he slapped me because told
someone that 1 was paying our expenses"
Mrs. Jenkins said that one time her
husband bought her two hair pins when
asked whether he had ever purchased
anything for her. She said that some-
times he would bring something home to
eat but often he would bring no eatables
home in five or six weeks.
1.-The he would tell me there was no
money to be had she continued, land
would lend him money. He would also
take the money the little boy made by
selling papers,"
Fred Rulison testified that he had seen
Jenkins intoxicated at home great many
times.
Judge Hazen granted the divorce. Jen-
kins was ordered to pay $25 alimony.

trouble over the possession of the chill
dren. White demanded that they be
returned to him and Wiggin refused to
give them up on the ground that they
were mistreated at home. White said
that one reason he did not want the
boys to stay with Wiggin was because
he is not a Catholic.
White accordingly brought habeas
corpus proceedings to secure possession
of the children. After the boys had
told their story and said they wanted
to stay with Wiggin, White took the
stand. He said that he was not able
to take good care of the children, but
he thought they might work and earn
some money for themselves.
Judge Hazen said, when he refused
to allow the writ: 81 have no right to
order Mr.. Wiggin to keep the boys.
They are at liberty to go home when
they choose, but we have all been boys,
and we know that a. boy will not stay
where he does not want to. If I sent
the boys home they would run away,
and as long as they are satisfied where
they are I do not think the court should
interfere"
The boys left the court house with
their chosen guardian.

BAPTIST CHURCH ACTS.
Will Vote in the Coming County Elec-
ton on the Prohibition Issue.

The church people propose to take a
hand in the coming election. They in
tend to indorse only those candidates
for office who will support prohibition.
The BaptiSts are the prime movers of
this scheme and it was due to their eff
forts that a successful meeting was
held at the Baptist church last night
They issued the following call to the
various churches of the city, which
states in brief the object of the meet
ing:
ITO secure the election to office of
Christian men who will enforce the
laws which they have sworn to execute;
to create public sentiment In FAVOR or
the strict enforcement of the prohibit
tory law; to encourage and assist an
eYery way possible the committee
~F4lown as the committee of seventeen,
and to bring the power of the church to
bear in the politics of our city and in
favor of morality and temperance"
The meeting was called nOnpartisan
and had only one main object in view.
It was the strict enforcement of the
prohibitory law. Those who took part
were nearly all Republicans.
j. B. Larimer was elected chairman
of the meeting and Percy Davis secre-
tary. Frank Foster, chairman of the
prosecuting committee of five, was in
PRODUCED and told of his Improbable
interview with Chief Steele in regard
to the prosecution of the jOintists. On
motion of Mr.. Stone a committee of
seven was appointed whose duty should
be to represent the churches of the city,
to back up the work of the committee
of seventeen and to look up the rec
ords of the candidates in the coming
county election and recommend the
ones which they consider the most ia
vorable to the enforcement of the pro-
hibitory law. The following delegates
were appointed as members of this
committee: Jesse Shaw, chairman; A.
G. Carruth, VIM. Irelan, H. R. Hilton,
c. S. Elliott, A. Wyman and J. B. Nc
Afee.
This committee will hold another
meeting soon and will in the meantime
solicit financial aid from the churches
throughout the city to help carry on the
work.

o. &c. CHAMPIONSHIP. !.
GAME TEsTEaDAY AFTERNOON
WITH MMiNNVILLE.
Score 81 to O.-ScrOggins Makes q
Long Run Full Length of the
Field-Thanksgiving.

The o. A. c. football team defeated
the team OF McMinnville college today on
the college campus with score of 81 to
10. On about the fifth down Srrog gins, an
O. A. G. halftack went through McMinn-
ville's line and run 30 yards for a touch
down.
When McMinnville kicked the ball
off the second time it went almost to the
o. A. G. goal line. Scroggins got it, and
then followed one of the finest football
spectacles ever witnessed ON this field.
Scroggins ran like deer and the inter-
ference was simply grand. Every o. A..
C. player stopped his man, one after the
other, and the plucky half ran full
length of the field and made touch
down. The air fairly vibrated with
cheering. After this the game was all
for the farmers and at the end of the
first half the score was % to 0. The
last half was only interesting to those
who understand team work and could
see how well our team had been drilled
by Coach Bloss.
Ten touchdowns were made AID seven
goals kicked.
This gives the O. A. G. the inter-col-
legiate championship for the state.
THANKSGIVING.
Thanksgiving day passed off in fine
style in Corvallis. The day was very
generally observed, business houses were
all closed, and about the dinner hour
hospitable fellows with pleasant homes
were everywhere in evidence leading
some forlorn homeless fellows to an en-
joyable dinner. The day was excep-
tionally ine, the sun shining and the
larks singing and everyone seemed hap
py. The Salvation Army people fed
crowd of 40 little ones, who would other
wise have been neglected, and it was
fine sight to see the little ones enjoy
themselves. The football game attract
ed large crowd and the town was gay
with orange bunting. The churches
were well attended, and the people gen
orally observed the day in a thankful
spirit. The 0. A. c. battalion ball at
the opera house was Il success, and so
Thanksgiving Day for 1897 has passed
back into the shadowy realms of the
Past.
