EI-Convtct LaBG Said He Bought Them for
Export. but He 10 Convicted.
John Lang, alias "Joker," was convicted yes-
terday of being a party to the theft OF $2o.OoO
worth of watches from the home Of William Nc
Conville, over his store at 372 Broad street. New.
ark. The robbery occurred on May 8. 1897. and
Lang, who was seen lettering around tho place
and helping another man away with a heavy
sntchel on that day, wns arrested and has boon
locked up ever since. He is an ex-convict. and
him every timo anything In his line OF work
occurred in Newark, SO the public hardly ex-
pected to hear OF his conviction this time.
McConviile's reason for having 30 many
watches in his possession at once was that he
purchased all the stem.winding watches no
could get cheaply in this country and sold them
abroad at a handsome profit.

The Other Side.

EDITOR GAzETTE-Now for the
sake of deeency, and to disabusc
the minds ef your innocent readers,
let us have the truth about that
Monroe incident referred to i'm
the GAZETTE of Nov. 18th. The
writer of that malicious, false and
scurrlous article ought to learn
what he advises others to observe,
to ''let we'll enough alone"
The facts, as can oe proven, are
as follows: On Friday evening,
Nov. IL, a weakly, sickly little boy,
aged 6 years; and his sister, aged
8 years, were on their way home
from school, when two boys about
the age of 10 or - followed them,
and to allay all suspicion pre-
tended to be very friendly with
the li;tle boy, saying they were
going home with him (but the
larger boys lived in Monroe, and
the little boy and girl one mile east
of Monroe.) Placing one arm
around the little boys neck, one
of the 1niscreants getting him as
near us possible to the edge OF the
bridge crossing the Long Tom,
gave the little boy Il push; and
came within about one foot OF
pashlng him off the bridge where
the water is about ten feet deep.
Nothing On earth could have kept
the little invalid from drowning
had he been pushed into the water.
(This can be preScn1. Failing to
accomplish theirnelarious purpose.
they followed the little boy aud
his sister beyond the bridge,
when one of the boys showed the
little invalid backward into IA
forked stump, saying as he did so,
"What did you call me a SD
for?" (which the little boy had not
done.) While one boy guarded
off the little girl, the other. beat
and battered the little boys face
in the most hostile and .inhuman
manner, striking him In his little
stomach, knocking the breath out
of him, and no doubt would have
killed him, had not his sister ran
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1898-12-02

back for lady to save his life,
when the boys secreted themselves
in the brush. The little girl and
the lady got the invalid, bleeding,
bruised, and fainting, washed his
bleeding face, while an older boy
drove the would-be murderer up
town, so the little girl could take
her deathly-pale and bleeding
brother home.
Upon reaching home. the father
of the two outraged children took
them back to the father of the boy
who did the dastardly deed and
told him the facts in the case,
Upon hearing them he replied.
Had your boy beat mine as my
boy did yours it would be all right,
| suppose" That was all the sat
isfaction given.
As this makes the third victim
for This same little miscreant, it Is
time that the authorities begin to
look alter him. Now. let it be
remembered that the proof for the
above statement is forthcoming
if needed.
The balance of the article of
the 18th Inst. is too vindlctive,
belittling, croaking and asinine to
merit a review, for such unfair,
treacherous, sneaking, double deal
ing, rehashing, calumnious SANDER
is only poisonous to good society.
If the writer knew the truth, he
should not have misrepresented
the facts. If he did not know the
truth he should have informed
himself and not been catspaw
for anyone. A reporter stands as
a juror before the people. and ia
order not to perjure himself he
ought to know both sides of the
case. He, should repudiate all
hearsay evidence and make due
allowance for prcjudiced testi-
mony. 1 cannot account for the
one who wrote the article referred
to, so grossly misrepresenting the
facts, unless he is dead in love
with the little miscrcant,s sister:
and as | seriously suspect him tc
be q member OF the church, and
a near kin to ala ''eX preacher" the
whole business is to be deplered
For 1t is to be admitted, (witl
perhaps few exceptions) by
Catholics, Protestants, Indideis and
Christians, alike. that even al
'sex-preacher" (even if he is i;
Germany has the same right thai
white men have, to protect his
family against such dastardly as
saults. All that the .:eX -preach;r:
humbl Y asks is that he and hi:
family may be permitted TO quietly
enjoy the inalienable rights ei life
and liberty vouchsafed by The
laws of God and man, and to all
men alike.

Would it not be we'll for the
citizens of Corvallis to call meet
ing of the tax payers of School
District No. 8 in the near future
at the court house for the purpose
of talking over the situation about
more room for our schools. The
present building is entirely made
quate to the demands of the dis
trict. Something must be done
soon to relieve the congested con
dition. This district cannot afford
to allow the children to grow up
in idleness and ignorance. Our
school is the pride of the city, but
the demand for more room is i'm
perative. 1t will be bad policy to
rent building suitable for the
requirements of the district. Let
us all get together and talk the
matter over and in the multitude OF
counsel devise some plan by which
the conditions can be improved
upon at a, early a date as posi-
BILE. 1t seems to the GAZETTE that
the most feasible plan will be to
purchase the Dillar block and then
get plans for suitable building to
be erected thereon in sections or
parts. as the demands of the dis,
trict requires, so that when com
pleted it will be symmetrical and
comfortable. Four rooms, two on
the ground floor and two above,
could be first erected and in the
years to come add to it as re-
qulred. This plan or something
similar if adopted could be carried
out without involving the district
in very large indebtedness, and
