Charged With Larceny

Wednesday evening a warrant for the
arrest of one Thos. Murphy came to- the
hands of the sheriff. An officer went out
and succeeded in bagging said Murphy.
Murphy was charged with the larceny of
a coat and vest from the dwelling of A.
Baxter, who resides in this county, just
across the Willamette from Albany. A
trial took place in Justice Holgate's
court Immediately after Murphy was ap
pretended, and John Burnett defended
said Murphy. The man told his story, to
this effect: He had been travelling in
company with another man from Albany
in the direction of this city. He Muir
phy), stopped to rest by the roadside,
while his partner went to a farm house
in search of work, he said. Presently
the fellow returned to Murphy and gave
him sack, remarking that there were
some old clothes in the sack that woman
had given him, and that if Murphy
never saw him again he could keep the
clothes. Murphy said the fellow then
departed and he fell heir to the coat and
vest. The above tale seems scarcely on
par with the average ''fsh story" The
clothes stolen were found in Murphy g
possession, and were identified as the
property of A. Baxter. Justice Holgate
bound the fellow over in the sum of
5000 to appear at the November term of
court, and at present Murphy is enjoying
the shade and solitude of the county Jail.

A GIANT OAK.
The Silent Witness of Mang Ages-Indiati
Legend Called to Mind.

| Inc SfIeHT N1tnSSS OF ManR AESS-EutIldI
Legend Called to Mind.
A man who has been. cutting oak
wood on the w. A. Wells farm on
Marys river, about two miles above
its mouth, has discovered some
thing that may shed little light
on natural conditions as they were
ages ago. He cut down one partic-
ularly old tree, as shown by the de-
cayed growth, the extreme size, as
well as by the large number of
rings of growth of this tree. There
were about four hundred of these
rings, showing that this tree has
been standing since about the year
1900. All the other oak trees in
the vicinity of this aged one
counted only about one hundred
growth rings. Another feature oo-
served by the woodman is that the
tree had sand and debris lodged in
it's bark to the height Of twenty
five feet from the ground, while the
surrounding trees had signs of
standing water around the trunks
by deposits Of sand to the height of
a few feet only.
There evidently was a flood in
the Willamette Valley during the
life of this antediluvian tree, but
before the growth of the surround
ing forest of oaks. This may be a
circumstance to help prove the In
dian legend that what is now the
world-famed Willamette Valley
was once lake and that the In
dians used to cross it in their ca
noes from the Coast mountains to
the Cascades. At any rate a gigan-
tic old oak tree has been cut that
produced large quantities of green
wood as well as cords of dead wood.
The stump stands as monument
of this trees former glory.
