BURNED HIS HOME
Fire Destroyed the Dwelling of David
Howard Tuesday.

The dwelling owned and occu-
pied by David Howard and family,
near the railroad crossing north of
town, was destroyed by fire late
Tuesday evening. Mr. Howard is
1aborer, and is engaged most of
his time in slowing away. saving
and splitting wood for Corvallis
homes and business houses. The
destruction of the building leaves
him and his family temporarily
without an abiding place. The
building was insured for $500 and
the contents at SIS in the McMinn-
vile company. AS soon as he re-.
ceives his insurance money, Mr.
Howard will rebuild. OF the fur
niture, about two-thirds was saved.
The fire originated in the roof.
An alarm was turned in, but the
burning house was far beyond the
water limits, and the department
was powerless to save it. All
that could be done twas to let the
building burn and save from it as
much of the contents as possible.
This course was followed with the
result above stated.

The final completion of Agri-

FINED FOR IT
Pheasant Shooting One Bird Cost Him
Seventeen Do1iars-Hunters in
Panic.

Panic.
Last Wednesday morning, it cost
a certain Corvallis boy ST. to kill a
China pheasant. His name at the
request of friends is withheld. It
is desired that his father may not
hear of the facts. The lad is II or
rs years of age.
It was in the vicinity of the rail
road crossing north of town that he
shot the bird. It seems that he
occasionally shot birds there and
elsewhere in the late past. To his
very great surprise, a stranger ap-
preached him in a very business
like way, Immediately after the
shooting. The stranger was de-
putty game warden, and he imnled-
lately took the law breaker into
custody. He had seen the shot,
had seen the bird fall, and the eu1-
prit was at his mercy.
An hour or two afterward the
bird, a half grown China. was ex-
hibited before the authorities as ev-
idence of guilt, and with nothing.
else to do, the youth pleaded guilty
to the complaint in Justice Hol-
gates court. He was fined SIS and
costs. The amount of the costs
was 81, making the total that his
bird cost, $I7.
The deputy game warden who
made the arrest is mysterious
man. He is a stranger in town.
Few know his identity and fewer
can give his name. He was brought
here by Game Warden Quimby
Tuesday. He is to keep as much
of Benton county as he can under
surveillance from now until the be-
ginning of the open season. He is
very active in performance of his
duty and is as ubiquitous as he is
active. He is in one end of the
county this morning and in the
other tonight.
He has created such panic
among guilty hunters in and about
town as has not been seen before.
On the face of each there is a look
of assumed and saneti6ed innocence
that plainly says, "Why I would Mt
kill a bird for anything The
look of heavenly virtue on each is
sanity enough to stampede a cir
Gus. It is even said that some Of
them say prayers now when they
go to bed nights. One young man
and a very guilty hunter is said to
have given his shot gun to his best
girl to keep until the troub1e blows
over. Shotguns are buried under
in family cellars, and every
feather in backyardsr has been gath
cred up and burned. As result
there is no China hunting, and
there is not likely to be until Oct
ober .Ist.
Game Warden Quimby appoints
a deputy in one county and sends
him to another where he is not
known, to do business. That he
says makes the man SILENTLY un-
known and makes him fearless in /
he discharge of duty, for with such
an officer, who IS stranger in the
vicinity anyway, prosecution IS not
prevented by fear that an enemy
S to be made.
It is said that many a young
China has died an unnatural death
,ecently, and that the shooting has
been practiced by all kinds of hunt
RS and almost everywhere.

CUT AN ELEPHANTS CORNS.
Ono Of Ringling's Animals VIII Be
Operated Upon In Topeka.

Reports from Kansas City say that
one of Ringing Brothers circus e1e-
plants will undergo a difficult opera
ton when the show reaches this city
Tuesday. If the operation is success
full the elephant will be rid of three
troublesome soft corns that have caused
her to walk with a distressing limp for
many a day.
Fanchon is the name of the big beast
with the corns and she is one Of the
best of the many trick elephants car
ried by the circus. She has been af-
flicted with corns for years and her
trainer, Pearl Souders, removes them
several times during season. The last
operation was performed in st. Louis in
May, but since that time the little
bumps Of tender flesh have again made
their appearance between Fanchon's
toes and Mr.. Souders has decided that
they must be removed when the show
reaches Topeka.
A representative of the Ringlings who
visited this city few days ago made
arrangements to secure a local veteri-
nary surgeon to assist Mr.. Souders
and the doctor carried by the Ringlfngs.
Fanchon will be taken into a tent erect
ed for the purpose, and after being
made to lie down will be securely
chained. Then her toes will be spread
apart and the surgeons, with their
knives whetted to razor edge, will
carve out the cOrns in the latest ap-
proved style. Antiseptic bandages will
be applied and every effort taken to
prevent blood poisoning.
