YATES YAGER
Though Shot All to Pieces. the Pleas.
ant Wouldn't Die.

William Yates shot a China
pheasant all to pieces the other day
under circumstances very trying.
He went to a funeral, and on the
way to the country church yard, he
and the minister with whom he
rode, espied a pheasant in field
near at hand. To his companion,
William confded that he had six
shooter in his pocket, and proposed
that he should take shot at the
bird. The minister thought it
would hardly be the thing, and so
they went on to the cemetery.
By and by they returned. And
the China was still there. And
William still had his six shooter,
and a glowing ambition to shoot
the pheasant. This time the min
lister consented, and William a1ight-
ed from the buggy, 1eveled his
b1underbuss, and very carefully
pulled the trigger.
The smoke cleared away, but
the man behind the gun saw that
the vo11ey from his battery had
failed of its errand. So bold and
dehantly stood the bird, that Will
liam fancied that it was winking at
him. That angered the lawyer,
and he vowed the pheasant death.
He sought a rest and a tru-
er and steadier aim for his next
vol1ey, and found it on fence
near. Planting his howitzer across
a rail, and waving a martial COM
mand to the minister to hold his
breath. he flashed one of his gleam-
ing eyes that wasn't shut along the
barrel of the weapon, and let drive.
But the pheasant refused to be
fatally dead. 1t still stood erect,
though the feathers few At the
same moment from all the windows
ndfporches and doors of the farm
house near, came a chorus of horse
laughs. The old farmer himself
held his sides, well nigh split with
merriment, and his wife leaned
against the pOrcn posi-, ana nearly
died with good old country laugh
ter. And all the maids and the
hired men simply screamed and
waved their hands and yelled. AS
to William, he cast one furtive
glance in the direction of the farm
house, and quickly comprehended.
His smoking howitzer, he hur-
riedly thrust into his pocket, then
climbed unceremonious1y into the
buggy, and bade the preacher
drive on.
Of course the bird was dummy
"a block of wood, properly. fash
ioned and covered with a pheasant S
plumage.

proceedings against the locator.
The huge fraud involved in the
transaction would seem to justify
such move, but lawyers say that
the case is one that is difficult to
reach under the law. 1t is said
that a charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses might fail for
lack of written contract or written
statements in the affair. The ne
gotiations, it is supposed were car
ried on verbally, and if that is the
case conviction under the above
charge, would be difficult. In a
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses it is necessary to
have some token or written evi-
dencs against the accused. The
further proceedings in this noted
case will be watched with much in
terest by people all over Benton
county.
It develops that, besides warning
given members of the party by
Willis Vidito and others to the
effect that there was no vacant
timber land in the section for which
the Portlanders were bound, more
than one person in Corvallis at
tempted to convince various per-
sons in the party that their errard
would be fruitless. Jacob Wrage
told number of them that there
was no available timber in the Al.
sea country. He told them also
that they should be particular to
examine witness trees, taking note
of the surveyors marks on section
corners and being sure at the time
of filing to see that descriptions in
the fling tailed with section corner
markings. In each instance the
Portlanders told Wrage that Lo-
Gator Stone knew all about these
things, and that they were depend
ing on him.

Drum Fish DESTROY OYSTERS.


The Tuckerton Beacon tells this story
of how oysters are being destroyed:
But a few weeks ago every oysterman
in this vicinity felt that prospects were
never brighter for an immense oyster
yield during the coming fall and one year
hence; but now the same men feel that
prospects were never darker, and absolute
oblteration of the oyster industry seems
to be staring us all in the face.
Men who had risked their hard earned
savings, and possibly borrowed a little to
add thereto, have, within the past week.
seen evidences that the choice oyster seed
they had so carefully selected and planted
but few weeks ago, had fallen prey to
the ravages of huge drum fish which are
now swarming our bays, and that their
savings had gone to naught and that
bright hopes were blasted. 1t is worse
than conflagration, for men can insure
houses and their contents-not so with the
planting of oysters. It's dead loss and
dead certainty, too, when these greedy
monsters once make locality their feed
ing ground.
The fish came to Great Bay last year
and did considerable damage and appeared
again this year on the same spot, but COM
ing in numbers increased by thousands.
They were not long in seeking out the de-
licious young oysters planted in Tucker
ton bay and now they swarm the oyster
beds of both bays. So numerous are they
that it is no trouble to strike them with an
oar or pinch them with oyster tongs.
A public meeting was held recently,
when it was decided to fight these raven
Gus intruders with dynamite and George
Shepherd was sent to Philadelphia the
following day to secure the necessary cleo
trical appliances one hundred pounds of
dynamite were also secured and the work
of destroying the fish is to be undertaken
Speck Bros have had sturgeon nets set
in Green Bay and have caught about two
hundred drum.
These fish weigh from 80 to $50 pounds
each. There is an ivory like formation in
the upper and lower portions of the mouth,
making it possible to crush an oyster OF
clam with ease. The young oysters are
favorite food for these greedy monsters
They crush the oyster shell and swallow
the contents-not always ejecting the
shells, however, as within the fish are of
ten found quantities of both oyster and
clam shells.
1t is estimated that already $500, 600
worth of oysters have been destroyed, to-
gether with thousands of dollars worth of
clans.
Tuckerton spent something like $75, 900
for seed oysters from Oyster bay, Long
Island, and Bridgeport, Conn, this past
spring, bringing about $50, 900 bushels Of
seed. To have this seed destroyed means
ruin for more than one fairly prosperous
oysterman, for in many instances they
have embarked all their capital this spring
in oyster seed
