SERVED ONE TERM.

Yates Convicted him.

Bruce Ore.

Lyons, the slayer of Sheriff With
ers, has served term in the state
penitentiary. While district attor-
ney, W. E. Yates prosecuted him in
Judge Fui1erton's court in Eugene
for embezzlement of public funds.
The case resulted in a conviction,
and a sentence of one year in the
penitentiary was pronounced by
Judge Fullerton March 18th 1897,
The embezzlement consisted of
misappropriation of public money
that Lyons had collected in his ca
pacity as deputy tax collector. The
amount of the defalcation was small.
A question in, the case was whether
or not Lyons was a legally consti.
tuted deputy. The act was COM
mitted in Lane county, during the
administration of Sheriff Johnson.
Lyons served out his term and sur
vived for the subsequent crimes
that have made his name despised.

CORVALLIS, OREGON, FEB. IL, 1908.
WTHERS.

The crime of Assassin Lyons is
one of the most despicable that can
be committed. A sheriff in the dis
charge of his duty is the personif-
cation of the peoples authority.
When he attempts am arrest, it is
in the name of all the people. The
arrest is itself the act of all the
people. Resistance to it, is resis-
tance to the people and insult to
their authority% VI Of a sher-
iff in the act of making an arrest IS
the most contemplate form OF VII
lainy. Lyons foul deed places him
beyond the pale of condonement'
mitigation or sympathy, Culpa-
bic with him, arehis guilty accom-
plices who made opportunity for
him to assassinate. Every whit OF
penalty the law provides, should be
measured out to each.
Withers was an extraordinary
man. His deputy fed with public
funds, and Withers paid back to the
county the last farthing. Five hun
dred reward was due him for the
capture of Ben Tracy's murderer,
but Withers declined to accept it.
saying he had only done his duty.
When named for Office, party lines
were ob1iterated, and he became
candidate, not of a part, but of all.
Men like this one are rare, and his
taking off should have its fitting
sequel.

DISCUSSED MANAGER GROVES.
Council did it Again-Because he
Hasn't obeyed That Body's Mandate.

Manager Groves was discussed at
meeting of the city council Mon
day night. One or two of the mem-
bers paid their respects to his opera
house in plain terms. Some time
ago the council ordered the mana
ger to provide certain precautionary
appliances for escape of audiences
in case of fire in the building. These
embraced the provision of an en-
trance on the north side of the
building, and the hanging of all
doors so they would swing outward
besides providing two means ofexit
from the gallery. One speaker as
serted that none of the require
ments had been observed, and he
insisted that the manager should be
made to respect municipal author
ity.
Somebody then raised the point
that the council had not put its
demand in the form of an ordinance
and that such a step would be nee
essary before the full majesty Of the
demand could be legally enforced.
The member rejoined that a reso1u-
ton of the council was ample under
the circumstances. After some
discussion, the matter gave way to
other business without definite
action being taken.
It is said that Manager Groves
long ago procured the doors requi-
red by the council, and that he now
has them at the Opera House, but
awaits the time when the city
fathers shall speak to him in trum-
pet tones.

COMPLAINTS OF PATRONS.
Say Mail Boxes are not Properly Lo-
cated-Monroe Route.

Editor TIMES:
Seeing your article in recent
issue in regard to complaint of SUBJ
scribers of your paper, will say it is
impossible not to make some mis-
takes but the carrier endeavors to
do his duty. The parties who are
kicking do not do as the law re-
quires, some of the boxes are pla-
ced in mud holes and they seem
ingly don't care how much trouble
it is to the carrier to deliver mail,
besides he takes up letters for de-
1ivering in post Office which he
does not have to do, but does simply
to accommodate them. So please
inform them, that there are two sides
to the question and they should take
some pains to fix their boxes so
they can be reached without miring
down.

TO PLAY EUGENE.
Happens Next Saturday Night in Ar
mory-Basket Ball.


The agricultural college and state
university will have a tusse1 Satur-
day night. The sport will be bas-
ket ball, and the game will be be-
tween the men of the two institu-
tions. The college players expect
it to be one of the hardest games of
the season. On the University
team are two crack players from
last years Willamette University
team, and two others who played
last season in Portland. Though
the team has not played a game as
yet this year, it is certain to pre-
sent formidable front.
Against this lis the fact that both
Cate and Tharp, two of OACs best
men are out of the game for the
season and that the college team
will have to enter the struggle
handicapped to that extent. How
ever. it is calculated that the strug-
gle will be close enough to be highly
exciting. Play will begin at eight
o'clock Saturday evening.
