| The managers OF the Hancock county
fair association are very busy these days
| getting things into shape for the coming
county fair, which will be held at Wyman
park, Ellsworth, on Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, Sept. /, 2 and 8.
Once year for the past twelve years a
little bard of pubIic-spirited gentlemen
have put in time, fort and money to give
| Ellsworth and the rest of Hancock
county fair that would prove
pleasurable and profitable.
These efforts have sometimes been
cheerfnlly responded to and sometimes
they have not met the reception they de-
serve But in spite OF discouragements,
| the fair association has kept right on
| 'sawing wood", ever doing its best, in
the firm faith that in time the public
would fully appre ciate the work that was
being done.
For the twelfth consecutive season, the
association comes up smiling, and asks
for the hearty corporation Of the citizens
OF Hancock county in making the COM
ing fair success.
And everything seems to point to q
successful fair this season. 1t seems to be
in the air, and preparations are going
merrily on to that end.
The association Is offering 5000 in
purses and premiums. Some attractive
races are offered for each day, as may he
seen from the following:
FIRST DAY, TUESDAY SEPT. /.

Entries close Friday, Aug. 2s.
The exhibitions of live stock, poultry,
agricultural products and fancy work
promise 10 surpass those OF all previous
fairs.
There will be vaudeville show each
afternoon in front of the grand stand,
and the athletic events, baseball and
boys sports cannot fail to attract the
crowds.
There will be dancing in Hancock hall
on the last two evenings of the fair.

1t is earnestly to be hoped that every
body in Ellsworth who can will enter
heartily into cooperation with the man

| remem bered.

Has a Grievance.

Mr.. E. A. Jackson has a grievance
which he is willing to submit to arbitra-
ton. The law seems to be on his side,
as set forth in his letter to the GAZETTE
under date of Jan. 7th, but public senti-
ment in his community seems to be
Faverse:
EDITOR GAZETTE: There appears to
be erroneous ideas held by several parties
in this vicinity in regard to personal
rights in connection with the road law.
A few years ago I set out some shade
trees in the street fronting my house.
They were destroyed. I appealed to the
county court for protection or advice.
They referred to an act of the Oregon
legislature to encourage the setting out
and ~cultivating shade trees along the
public highways, granting farmers the
use of eight feet of the road during per
iod of four years. I returned home and
set out few more trees. They were
likewise destroyed and run over with
wagons, ETC., parties doing SO claiming |
was obstructing the public highway.
1 then appealed to the Philomath city
council for permission to set my trees six
feet in the street from my fence, which
request was granted. I set out some
more trees with same results. also de-
sired to protect my gateways from becom-
ing impossible. Everything I would
place there for said protection was torn
down, so dug some bitches that stopped
the main travel across my walk and gate.
way. have had some other trees grow
ing and they are now ready to transplant.
1 have already commenced setting them
out, but yesterday received orders to
remove the obstruction. Now, what I
desire to know is, are my ideas of self
preservation and setting out trees in the
street, in accordance with city ordin-
ance to set out shade trees, and in con-
formity with the legislative act referred
to, wrong? Or are the ideas of the others
erroneous? I firmly believe have done
no wrong in regard to this matter, un-
less it be that dug the ditch too deep,
but I certainly have right to conform
to the city ordinance and permit granted
me to set trees in the street. Some think
I live outside the town, and the street is
a county road. But even in that case,
I would be justified in moving my fence
out eight feet in the street and set out
shade trees along my line. and cultivate
them four years, unless the act referred
to has beeu repealed, and I do not think
it has.
Trusting that you, or some of your in
telligent readers will give us more light
on this subject, remain yours for better
times.

THEY BROKE JAlE.
Incorrigab1e Boys arc GIVING the cffi-
GERS MICH Trouble.

Chester Ready and Harry Lyons,
sentenced to jail for 40 days for, as.
sault, escaped from the city bastile
between II and II o'clock Tuesday
night.
The GAZETTE was apprized of the
ohense for which these young men
have been convicted, but preferred
to wait until the court should in
vestigate the charge against them,
before giving the matter publicity.
Ready pleaded guilty to the charge
preferred against him, but Lyons
stood trial and his case was heard
Tuesday afternoon. He conducted
his own case, while Attorney J. F.
Yates appeared for the city.
In the trial these facts were
brought out: Geo. Fiske and fell
low student named Camp, were re-
turning from the basket ball game
at the college armorY last Friday
evening. They are roorning at the
residence Of Sam King, in the
northern part of town, and on their
way home they stopped for a few
moments to look on at the dance
then in progress in Fishers hall.
Here they found Ready and Lyons
and a number of companions who
endeavored to force a row. The
students started for home, and their
tormentors followed. When near
the Zierolf residence, Ready and
Lyons assaulted Fiske and Camp,
knocking them off the walk and
breaking a bone in Fiske's ankle.
The court sentenced both culpr;ts
to serve 40 days in jail without al
tentative of a fine. They were
placed in the main department of
the city Jail, as the steel cell was
occupied by a prisoner serving sen-
tence for drunkenness. They escap-
ed Tuesday night by removing the
bricks from the wall that stood be-
tween them and liberty. Lyons
was captured at Albany, Wednes-
day morning, and he related the
following story of the escape to the
Corvallis officers, together with the
part taken by number of accom-
plices:
While Tommy Cameron, Joe
Day, Ernest Stewart and Eddie
Wilson shadowed the night officer
to give the alarm when his rounds
brought him past the Jail, Tommy
Flett provided the prisoners with a
steel bar which is part Of the hook
and ladder apparatus. With this
implement, Ready and Lyons re.
| moved enough brick from the wall
to permit them to escape The
crowd then congregated at a point
west of town, while Flett and Stew.

place of rendezvous, where Lyons
Ready, Day and Wilson joined
them, and the party went to Al
bany. Here all boarded the early

"This meeting would undoubtedly
be productive of good in the way of
giving earnest consideration to the
bridge question, although it is a
roundabout way of getting at the
problem. If the two courts had
net together directly. without any
intermediate committees, they
would be in position to handle
the matter more expeditiously.
How ever, tie two courts are to meet

question. 1t is. to be hoped they
will decide to take the bridge
jointly, as that is the only solution
of the problem J"
