OFFICER INTERPRETED.
Friendly Boxing Contest Stopped by
Deputy Attorney Bryson.

A boxing bout vas advertised to
have taken place 10 the rooms of
thelocal athletic club last Saturday
evening. but it did not come to
pass. It was to have>been entirely
of friendly character, and the pur-
pose was to raise funds for the beni'
fit of the organization. The manner
in which it was advertised however
brought the affair within the penal
statute, and Deputy Attorney Bry-
son notified the management that
the law would be vigorously and
impartially applied with the result t
that the plan was dropped.
It is understood that the princi-
pals were local boxers, but their
names were not learned. The act
ion Of Deputy Attorney Bryson
comes in for general commentator
for it is universally conceded that
Corvallis for obvious reasons cannot
afford to permit even semblance
of boxing contests to taks place
within her limits.

WHERE BROOKS WENT.
Returned to the Beach House After He
Was Tarred and Feathered.

Was Tarred and Feathered.
1t has been definitely ascertained
that Brooks, the Holy Roller apos-
tie, did not continue his flight to
the northward the night he aud
Creffield were tarred and feathered.
Instead, he returned with Crehe I'D
to the Bsach house, and there,
with the linseed- oil, secured by
Frank Hurt at the drug store, re-
moved his new coat, Here. how
ever, definite information as to his
movements end. That took place
aft midnight, and it is supposed
he left the place afoot early in the
morning, or that he travelled all,
or part way to Albany with the
wedding party.
Save for his fanaticism, Brooks is
a good mans He did not rely who'll
ly upon Divine Providence for sup
port, but was willing to work, All
the bills he contracted, he paid,
and tits entirely probable that he
was sincere in his pretsnsions, His
wild hallucip ations and fanaticism,
however. spurred on by the inau-
ence of Creffield, was Brooks worst
enemy.

THE RAID.

The disclosures made by the au-
thorities in the raid on the estab-
ishment of Small & Son betray a
condition to arouse just and intense
indignation among the people, of
Corvallis, A game that gamblers
call stud poker has been in opera
tion there. and the players, instead
of men are mere boys. Children
but ID and 16 years of age, are not
only harbored there while gambling
games are in operation. but are act
nally permitted to take part in and
stake their money on the play
While parents sleep in ignorance at
home, their sons are being nurtur-
ed and instructed in this resort
along the lines that mean future
ruin. Present there, is one of the
proprietors, and his answer to the
fact that the play is forbidden by
law and by every consideration of
decency. is barred door. closed
blinds and the stealth OF the law
breaker, There, with boy faces
ranged about the tables, and boy
hands holding cards Is and and counting
out chips, the play goes Oh uudis-
iurbed, regardless Of what the aw-
ful practice means for the future OF
the youth there gathered.
Even the saloons, held up so
often as the embodiment of all that
is vicious in the community, do not
stoop to such a level of vice. There
is. according to the best authority,
no gambling there, and even when
there has been, the players have
been, not young boys. but grown
men. On the contrary. in this new
" discovered fesottl Of vice, the
raid discloses that it is not men.
but boys who congregate there
and in some instances, stepped in
intoxicants, stake their money on
the cards until the gray dawn of
the morning. AS hell-hole, pure
and simple, as is shown by the raid
OF the officers Saturday night, this
jnnocent-appearing confeetion shop
carries along with it back-roomed
and barred-door appendix that is
alike disgrace to decency, a me-
nance to youth, a travesty on leglt-
innate business and a condemnation
of those whose conduct it.. There
ought to be law to close the
place until the public is assured
that the device for mulcting young
bays of their nickels at the expense
of their future ruin, is to be abol-
lShed forever.
The united and universal thanks
of the community is due to the
Corvallis police for what has been
brought to light, and to Deputy
Attorney Bryson, for an honest ef-
fort to enforce a righteous penalty.

RAIDED THE PLACE.
And Surprised a Gambling Game in
Full Operation Corvallis
Police.

The police raided the confection
establishment of Small & Son Sat
urday night. and surprised gainb-
ling game in full opeEation. The
| players were mostly bays, some of
them only about "A years of age.
At one table, the game was what
is known to the green cloth fra
ternity as Stud Poker" and at
/, the other a game of draw poker
| was in progress. At the latter
table. the players were two boys,
| neither of whom were eighteen
! years of age AS near as can be
learned. they were not stalking
money on the game. but were play
| ing for the treats. At the" other
game there were four or five play
ers, aud the statement with refer
ence to it is that nearly all those
around the table were minors.
1 Charles Small. one of the propriet-,
ers. was present in the room when
j the raid took place. All of the
cards and gaming devices were Sc
cured, sud are now in the hands of
of the police.
The raid took place shortly be.
| fore one O clock Sunday morning.
The raiders were Chief Lane, Off.
Ger Osburn and Constable Tom Vid-
ito. The presence of the constable
was due to the fact that the Off
GERS had planned to bring the case
in the state court On account of the
fact that the gaming is best covered
by the state statute.
The front door of the establish
ment was locked, and the lights in
the front room were all out, The
officers secured entrance through
the back door, and gained place
close to th door Of the room where
the games were in progress. Ap-
parently their footballs were heard
for Charles Small opened the door
just as Chief Lane reached it, and
stood confronted by the officers.
The latter passed quickly into the
gambling room, and took posses
sion of the appliances before the
astonished players understood
what was In progress. All the
players were taken at once into
custody. and marched in a body to
the Office of Deputy District Attor-
ney Bryson, who began at once a
searching investigation into the
facts. The taking of signed state
ments continued until three O clock
i Sunday morning.
| The police were aware of the fact
for several days prior to the raid
that gambling was in progress in
the place. The usual difficulty
in such cases is to secure evidence
and for a time this blocked progress
It is said that on one occasion re.
Gently the game ran until four
o'clock on Sunday morning. The
police finally determined to raid the
establishment Saturday night, with
the result described above.
| Gambling is strictly prohibited
by the state and city laws, and the
penalty is heavy in both instances
In the state court, the fine for the
present ofense can be placed as
high as $500. The local author
tiles have managed for several
years to prevent gambling, with
such success that games are net ev-
en- run in the saloons. The town
has been wholly free from it, until
the enterprise made its appearance
in the rear of the Small confection
shop. The prompt and vigorous
action of the officers in the present
instance is the subject of general
commendation.
