gruff response of one of the party,
and Crefield had nothing more to
say.
NO MASKS WERE WORN.
There was no attempt at secrecy
by those who took part in the affair
None wore masks, and none affect
ed a disguise. The identity of
many Of the party is known, and
these are men of standing and char
acter. They say there was not
boy or hoodlum in the party. In
the main, they were persons who
have felt the results of the strange
spell that the apostles have seemed
to exert on the members of famil.
les, often in way to bring sorrow
and trouble. 1t is believed that
their purpose was not for motives
of revenge. but anefort to getBrooks
and Cref6e1d out Of the community,
hoping thereby to secure a rest
from the religious agitation which
has dethroned the mind of one
young woman of its reason, at least
temporarily.
The party left Main street about
nine o'clock, according to the best
obtainable account. Before that
they had stood in groups in var
ious places. They did not leave
the street together, but passed along
in small groups. They met at the
ferry, and all crossed together.
BROKE IN THE DOOR
FROM the ferry they went direct
to the Beach house. 200 yards OF
more beyond the other side of the
river. There a dozen members of
the sect have held rendezvous for
the past month. Passing in the
gate, the members of the party at
once surrounded the houee, so as to
bar all avenues of escape. Then
several stalwart men advanced to
the front door, and after a loud
knock, burst it in.
Nearly dozen members of the
sect were in the room, Brooks and
Crefield among them. Among the
others were, MIR. and Mrs. Frank
Hurt, Mrs Frank Hurts sister, the
Misses Seeley. and others whose
names could not be learned. Some
of them were seated on chairs and
others on the floor. A number,
if not all, were barefooted. At the
sudden appearance of the intruders,
the members of the sect were more
or less startled. Brooks and Cref-
field were at once ordered to put on
their shoes. It was however, ap-
parent that they were not astonish-
ed. having lived no doubt in the
expectation that something of the
kind was likely to occur, at any
time The female portion of the
assembly began to sing, and so con-
tinued during the rest of the cere-
mony.
TIED APOSTLES TOGETHER
The rest of the proceeding at the
house is quickly told. Brooks and
Crefield were ordered to put on
their shoes and hats. They obey.
ed with alacrity, for the command
to do so was not in gentle tones.
Then both men were tied together
and ordered to pass out the door.
This command they likewise obey
ed, and the whole party followed.
While in the room one of the female
members of the sect, passed from
one to the others of the intruders,
and gazed into each face intently,
apparently for the purpose of fu-
ture Identification.

TARRRD AND. FRATHERED.
The Holy Roller Apostles Roughly
Handled-Married in his new
Cnaf -

Tar and feathers were admins
tered to Apostles Grefheld and
Brooks, of the Holy Roller sect by
a crowd of twenty men Monday
night, The affair took place under
the light of winter moon, near the
first bridge north of the Corvallis
saw mill at about 10 O'Clock in the
evening. The White Caps who
were all Corvallis citizens, crossed
the ferry and went over to the
Beach house, 200 yards to the east
ward.sa They stole noiselessly up to
the house which they surrounded.
Then they broke in the front door,
took the apostles and, recrossing
the ferry, went to the bridge IN
question, where the clothing was
removed from both men, and the
tar and feathers applied. With
the ceremony complete, their cloth
ing was again put on the apostles,
and they were told to leave the Vi
cinity, and not to return OF worse
treatment might be applied. As
sooh as released, both men started
north along the Albany road run
ming at full speed. While the af-
fair was in progress, Brooks was
stoical, never uttering word. Just
before the tar and feathers were
applied, however, Crefield, who
had trembled all along as though
much. frightened, said, "Let us
pray" 1--WE have heard too much
of your prayers already" was the
gruf response of one of the party,
and Crefield had nothing more to
say.

APPLIED THE TAR.

Like all other Commands given,
the men proceeded at once to do as
told. Creh6eld hesitated long
enough to propose a prayer, bu!
the. gruH response was that he had
no time for that sort ofthing and
that there had been too much of
his prayers already, and be began
at once to 1ernove bis clothing.
The scene at the moment was
unqutstionably dramatic. The
moon shone clear and bright 10 the
eastern sky. The two apostles
nude and thivering In the center
of the group. Silence was only brok
en- by the movements of the
hen and by an occasional remark,
sometimes of the jocular character.
One man, surveying Crefield, after
his head and body had been well
smeared with the tar and feathers,
remarked, "Well you would make
a fine old Santa Claus now" The
apostle made no reply. All the
the time he trembled like an aspen,
and was undoubtedly much f Ugh
tened, It was otherwise with
Brooks, who was stoica1 through
i out, and apparently undisturbed by
the proceedings.
After the tar and feathers had
been applied, the apostles were re-
quired to put their clothes on again,
and then they were told to leave
and never to return to the COM
munity. Both started off at full
speed. running northward along the

SENT BACK TO
CONFERENCE
Indian Appropriation Bill Re-
Ceives Another Setback.

On point Of order raised by Sena-
tor Money, Of Mississippi, on certain
provisions in the Indian appropriation
bin which he claimed to be new legis-
lation, that measure was Immediately
recommitted to conference Monday
morning upon d motion by Senator
Stewart, Of Nevada, chairman Of the
senate committee on Indian affairs.
Stewart was also inclined to antago-
nize certain items in the bill previous
ly agreed to by the conferees, and as a
result the provisions for the probate
commissionership courts and the es-
tablishment Of nine additional court
towns in the Indian Territory were
eliminated, as also was the item per-
mitting fullblood Indians to ALLEVIATE
their lands upon application and APP
proval by the interior department.
The bill, as thus amended, was late
Monday afternoon reported to both
house and senate and will probably be
passed Tuesday or Wednesday.

Three United States commissioners,
Leeds, Tate and Trotter have sent in
their designations to Judge Raymond
and they have been accepted.
From the statements accompanying
these designations it would appear
that the act was voluntary on the part
Of the commissioners. The only rea-
son they gave was that they had other
business to look after which required
all OF their time.
There are already a number of APP
plicants for the places, but Judge
Raymond is holding court at Eufala
and will hardly fill the vacancies until
next week.
Leeds is the man who was indicted
by two different grand iuries a few
months ago. He was charged with
conspiracy on one Indictment and with
nsurpation Of Office on the other. How
ever, the trial court acquitted him on
both charges. The others have also
had trouble, but have never had any
charge instituted in the courts

Regions Delight Ia Feast
Of the s'Goobers.u

All bears appear 70 like peanuts
whether the beasts come from the south
ern regions where the peanut grows,
o. from the mountains or the frozen
north. where the peanut is quite un-
known. II the taste for peanuts is not
implanted ia them naturally they ac-
quire il very readily, as is shown. for
example. by the grizzly and the polar
Dear in The menagtrle in Central park.
The big grizzly comes 10 the front Of
its great cage 10 the bear den. and thrusts
Us nose between the bars and opens It's
eayernous mouth. thus affording to
visitors an opportunity Or indulglng III
the sport Of throwing peanuts down Its
throat This is q pleasure that appeals
chiefly to children.
But those who try II don't always sue
eeed IN tossing the peanut into the bears
mouth. There is a railing in front Of
the cage that keeps the people at a lit
tie distance. and the childrens fear is
likely to make them nervous. and sc
their aim Is uncertain. Therefore. the
peanut may hit the grizzly 8 nose instead
Of going straight into It's mouth. or II
may hit one Of the bars Of the cage and
fall outside on the stone In which the
bars are lmbedded.
But when the children throw more
peanuts and when they have thrown all
they have. and have seen the grizzly eat
all Il caught, they have another sight
waiting for them that pleases them more
If possible than It did to see the bear
catch the peanuts in It's month.
When no more are coming to 1t. the
grizzly lifts one OF its big paws and
thrusts II out between the bars as far as
Il can reach on the stone ledge. and
sweeps up and gathers In the peanuts
that have fallen there and eats them
To see the bear eat the peanuts It catches
Is amusing as well as interesting; to see
II stretch out through the bars that pom
derous and powerful paw is almost
startling.
The polar bear comes up and thrusts
its nose through the bars for peanuts
In Just the same way. and It CLEANS those
that fall outside In the same manner
with this addition. that besides thrust.
Ing out its big white-clad paw between
the bars TO rake in stray peanuts that
have fallen outside It sometimes for this
purpose thrusts out its tongue
The grizzly bear eats the kernels Of
the peanuts only. and rejects the shells:
the polar bear eats them shells and all.
But the grizzly has been here the longer
time-perhaps the polar will come to be
equally fastidious. All bears. grizzlies
and polars as well as those from milder
elimes. appear to be fond Of peanuts.

defendant pursued the same course.
The defense having offered no wit

concluding arguments.
Solicitor Osborne followed. It was
generally remarked that his plea to
the jury was one of the strongest ever
heard in the court room. The father of
the dead man was present, and wept
as the solicitor referred to the father
less children and bereft wife.
During the argument of the solicitor,
Judge Adams asked the court to de-
clare a mistrial on the ground that Mr..
Osborne had referred to "the four faith
erless children" which was not a part
of the testimony, and was undue in
fiuence on the jury. The solicitor with
drew his remarks about, "the four faith
erless children" later referring to
the statement of Officer Zipperer as he
fell, "Oh, Lord, my poor wife and chill

objection to this, which the court over
ruled, also overruling the motion for
