The colored gentleman who
professed to be the hero of the
stale egg bombardment in Kings
Valley and who claimed that he
was hit by some 600 of the ripe
eggs, and had to bury a new $50
suit of clothes in consequence,
has been meeting with adventures
all the way down on his trip to
the metropolis. A few nights
ago he preempted a nights sleep
in farmers barn. The odor of
sanctity, or something must have
hung round the reverend gentle-
man, as the farmer found him as
soon as he struck the barn, and
according to his story he was
made to do up the merning
chores, milk 36 cows, pump
water enough to strengthen the
milk, and then was taken to
town and delivered up at the po-
lice station. Smartine under the
base ingratitude of the farmer,
and resenting the insult to the
cloth, the Rev. D. w. Swak-
haner, colored, slept of his in
dignation in the city prison, and
was promptly released in the
morning as there had been no
charge lodged against him. /
There are grave doubts in the
minds of the people In this vi
cinity about his being the hero
of the egg affair, as he claims.
His story Of the event smacks
strongly of exaggeration. 1t is
a libel on the hens of Kings Val.
ley to credit them with produc-
ing 600 stale eggs in 50 short a
time. On the whole it looks

an ordinary and ornery tramp
coon. Go to San Francisco,

reputation of being an 'easy"
town, and your peculiar abilities
will have chance for full and
fair play.

Corvallis is gaining a reputa-
tion as an "easy mark" town,
through the erratic zeal of some
OF her indiscreet scribes. When
ever faker visits this burg he
gets a column or more free ad-
vertising, and the impression is
given out that he carries away all
the floating wealth of the town.
This puts all the other takers in
the country on to the place, and
it will not be long before our
town is flooded with get-rich-
quick schemes and schemers.
This idea of our town is not the
correct one. Our citizens are
not more gullible than the aver
age. Times have been good for
the last year, and nearly every
body has spare change in his
pocket. This makes the crowd
good natured, and a little hum
bug Is appreciated, when some
one else gets bit. Yet this same
crowd would enter with equal
enthusiasm into the sport Of Civ
ing a swindler, a ride on a rail, |
and by the way, it is about time
tor some one to take a ride.
