wants Land Sold.

Pauline Aupperle, guardian Of Kari
Aupperle, an insane person, has filed
A petition with the county court to
allow her to sell 10 acres Of land in
Marion county, which comprises said
Karl's estate, on the grounds that the
money is needed in his support, and
that the land is brush land and unfit
for rental, and that she wants to buy
other property, under advisement Of
the court, that will be in a condition
to rent. She also states that the taxes
on the property mentioned have been
paid for the last few years by disin-
interested parties to keep it from be-
ing sold for delinquent taxes, but the
danger of such a proceeding is great.
The county court has made an order
that the next kin to said Karl shall
appear before January 81, 1905, and
give reasons why this land should not
be sold.

SPORTSMEN WILL FORM
ROD AND GUN CLUB

Notices have been sent out to the
sportsmen of Salem requesting them
TO attend a meeting to be held this
evening at the Office Of William Brown
& Co. on Commercial street at 1880
O'Clock for tho purpose Of organizing
a Salem Rod and Gun club. These
notices are signed by DIR. J. @. Grit
Gth John Seigmund and Paul Hauser,
but IL has been learned that there are
a number of other prominent business
men Of the city interested in this move
ment. The meeting is to be open TO
all and IL is requested that every
sportsman in Salem be in attendance.
The object of the organization will
be the support Of the fish and game
laws, the protection Of the fish and
game, and TO secure to the sportsmen
their rights. One point which will DO
considered tonight after the organiza-
ton is formed and officers elected,
will be the proposed new law prohibit
ing the hunting of upland birds for
the next two years. This law will be
equivalent TO restricting the sports
men Of this part Of the valley from
hunting for the term Of years men
toned, for the upland birds are the
only available in this part of the eoun-
try. II will not be 80 bad for the
Portland nimrods, for they have their
duck preserves on which to hunt in
the winter, while in this vicinity the
ducks are 80 scarce that il is impossi'
BILE TO have a days sport in that field
Il has been limited that the Portland
men are encouraging this movement so
that while they are hunting for a
couple Of years ON their preserves,
where no one else is allowed, the val
lev will be closed and the farmers
will be fattening the birds for them
TO slaughter when they get tired OF
the ducks. The Salem sportsmen claim
hat this closed season is unnecessary
II tho laws which we now have are
enforced, but what can be expected
when the county Of Marion goes
through one whole season without a
game warden--it Is no wonder that tho
birds are scarce under such conditions.
II has been learned from a reliable
source that the gun stores Of Salem
sold 80 much ammunition the month
before the season opened as they did
afterwards. A rod and gun club In
Salem win al a long'felt want, these
organizations usually do more for the
support and enforcement Of the fish
and game laws than all the wardena
that can be secured. Also IL properly
handled they are often able 10 infu'

CAUGHT
FRANK
But Only After a Hot Race
Around the Juice
Station

Louis McClaine is satisfied that this
detective business is not what il is
cracked up to be, and Frank Derby
has an intimation from actual expert.
ence that to be held up is a mighty
serious affair.
The former is the expert gas meter
detective and has a keen eye when it
comes to figuring with the silent little
boxes that grind out light at SO much
per foot, but the gas foot is measured
when it is cold. Lewey is not troubled
J with cold feet however, but since last
evening he has formed a dislike for
"hot-footiug."
The story, which is a true one, start
ed something like this; For some time
the night men at the electric light sta
tion have been bothered by someone
throwing rocks at the building and
otherwise making themselves obnox-
ious.
Lewey concluded to play detective,
and last evening about 1880 o'clock
he was silently waiting for the dis
turber, when with a sudden crash a
rock struck the station. He made
a bound out of the house and around
the building and almost into the very
arms of a a He yelled, throw up
your hands, halt, stOpl" and half a
dozen other hurried EXPLANATIONS.
But the fellow did not stop.
Frank Derby, the real estate dealer,
had been down town coRferring with
a party of newcomers and had a good
sized purse in his pocket. He took a
short cut home and passed near the
electric light station. When he was a
short distance frome the building he
was startled to see a man rushing to-
ward him and shouting "hold up
your hands, halt, stopl" and half a
dozen other startling commands.
And the fellow continued to rush
down upon him.
Frank was not afraid, but he did
not propose to stand there and be rer
lieved of his coin. Lewey intended to
capture the supposed prowler, come
what might. Then the real fun com
menced.
Around the corner shot the broker,
with the gas man right at his heels.
Around the building they went, first
one way and then another, until Frank
found a chance to make for the sta
ton door, where he shouted 81 an
being held up"
The night electricians surveyed the
intruder and then they laughed, but
Frank could not see the joke. Lewey
arrived a little ahead of schedule
time and recognized his friend. They
both realized the ridiculous mixup and
then they had a good laugh.
Lewey says that he would have
caught Frank but he lost his false
teeth and could not strain the air right
for foot racing purposes.
Frank vigorously denies the rumor
that he had to be carried home after
the dash and says that he has more
confidence than ever in the honesty OF
salemites and will raise the price Of
all his listed property.
1t is not known whether Lewey Will
make another attempt to catch the
thief, but it is intimated that he will
resign his position as inspector OF
: Lonesome places"
