TRAGEDY
CAUSED BY
H0ODLUMISM
Details of Corvallis Gun Bat
tie Show That LawleSS
Element Exists
Ready Had Previously Said
He Would Shoot Sheriff
Burnett If They Tried
to Arrest Him

In speaking of the fatal shooting
ARRAY which occurred in that city, the
| Corvallis Times says that hoodlum-
ism, in which a gang of Corvallis boys
have engaged for two or three years
past, is what led up to the tragedy
which occurred there Sunday night.
Chester Ready was often a partici-
pant in the doings OF the gang, and.
on several occasions, fell into the
hands of the authorities. Though less
than 10 years of age, he was of great
physical strength, and the equal of
any ordinary man in a fist fight.
Saturday night Ready was under
the influence of liquor. He wanted
to renew hostillties with Ben Guier,
with whom Ready and his gang pre-.
viously had trouble. A crowd was
gathered in front of Broder's saloon.
Ready and Guier were among the
crowd, and a general question arose
as to whether Ready could whip
Guier. Ready removed his coat and
hat, and hung them on hooks in front
of a butcher shop nearby, turned his
gun over to his friend, Bert Turner,
and indicated that he was ready to
fight. At this, Guier went away, and
in a few minutes returned with ex-
Sheriff Osburn, who pleaded with Kea-
dy to go home. Ready finally started
away, saying that he was going to
find Guier and whip him. Osburn
then decided to arrest Ready, when
the latter drew his gun, and told
Osburn, who was advancing toward
him, not to approach n nearer.
Ready passed into and through a
crowd that had gathered. Among 9TH
James Dunn approached Ready,
and tried to persuade him to give up
the gun, but all met with Keady's in.
variable defy.
All the time Osburn was following.
Ready left the crowd, took to the
street, walking backwards towards the
~postofioe. Both Osburn and Dunn
were then following him. Ready
warned Osburn not to come nearer or
he would shoot. Ready then stopped
within a few feet of the postofice
pavement. Osburn and Dunn contin-
ued to advance. Ready discharged
his gun at Osburn. The latter %crouched
as Ready fired, staggered and was
caught by Dunn.
Ready was then Joined by Bert
Turner, and, after a detour of several
blocks they were approached by
Sheriff Burnett and James Dunn, while
talking near James Taylor's house.
Ready saw the men approaching

CHILDREN IN THE HOME.

They Bring Anxiety, but Very Much
 More Comfort.
 The children of the family-one is apt to look on them as burdens, both CTS and expenses. r
 When the baby comes, be 1t ever so welcome, the mother has more work to do. As it grows into childhood and on to maturity it is more and more care, worry and expense.
 And so the little children, those inno- cent trespassers, are borne with as pa- tiently as possible until they grow to a successful manhood or womanhood.
 Few stop to think deeply about this, or it would be plainly seen how erro- neous the impression.
 The children of the family, instead of being burdens, are burden bearers; small saviors who are daily means of grace, and who lead the world worn parents once more into the paths of in- nocence and peace.
 A baby's tiny hand clasped around his mothers finger has stilled heart throbs of sorrow and of bitter trouble; a baby's arms around his fathers neck have brought to the mans weary brain q renewal Of that love which is all that makes life IivabIe Philadelphia Telegraph.

now It Feels to Go Without Food
 For Seven Days.
 For the first two days through which strong and healthy man is doomed to exist upon nothing his sufferings are perhaps more acute than in the remain ing stages; he feels an inordinate, un- speakable craving at the stomach night and day. The mind runs upon beef, bread and other substances, but still in . great measure the body retains it's strength. oG the third and fourth days, but especially on the fourth, this inces- sant craving gives place to sinking and weakness of the stomach, accom- panied by nausea.
 On the fifth day his cheeks appear hollow and sunken, his body attenu- ated; his color is ashy pale and his eyes wild, RIassy and cannIbalist1c.
 The sixth day brings with 1t increas- ed suffering, although the bangs of hunger are lost in an Oyerpowering Ianguor and sickness. The head be comes dizzy; the ghosts of well remem- bered dinners pass in hideous proces. sion through the mind

MOST BEAUTIFUL OF CITIES

Emglfgh Editor Pays, High Praise to the American Capital.
 Sir George Newnes, noted English editor, who returned recently to Lon don from a trip to the United States, was interviewed by representative of the London Graphic as to his impress gions of the St. Louis exhibition.
 ''The chief reason returned Sir George Newnes gravely, "why I cam not furnish you with my impressions of the St. Louis exhibition is that | did net go there I knew all exhibit t1ons were alike turmoil, confusion, a heterogeneous assortment of impress sions which the mind cannot well dis entangIeand so stayed away. My principal object was to revisit some of the chief cities of the United States and of Canada.
 Washington is of all cities the most beautiful and impressive in the United States. It is growing more beautiful, more imposing. Unlike any other city, it is run not by the municipality, but by the government. Proud of their capital, the Americans therefore spare no expense on 1t. All the railways that run into the city are now to be gath cred to focus at one enormous central station. Does any one say it is too ex- penstve?

 Reminds me Of a discussion ! over heard on the car coming up. Seems that the crime was committed several years ago, but there is still doubt a to whether it really was crime.
 "oh, there is generally doubt. don't you know? Plenty of innocent men die on the gallows.'
 He took no notice of the comment
 .tBut it was peculiar case. It seems that the sacchsed himself said frankly that he didn't know whether he had killed his friend, or whether his friend had done the shooting. It was Christ- mas eve; they had been out calling to~ gether-you know what that means egg-nOgg every few minutes. When they came home to their rooms suppose they put some finishing touches to the situation. At any rate, 1t wasn't long before one of the men was dead with bullet hole in his heart and well, the other fellow was sent up for number ot years"

 'Oh. yes: I knew Gilmore for years He didn't die. He paid pretty penny to get that rumor started from strong source"

 "I should not have intruded-at this time-but I saw you on the side porch" The chords of his throat frightened and cut of his stammering speech.
 There is fire in my study she sug- gested, courteously, when he paused. It was reporter after stuff about her last book? He seemed to be new at the busi- ness. she reflected, and would probably give herself 8 heavy half hour to hold, but she would have been impatient with Insolence had 1t spoken with that voice. So she led the way down the dimly light ed hall, speaking pleasantly of the weather, and by the time they reached her study he had got back the mastery.
 Please don't turn up the lights on my account" he begged, with a touch of 'peremptoriness that soothed even while it hurt.
 Well, if you don't mind, she agreed, lightly. My eyes are bothering me bite
 Your eyes? Why. what is the trouble?''
 And instead of resenting the solicitude in his tone, it came to the woman in swift flash of sweetness that she would like to shed her blood for this unknown, who had brought her into this echo from her dear long-dead. She smiled at the thought, but as she answered:
 'FWhy, Idare say the trouble with my eyes is merely a matter of over-driving. One doesn't violate Natures laws with out paying the penalty"
 'eNor the laws of man, either," he supplemented, nervously.
 s'The laws of man? Deliver me. Give me rather the Comedy of Errors for a code" She spoke lightly. He was plain ly rattIed, but then nothing short of brass itself could force an interview on Christmas eve without being bit ern- barrassed Her words, however, seemed to have helped the man to better grip.

 "I should say,'' she retorted dryly. "Convicts hundreds of men yearly for crimes they never dreamed of commit ting.''

 ''He have no muchee pidgin. His father have catchee one wife for Quong Yu, and Quong Yu want to look seer ! 'Well, should think he would" I rejo1ned cordially, reviewing mentally the ManchuTfan women have seen in the procession of refugees. $a
 Now from what you know in the United States of Chinese you cannot picture Quong Yu. He is healthy and strong, and tall and broad, like true Manchu. He talks under his breath, like servants of other bloods, if he does not like his assigned duty. But he is faithful in every particular, always to be trusted. I told him at the start that the pony, when not in use, must be exercised by the halter daily. He understood only the last part of the injunction, and as the interpreter turn ed up only now and then, as suited his mandarin habits, had for days been unable to stop Quong Yu from taking the pony out for a long walk, even, though had just had 1t on forty mile ride.

 He preferred to be called George, having been in a country where that is a generic term for the off colored servant. Resides, his own name was complicated.
