Although the crowd at the cadet
dance Friday evening did not fill
the Armory as it some times has III
the past, it was an enjoyable affair
just the same.
The game If basket ball at the
Armory, Saturday evening. was
most interesting. But the CIR S

A few days ago Grant Elgin,
Thomas Callahan and Dick Kiger
we're down on the bottom along the
river on the latter's place four miles
below town and ran across deer.
It is seventh day wonder that the
venison got away, as it undoubted-

'pect in which they held the law
saved the Ieer's life.
Some contemplate cur took it
INTO his head to cut the glass in a
number of windows On Main street.
By the use of a glass cutter or some
very hard substance the large glass
in the windows of the buildings
by John F. Allen. the
First National Bank, E. w. S.
Pratt and P. M. Zierolf were cut
deeply and in a sense ruined.
There are no words expressive
enough to use in dealing with the
person who is low enough to COM

1t seems strange indeod that in a
city like Corvallis. city Of orderly

innumersb!e cases of petty stealing
