When you visit Salem, be careful
how you walk about the town at night,
lest you meet the fate of Frank Dick,
who was shot and perhaps mortally
wounded by an excitable and over
jealous night policeman, Sunday
morning. The victim of the deplorable
tragedy had arrived on the early over
land train and was starting to walk
down town when the shooting occurred.
The officer says he had read in a
newspaper that some people had
escaped from somewhere in Cali
fornia, he does not remember where
or for what they were wanted, and be-
lieving Dick to be one of the men
wanted, concluded he would stop him.
Firing at him in the darkness, he
stopped him by shooting him through
the body, the bullet piercing the
intestines in nine separate places.
The unfortunate man is now lowering
between life and death in the Salem
hospital. He was plainly-dressed
laboring man and had $l17 in his
possession. Promiscuous shooting by
reckless officers is becoming altogether
too common, and a few examples of
severe punishment might help to
lessen the number Of tragedies like
that occurring in Salem on Sunday
morning.

Recalls Former Davs.

1t carries one back to the good old
days once more to read Dr. Stanley's
contributions to the county news
papers. AS a dispenser Of jawbreaking
medical terms, the Doctor has few
equals and no superiors. This week
he writes the Itemizer that Buena
Vista is producing a large quantity
OF Datura Stramonium whatever that
is) and predicts that it will yet become
one of Polk county's chief products.
Doc used to get in his deadly work
on AL. Snyder's Transcript, and the
words he would use in describing
some disease or surgical operation
were simply prodigious. Especially
did he extend himself upon one
occasion in describing an accident
wherein a farmer of the Luckiamute
country was knocked down and badly
bruised by a horse. The next week,
Judge John Daily, a born wag and
something of word-slinger himself.
wrote a correction of the item IN
which he stated that after a careful
it had been found that
the victim of the accident had "burst
the tympan OF the elodi cammeIion
nerve and abrased the eelecumbinder."
That correction held Doc for at least
month or six weeks.

Members of the Eugene football
team and accompanying rooters are
highly indignant at the treatment re-
ceived in Corvallis, Saturday. They
complain that after the game they
were pelted with stones and mud, their
girl friends were jeered and insulted,
and that they were subjected to other
indignities at the hands of the Cor
Wallis students. All this is nothing
new, so far as the hoodlumism of the
.. A. @. students is concerned The
students Of Dallas College have met
with a similar reception at every
basketball game played in Corvallis
in the last three years and would be
surprised at any less ruffianly treat
ment. In fact, Dallas has been told
in effect that she really has no right
to expect better treatment from the
big Agricultural College, supported
at the expense of the taxpayers. A
Corvallis newspaper once cody sug-
gested to the Dallas visitors that the
mud would brush off as soon as it got
dry, anyhow.

BUY FURNITURE STORE
Guy Brothers and E. V. Dalton Pur-
chase Stock of Kerslake the
House Furnisher.

An important business deal was
made this week whereby Guy Brothers,
the hardware merchants, and E. V.
Dalton became the owners Of the
Kerslake furniture store. The new
firm will be known as Guy Bros. &
Dalton, and will take charge of the
business on January l.
Mr.. Dalton will resign his position
as Deputy Sheriff of Polk county, and
will devote his entire time to the
affairs Of the new firm. He has had
much valuable experience in the
mercantile world and will bring
strength to the firm by his wide
acquaintance and popularity in the
county.
The Guy brothers are known
throughout the county as honorable,
wide-awake business men and enjoy
the confidence of all of their customers.
By strict attention to business and
courteous treatment of their patrons,
they have built up large trade in
the hardware line, and have gained
sufficient experience to enable them to
carry on the enlarged business with
from the beginning.
The new firm will occupy both
rooms of the Kirkpatrick building,
having leased the room now occupied
by the Dallas Mercantile Company
This will give them a large amount of
floor space and excellent facilities for
their goods.

1t is understood that at the request
of Senator Fulton, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, who has been chosen by the
people as senator from Oregon, will
proceed to Washington and add his
influence to that Of Mr.. Fulton before
the departments and at the session of
congress in the interest of Oregon.
This is a good movement and will
serve two purposes. 1t will very much
strengthen the hands of Senator
Fulton and it will give Mr. Bourne
such an acquaintance as will enable
him to proceed after the fourth of
March without the handicap of being
an entirely new man. 1t also speaks
well for Mr.. Bourne's desire to be of
service to the state at his own ex-
pense.-Salem Statesman.

Second Monthly Sale Attracts Farm
ers From All Parts OF
Polk County.

The monthly auction sale is an
established institution in Polk county.
1t is popular with the farmers and
town people, and it has come to stay.
This was clearly proven by the sue
cess attending the second monthly
sale held in Dallas last Saturday
afternoon. A large number of articles
were listed and lively selling continued
until darkness put an end to the sale.
Farmers were in attendance from all
parts Of the county and the bidding
was spirited on every article offered
Millard White acted as auctioneer and
II. l.. Fenton was kept busy as secre-
tary.
The articles listed for sale covered a
wide range and many real bargains
were picked up by the buyers. The
sale embraced livestock, farming
implements, household furniture.
clothing, books, and even fruit and
farm produce. Some of the articles
brought a ridiculously low figure,
while others were sold for more than
their actual value.
Owing to the shortness of the winter
days and the great distance many
visitors live from town, the sales will
begin hereafter at 10 o'clock in the
morning instead of at o'clock in the
afternoon. The next sale will be held
on the last Saturday in December.
Articles for sale may be listed with
Mr.. Fenton, the secretary, at any time,
and only small commission will be
charged for making the sale. The
list will be advertised in the news
papers all month.
