how it was destroyed by the fire,
or now it was damaged. For instance
Mr.. Bourgeois asked:
IL see on the list an anvil, where
was that anvil situated2''
II was in the corner lathe build
ing.
"That anvil was situated near the
side OF the building, wasn't it?''
1t was near the side of the build
ing
And the side of the building was
of one-inch boards, was it not?"
"It was.''
And would the fire from the burn
ing of these one-inch boards produce
sufficient heat 10 ruin this anvil?''
And then he wanted the witness to
prove by his answers If he could, in
whas the injury to the anvil consisted
of.
Throughout the course of this cross.
examination it became more and more
apparent that the aim was both to
minimize the claim for damage for
injured material, as well as to create
CT use of disagreement in the minds
OF the jury and by this pave the way
for another mistriaI.
At all events, as the case is assum-
ing shape in Its outlines it shows that
it will be an intensely hot battle. Oh.
lection after objection was interjected
by first Mr.. Fithian and then by Mr..
Bacon, to this line of cross -examina.
tion, but the Coult overruled nearly
every objection.

Wednesday Morning.

Court resumed the trial of the of
the Glass Go. Railroad case this morn
ing at 9 O'Clock, with Foster O.
Moore, the last witness of yesterday,
on the stand, Lawyer Bourgeois con-
tinuing his cross ss-examination. This
was done with much tedious iteration
and reiteration.
This examination was to determine
by this witness what of the articles
on the list he had previously made
the articles being locked up in the
factory which went out of blast April
10Th, were actually in the factory
when burned July 4-and which were
"required to be there" and also what
of the stock alleged to be in the
burned factory was actually there,
and which he "didn't know whether
it was there or not.''
The counsel for the glass company
interposed many objections to this
CROSS examination but all were over.
ruled by the Court.
Mr.. Moore was finally excused and
Benz. r. Watson, of rs North street,
was called.
He said he was manager of factory
No. 2 Of the More-Jonas Glass Co.
which went out of blast April 10Th,
1905. He said he had been manager
for number of years. The factory
he said, contained AZ shops, IL night
shops and IL day shops. Asked if he
knew the equipment of tools of that
factory he said he did, and then he
was called on to designate them,
which he did, giving the details of
the tools of shcp.
Asked if he knew what was done
with these equipments. he said
they were all numbered and looRed
up in a storing room which he desig-
mated, and it was his duty to see this
work done. He said this factory was
burned. the wooden parts of the tools
were burned up and the iron parts
were destroyed and sold as junk to the
junk dealers.
He went on to describe how the fac
tories were burned down and destroyed
together with the stock by the fire of
July 4, 1905.
Mr.. Watson was put through a
grueling cross-examination by Mr..
Bourgeois, in which he told very
clearly the things which were de-
stroyed by the fire and what was
saved, and what was done with the
damaged remainders-Iike fux stones
and other clay stones which were sold
to the pot makers, and the iron which
was sold to the iron junk dealers.

Was Rated Among Heaviest Tax
payers in Polk County.

David Peters, who died at his home
near Perrydale, Polk county, August
IA, 1907, was a native of Schonort,
Russia. He was born November IA,
1888, and was therefore nearly "a

emigrated to Canada in 1879, and
settled in Gretna, Manitoba, where he
conducted mercantile establishment
for many years. He came to Oregon
in 1890 and bought large tract OF
land near Perrydale.
Mr.. Peters was one of Polk county's
most successful farmers and managed
his business affairs with much ability.
By never-failing industry and econ
omy, he accumulated large fortune,
and at the time Of his death was one OF
the heaviest taxpayers in the county.
He was a kind and pleasantold gentle
man and was strictly honest in his
business dealings. He will be greatly

THE THEODORE BEAR
sy ]. DEAN coLLINs.


IL verify seems to my erudite mind,
That this thing is true throughout all
human kind:
'Tis beyond all the power OF mere
masculinity,
To fathom the foibles OF fair
femininity;
And ii this broad statement seems
doubtful to you,
We can adduce the proofs that will
show it is true.
Observe how the damsels, with pow
der and paint,
Produce fair compilations where really
they amt;
Or tresses, per Sc, Of raven-black
tone,
Are altered, per oxide, til blonde they
have grown.
Or how, when mouse In the corner
she sees,
She has the mysteries with infinite
ease.
Thin maidens to padding serenely
will turn,
Til they look like the peg on the top
Of churn;
They screech at a snake, as If demon
possessed,
Yet they'll lug a green lizard about on
their breast;
II they see big bulldog, they take to
the trees,
But they'll kiss fat poodle, all COW
cred with fieas.
Yet of all of the foibles OF feminine
kind,
(And many they seem to the pondering
mind,)
The folly Of follies we heartily hate
Is the 'Teddy Bear" craze that has
struck them Of late.
oh, tell me, how Is 1t woman should
care
To lug in her arms stuffed Theodore
Bear?
While this thing so fondly you cuddle
and kiss,
0, beautiful woman, pray think upon
this:
That where there's one bear, there are
anyhow ten
OF lonesome, but pettable, kissable
men,
Whose innermost heartstrings are
smitten with pain,
To think that they all were created
in vaini
Oh, think how it angers the average
chap,
When you take stuffed Teddy Bear
up in your lap,
And cast in its button eyes, CLASSY
and dim,
The languishing glances you might
cast at him.
He'll forgive you all else, but eter-
nally swear
That he'll never forgive you that The
odore Bear.
The feminine freaks, as / mentioned
before,
They truly are many, and they will be
more;
For 'tis out Of the sphere Of the mascu-
line mind
To fathom the ways Of the feminine
kind;
Yet the folly Of follies they heartily
hate,
Is the Teddy Bear fad that has struck
you of late.

BEN GILLIAN MURDERED
Shot Down by DesperadOes While
Fearlessly Attempting to Defend
Employers Property.

|
Ben Gillian, a son Of Hon. Smith
Gillian, one Of Polk county's pioneer
Sheriffs, and nephew Of Mrs. Frank
Collins Of this city, was killed In Cobre,
Nevada, last Wednesday, while defend
ing his employers store from pair
OF holdup men. The following account
of the tragedy is taken from the Walla
Walla Bulletin:
ben Gillian was the only one OF
the seven men in the store at the time
who did not Immediately obey the
commander the robbers to hold up
their hands. Instead, he reached for
his gun, and received bullet In the
head from a SS-4O Colts automatic, in
the hands OF one of the holdups.
Although he lived for about an hour
and a half, he did not regain con-
sciousness from the time he was shot
"The holdup which resulted in his
death occurred between 10 and IL
o'clock Wednesday night. Beside
Mr.. Gillian, there were half dozen
ranchers and railroad laborers in the
store at the time. One Of the robbers
entered the store from the front and
the other from the rear. They pulled
their guns and demanded that every
body hold up their hands.
"GiIliam was standing behind the
counter at the front Of the store and
facing the rear He did not see the
man who had entered from the front,
and thinking that he had but one man
to deal with, made reach for his
gun. He was Immediately shot from
behind.
"He fell to the floor, and the robber
took another shot at him, In order to
make sure that he was not shamming.
This shot did not hit him, however,
and before he could fire third, the
men in the room demonstrated with
him, saying that he had already
killed his man and that it was no use
to mutilate the dead.
SO you think he is dead, do your
said the robber. Well, go around and
find out, if you don't want the same
dose.
HE compelled one Of the other men
in the store TO go behind the counter
and drag Mr.. Gilliam's body out into
the room, SO that his partner could
cover him with the rest, in case he was
shamming. He then went to the cash
register and secured the cash, amount
ing to about 81, 200 They then backed
out and made their escape.
Immediately after the robbers
departed, switch engine was started
for the next town 18 miles away, to
secure doctor, as there was no
physician in Cobre. Before the engine
returned, however, Mr.. Gillian had
breathed his last. He died without
regaining consciousness.
"Mr. Hillman secured the aid OF
party Of Indian braves and as soon as
it was light enough the next morning,
started out on the trail Of the robbers.
Although they had succeeded in get
ting a good start. the Indians over
hauled them and one of the desperad-
oes was killed, The other succeeded
in making his escape.
''The bullet which killed Mr.. Gillian
was q SS calibre. 1t entered the skull
on the left side, coming out at the rear
and slightly to the left, lodging in the
wooden wall of the building.
"The funeral Of Mr.. Gillian will be
held from the residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. s. Gillian, S15 Newell street,
at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and
interment will be in the city cemetery. "

Tho Suicidal Tendency.

During a ministry of very nearly half century on three continents I have been frequently brought in con. tact with intended suicides, and in not few cases have I averted the act, but not always. In one instance a wealthy Belgian nobleman informed me that he would end his life, and at clock the next morning he shot himself. It was clear case of self murder. The man was perfectly sane. In another case a poor, wretched fellow came to me and said that if I did not relieve him at once he would jump into the Hudson. I told him to jump, as the world did not need him, but he never jumped. He was so mortified that a minister of the gospel should take such "a view of his case that he reformed. Tn another instance woman of education. took poison and ky special messenger in vited me to be with her at the hour of her death. But the doctor got there first with the stomach pump. once received most pathetic letter from a young woman who had grown weary of life on account of her trials, asking me if it would be wrong to "end it." I sent her blu pill and seidlitz powder with instructions to take them ta once. The next morning the world looked brighter. It was only her ilver.-New York Sun.

Squirrels Expensive Nest.

Ernest Thompson Seton has written about animals who obey some of the ten commandments "Thou shalt not steal!" is unknown to the colony of red squirrels which occupies the attic of Charles Edmund s farmhouse, near Hanover, N. J. The squirrels got in the attic from the caves and through knothole in a weatherboard.
 The money stringency alarmed Ed munds few weeks ago, and he drew thirty $20 bills from Newark bank. He put the money in small pasteboard box and without telling his wife and daughter, hid the box on the plates under the rafters of the attic. Becom- ing convinced that the financial crisis had passed, Edmnnds went for the money yesterday to put it back in the bank.
 He found only small fragments of the banknotes and the box. The squir- rels had gnawed them to pieces to build nest, of course. Edmunds cannot find the nest, and he is almost mad enough to demolish his house to wreak vengeance on the squirrels. He vowed yesterday taht he will try to kill every squirrel he sees.--New York World.

 In the mail this morning District At torney George Purdy Bullard received card with mourning border around it and upon it was printed the above verse, says Phoenix paper.
 The card came in mourning envel. ope, and the entire work showed that whoever was responsible for it did not intend that anything should be wanting to make it a neat job.
 The lament is undoubtedly due to the recent agitation in this city in ref. erence to the liquor question. Follow ing fast upon the action of the city council in closing the saloons Sundays, dating from January 3lst, came the an- nuling of the license of Bordoni and Magnani, and some wag, whose sense of humor undoubtedly exceeds his sense of chagrin at the blows the liquor bus mess has received, has had these cards printed with the verse, which speaks volumes when the situation is under stood.
 MT. Bullard, in speaking of the verse, said he had pretty good idea as to who sent the card, as there is but one man to his knowledge whose sense of humor is sufficient at all times to make a joke out of what would seem serious matter to others.

The Result of ''Triies. ''

The world is composed of trifes. The nerve of atooth, finer than cambric needle, nearly drove Napoleon Bona parte to distraction, and actually caused the mighty Caesar to lose battle. A mosquito can drive an elephant crazy. A mouse can tease lion to death. The reef which sinks navy is the work of tiny worm. The warrior that walks up to the cannon s mouth and faces death in thousand forms is killed by an insect. Small pleasures make up the sum of human happiness. The deepest wretchedness often results from a perpetual continuance of petty pains. A single look from one you love pro duces exquisite pain or unalloyed plea sure. The first glass of wine that was drunk led to all the horrors, miseries and crimes that have sprung from drunkenness and darkened the earth for centuries.-New York Press.

As to a Denatured Christmas.

To abolish totally our method of celebrating Christmas by the giving of gifts will scarcely meet with pop ular favor. To deprive youthful mem. bers of the family of the accustomed sled, doll or pair of skates is needless bit of cruelty. It may be, however, that there is germ of truth in the charge that Christmas has degenerated. No longer is it regarded in the light of a peculiarly family affair. Receipt of presents carries corresponding obliga- tion to reciprocate, not only in kind, but in cost, and the attendant bills have
