The Free bman ctass is clearly demon
stratirg the fact that they have the right
spirit. At one of their meetinge last week
t hey decided to organize Freshman
track team which will compete against
the other classes in the annual class
m eet rext errire. To excite interest in
this undertaking and to furnish an in
ceptive for the men to get out and train
t or the fesm, it WIS voted to give to every
man winning three or more points in the
class meet Freshman Jersey. Friday
evening the men vi o intend to tryout
for this track team met, in the chapel
where they discussed plars and prospects
and listered to sone worde of kindly sd-
vice given by Trainer Heater. The MEM
bers of the present Freshman claes are
taking genuine interest in school sf-
ia ire, especially in athletics. We trust
that they will turn out some Winners
Barometer.

Governor Chamberlain today offered q
reward of $4,000 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the mnrdere, of tie Casteel FAM
lily at Macleay, about two months ago,
avs Fridays Oregonian. The offer of
the reward came IS complete surprise
in official circles and can be accounted
for only upon the supposition that the
Governor has been informed by private
p arties that they have clue and are
willing to follow it up with an investigs-
tion if reward shall be offered. Sheriff
Culver made very exhaustive investi-
alton at the scene of the murder and
also secured complete history of the
fa mily affairs and relations of the Gas
teels and Mort Montgomery, the bred
man. Culver was tho, oughly convinced
that Montgomery killed the Casteels and
himself, probably because he was in love
with the daughter. who was about to be
married to nan at Roseburg. The Dis
tri ct Attorney is also satisfied this is the
orrect theory of the crime.
