CALL FOR
animal

Nothing short of shear good for
tune saved the life of the fine young
buggy horse belonging to Peter Rey-
elts, the proprietor of the South
Commercial street butcher shop,
yesterday.
Mr.. Reyelts, accompanied by VIM.
Richter, another local butcher, was
driving out to the Hayden ranch "a
few miles south OF the city, to pur-
chase some beef cattle, and was
crossing a narrow road near the Gro
isan hop field. Owing to the extreme
high water the driver nor the horse
could tell the direction the road laid,
but. thinking they could safely pass
through the small draw, the animal
was urged on. The horse had not
proceeded but a few yards when he
slipped >of the side OF the road, and
plunged into IL feet of water, while
the occupants Of the buggy made
quick preparations TO reach safety on
the road.
Mr.. Richter leaped toward where
he thought the road laid, and made
IL safely, but Reyelts jumped and
landed shy of the roadway, and he
was completely submerged. Richter
went 10 heyelB rescue, ana pulled
him TO safety, and then the poor
horse was seen with his nose stick
ing out OF water and struggling to
gain safe ground. BY this time two
other men had Nrrlyed, but they
could do nothing more than stand
and look on.
Mr. Reyelts finally waded out to
his arm pits with rope and lassoeo
the horse and, with the help OF the
other men, the animal was pulled
back onto the roadway. After the
horse had been drug TO safe ground
and regalned his feet, he plunged
headforemost 10 the other side OF
the water-covered roadway having
been greatly weakened. and strug-
Cling la the water necessitAted furth

CRIMINALITY IS
ON THE INCREASE

According to the records kept at
the sheriff's office for Marion coun-
ty, crime has increased nearly double
fold in the past sixteen months over
that of previous months when James
Culver was the incumbent of that
office. The increase of crime COM
ing to the notice of the Marion coun-
ty officials, can only be accounted
for as being due to the sudden and
large growth of the district and of
Salem especially. Although the
state fair and the Seattle exposition
tended to draw he criminal class to-
ward Oregon, could not possibly have
been accountable for the crimes en-
tirely.
In comparison with any other city
on the coast, Salem has the distinc-
tion of being among the best pro-
tected If not the best. Very few
crimes have been committed in this
city but what have been apprehended
by the Officers and justice meted out
to the criminal promptor. The num-
Der of crimes having taken place re-

Culver served in the sheriff office
there we're 332 criminal cases reg
istered, each individual serving time
either to await the grand jury or as
sentence. During the sixteen
months ineumbency of the sheriff S
office by H. P. Mimic there has been
registered 225 cases, all of which
were criminal cases and mostly
charges of the jailers. Although the
crimes committed in Marion county
for the past few months have not
been extremely revolving, majority
of the criminals are now serving
long sentences.
Britten Bennett, convicted of a
statutory crime, is serving ten years
in the penitentiary; Louis Arstell,
convicted of assault with a danger
