never to permit her to come within
sight Of King Henry again if l could
prevent it. I then went up to London
with the twofold purpose of seeing
Brandon and resigning my place as
master of the dance.
When presented myself to the king
and told him of my marriage, he flew
into a great passion because we had
not asked his consent. One of his
whims was that every one must ask
his permission to do anything-to eat
or sleep or say ones prayers, especially
to marry, if the lady was of a degree
entitled to be kings ward. Jane,
fortunately, had no estate, the kings
father having stolen it from her when
she was an infant; so all the king could
do about our marriage was to grumble,

tent.

for the thousand kindnesses you have
shown me,' I said, land, although it
grieves me to the heart to separate
from you, circumstances compel me to
tender my resignation as your master

enough to express regret and ask me
to reconsider, but stood my ground
firmly, and then and there ended my
official relations with Henry Tudor for
ever.

given him some new furnishings for
them, and, as was to remain few
days to attend to some matters of bust

the change, since it was the one thing
in life most longed for, yet the period
was tinged with faint sentiment of
pathos at parting from the old life that
had been so kind to me and which
was leaving forever. I say I did not
regret it, and, though l was leaving
my old haunts and companions and
friends so dear to me, was finding
them all again in Jane, who was friend

GOLD KING OF JOSEPHINE
Valua BILE Quartz Property Pur-
chased By Texas Company.

The Gold King mine, the famous
Josephine creek property, has been
purchased by a company OF Texas men,
who Will proceed at once to equip the
mine and place it in condition for
profitable operation. The new com
pany is composed Of A. ]. Roe, David
7. Evans and j. A. T. Evans, all of
Ft. Worth, Texas. and NJ Marks Of
this city, who has been acting as sup
erintendent Of this property in the de-
velopment work lately carried on by
the Gold King Mining Co. The new
owners will put on complete equip
mentg of mining machinery, with
stamp mill, pumping plant, and all
other machinery necessary for the sue
cessfnl working Of the mine. The
machinery is expected to be on the
ground in few days. A force Of men
will be started to work on the main
shaft and the mine will be opened sys-
tematically.
The Gold King was discovered about
two and half years ago by Ed DAILY
and Tom johnson, miners of Kerby,
who were working on Josephine creek
They discovered a buncn of remark
ably rich quartz, scanned with gold, in
the bottom of the creek, with the
water flowing over it. On examina-
tion it was found to be cropping of
a ledge that was traceable for hun
dreds Of feet on the hillside. The
property was later acquired by the
Gold King Mining Co Of Grants Pass
and during the past year this company
has been carrying on development OPP
erations with the most gratifying re-
suits. The mine is supposed to be the
"Frenchman' lost ledge" which Louis
Belfils searched for so many years
without success. Many years ago,
while fleeing from the hostile In.
diatns, he came across this rich quatrt7
cropping bat was compelled to flee
the spot with only hasty examina'
tion. Years afterward he came bach
and searched diligently but was never
able to re.discover the spot. The
placer operations on Josephine covered
the creek bed with debris, which ac
counts for the fact that the ledge lay
so long undiscovered. An unusually
high water laid bare the bedrock oI
this portion Of the creek channel ant
made visible the riches so long con
cealed.

George Hall. one of the we'll known
young men Of this city, was killed on
Tuesday while working at the mine

sunk many years ago. They were both
in the shaft at work, when ii sudden
ly caved in John Hall escaped with.
out injury but George was caught by
a huge rock which struck him across
the chest, breaking number of his
ribs and crushing him terribly. One
of his arms, also, was broken at the
wrist. His father extricated him from
the mass of DIRT and rock and assist.
ance was soon at hand, but nothing
could be done for him and he died in
few hours The accident happened
at about half past two in the after
noon and he died at half past nine.
On receipt of the news of his injury,
party Of relatives and friends left
Grants Pass for the mine, but his
death occurred before their arrival
George. it is said, told his father that
had 1t not been for the broken arm he
would have escaped serious injury,
bat the breaking of that member made
IL impossible for him TO get clear Of
the big rock which caused his death.
George Hall has been resident OF
Grants Pass and Josephine county
nearly all his life. He was very
popular and worthy young man and a
favorite among his acquaintance.

NEW TRIAL FOR GIBSON
Case Reversed In Supreme Court
This Week

A new trial is ordered for T. j.
Gibson, convicted in the circuit court
OF the murder Of Ben Schonbachlor
and sentenced to death. The case has
been reversed in the supreme court and
the following opinion was rendered
this week by Justice Wolyerton
"The case Is reversed by the Su-
preme court because Of an error in
giving instructions to the jury in tie
court below. The trial Judge in
structed the jury that an intent to
murder is conclusively presumed from
the deliberate use Of a deadly weapon,
causing death within year The su-
preme court holds that it was not the
purpose Of the statute TO make this
presumption conclusive, but "it was
only intended TO apply wheret he fact
of killing with deadly weapon delib-
eratel used Is shown, without else TO
modify or otherwise explain the act. 3"
The opinion also discusses the law
of self-defense and concludes by thus
defining the right.
If man. upon his own premises, or
in place where he has right to be,
is assailed without proyocation by u
person seeking his life, he is not
Obliged to retreat or consider whether
he could safely do so, but may stand
his ground and meet the attack in
