WtsER is VERY SCARCE
BuT Still CaliforDio Beats the
World" ~

One of thecurious results Of the long
continued drouth in Southern Cali
fornia is the "driving in" Of a great
number of wild animals from the
mountains to the country and farming
districts To the east Of Santa Bar
bara lies the beautiful Monte Cito
valley, dotted with palatial homes
Of Eastern millionaires. During the
past three weeks the very heart Of
this valley has been overrun with
mountain lions, coyotes. wildcats and
other wild animals. Many persons
have been frightened by the animals
which come to the very dooryard Of
the country places From several
farms OF Monte Cito valley, reports
of the depredations Of the wildcats
have been sent in. Montain lions are
scarce, but a number Of their tracks
are seen daily in the soft mud about
the horse troughs or the stock water
ing barrels. The matter of the long
continued drouth is becoming most
serious. Flowing is postponed and
fruit trees are showing the need Of
water badly. All business enter
prises will be at standstill until 1t
rains. There has been no signs Of
rain since last April

BICE ATTEMPTS ESCAPE
From the Roseburs Jail Last
Week.

Bert Bice, the young horsethief,
who was captured at Merlin short
time ago by Prof. J. p. Mcconnell,
principal of the Glendale schools,
made an attempt Sunday afternoon to
escape from the Roseburg Jail
As Deputy Sheriff McCallen was in
the act Of handing the lunch for the
six prisoners through the Jail door,
partly ajar, Harvey Bice, younger
brother Of Bert's, also confined ON
charge Of horse stealing, threw the
door wide open. The next instant
Bert Bice grabbed McCallen by the
coat, swung him aside and dashed
out the door only to be confronted
with a revolver in the hands of
Sheriff Parrott, who stood in the hall
way outside. Bice made no further
attempt to get away. The other
prisoners had made no attempt to fol.
low Bice, probably for the reason that
they suspected the pres nee of another
officer.

ARE LOOKING FOR KARL
He Was Seen In Grants Pass
Last Sunday.

A warrant was issued in Justice
Berry's court, Tuesday, ON the COM
plaint Of Jas. Pool, charging man
named Carl Anderson with having
obtained money under false pretenses.
Anderson, with companion, whom
he alleged was his brother, came to
Ashland the first part of last week,
from Redding, or Keswick, it is said.
The two men appeared to have money,
and began to celebrate the Christmas
holidays by trying to put down as
much whiskey as they could hold,
and were in hilarious condition,
when Chief Of Police Chase arrested
them and committed them to the city
Jail over night. After their liberia
tion the next morning, Anderson pro
duced certificate Of deposit for so

endorsed this with the name Of
"Carl" Anderson. aud with the sig
nature of Jas. Pool also attached tC

First National Bank. and the certif
cate was duly forwarded to San Fran
cisco for collection. 1t was returned
to Ashland the first of this week
with the explanation that the names
in the body Of the paper and on the
back did not correspond, and the
money was not forthcoming. Th,
warrant for Anderson's arrest fol
lowed. The last known of that indi
vidual he was at Grants Pass, Sunday

GAZELLE THIEF CAPTURED
Stole Money Order Book - killI
Officer.

The young man Shook, who stole a
blank book Of money orders some two
weeks ago from Wells, Fargo q
Co. at Gazelle, Cal, has been cap
tured in Michigan after desperate
res st ince during which he shot and
killed an officer.
Shook, who lived near Gazelle, was
employed to wash the windows Of the
express agents Office at Gazelle and
while engaged in that work, he stole
a blank money order book, which
carries fifty orders, and disappeared.
Traces Of him were obtained occa-
sionally by the express company, as
Shook proceeded at once to do land
office business in cashing orders at the
various offices Of Wells Fargo and
Company.
He drew orders in some cases pur-
porting to have been issued at places
where the company had no Office at
all, but the oompany's agents appear
TO have paid them Just the same, as
they were seemingly genuine. Two
Of these places were Livingston,
Mont, and Charleston, Wash. He
cashed orders for $50. each supposed
to have been issued at these places in
Sacramento It Is understood that
the company has account of % orders
issued by Shook on which he got $50
each from various persons and which
IL is believed were cashed by the com
pany's agents amounting in all to
sll5O. The company has flooded the
country with circulars and its secret
service has bent every effort TO cap
ture Shook.
1t is stated that Shook is a native
of siskiyou county and 10 about "a
years old. He will probably now bt bt
tried for murder in Michigan, and VIII
not likely be returned to California

vigorously frowned ON.
in the east the annoying train huck-
ster of popcorn and yellow cased liter
ature has bern relegated by the Bur-
lintgon to his proper place, the de-
pot platform, and his absence in the
crowded trains has brought many
blessings ON the heads of the head
officials from the travelling public.
The complaint of the general public
against the service afforded them by
porters and walters on through trains
has been steadily increasing but whom
the railroad men themselves began Ia
make complaint and commercial and
professional travellers lodged long and
detailed kicks with operating and car
service officials, then the trouble for
the negro servants began to brew.
Men connected with car service, es-
pecially with dining car equipment,
say that the wall about poor service
aud independent help has increased
immensely since the tens of thousands
of tourists and settlers began to make
the overland trip, and many of the
travelling passenger agents who are
constantly ON the road have added
their complaint TO the general cry.

1t is generally supposed that one
who ventures into ocean solitudes in
a boat little more than three times
longer than himself, and who, after
months Of empty days and silent
nights, finally makes his way across
the Atlantic, would have much to
say about the loneliness of such a
journey-of the tedium and of the un-
easy sleep when ones eyes grow
heavy and the unguided cockleshell is
left to founder in some sudden squall
or be cut in two by some speeding
liner.
But Ludwig Eisenbaum says no. He
has just returned from such a trip
across the Atlantic-one that was ex-
tended to seventy-six days, and
throughout that time, he says, he was
never lonesome for a minute.

be set up somewhere on sea or land,

An Accomplishment That Is Not Hard
to Acquire.
One man has said: Shut me up in
a dark room with a mixed multitude
and can pick out the gentlefolks by
their voices" No matter what your
voice is, you can improve it by learn
ing to modulate it. High-pitched, stri-
dent voices are sharply criticised, and
it is quite within our power to change
them
In the compass Of every voice there
are three registers-thc middle or
throat, the lower or chest, and the
upper or head. The use of the middle
pitch for talking is very desirable, but
the voice should be trained to slide up
and down, varying with the emotions
low when the mood inclines toward
seriousness, and higher when it be-
comes tingled with excitement. An
interesting speaker constantly changes
his pitch-not abruptly, but with ease
and skill-and the greater range one
has the more certain he is to get and
retain the pleased attention of listen

Made His Death Tragic

In squalid court in Edinburgh
many years ago a man who had been
notorious for his cruelties as a slave
trader lay dying. Mental terror made
his end app lling to witness. Accord
ing to Seotch custom, the family
opened the door to let the spirit pass.
To their Infinite horror the bloody
head of a black man suddenly rolled
into the room. The family shrieked
with fright, the man on the bed gave
yell of terror. They turned to his
bedside, but he expired as they
watched. When they looked toward
the door again the head had disap-
peared. Th ere was a splash of. fresh
blood upon the floor to mark the spot
where it had been, but nothing else
to certify that the horrid sight had
not been creation of morbid imagi-

1902 there was an increase of nearly
$4,000 over the previous year, and
472,041 actions were heard out of J..
4lO,484 that were begun.
OF the number of appeal cases
heard, one in every three was sue
cessful, against one in four or five,
years ago. The total cost of British
litigation in 1903 was placed at ST.
809,875.
The best measure of litigation is
usually the number of laws or stat,
utes, and not, contrary to general be-
lief, the number of lawyers. In this
country it is found generally to be the
case that the largest amount of liti-
cation does not originate among
Americans, but among newcomers
here, who appeal to the courts for
the adjudication of matters of trifing
account. In no other country in the
world are there so many damage suits
brought as there are in the United
States.
