lbs utpOt Out VI tb' o'oos s""e th,
city would release the railroad com.
pany from all street aud sidewalk as
sessments, and would assume itself
that expense. Since that date the city
has cared for the street and sidewalks
for the 500 feet across the depot
grounds, but not in manner salts
factory to the public, each succeeding
council doing as little as possible
under the impression that the burden
should not be borne by the city. Mr..
Blanchard holds that the contract
could likely be annulled on the
ground that 1t was obtained Of the
city under duress. But if the con-
tract should be sustained by the courts
then the city could only be hel d
liable for repairs to the street aud
sidewalk as that is all that Is stipu-
lated that the city is to do, though it
has been heretofore conceded by the
city that repairs covered all costs Of
constructing and maintaining the
sidewalks and street paving. Mr..
Blanchard stated that the courts Of
different states have held that repairs
applied to side ewalks and streets only
means maintenance and not con-
structipg or rebuilding with new
material. II. G. Bobziea asked that
that the Club bring the question be-
fore the city council and on motion
OF Il. l.. Coe committee Of five was
appointed by II. II. O'Neill, chairman
pro tenn. consisting Of G. S. Ca houn,
II. Q. Bobzien. Il. L. Coe aud C. L.
Msngum.
In conformity to . resoluti on pass
ed ut previous meeting the Club
authorized Secretary Patillo to notify
all members that they were not to
take up with any transient advertis-
ing scheme or subscribe to any con.
tribution paper until it had been
approved by the advertising commit
tee OF the Club. The object OF this
rule Is to suppress the fake adver-
tising aud unworthy or imprscticable
contribution schemes.
Secretary Patillo called attention to
the advantages that fair would be to
the city and county. H. c. Kinney
conceded that fair was helpful in
Advertising u section and stimulating
better methods of agriculture but
previous experience with fairs in
Rogue River Valley had convinced
him that there was an unlimited
amount Of work and but few workers
TO make a fair self.sustaining
financially.
The details and date for the Clubs's
annual banquet that is to be held in
January was left to Chairman Bob
1ien and his committee that had been
appointed at previous meeting.

ANOTHER MURDER
Holiday Season In Lam ar Again
MARRIED by Violence

The happiness and merriment OF
Christmas day was rudely interrupted
in Lamar by the news of the discovery
Of the dead bodies of A, II. Maxwell and
bis wife, a we'll known aged couple who
live on a claim about six miles south of
Lamar. The two old people who were in
Ted and IN their night clothes had evil
IDENTIFY retired. Their bed clothing was
carefully arranged as il they had retired
and passed peacefully away without q
struggle. But each had corner Of .
blanket stuffed in the mouth and other
evidences OF violent struggle. Neither
poison nor any other evidences of suicide
are apparent, and it is inconceivable
from the appearances that the deaths
could have been either accidental or Of
their own choosing. The old man was
at Sunday School in the neighborhood
on Sunday afternoon, aud that 10 the last
time either was seen alive.
They had evidently been dead several
days, most likely met their end on Sun
day night and lay there till Wednesday.
The horses were tied up in the barn and
the chickens fastened as they usually
were Of nights, and both animals and
fowls showed evidences of having been
deprived for q considerable time of both
feed and water.
Coroner Kellogg was notified OF the
discovery and no one entered the house
until he arrived on the scene. Prompt
measures were taken by him and the
bodies were brought into town. A cor
oner's jury has been empanelled, com
posed Of Responsible citizens, viz: E. M.
Mears, st. George Creaghs, j. NJ. Wri hit
J. ID. Martin W. s. Smith and Mr.. Gen
try. A post morton examination has
been deemed necessary by the Coroner
aad Deputy Distrie Attorney. and will
not be concluded until after this paper
is in press.
The coroner's inquest will doubt less
occupy more than one day and will prob
ably be held behind closed doors.
As the matter now stands there seems
TO be 40 doubt Of foul murder, and no
considerable evidence either as to mo- |
tive, or to psrpstrstor OF crime. The old |
folks lived alone and had no relations
except an adopted son who has been |
working on the north side of the river at
Carl Erlkson's place; and was said to
have been over there at time Of the ira.
jedy. There WAS no disorder In the
house but everything indicated the neat
and methodical habits Of the aged couple. |
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Maxwell were highly |
respected by all their neighbsrs and &C.
quaintsnces and all were shocked and
grieved by their untimely taking off.
Every effort will be made to solve the
mystery Of this undoubted crime.
The postmortem examination was held |
by Drs. Hasty and Kellogg, and every
indication pointed toward death by
strangulation was their judgment.

Bishop Hare doub.s whether much
will come of the effort to postpone the
operation Of the divorce law passed by
the recent legislature and thus to con-
tinue the divorce traffic for two years
longer. According to the law, the
name Of every one who signs a petition
for a referendum, with name OF every
m who signs a petition for a referen-
dunn, with his residence and post office
address, must be filed with the Secre-
tary of State. Measures have been
set on foot to have these names, resi-
dences and post Office addresses,
scattered broadcast all over the States,
as a sort Of campaign document.
He questions whether the number OF
men is large who would like TO have
themselves thus blazoned ut present
before their families and the public at
large, or who would be willing that
their names should 60 down To posteri-
~, in the history of the state, on this
