Baker City is Just now gaining some
very uuenvisble notoristy on the
strength Of its being an open town. 4"
and this fact coming to light, Oh the
heels Of the awful crime just COM
mitted, whereby one Of the best citi.
zens was foully murdered. presumably
on account Of his efforts to ferret out
and bring law breakers to justice is
anything but complimentary to Baker
City. Such facts are enough to drive
away desirable citizens and IL will
hurt the place in the estimation Of
the outside world more than mere
words can possibly express.

In commenting on squib in the
Courier to the effect that Medford
was gaining the reputation for boom
ing its resources by means Of the
shot air" method, Editor Putnam
practically admits that such is the
case and then proceeds to berate
Grants Pass people for being willing
to win out on pure merit, calling
them 'mosshscks" and the like.

If. as Interested Citizen" in the
last Courier intimstes. Governor
chamberlain vetoed the appropriation
for the Oregon University, merely for
political purposes, that gentleman will
find that his action in the light Of
recent events is likely to give him
more or less trouble. The friends
of the state institution now aver that
the Governor action will make it
harder to carry the matter through
another election. If Governor Cham
berlain tried to make capital out of
the matter, he has certainly made a
bad mess of it, to say the least.

This idea OF writing and telling our
eastern friends about the many good
things which we have, Of which they
know but little, it is a capital one.
We should not take it for granted that
they are informed along these lines.
for the very fact that they are still
remaining back In the effete east Is
con elusive evidence that they do mo-
know what they are missing, else we
would see them fastening out this
way to hereafter make their abode.

There is an old saying that "com-
parsons are odious." but nevertheless
it gives us much satisfaction to have
a Colorado fruit grower of large ex-
perience come along, as one did the
past week, and tell us that we have
the ideal climate, soil and other con-
ditions for growing the best fruit on
earth. He admitted that the crop
in that state which is famous for
such products is this year an entire
failure and he was wishing that his
company only had its big orchard
here in Oregon.

Just to think Of it We have not
had death in Grants Pass for two
long weeks and we have many new
comers in our midst every day who
are here to make their homes. This
doesn't look much as though we had
an epidemic of any dread disease,
the outside world believe. And not a

confines of this entire county within
80 days. But Medford is not in Jose

KILLED IN
DESPERATE BATTLE
Workmen and Officers Indulge in
Fierce Fight During Search for
Assassin Of General Pavloff.
Four Men Lose Lives
BY Associated prnss.


ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 12.-Des-
perate fighting between police and
workmen occurred in the Okhta quar-
ter of this city last night during a
domiciliary search.
When the police appeared five work.
men who were i'm the building extin-
guished all lights and opened fire on
them. The latter responded and the
fusillade continued for some time. The
workmcn finally retreated after killing
two district inspectors and two police
men and wounding three policemen.
A quantity of firearms was discov-
cred in the house
II transpired later that the five men
who fought the police were leaders Of
the revolutionary fighting faction.
The capture was acquired during the
investigation into the assassination Of
Gen. Pavloff. A detachment of twenty
police surrounded the house and had
just broken in the door when the rev.
olutionists suddenly fired a volley at
them, and during the confusion which
followed made dash for the door and
escaped, maintaining a running fire
for some distance.
over a hundred arrests have been
made in connection with the assassin
alton of Gen. Pavloff. The capture of
clerk belonging to the engineer corps
was considered to be so important that
an entire company of infantry was
detailed to make the arrest

DEPUTY TAKES WRONG TRAIN
Sheriff Has Key to Handouts With
Which He Is Bound to
Prisoner
Special to The Herald.


JACKSON, Mich, Jan. 12.-While
Sheriff Hardenbrooke was in the station
at Coldwater Deputy Sheriff John
O'Mara, handcuffed to Joe Galenius,
sentenced for attempted murder of his
wife, boarded the first train that pulled
in. The sheriff was at a loss to know
where his deputy and prisoner had gone.
Hardenbrooke had the tickets and the
key to the handcuffs.
Before reaching Albion Deputy
O'Mara found he was on the Lansing
instead of the jackson train, and he was
forced to dig down in his pocket for
two fares. He came here from Albion
on the electric line.
How to get rid of his prisoner was
the next question. At the police sta
ton not key could be found that
would open the lock of the handcuffs.
Finally one was found at the county
Jail and the two were separated, after
two hours. Then Sheriff Hardenbrooke
was notified, and arrived with the three
tickets and the key.
Galenius thought he was to be shown
to chair in the private office of the
Jackson county sheriff while waiting
for Sheriff Hardenbrooke, and great
was his Indignation when he ascertained
that he was to be locked in cell.
II have never been confined in a Jail
cell in my life," he asserted with en-
phasis. 1t did not seem to dawn on
him that he had been furnished with a
, free ride to jackson for the express
purpose Of being locked up, and he de-
clared that his rights were being in
fringed upon. But he went into the cell
just the same. In the evening he was
conducted to the prison. In the years
to come he will become accustomed to
| the sound of changing doors and slid
| ing bolts.

MILK WAGON COLLIDES
WITH STREET CAR

A Belle Vernon milk wagon being
driven by an unidentified man was
the Sisters hospital early last night
and one of the horses was nearly killed.
It's right leg was entangeld between the
iron bars of the fender and had to be
amputated before the animal could be
released.
The driver jumped from his seat just
before the car struck his wagon, and
thus saved himself from probable
death. The milk wagon was completely
demolished, and several gallons of lac
teal fluid formed a snowy river in the
street cutters.
Witnesses of the accident say that
the driver tried to cross in front of the
car when within only a few yards of
it. The car was going at not more than
ten miles an hour.

the news had spread and thousands of
people flocked to the scene.
During the eight hours that the sap
pers OF the fire department and work
men Of the building department toiled
to save Sefert the voice Of the en-
tombed man cheered them on. He had
fallen into an arch formed by the TIM
bers Of the roof and flooring of the -four
stories that held the tons OF debris
from coming down on his body.
His legs were pinned so he could not
move them. His head was wedged so
he could not turn 1t. Yet at the end of
his thirty-four hours imprisonment,
when the last timber was removed, he
himself was able to aid in his rescue
He got to his feet, tottered for a mo-
mcnt, steadied himself and walked
ten feet away 60 where n stretcher
lay. He was placed on It after the ann
bulance surgeons In attendance found
that he suffered from no acute wounds
and was borne on the shoulders of his
comrades to a Hudson street hospital
ambulance at the next corner.
Policemen warned the crowd that
their cheer might unbalance the mind
of the brave man who had undergone
I such an ordeal. The stretcher was
borne through n noiseless crowd, but
when the ambulance was on it's way
the throng burst into wild cheers and
proceeded to break the excise laws and
temperance pledges into small scraps.
When the fremans wife left the
scene In the afternoon, fully believing
her husband was dead, she engaged
John G. Lutz, an undertaken and inti-
mate friend Of the family. Lutz drove
his wagon to Roosevelt street, arriv-
ing there several hours after the fire.
men had found that Scifert was alive
in the ruins.
Meantime Mrs. Seifert went ahead
with her preparations. She had COM
missioned a relative to see that a suit
of black clothes was provided, when
word came that her husband was alive
and in all probability would be saved.
The undertaken on arriving in Roose-
welt street, was greeted with cheers
of joy by Maurice Janischer, a cousin
of Seifert, and other relatives. Believ-
ing that Seifert would be with them
soon the undertaken and the relatives
of the fireman gave themselves over
to joyful celebration, to which they in
