Pr Of. c. V. KiIgore, principal OF
the East public schools OF Grants
Pass was arrested and tried tbs
week, on the charge OF assault and
battery upon Harry TrusI, the year
old son Of Mr.. and Mrs 81. L. Trua1.
The trial occurred before Justice OF
the Peace, James Holman. at the city
hall, Monday aftersoon and Tuesday
afternoon, many interested citizens
being 10 attendance.
1t was charged that Mr.. Kilgore, In

s'epped his bounds and had inflicted
wounds upon the body of the child. 30
his mother testified.
After hearing all the testimony
Justice Holman assessed fine OF $40

BUILDING ROAD DOWN

progress under the direct supervision

marketable pine When his work has
been completed 10 per cent OF the pro-
ceeds will be diverted to the school
fund, thus increasing the permanent
means Of keeping up schools. About
$500 has been appropriated to be
used in developing highway, and it
is expected that Congress will get
aside $500 more to be used on this pro-
ject. Extreme difficulty is met in
some places. For instance along
Rosue river in some places men tax
