FOUL PLAY
SUSPECTED

Medford, Ore, Dec. z4.-In the
latetr part of November the body of
James Kampbell, known as Dutch
Joe," was found in the snow near
Gold Ray, II miles north of here.
Kampbell had been drinking rather
heavily, and it was supposed that he
had wandered about in the night un-
til overcome by the storm and his
own potations, and had fallen in
the snow and perished. Coroner Kel-
logg, on examining the body, did not
deem an inquest necessary, and or
dered the remains inferred at Gold
Hill. Later, however, suspicion OF
possible foul play arose, and the
body was exhumed yesterday, and an
inquest is now being held.
This afternoon an examination of
the remains is being made for evil
dence of arsenic poison, traces of
which are said to have been found.
1t is said that the mans face was
badly bruised when the body was
found, and that his nose was broken.
He was last seen at his boarding
place in the evening, and retired ap-
parently sober. In the morning he
was missing. and the next day was
found dead in the snow. The inves-
tigation followed the insistent reports
thatKambpell had been the victim of
foul play.

Land Values Are High.

The fact that Camas Prairie
farm land is rapidly becoming a
valuable asset was again demon
strated here Monday of this
week when Barney Tacke pur-
chased 80 acres of land adjoining
his farm just south of town from
Henry Sprute for 81, $50, or $6l
per acre. The land is an excep-
tionally fine piece and it's location
near to town and so convenient
to Mr.. Tackles farm accounts in
part for the high price paid for
it. This purchase gives Mr..
Tacke 400 acres of land in a body,
all lying within a mile of town,
and makes his farm one of the
best and most valuable in this
section.

teams mixed up in one of the
most exciting and high scored
games seen here for years. The
teams were about evenly matched
for size and cleverness and it
was nip and tuck for the entire
nine innings to see which would
win the game. Cottonwood,
however, proved the stronger
and won the game by score of
18 to IA. The feature plays of
the game were the home run by
Deardorff and the safe hit by
little Jack Rookie who, with two
men out in the first inning,
pounded out a safe one, brought
in a man and scored himself be-
fore the side was retired. Fol-
lowing is the lineup:

ANOTHER VALUED
CITIZEN GONE
Lloyd Collier, a Pioneer Resident
of this Section, Passes Away
After a Lingering IIIness---Fu-
neral Held Yesterday.

Lloyd Collier, a well known
and highly esteemed citizen of
this section, died at his home
north of Ferdinand on Tuesday,
April 9th, from the effects of
an illness of several years stand
ing.
The deceased was born in
Indiana on November Is, 1912.
He was left motherless when
quite young, together with a
sister and brother, and had to
earn his own living when still
quite young. He was married
on January 13, 1887, at Waho,
Neb., to Luna E. Richardson

daughter and six sons, all of
whom reside with their widowed
mother near Ferdinand.
The deceased came to Idaho
county 16 years ago and settled
on homestead east of this place
where he lived until last fall
when he moved to a new home
near Ferdinand. He was re
spected by all his acquaintance
as being a man of strict honol
and integrity and leaves a large
circle of friends to mourn hi
loss.
For the past two years hi
health had been quite poor anC
the skill of the best physician
was powerless to check the raw
ages of his disease.
The funeral was held yester
day afternoon at 1:30 o'clock a
the local Protestant cemetery,
large number of friends attend
ing the sad rites.
Besides his family, one brothe
, and several other relatives ar
left to mourn his death. TIL
