PEAR AND LIVESTOCK EXHIBITS
WILL BE LARGE
ASHLAND WILL SEND MANY
Carnival Features Will Be Added IN
Attractions, Also Kangaroo
Court.

The fourth annual exhibition of
the Rogue River Valley Industrial
fair will be humdinger, both in the
matter of attendance and in the vari-
ETY. and number of exhibits that will
be shown" said o. S. Blanchard,
chairman Of the executive committee
of the fair, to the Commercial club
Monday evening.
II have made many trips through
the country and have had many
talks with the farmers and can
say as a result that a great deal of
interest is being taken all over the
country and that the best exhibits
ever shown at any southern Oregon
fair will be. on display at this fair
between October 5 and z.
The exhibit Of pears will be es-
pecially complete. In fact I believe
that 1t will be the greatest collec-
tion of perfect specimens of that
fruit ever gathered in the state of
Oregon. Other fruits will also be
represented by complete exhibits.
Ashland will send five hundred
people strong, as will appear from a
letter which the secretary will read
this evening. The Commercial club
of that city, together with the Fruit
exchange, will send two carloads of
exhibits to our fair A man with a
large experience in gathering ex-
hibits for fairs has charge Of the
work Of securing the display and the
city in the southern end of the val
ley can be counted upon to do its
share.

pecially strong and complete.
think that the showing of blooded
stock will be revelation even to the
best informed citizens of the county.
feature of the fair will be the
livestock parade at the close of the
fair"
The management Of the fair has
secured the use of the new Calvert
and Paddock building, also the Claus
Schmidt store building. In these
the exhibits will be placed. It is
hoped that these buildings will have
reached such a stage of completion
as to permit of the use OF both the
upper and lower floors. Back Of the
Calvert building will be the stock
exhibit.
The committee has decided to add
several carnival features and Is now
in communication with several carnl-
val companies. In addition there
will be street performances by local
talent which It is believed will add
much to the gaiety Of the occasion.
Some OF these attractions will be a
German band and a quartette OF
colored singers, who will go from
place to place and sing their songs.
Another feature which has been
planned Is to have a diver who will
pull off his stunts at some place yet

ROY MCLEAN MISTAKES MAN
FOR DEER
DEATH IS INSTANTANEOUS
Tragic Accident Mars Hunting Trip
Three Miles From Town of
Woodville.

Three homes are filled with sor-
row as the result of the shooting
Wednesday Of George Magerle by
Roy Mclean while out hunting three
miles from Woodville-the first
hunting tragedy Of the season.
Roy Mclean and Sherman Estelle
were hunting in the mountains about
three miles northwest of Woodville,
while Magerle was hunting in the
same vicinity alone, unknown to the
other two. Estelle had gone over
a ridge. Mclean saw something
moving in the brush, which at this
point Is very thick. In accordance
with a pre-arranged signal he
whistled and as the object kept on
moving he fired
Going to the place Mclean was
Mortified to find that he had shot
man instead Of deer Death was
almost instantaneous. The bullet en-
tered the back of the neck and
emerged on the right side, severing
vein. The accident occurred short
ly before noon
Magerle had two guns, one. a
twenty-five, was strapped to his
shoulder, while the other, rifle.
was carried on the other shoulder
In such manner that Mclean says
he thought that he saw the prongs
OF deer. This, together with the
color Of the hat worn by the victim,
which, Mclean says, resembled in
color that OF the head OF deer,
caused him to believe he was shoot
ing at deer.
Mclean when he discovered what
he had done became 80 frantic with
grief that he was unable to call
Estelle, so he fired his rifle five
times to attract his attention. When
Estelle arrived on the scene OF the
accident he found his companion
wild with grief and horror and was
compelled to take his gun away
from him.
The two men hastened TO town,
three miles away, and secured n ply
slcian and notified the coroner, who
empaneled Jury which met Thurs
day morning at ten o'clock. Rev.
Robert Mclean. father OF the young
man, left for Woodvllle as soon as
he heard the news Wednesday.
Thursday forenoon L. l.. Jewell. r..
c. Kinney and Robert G. Smith went
TO Woodvllle 10 appear before the
coroner's Jury.
This tragic accident has stirred
the community and aroused much
discussion. Mclean was known MS

Tuesday while out hunting In the
same vicinity with George Loud, de-
putty game warden, he had permit
ted n buck TO get away as the result
OF too much caution.
Tuesday evening young Mclean in
discussing hunting with his father,
the pastor OF the Presbyterian
church here, said that he was always
afraid that something might happen
and that he always took precautions.
His father urged him 10 be careful
both for himself and others n is
n strange coincidence that 10 soon
after this conversation the accident
should have happened.
