LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
BY FROST THIS WEEK

While there was heavy frost last
night, reports coming In from the
different localities do not show any
damage done to the fruit crop where
the most ordinary precautions were
taken. The smudge pot has been
generally in use for the past three
nights, but last night the thermom-
eter at the weather station here reg
istered "a degrees above, the coldest
night for more than six weeks. Ac-
cording to Prof. o'Gara, 26 above is
the danger line. d
Early Thursday Fruit Inspector
Burke was one the road, keeping
In touch with the conditions In the
surrounding country. His opinion
Is that very little damage has been
done where the smudge pots have
pNNu uo'u, thCHtb anu VedIsi
where the blossoms have pretty we'll
fallen off, do not seem to have been
greatly hurt, even where they were
not smudged. A report from the
Carson ranch states that the ther-
mometer was as low as 21 above and
that people were generally keeping
the smudge pots going. AZ the
Shank and other large orchards
down the river the frost was heavy
and the night cold, water freezing
IN vessels outside; however, every
one worked hard and were we'll
equipped TO prevent a bad freeze,
with the result that, so far, practic-
ally no damage was done.
Reports from Medford tell OF q
very cold night in that locality, but
no damage done, az II was cloudy
through the night and untll late this
morning.

(From Thursdays Daily

It was rumored that lady, who

county jail and who came down with

and that the affair was an elopement,
Hahn having left his wife and chill

tired but pretty face and very

she wanted to be with her husband.

BOTTLING WORKS BROKEN
INTO, REGISTER ROBBED

Last night the bottling work OF
John Sauer was broken into and the
cash register robbed of some ten
dollars, as near as the proprietor
can ascertain. An entry was effect
e6 through the window on the south
side, the screen having been removed
and the window pried up. Who ever
did the Job was bungler and nov
ice at the business, as the register
was unlocked, yet, without trying the
keys, any of which would have open
ed the drawer instantly, the burglar
pried the entire front off the machine
in getting into 1t, making a wreck OF
the machine and putting himself to
lot of unnecessary trouble. An
other feature Of the affair was the
fact that beside the money In the
front compartment of the cash draw
er, in the rear was a gold watch and
a stick pin that we're valued at about
$50 dollars. In turning the register
upside down to get the money out,
these two articles had fallen into
the back Of the machine and were
overlooked. No other articles Of
value were taken, outside Of few
cigars.
No clue has yet been found as to
who the party is who did the job,
but It is said to resemble the work
of boy rather than that Of man.

COURT NAMES DECISION
IMPORTANT TO MINERS

Attorney Robert G.. Smith gave
The Courier today decision
handed down by the circuit court
CT the United States for the district
of Oregon, which, he says. material
ly affects mining men whose claims
are within the lands of the Oregon
and California railway grants. The
decision is one in which certain min
eral claims were within the grant Of
a military wagon road, on which the
interior department were enjoined
from Issuing final patents, which is
a parallel condition, he declares, to
mineral claims within the railroad
grants in this county. The para
graph in the courts decision bearing
upon the local condition follows:
Complainant insists, however,
that the issuance of patents by the
Government Of the United States to
its predecessor in interests is a con-
elusive adjudication that the land
described therein are non-mineral.
That would probably be true If the
patent contained no reservation, but
1t contains clause excluding and
excepting all mineral lands should
any such be found in the tract afore-
said This manlfests an unmistak-
able intention on the part OF the gov
crnment not to convey mineral lands
and repels any inference that the
department adjudicated or intended
to adjudlcate that no part OF the
land described In the patent was min
eral."
While this case has not as YET
been taken on appeal to the United
States supreme court, It in all prob.
ability will be, and should the de-
cilion OF the circuit court be sus.
tained the interior department will
be called upon to issue final patents
on mineral claims within all gov
ernment land grants.

SAYS HE BOUGHT MACHINE
AND CAN PROVE IT
LAND TITLE NOT RECORDED
Wife Shares Husbands Cell In
County Jail--Says All
Mistake

Chief of Police Mclean received
warrant from Portland Tuesday for
the arrest of one Fred Hahn, who is
charged with the larceny of an Olds-
mobile from a Portland auto concern.
o. Il. Mccarthy. member Of the
firm, arrived on the morning train
Tuesday and the telephone wires
from this city were kept hot, with
the result that Hahn was located be-
fore noon at the John Rauch ranch,
north OF Glendale. II seems that on
account of the almost impossible
roads Hahn was forced to pass
through Glendale, which had not
been his intention, and was appre-
hended there. Chief Mclean, Mr.
Mccarthy and A. Mclean, Of the
auto livery, left here for Glendale
and upon arriving there at p. m.
found Hahn In custody and he was
brought back here Tuesday night.
When arrested, Hahn made no re-
sistance and claims that he bought
the auto, that ne was going to Med
ford to buy land and that things will
come out all right when he gets to
Portland. The auto people say that
Hahn purported to buy the car and
gave them mortgage back on It and
also one on 100 acres Of land in
Washington, but upon investigation
II was found that Hahn had no land
and had disappeared with the big
5-passenger car for parts unknown.
