TO APPOINT VOLUNTEER
STATE FIRE WARDENS

State Fo, ester F. A. Elliott desires
to appoint, In cooperation with Jos-
ephine county, number Of volun'
teer state fire wardens among coun-
ty officials or others WINS, ordinary
duties lead them to be out over the
country roads and trails a large part
of the time. In addition Mr. Elliott
also favors the appo,nmer. OF one
paid fire warden, who win be expect
ed to devote all his time to the work
or fire patrol, Issuing Of burning per-
mits. advising as to the best manner
or practicabil.ty Of safe burning Of
brush piles, and personally extin-
gushing or supervising the checking
and extinguishing OF any forest fires
which may. through carelessness or
other cause, become Of an alarming
nature.
The state forester will also be au-
thorized to employ help when condi-
tions seem to warrant and will be ex-
pected to carefully investigate and
prosecute all cases of maliciousness
or carelessness In the matter OF set
ting out or handling firs. and In all
other ways carry out the provisions
OF the new state fire law.
Siskiyou Forest Supervisor From
me, Of Grants Pass, to whom the
above request was made, interviewed
County Judge Jewell, with the re-
suit that names Of all the road super
visors in Josephine county are being
presented to the state forester for
consideration. Judge Jewell stated
that he believes Josephine county will
willingly stand Its one-third share
of the cost OF salary and travelling
expense OF paid fire warden and
the cost OF fighting any fires which
might chance to threaten timber OF
other property within the county.
The question as to who shall be re
commended for appointment to thu
position OF paid fire warden has no
yet been decided, although the names
OF two or three likely candidates
have been handed to Mr.. Fromme. /

The body OF John e. York, who
was murdered last Thursday night,
and his body thrown into Rogue riv-
er, was exhumed during the early
hours this morning. The order to
dig into the gravel came from Jus
tice Holman, who instructed Fred
Wichman, in charge at the Granite
Hill cemetery, to uncover the body
and take from York's neck the rope
that was used by the murderer to
take his victims life by choking him
TO death.
Wichman, in speaking Of his grew
some task said: when | uncovered
the grave and got to the body, |
found that the rope had been go
tightly drawn about the mans neck
that II was necessary to use knife.
The rope had cut into the flesh so
deeply that the neck inside the rope
was of the circumference of that OF
child. Then, too, the flesh had
swollen to such an extent that 1t
bulged out around the rope to the
extent that II could hardly be seen.
II got my knife blade under It, and
whacked II In two. then took the
outer clothing from the hody and
with the rope brought them here to
the city hall"
The clothes and rope were tied In
a gunny sack, and an odor OF the
grave was painfully perceptible.
The heavy logging chain which had
been wrapped around york'e neck
which was intended TO sink the b'dy
was also taken to the Justices office
and when dumped on the floor made
a noise which sent q creepy feelint
stealing up and down the spines o.

have come to Oregon as his hat bears
the brand Of merchant in Klamath
Falls. Last night In jail here he
said he had been at klamath Falls,
then denied he had been there. and
told several conflicting stories Of his
whereabouts in this state. Regarding
the murder Morgan, II such Is his
true name, as he now contends. de-
clared absolute innocence. Asked
what he was doing with the dead
mans team and wagons, he declar-
cd that York, the victim, told him to
take the six horses and two wagons
to Glendale; to sell two Of the horses
and put the remainder In pasture.
Morgan after selling the two hors-
es proceeded to imbibe much liquor,
and was having a good time at a
merry-go-round, so say the officers
at Glendale. Asked last night why
he was squandering Works money,
he had no coherent answer to give.
Asked what York intended to do af-
ter he (Morgan), took away the
team, he answered by sayl that
York was to join him at Giendale by
train. In the next breath Morgan
said he intended to come back this
way and hunt York at Ashland. Ask
ed II he could identify the rope and
logging chain which was wrapped
around York's neck, Morgan lepled
hesitatingly that 81 might. Then he
corrected this dangerous slip by say
ing that he does not remember any
rope and log chain as part OF the
camp outfit. Then he said he had
intended to come to Grants Pass land
get the gun left at the camp"
How the officers here learned that
Morgan was headed toward Glendale
was through information furnished
them by S. A. Hand, merchant at 31l
south Sixth street, who. with nj:
sons, was returning from trip tt
Wolf creek. Mr.. Hand met Morgan
driving four horses to the wagor
and trail wagon, and Morgan wal
such an awkward driver that Hant
feared he would smash his rig II
passing. When Hand arrived her.
and learned of the murder and tn
disappearance Of the team and wag
ohs he quickly believed that tn
man he met was the guilty one. IL
Informed the sheriff's office at once
with the result that Morgan was 500
in custody. Hand says he believe
that two men were implicaled in th
murder, that shrewder One planne,
the crime and took several hundre
dollars that York was known to hav
had in his trunk, and lied, leayin
Morgan to take the horses and wag
ons and get caught.

A LINEN SUIT
For Your House

ORDINARY building paper has
never accomplished the pur-
pose for which it has been
used. The walls of residences, apart
ment, public and all other buildings
need something that gives dead line, abso-
lutte separation between the temperatures on
either side, so that one cannot pass through
the other; also, a separation not permitting
the passing of sound.
If you are going to build, dress your
house in substantial suit of linen-Lino-
felt-and you'll get the above features,
1000 perfect in ali respects. Linen is made
from flax Linofelt is made from flax in
the largest flax market in the world-Winona.

Whether the Territory is to regain
possession of the Barracks" property,
on Hotel street, facing the Capitol
square, is problematical, with the
chances in favor of its retention by the
United States government for use as a
barracks site for troops which tho war
department may decide to quarter il
the city.
There is general impression among
army officers that Lelehua eventually
may be abandoned as a brigade post,
retaining Sehofeld Barracks there
merely for an ordinary garrison camp,
possibly for cavalry, while infantry and
field artillery troops win be stationed
In or near the city. This would mean
the development Of Fort Shaftor into q

size, for not only the coast artillery

IN HEALTH CRUSADE

One of the last bills to be introduced
in the house has been rushed through
the formalitles of first, second and
third reading without reference to
any committee, not even to be printed,
and was passed at third reading yester-
day. 1t has to do with the crusade for
better health in this community and
will undoubtedly pass the senate in
qlick time.
The bill is primarily for the purpose
of notifying the various races in the
Territory of orders from the board of
health, and provides that whenever, by
reason of infections diseases in the
Territory, it shall be deemed necessary
to do so it shall be the duty of the
board of health to publish in paper
of general circulation in English, Ha-
waiian, Japanese and Chinese the regu-
lations provided for the emergency by
the board,
The bill passed third reading with
out dissenting vote and was sent TO
the senate.
