REMARRIES HIS WIFE.
Spider Kelly of Topeka Finds 'sDead''
Woman Alive.

Wichita, Kan, July 2.-To have re-
turned home from South America, after
an absence of Is years, expecting tc
find his wife dead, and to find not only
that she was alive, but that during
the interim, she, believing he was dead
had married again and her second
husband had died, is the experience
of Spider Kelly, formerly a we'll
known prize fighter of Topeka. Re
Gently Kelly has remarked the wife of
his younger days. and the couple are
now in wichita to secure the release
of her two children by her second hus-
band who were admitted to the Ma
sonic home after their fathers death.
Later they expect to make their home
in Topeka, where Kelly IS giving pr1-
vate boxing lessons.
1t was over 20 years ago that Kelly,
who was then quite a figure in the
sporting world and had reputation
as a fighter, tired of America and went
to South America. He was gone longer
than he expected, and as year followed
fortune he had gone to seek. Then ne
heard his wife was dead, and there
remained no special reason for his re-
turning.
About a year ago, however, he came
back to Topeka. Some time afterward
he met a cousin of his wife's, whom
he recognized, and asked about his
wife's death. He was very much sur
prised to learn that instead of being
dead she lived in Leavenworth, that
she had remarked because she hat
heard he was dead, and that her second
husband, prominent Mason, was dead.
He went at once to Leavenworth.
where he found her, in poor health
and practically penniless, but toe
proud to ask assistance. A few days
ago they were remarked and imme-
diately came here after her two chill
w he h0H Wi after
her husbands death. They expect to
return to Topeka the last of this week.

made threats to take her life but the
police would not release her. She was
taken before Police Judge J. L. Car
Isle and her case continued until to-
day. Clarence, her son, was made a
ward of the juvenile court. She made
an attempt to take her life Sunday
afternoon but was stopped by neigh
bors. She visited a neighbor, Mrs.
Susie Gradski, and after a few min
utes' stay told her that she must be
going to clean her house, that it was
not in any shape to, LAY a person out"

posed and the f1eshless skull lay about

idea advanced as to the cause of the
mans death is that he was killed by
a cyclone which struck that vicinity a
few weeks ago. Another is that the
man died of natural causes while

from the trunk OF the body. The off,

ACTIVITY in IRRIGATION MATTERS
FILINGS MADE ON WATER In KEENE AND EMIGRANT CREEKS-WL
Be SUBMITTED To RANCHERS IN AUGUST

Irrigation activities, that have
been evident in various parts of the
valley this summer, are now assum-
ing definite shape about Ashland
and it is hoped and expected that
within the next thirty days the own
ers of land across Bear creek will
be given an opportunity to sign up
for water.
A party of surveyors passed
through Ashland early in the week,
and, when asked where they were
bound for, stated they were going to
Hyatt Prairie to make a weeks sur
vey. This is on Keene creek and is
adjacent to the Keene creek reser-
voir site recently surveyed by Ash
land engineers. The men were said
to be representing T. w. Osgood of
Medford in the interest of the Keene
creek irrigation project, it being ru-
mored that Mr.. Osgood had filed on
dam sites and water rights on Keene
and Emigrant creeks.
When called over the telephone
yesterday, Mr.. Osgood confirmed the
report that he had filed on water in
the above named creeks and further
outlined his plans.
Il have made filings on the water
on Keene and Emigrant creeks" said

hours work he was brought back to
consciousness. He was out again
yesterday and but for feeling of
weakness is as well as ever. Walter
Hash, member of the fire company
was also overcome by the gases but
recovered speedily.
Considerable damage was done to
A. j. Biegle'sa hardware stock and
the drug store of j. j. McNair on
the ground floor of the building.
Acids and water soaked through the
building in streams and wherever it
struck a stove or other metallic ar
ticle it cut and marked it badly. Mr..
Biegle was unable to state the ex-
tent of the damage but said it was
considerable, as much of the goods
can no longer be called new.
The stock in the drug store is
also badly damaged the water hav-
ing soaked everything soakable. Mr..
McNair is in Portland and the extent
OF the damage could not be learned.
DR.. Endelman stated yesterday
that the company could not replace
its loss for $1,000, the apparatus
and supplies having suffered serious
ly, while in addition to this loss the
company is delayed in the filling of
orders by the necessity of repairs
and re-equipment. He stated, how
ever, that the company would repair
the damage Immediately and con-
tinue the bushes on a larger scale
than ever. They have been in oper-
alton about three weeks.

GRANTS PASS IN TROUBLE.
City Hall Question Causes Turmoil
in Council.

That city hall question, like Ban
quo's ghost, refuses to down, and
even the awarding of the contract
has not been sufficient to make the
issues that were supposed to be dead
lie quiet in their last resting place
Mr.. Clarke, the contractor, had
commenced work on the excavation
for the foundation, when a difference
of opinion regarding the position the
structure was to occupy on the site
developed, and the mayor called a
special session of the council to con-
slider the matter before the contract
or had made too much headway. At
the called session adjournment was
taken to Friday night, at which time
only Councnmen Wolfersberger,
Caldwell and Stricken were present.
At this meeting the mayor explained
several features regarding the loca-
ton that did not appear proper to
him, setting forth his objections in
written communication. Another
feature that did not suit the mayor
was the fact that a surety bond had
been first demanded, but that this
provision had been changed in the
signed contract to a personal bond
and thatCouncilman Fl. j. Clarke
father of the contractor, was one
of the signers of the bond. This the
mayor pointed out was a violation OF
the city charter.-Grants Pass Cour-
ier.

Mr.. Osgood, "and have made surveys
of fonr reservoir sites on these
creeks ! am now completing plans
and will take up at once the cost of
putting the water on the land. We
should have this ready to submit to
the ranchers by the middle of next
month"
When asked as to the extent of
the area to be covered, MIR. Osgood
said II was the intention to cover
land between the reservoir sites and
Talent. He said any land about
Ashland would be subject to irriga-
tion from the canals but that in the
area named there is about four times
as much land as the water will cover
and the first to make application
will be provided.
Il have capital interested in the
project with ample means to swing
it if they can be shown that it is feas-
ible," said Mr.. Osgood. Il am con-
vinced that it is entirely so up to
this point and the project will be put
through if sites and rights of way
can be secured without the payment
of eXorbitant sums or without ex-
pensive litigation, these matters be-
ing the only things that will block
its development"

IMPORTANT ISSUE.
Location of State Highway in Cali
fOrnia Causes alarm.

An issue of great importance to
Ashland and the Rogue river valley
towns is being pushed vigorously by
the board of supervisors of Siskiyou
county citizens of Sisson, Dunsmuir.
Yreka, Montague, HOrnbrook and
other towns. A strong delegation
backed with heavy petition again
appeared before the state highway
commission of California last week
and made their arguments against
the proposed state highway going up
the McCloud river route, which
would take it to the extreme east
side of Siskiyou county, making it
come out in the neighborhood of
klamath Falls. The original plan
contemplated sending the road up
the Sacramento canyon to the state
line at Coles. The Yreka Journal
states the case as follows:
THE Siskiyou county supervisors
have established a record that will
go down in history, viz: That they
passed an order that if the state
highway passed through Dunsmuir
up the canyon and then to Coles.
they would build all bridges and give
then an S0-foot right of way. The
state commission claims that by Sis
kiyou making this offer it has raiseo
the building fund $6,000,000, as
other counties have had to make the
same offer 1t virtually means that
they will have $24,000,000 to work
on. 1t is understood that the reason
the engineers contemplate the build
ing of the road up the Pitt and Nc
Cloud rivers is on account of the
saving of about $4,000, but a little
saving like that is nothing compared
with the accommodation of thou
sands of people who visit the noted
summer resorts of Siskiyou, many
OF which are located in the canyon,
besides being the most direct route. -

ELECTRIC is COMING.
Prophecy That Line Will Parallel
5. p. From North.

That the Oregon Electric Railway
is to be extended as far south as
Roseburg in the near future is at
tested in a suit filed in the circuit
court of Marion county at Salem on
Saturday, says the Umpqua Valley
News. The suit is in the form of a
condemnation proceeding and was
brought with a view of acquiring a
right of way across certain land said
to be situated between Albany and
Roseburg. Other than citing the til
tie of the case, the complaint says
the Oregon Electric Company desires
to extend its line to Roseburg and
thereby is compelled to resort to the
courts in order to acquire the right
of way under dispute. The Oregon
Electric line is said to be owned by
the Welch interests, which in reality
are known to be backed by James j.
Hill and his associates. According
to the present surveys it is almost
certain that the Oregon Electric line
will parallel the Southern Pacific
road as far. south as Ashland
In substantiation of the above 1t
might be well to state that the Welch
interests only recently purchased the
local water and light company, here
tofore owned and operated by Ken
dali Brothers of Pittsburg, Pa With
the losal light and water plant in
their possession, the Welch interests
are now prepared to furnish electric
ity with which to operate the pro-
Iosed road upon its extension to
Roseburg.

FIRE in LABORATORY NEARLY PROVES FATAL
FA KOrmann Chemist for ygenO Chemical Company Overcome
by FumeS-Water Damages Hardware and Drug Stocks

Fire which started in the labora-
tory of the Hygienol Chemical Com
pany on the second floor of the Swe-
denburg building last Monday after
noon came very near causing the
death of F. A. Kormann, chemist
in charge, and has been the means
of putting the company somewhat
behind with their work besides doing
considerable damage to apparatus
and supplies in the laboratory. The
origin of the fire is not known.
First signs of the conflagration
were seen about 4:30, when smoke
was noticed coming from an open
window Immediately the odor or
gases permeated the air and the
alarm was turned in. Attempts
were made at first to get at the trou-
BILE with fire eXtinguishers, it being
thought water would not be neces-
sary. This proved impossible, how
ever, because of the terrible effect
of the fumes, and the hose was
trained on the building. The fire
was extinguished without great diff
ficulty and when all was over it was
found that the greatest damage re-
suited from the water.
Mr.. Kormann had a narrow es-
cape AS soon as the fire was dis
covered he rushed into the building
in the hope of rescuing the books
and formulas of the company. He
made several trips with a sponge
over his face, but was finally over
come by the fumes and was hurried
