WATER RIGHT CONTEST HEARINGS ARE DATED
Disputed Claims 10 Flow Of Oregon Streams To Be Heard By Ore
gon State Board Of Control

The board of control of the state
of Oregon has given notice of hear
ing of contests in the determination
of the relative rights to the waters
of the Rogue and its tributaries, in
counties of Josephine, Jackson and
Curry.
Earlier in the season representa-
tives of the state board were in this
territory taking filings and notice OF
contests, and the time and place for
the hearings on these various con-
tested rights have just been an
nounced. There are several hundred
contests in the district embracing the
three counties, and after taking the
testimony of the witnesses presented
by the parties of the contests, the
board will pass upon it, making final
determination of the matter. Each
individual case will be handled much
as is a case in court, and attorneys
have already been employed to rep
resent many of the interested par
ties AS there has been no adjudica-
tion of water rights in this state for
many years and the laws have
been changed and altered in many
instances, some intricate questions
are sure to evolve in the hearings.
The following are the cases and the
dates upon which they will be heard,
that have local interest:

BACK FROM OHIO.
Nj. Nj. sheldon Returned Last Week
From Visit to Old Home,

NJ. M. Sheldon, the well-known
contractor, returned last Thursday
evening from an extended visit to his
old home in Ohio. This was his first
visit to his mother in 32 years, and
it is needless to say that 1T was
enjoyed very much, though it was
marred by the death OF his brothers.
wife's sister, who was killed by a
train while he was there The lady's
mother was also injured. The con-
ductor of the tain was Mr. Sheldon's
cousin and friend of the victims.
Mr. Sheldon states that the wealth
er there was very rainy and stormy,
there being scarcely two sunshiny
days in succession while he was
there Crops, however, are immense,
not only in Ohio but other Mississippi
valley states, and he says he never
saw such corn in his life as that in
Iowa.
He attended the Ohio State Fair
and was there the day that Taft was.
One of the exhibits that We'd with the
president as an attraction was a steer
that weighed 1850 pounds.
Mr.. Sheldon states that the con-
servative politicians of all three par
ties agreed that Roosevelt would pre-
vent Taft from carrying the state,
but that the republicans and demo-
Gratis believed Wilson would receive

Rustlers Again Are Busy.

The loss of several head of cattle
in the Applegate section has again
led the ranchers of that vicinity to
form a vigilance society, and II one
of the rustlers falls into their hands
it is certain to go hard with him.
The ranchers are much incensed ow-
ing to frequent losses of cattle which
have extended over a number of
months past
On Tuesday night of last week d.
S. Ames is said to have lost five mead
of beeves. Other losses of one or
two beeves at a time have been re-
ported and the ranchers have decided
that it is about time the thievery is
checked
Several months ago the ranchers
of that vicinity banded together to
stop cattle rustling and for time
the rustlers were evidently scared
out, for the daily shortage of cattle
on the range ceased. 1t is said to
have started and the ranchers are
determined this time to put an end
to the matter for all time. 1t is be-
.lieved that the rustlers segregate the
cattle and after securing a fairly
large band they drive them over the
California line and dispose of them
in Siskiyou county to San Francisco
cattle buyers.

HOODOO GETS TRAIN mo. l3
FRIDAY PASSENGER IN COLLISION
ENGINEER POOR HURT AND STOCKAN FATALLY INJURED WHEN
RUNAWAY FREIGHT CRASHES INTO SOUTHBOUND TRAIN
PASSENGERS SHAKEN UP, NONE SERIOUSLY INJURED

The hoodoo certainly got the
southbound passenger train No. 13,
on Friday afternoon, September 10.
Just as the train was pulling out of
Edgewood, and when it was running
at rate of about six miles an hour,
the rear end of freight No. 81, which
had broken in two or got away from
its crew at Weed, crashed into the
head end of the passenger. Engineer
j. G. Poor, who was at the throttle
of the head engine on the passenger,
set the air and jumped before the
crash. He was struck in the leg
with a flying timber and the member
severely bruised, but was able to re-
turn home on No. IL last night. G.
F. Irvine, the fireman, staid in the
cab, crouching down behind the boil
er head, and while splinters and tim
bers went over and through the cab,
he escaped without a scratch. A
stockman whose name could not be
learned was hanging on the side of
a horse car in the runaway train and
was hurled clear outside the right
of way and was thought to be fatally
injured. A hobo who was riding the

jured, but not seriously. The pas
sengers on No. 13 were badly shaken
up and several in the smoker and
day coach slightly injured, one lady
having her chin cut quite badly. No
one in the Pullmans was injured.
There were several from Ashland on
board, but all escaped injury. The
second engine, with E. H. Bush as
engineer and A. H. Connolly as fire
man. had the pilot torn off and the
headlight demolished, but neither
man was injured and the engine was
able to pull the train into Dunsmuir
j. II. Kennedy of this city and Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Sweeney of Usage,
Iowa. who had been visiting in this
city, were on the train, but word has
been received that they were unin-
jured.
The freight cars were piled up,
and the forward trucks of the head
engine on the passenger were up on
the wreckage. The passing track
was cleared in about five hours and
the passenger train proceeded on it's
way toward San Francisco.

ALL AIR RECORDS BROKEN.
Frenchman at Times Reaches Two
Miles Minute.

Chicago, Sept 9.-France today
won the worlds aviation champion
ship. Jules Vedrines, champion of
plane, took from Americans the
James Gordon Bennett silver trophy
without a contest. Not an American
aeroplane arose from the ground in
defense of the cup won by this coun-
try from England last year.
DeLloyd Thompson, the only Amer
lean aviator who had not withdrawn
from the race up to the last hour,
took final glimpse at Vedrines' rec
ord and walked off the field.
Officials of the Aero Club of Amer
lea explained their concession of the
trophy to France at the outset by
saying that in point of speed this
country had not the ghost of a
chance.
Vedrines' time for completing the
124.S miles over the "a mile course
was 1:10:56.85. His average time
was 1858 miles an hour. His only
competitors were two Frenchmen-
Maurice Provost, also in a Desperdus-
sin, and Andre Frey in a Hanriot
monoplane, who quit after the twen-
ty-third lap.
Starting before any of his compet-
around the course like swallow on
the wing, attaining in some of the
laps almost two miles a minute, and
then rested in his hangar while the
American contestants withdrew.

ARE COMPLETE
EVERYTHING SHAPING WELL
FOR DISTRICT FAIR.

er ValIey-Fine Exhibits and At
fractions.

Arrangements are being perfected
for the District Fair which is to be

his calls to several localities in Jose
phine county.
A special feature this year will be
the children's industrial contest, par
ticulars concerning which are fully
set forth in the premium list, copies
of which may still be had on applica-
tion to officials of the society or at
Commercial Club rooms
The fair has been extensively ad-
vertised not only at home but abroad.

pals have been corresponded with
and fair literature placed in their
hands to be used to best advantage
II will be noted that the exhibition
here occurs after the fair and pear
show at Medford and the Grangers'
fair at Grants Pass, and numerous
displays at these attractions will be
released in time for further eXploita-

day, but evening attractions will be
charged for extra.

ment concerning the fair, consult the
display advertisement in current is
sues of the local papers.
On and after Friday, September
20, Superintendent Lowe of the Dis
trict Fair will have his office at

where he will be in readiness to at
tend to all matters pertaining to the
exhibition until the event occurs.

when she attempted to start fire

j. E. RODGERS KILLED.
Southern Pacific brakeman Lost Life
Near COrham Last Week.

Rumors were rife among the rail-
road boys last week that a brake
man had been killed near Coram, on
the south end" but no confirmation
could be had for the rumor for some
days. The following telegram to the
Redding Searchlight gives the par
ticulars, the brakeman having been
comparatively little known here
Coram.-An unexplained accident
caused the death of Brakeman j. E.
Rodgers on an extra northbound
freight at about O'Clock Wednes-
day morning between here and Ken
nett. Rodgers fell unuer his train,
ten cars passing over him and cut
ting off both legs near the trunk
The train crew noticed that the
brakeman had disappeared. His
light went out suddenly and this
aroused suspicion that he had met
with an accident. An investigation
when the train was halted verified
the worst. Rodgers had been killed
without a chance for his life.
The deceased, aged "a, was exceed
ingly well liked by train men, his
personality being of the kind that
attracts. He leaves a bride a widow
in Dunsmuir, his home. She is in
the delicate condition that precedes
maternity, thus the blow will be
doubly hard for her to bear.
A. NJ. Dick, deputy coroner, held
an inquest here this afternoon. The
death was found. as expected, to have
been accidental.
The body will be shipped by the
Redding Undertaking Company to
Dunsmuir and from there it will be
sent to Nashville, Tenn, the former
home of Rodgers, for burial.

BANDIT IN GRANTS PASS.
Lounsberry's Acts There Link in Evil
dence Chain.

What Lounsberry did in Grants
Pass before and after the Yoncalla
train robbery, and who was his part
ner, will be an important develop
ment in the investigation of the fed
eral authorities. A room in Grants
Pass lodging house will be the re-
volving piece in the Investigation.
There clothes were changed, plans
made, and other developments, now
not generally known, given light. In
cidentally, not half the incidents of
that day have been told.
1t was never intended for public
ears that Mrs. Lounsberry had been
partially recognized upon the streets
of Grants Pass, clothed in male garb.
The leak" is now believed by fed
eral and police authorities to have
changed the plans of Mrs. Louns-
berry to return to Medford with her
two boys. There was quite an ex-
change of words at the meeting,
which recent Developments have
made of Importance.
The federal authorities and the To-
cal police have never got away from
the idea that Lounsberry had an as
sistant in both the Redding and To-
peka robberies, on the ground that
it would be impossible for man to
leave and enter a train without the
help of someone, and not attract any
attention.
The whereabouts of Mrs Louns-
berry is still mystery. A telegram
from Topeka says she left that city
on schedule. She may be with rela-
tives in Montana or Minnesota. In
the meantime the home ranch is go
ing to ruin, the crops unattended to,
with kindly neighbors helping all
they can to keep things in order.
