Flagman Failed to Stop Freight
Which Crashed Into Crowded
Passenger Train.

New Orleans, La, Nov. IL
Fourteen persons were killed and 80
injured in. wreck on the Yazoo G.
Mississippi Valley Railroad near
here tonight, as a result of the neg
ligence of flagman, according to
the railroad officials.
1t is said that the flagman was
sent back from the excursion train,
on which the killed and injured were
passengers, which had stopped on a
curve, to stop a through freight. For
some reason he failed to stop the
freight, which plowed through the
rear of the excursion train.
OF the killed, four were white
woman, one a white infant and the
remainder negroes.
The wreckage caught fire soon af-
ter the collision and the cries of the
injured, who were pinned beneath
the Wreckage, added to the confu-
sion and the suspense of the others
aboard the excursion who endeav-
ored to save them.
AS soon as the wreckage caught
fire, it is said, the negligent flagman
disappeared.

THIEVES ARE JAILED
Men Who Robbed Chicken House at
Ayers Spur Caught in Act
and Jailed.

William Wagnre and Hugh Baird
are languishing in the county bastile
because of an uncontrolled appetite
In this case it was not an appetite
for booze that proved their down
fall, but yellow-legged fowl. John
Christensen of Ayers Spur caught
these light-fingered gentry in his
chicken house Monday and phoned at
once for an officer. Constable Irwin
of this city secured julius Hart of
this city, who took the officer up to
the spur in his automobile, maxim;
the round trip considerably under
two hours. When they arrived at
Ayers Spur they found Mr.. Christen-
son guarding the two fellows, who
are apparently of the genus hobo,
with gun. They were brought be-
fore j. c. Hurt, city recorder, who
gave them sentence of $50 fine or
20 days in Jail. AS neither had that
amount of the coin of the realm
they were Obliged to take the jail
alternative, and Deputy Sheriff
Thornton escorted them to Jackson
Vile Tuesday forenoon.

HORSES ARE BURNED
Eleven Head Perish in $4,000 Liv-
cry Stable Fire in ROseburg
Saturday Night.

Roseburg, Ore, Nov. 11.-Fire in
this city last Saturday night totally
destroyed a half block of wooden
buildings, all but one of which was
occupied by Banks & Walkers livery
stable, in which IL out of 80 horses
perished. Adjoining buildings were
badly damaged, bringing the total
aggregate loss up to 100000, with
$6,250 insurance. The net loss to
the livery stables and contents is
$13,500. The origin of the fire is
not known, but there is strong evil
dence of incendiarism. A shift in
the wind was all that saved the Van
Houten annex to the Hotel McClel-
len and a residence.
During the progress of the fire a
second blaze, five blocks away, de-
stroyed the residence of Mrs. Lucin-
da Moore, together with nearly all
of the household goods. In her ex-
treme nervousness over the livery
stable fire, Mrs. Moore dropped a
lighted kerosene lamp in a clothes
closet. With the assistance of her
sister, Mrs. Moore dragged her IT.
year-old mother, Mrs. w. B. Single
ton, paralytic, out of the house and
abandoned all else to the flames.

A NEGLECTED INDUSTRY
Professor O'Gara Will Write Series
of Articles on Cider and Vim
egar Making.

Mail Tribune: Although the
Rogue river valley produces apples
enough to supply all Oregon with ci-
der and vinegar, but little of it has
been made becaues there was no mar
ket for it.
Local merchants and jobbers have
refused to handle it because it did
not comply with commercial tests
in other words, it was wrongly made.
Medford merchants and jobbers have
agreed to buy all their supply here
If it comes up to the mark.
In order that cider and vinegar
may be properly made, Professor
O'Gara has written series of arti-
cles upon the subject, the first of
which will appear in the Mail Tribune
Tuesday Later they will be printed
in pamphlet form for free distribu-
tion.
The valley can just as well as not
add valuable commercial asset from
a hitherto waste product

R. MILLS DIED VERY SUDDENLY
WELL KNOWN ASHLAND BANKER AND BUSINESS MAN PASSED AWAY
LAST EVENING OF NEURALGIA OF The HEART

Delos r. Mills, a well-known bank
er, retired merchant, ex-mayor and
citizen of Ashland, died at his home
on East Main street last evening,
about o'clock, aged n years.
Ten days ago, Mr.. Mills, who had
been enjoying his usual robust
health, suffered an attack of neural
gia of the chest, but his illness was
not looked upon by family or friends
as serious, and only short time be-
fore his death was joking with mem
bers of his family and his physician,
DR.. Swedenburg, who felt that his
patient would be able to be out of
doors again today. The neuralgia
went to his heart and the end came
very suddenly.
Mr.. Mills came to Ashland from
Iowa about 25 years ago and engaged
in the mercantile business. from
which he retire da number of years
ago. For seventeen years past he
has been president of the United
States National Bank, the pioneer
bank of Ashland. He had also served
as mayor of the city.
OF immediate relatives, Mr.. Mills
is survived only by his wife and one
grandson, Victor Verni Mills, of this
city.
The funeral will take place on Sat
urday afternoon, Nov. 16, at 2:30
O'Clock, at the residence, and will be
conducted by the pastor of the First
Congregational church, of which the
deceased was a member. He was a
prominent member of the various

FOOTBALL SATURDAY
Ashland High School and Medford
High to Meet on Local Field
For Blood.

'Delenda est Medford" So say
eleven husky football players and
200 loud-mouthed rooters from the
Ashland high. The occasion for the
aforementioned nihilistic utterance
is the return game between Medford
and Ashland, to be played at the high
school grounds Saturday afternoon.
In the first game at Medford, Ash
land won by a score of II to 6, and
hopes to come off with the long end
of an even more lopsided score
This, however, will be no easy task,
as Medford is always formidable and
will come with bloody thoughts of
past defeats to be avenged. The
13 to 0 score by which they recently
took Grants Pass into camp is no
criterion of what they are able to
do, as their boys were overworked
before the game and consequently
were not in the best of condition
The experience of this game ought to
put the Medford team in better trim
than when she last met Ashland.
The local boys, however, are in
the best of condition, there being
few injuries, and only one man,
Frame, being out on account of sick
ness. His place at center will be
ably filled by Dews, who flips the
pigskin like a veteran. Hub" Poor
has been switched from the back
field to tackle and ought, with Gar
rett, to give the line that firmness
which it lacked at Medford. Gravy"
Plymate, who drew high praise from
the Medford papers, can be depend
ed upon to stop anything that comes
his way. The back-field is probably
the strongest of any high school in
Oregon. Ashcraft's fine line bucking
would win him place on varsity
team any time. Phillips is a hard
player and is especially good on the
forward pass. Buck Moody's long
spirals are a delight to the eye of the
expert, while Bob Spencer, the last
of the quartet, is a sturdy player.
Noise and enthusiasm will be there
in big gobs. Tuesday evening Yell
Leader Wheeler marshalled his CO.
horts and tuned up their vocal appli-
ances. The screeching will surely
appall the lads from boozetown.
Thursday evening a rally with es-
pecial new features will startle the
denizens along Main street.
The Ashland team will probably
line up as follows: Ends, Wenner
and Plymate; tackles, Huntley and
Poor; guards, Garrett and Triplett;
center, Dews; backs, Ashcraft, Phi
lips (captain), Moody and Spencer.

CASE WAS
DISMISSED
COMPLAINT AGAINST DOII,
PROVED TO BE DEFECTIVE.
DID NOT ALLECE VALUE OF GOODS
The Case Brought by Charles Hos
ley, Charging Larceny Against
Theatre Man, is Dismissed by City
Recorder.

w. T. DOLL who came to Ashland
few months ago and reopened the
Dreamland theater in the Hosley
building on East Main street, was
arrested Tuesday forenoon on train
No. 13 just as he was leaving the
city. The arrest was made on a
warrant sworn out by Charles Hos
ley, charging larceny as bailee, the
charge being based on the allegation
that Doll had taken from the theatre
and disposed of or concealed the
moving picture machine, which was
mortgaged to Charles Hosley to Sc
cure the rent, or at least was held
under the lease. Recorder Hurt put
Doll under 5000 bonds, which he was
unable to furnish. He retained A.
II. Davis as his attorney and the lat
ter secured a postponement of the
case until 10 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
When the case was called upon
that date, Attorney A. II. Davis, who
appeared for Doll, objected to the
admission of evidence as to the value
of the moving picture machine in
volved, because of the fact that the
complaint did not allege that the act
was feloneously done, nor did it al
lege the value of the goods taken.
After hearing authorities bearing on
the matter, Recorder Hurt sustained
the objection. After the close of the
evidence on the part of the state Mr..
Davis moved that the case be dis
missed because of the defective COM
plant and Mr. Hurt was left no
option but to do this Up to the
time of writing no new complaint
has been sworn out.
There are reported to be others
besides Mr. Hosley who are in the
hole as the result of Mr.. Dolls oper-
ations in this city.

VOTE COST LIFE.
l.. Il. Loomis Died at Hospital Mon
day.

L. E. Loomis of Ross Lane died at
the Ashland hospital Monday follow
ing an operation for appendicitis
Physicians state that an earlier oper-
alton would have saved his life.
Mr.. Loomis had known Colonel
Tou Velle for some time and took a
great interest in his candidacy for
county Judge. He was stricken with
appendicitis several days before cleo
ton but refused to go to a hospital
for operation until he had cast his
ballot November 5. He then went to
Ashland, entered the hospital and
submitted to an operation, but the
malady had made such progress that
he failed to rally.
The remains were shipped to Med
ford Wednesday for interment at
that place.

Upon later returns the crazy Ital-
ian picked up here proved not to be
the same man who was around Ayers
Spur. Deputy Sheriff Thornton and
A. c. Nininger went up there We'd
nesday afternoon and found another
subject for a straight jacket. He
was digging alongside the railroad
for bottle of wine he thought was
buried there. He said he was in a
hurry as he had to be in San Fran
cisco by 6 o'clock that night. In
stead he landed in the Jacksonville
Jail this forenoon. From the SINH
larity of actions they two men must
have attacked the same brand of
mountain dew.
The man who was picked up in the
canyon here is now in the Granite
City hospital and is still out of his
head. His name is believed to be
Lane Rossen, but nothing further is
known regarding him.

CRAZY MAN
IS ARRESTED
STRANGER ATTEMPTS TO ENTER
RESIDENCES.
WAS CAPTURED BY CHIEF OIEN
When Taken He Had Thrown Pants
in Creek and Was Wandering
Around Canyon in His UnderclOth-
ing This Morning.

An insane foreigner created con-
siderable excitement in the city We'd
nesday forenoon. He attempted to
enter the residence of F. +. Watson,
above Granite street, about Z o'clock
in the morning, and by his strange
actions considerably frightened the
occupants. He kissed the door sew
eral times and then tried to break
it open. Upon hearing Mr.. Watson
telephoning to a neighbor he left,
going toward the creek. The next
heard of his was near Smiths livery
stable, where he was seen partially
undressed. Chief Oien was notified
and upon making search found him
near the old electric light station in
the canyon. He had thrown his
trousers into the creek and was pa
rading around in his underwear.
Upon being taken to Jail he went
to bed and was soon asleep. A
search of his clothes revealed no
money. He carried, however, a cou-
pie of small passbooks. One was in
his pants pocket when they were
fished out of the creek, and was bad
ly soaked up. There was consider
able writing in it in some foreign Ian
guage, and partially illegible because
of the water. In this book was a
card photograph of a handsome
woman. The picture was taken by
Louis" Paris, France. He also had
a baggage check, No. D64551, COW
ering goods sent from Seattle to San
Francisco over the Southern Pacific
railway.
In his coat pockets were found a
bottle of liver pills, a timebook,
which carried no name or address,
and a plaster paris cast representing
half open shell in which were the
nude figures of woman and child.
Reports came from Ayers Spur
that a crazy man had been seen
around there and asking that Of
ficers be sent to look him up. He
was seen by some boys running up
and down Neil creek. Later in the
day when a party of men went to
look for him he was not to be found.
From the description it is thought
that it was the man captured here
the next morning.
Those who saw him after he left
Watson's place state that he ran
down the hill and dashed headlong
through the evergreen hedge on
Granite street in a manner no sane
man would do.
