WANDERS SEVEN HOURS
A. ii. Conner Goes Hunting in Dead
Indian Country and FOrgets to
Take a Compass.

A. II. Conner, a well-known en-
gineer of this division, who lives on
Blaine street, had the unenviable ex-
perience last week of wandering for
seven hours in the woods near Brown
mountain, so completely turned
about that he did not know whicn
way to turn. That he finally reached
camp is due as much to good luck
and the firing of shots by Mrs. Con-
ner, who had remained in camp, as
to anything else, as Mr.. Conner was
completely confused.
The story, as related by Mrs. Con-
ner. is that Mr.. Conner and daughter,
Helen, left camp early in the morn
ing in quest of deer. Not being pro-
vided with compass, they became
confused in the heavy timber, and
when they started to return at IL
O'Clock could not get their bearings.
They climbed Brown mountain twice
in an effort to get directions, but
each time descended on the wrong
side. Throughout the afternoon they
wandered, firing shots at intervals to
attract attention, but could bring no
response nor come upon any familiar
trail or sign of civilization. 1t was
near dusk when the faint sound of a
revolver was heard in response to
their shots and they were enabled to
reach camp: Mrs. Conner had heard
the shots and had come out to meet
them. Both were tired and Helen
quite nervous when the ordeal was
over

GIVE VERDICT
OF ACQUTTTAL
JURY IN DARROW CASE OUT
JUST "a MINUTES.
SECOND COUNT MAY Be PUSHED
Court Scene Following Verdict is
Without Parallel in Los Angeles
Many COngratuIatOry kilograms
Received.

Los Angeles.-Clarence S. Darrow
was acquitted Saturday of the charge
of bribery by jury, which was ex-
actly "a minutes considering the
case.
Notwithstanding the verdict in
this case, according to District At
toTney Fredericks, Mr.. Darrow's or
deal is not over. Fredericks de-
ciared he would insist upon the trial
of the lawyer on a second indictment.
Mr.. Darrow was showered with tel
egrams from all parts of the coun-
try, which began pouring in within
an hour after the verdict was given
to the world. They came from labor
organizations, leaders of organized
labor, intimate friends and many
whom he does not know. Most of
them came from Chicago, his home
and the scene of most of his profess
sional activities for a quarter of
century
The courtroom scene which fol-
lowed the reading of the verdict. Just
"a minutes after the jury had re-
tired, was one that had no parallel
in the court annals of this city For
two hours the courtroom scene vir-
tually was unchanged except for the
grouping about the erstwhile de-
fendant and his wife. A half dozen
of the jurors, forgetting their long
weeks away from home, remained
throughout to participate in the inn
promptu reception.
Judge Hutton in charging the Jury
said:
Exception has been taken to the
district attorneys argument. Do
not be swayed by the personal opin-
ions of attorneys on either side when
not supported by the evidence.
THE defendant at the bar, Clar-
ence S. Darrow, is charged in the in
dictment with jury bribery. Before
you can convict this defendant, every
one of the elements of the charges
against him must be proved beyond
a reasonable doubt. If they are not
proved you must return a verdict OF
not guilty.
Notwithstanding Fredericks' state
ment that the Balm case was a strong
er one than that on which Darrow
was tried, attorneys for the accused
lawyer pointed out that it was a
much weaker case, chiefly because
there was no connection shown in
that case between Bert Fl. Franklin,
the confessed briber, and Darrow.

OPPOSES SINGLE TAX
Charles II. Shields and II. +. Blanch-
ard Address Small Audiences on
Alleged Evils of Henry
George System.

Charles H. Shields, secretary OF
the Oregon Equal Taxation League,
and E. &. Blanchard of Josephine
county, candidate for the state legis-
lature, appeared in Ashland last Sat
urday evening and addressed a small
audience on what they termed the
evils of the single tax. Mr.. Blanch-
ard was first introduced and devoted
thirty minutes to the subject, de-
nouncing the system as one that will
bring burden upon the land owner
while eXempting the large holder of
improvements. Mr. Shields occu-
pied the greater part of the evening.
Both gentlemen handled the sub
ject in an able manner, criticising
the leaders of the movement and
calling upon the farmers and land
owners to be on guard against the
initiative measure that will come be-
fore the people this fail. Mr..
Blanchard styled Henry George as a
logician of the most dangerous type
and attacked U'Ren for turning on
the farmer. Both speakers spoke
disapprovingly of Joseph Fels, re-
ferring to him as one of the large
property holders who are desirous of
saddling the whole tax on the land.
Mr.. Shields denounced the leaders in
no uncertain terms for desiring to
destroy private property in land. He
said they will not accomplish tax re-
form by their scheme but a change
of the social system.
Mr.. Shields quoted repeatedly
from his own book, Single Tax Ex-
posed" and also from the book of
Henry George, the originator of the
single tax. He denounced the theory
that improvements should be exempt
from taxation.

Engineer Henry Noble was an old
friend of Louis Lager of this city
and was one of the Oldest and most
experienced engineers on the road.
In speaking of his acquaintance with
Mr.. Noble, Mr. Lager stated that the
engineer was the first one to run on
the Aberdeen extension in South Da-
kota, making his home in Aberdeen
for several years. When the new
line was completed to the coast he
was given an opportunity to run its
best train and accepted the response
bility. The Lager family were very
intimate with the engineer and his
family in Aberdeen and the accident
is matter of deep regret on the
part of Mr.. Lager.
The accident comes still nearer
home, however, when It is realized
that Elvidge McWilliams and Sam
Grubb of this city are express mes
sengers on this train. Sam had been
home on vacation and had returned
TO his task on the day of the acct
dent. He took up his duties on the
following day. Had his vacation ter
minated day sooner he would have
been on the train that was wrecked.
Elvidge went out on the next run.
F. G. McWilliams spent an anxious
night upon receipt of the news of the
wreck until word from Elvidge came
in explanation of the situation. Both
the McWilliams and Grubb families
have every reason to be thankful
Thomas, the messenger on the train
substitute for Sam Grubb, was slight
ly injured and will recover.

CUNMEN MAKE
HIGH SCORES
ASHLAND BOYS BRING HOME
BRONZE MEDALS.
COMPANY OFF FOR ENCAMPMENT
Coast Artillery Corps Bound for Fort
Stevens for Annual Practice
FOrty-five Officers and Privates
Leave This Afternoon.

The team of marksmen who went
from the local coast artillery COM
pany to the annual rifle competition
of the national guard at Clackamas
returned to Ashland Friday evening,
bringing with them the honors for
southern Oregon. The team was
made up of First Lieutenant w. o.
Tate, Corporal j. O. Adams and Pri-
Yates o. E. Diebert Ed Hadfield and
.. H. Henninger, each of whom
brought home a bronze medal for
high scores in the 80 per cent shoot,
Lieutenant Tate capturing two. This
record is an enviable one and is the
best made by the southern Oregon
boys, Medford being unable to cap
ture more than two medals, both in
the so per cent shoot. The Ashland
team easily defeated the Medford
boys by 8 points, a margin that
would have been much higher but
for the fact that Lieutenant Tate, the
crack shot of the Ashland company
was incapacitated for competition in
the team shoot by sickness.
The competition is between twenty
companies of the state military or
ganizations. of which eight are coast
artillery and twelve infantry. The
Ashland company is ranked among
the former. The coast artillery was
successful in defeating the infantry
in the total score. The boys spent
six days at Clackamas, four of which
were devoted to the shooting con-
tests. Not only did the coast artil-
lerymen capture the state team tro-
ply, but>they likewise got away with
the individual championship, the
Kern trophy and the governors tro-
ply match, taking the governors
trophy away from the third regiment
by broad margin.
Lieutenant Tate attaine | zen envi-
able reputation by his excelylent
work in the National Rifle Associa-
tion match, running Pierson of Cot
tage Grove close second. This
match was for total of IS points,
25 points each at 200, 300 and 500
yards. In these distances Tate made
20, "a and 25 respectively, or total
of 60 points out of a possible Is
Pierson scored 20 in the same event.
winning the match The record
made by the Ashland boys is leserv-
ing of great commentator, especial
ly when it is considered that all
members of the team except Tate
were indulging in their first expert
ence on the range. The coaching of
Lieutenant Tate, who was captain of
the team, aided materially in max
ing their high score possible.
Forty-five members of the local
company left this afternoon for Fort
Stevens to participate in the annual
practice and encampment. Fruit
picking has come on and many of the
boys are prevented from going on
that account. The company will be
absent II days and will indulge in
target practice during the greater
part of the time. They will work
with the 10-inch gun, besides a sub
caliber practice. Captain Spencer,
Lieutenant Tate, five corporals and
four sergeants constitute the officers
who accompany the company.
