WAS ROBBER.
Said Shooting Followed Hold-Up by
Brown and Collins.

Yreka, Cal.-Dick Kondo is the
name of the Greek who is suspected
of having killed Joseph Brown at
Hit Sunday night. Kondo has fled,
but it is doubtful whether he would
be prosecuted if he were apprehend-
ed, for there is another story than
the one told by Brown as he was
dying. The unverified story is to
the effect that Brown and his COM
panion, Collins, were trying to hold
up the Greek, who shot in self-de-
tense.
Brown and Collins have been
travelling as s)hoboes. Brown was re-
leased from the county jail in Jack
sonville, Ore, last week. Collins
flashed $50 around the hotel follow
ing the killing of his comrade. AS
the men had been without money
prior to the shooting, this is taken as
corroborative evidence that the two
had held up Kondo successfully, and
then the latter turned the tables by
shooting the only man on whom he
could draw bead. Collins, it will
be remembered, was behind lumber
pile when Brown was shot, or at least
that was the story told by Collins.
1t is considered probable that Kon-
do concluded to flee rather than to
stay and be put to the trouble of
defending himself.

MAN MURDERED IN HIET.
Meets Death at Hands of Greek Who
Had Employed Him.

Hit, September 9.-Joseph Brown,
who arrived yesterday afternoon
from Jacksonville, Ore, was shot in
the lumber yard at this place. at s
o'clock last night and died two hours
later The shooting was done, &C
cording to the statement of the dying
man, by a Greek who had hired him
to go to work this morning at piling
lumber in the yard. No arrests have
been made.
Two bullets entered Browns body,
both being just over the heart. Why
they were fired has not been deter
mined, but the authorities are inves-
tigating. Brown says there was no
cause for it.
Brown came here with another
stranger named Bert Collins, who
was also to go to work. The Greek
is said to be the foreman of the yard.
Collins was not in sight when the
shots were fired, but heard them and
summoned people from the hotel,
who found Brown bleeding in the
yard.
The dead man was 81 years old
and his father lives at North Yakima,
Wash, while his mother lives in Chi
cago.

CONFERENCE EDITION.
Pacific Christian Advocate VIII Issue
Ashland Number.

AS a special feature of the NJ. f.
conference, which begins its annual
sessions in Ashland next week, the
Pacific Christian Advocate, published
at Portland, will issue an edition de-
voted TO the conference and its DELHI
erations. including some references
and Illustrations of a local nature,
notably contributions from Judge
Watson and Mayor Neil, together
with several scenic embellishments
pertaining to this immediate vicinity,
all of which have been forwarded to
the Advocate through the channels
of the Commercial Club. 1t is also
expected that several firms in this
vicinity will avail themselves of the
advertising columns of this publica-
tion through special announcements,
as this journal enjoys wide circula-
tion throughout not only the Pacific
coast but also the intermountain
states as well. The Advocate is a
splendid publication ( weekly of 32
pages, and although il is, as its title
implies, the official organ of the
Methodist Episcopal church in this
territory, it nevertheless is devoted
to general news of a healthy and
moral tenor, particularly its Home
Circle" and Worlds Interest" col
umns, which are replete with inform
alton appreciable alike to both
churchmen and the general reader.
1t is furthermore noted with pleas
ure that the Oregonian, in its issue
of the 18th inst, devotes a generous
space to an announcement of the ac-
tivities of the Forthcoming confer
ence.

in by the way of Hit or Hornbrook,
instead of by way of Ashland.
AS an evidence of the wealth of
the district, Mr.. Corbett says he has
$4,000 worth of ore on the dump at
his mine and that the ore being TAX
en- out pays the expenses of develop
ing. His is only one of number of
valuable properties, in addition to
many undeveloped prospects.
One prospect, only hole in the
ground 20 feet deep, has been bond
ed to Los Angeles parties for $751;
600.
The Sterling Mining Company has
just completed a cyanide plant al
their mine near Mr.. Corbett's.
The Alta Mining Company has 600
feet OF cross-cut tunnel completed
and is within 100 feet of their ore
body.
These, he says, are but few of
the many good properties being de-
veloped, and he believes that Ash
land should make a determined ef-
fort to make this city not only the
trading headquarters, but the busi-
ness headquarters for that district.
There are also numerous mineral
springs in that section which he be-
lieves could be profitably brought
into connection with Ashland
There are, ,he says, no great diff
culties in constructing such a road,
nor does he believe rhat the expense
would be prohibitive.

New Residences.

F. f. Conway Co. have sold for i'm

assistant cashier of the Siskiyou
County Bank; c. E. Butler, attorney
and abstractor, and w. E. Combrink,
court reporter. These fine homes are

Also other work is contemplated.
The company has already shipped
several carloads of material for this

WANT FIRE PROTECTION
Residents of East Side Think They
Should Have Hose House on
Boulevard.

Again the owners of property on
the Boulevard see the need of a
hose cart and 500 feet of hose here
in the east end. The fire Monday
morning, if there had been any wind
at all, would have undoubtedly
burned the Klum residence and sew
eral others would have had a close
call. AS it was, the neighbors soon
had several streams of water from
garden hose turned on the roof, and
by so doing saved the house. What
we need and must have is a hose
cart, 500 feet of hose, small house
for the same and fire bell on the
Boulevard near the crossing of Iowa
street, for the reason that the other
companies are so far away that they
cannot get there until the fire is out
or the buildings burned down. We
hope to hear that the city dads will
soon arrange for the protection of
property in this end of town in that
way. t,H.''' ~

A WEEK OF ENTERTAINMENT.
The Claman National Stock Company
Playing to Crowded Houses
Every Night.

Judged by the attendance at the
Chautauqua building. this week, the
people of Ashland appreciate the ef-
forts of the National Stock Company
as entertainers. The audience has
increased in numbers each evening
until the capacity of the large build
ing is fully taxed.
Comment on the work of the vari-
Gus players has been highly favor
able, and that the plays so far pre-
sented have pleased the audience is
evident by the liberal applause given.
The work of the company was par
ticularly good in Mondays presenta-
tion of THE Money King" and the
tone of the play met with cordial APP
proval.
During the remainder of the week
different play will be presented
each night with a complete change
of subject.
Thanks are due to the local mer-
chants who have made this engage
ment possible, and have furnished
free entertainment each night to a
large number.

KLAMATH REPRESENTATIVE.
Henry Kofeldt Thinks Ashland
Should Have Fruit Man There.

Henry Kofeldt returned from
Klamath Falls early in the week,
where he has been as representative
of Ashland S fruit interests. Mr.. Ko-
feldt notes that there is a wide ex-
tent of territory over in Ahat direc-
tion which needs exploitation at the
hands of fruit-growers in this valley
Already California solicitors are in
that field, also representatives from
other sections of southern Oregon
outside of Ashland, and he strongly
urges that there be a united effort
on the part of fruit men hereabouts
to invade that extensive territory
Unfortunately the dates of the
Klamath county fair are identical
with those of the district attraction
here, otherwise a creditable display
at klamath Falls might have been
forwarded from this section. In
spite of this handicap, however, local
fruits should cut more of figure
oyer there throughout the season in
general, and Mr. Kofeldt is of the
opinion that all that is needed is a
Joint effort by growers and dealers
in that direction.
Mr., Kofeldt is strongly of the
opinion that it is better policy to
have big exhibition of fruit where
1t will bring us market than here
where only our neighbors who are
not customers see it, and where il
has a tendency to create and foster
jealousies.

STATE PAMPHLET SENT
Many Measures Are discussed Pro

cation.

The official state pamphlet con-
tanning a copy of each of the meas
ures, initiative or otherwise, to be
submitted to the people in Novem-
ber, together with arguments for and
against these measures, has just been
issued from the office of the secre-
tary of state. II is being sent to
each of the registered voters of Ore
gon. The pamphlet is really book
let of respectable proportions be-
cause of the unusually large number
of measures. The pamphlet con-
tains twenty-four proposed acts, two
proposed amendments to existing
laws, fifteen proposed constitutional
amendments, four general referen-
dun measures, and considerable
space is used for the highways and
blue sky measures.
