MRS. GEO PARKER
RETURNS FROM TRIP.

Mrs. Geo. Parker, who has been
in the southern states for the past
seven months visiting friends and
relatives, returned Thursday morn
ing. While absent, Mrs. Parker Wis
tied Florida, Alabama and Georgia,
in Alabama meeting sister whose
whereabout had been lost to her for
the past thirty years. In Pensacola,
Florida, she visited her son, Charles
Parker, and from near Birmingham
Ala, she brought oranges picked
from trees that Mr.. Parker planted
out thirty years ago,
One of the interesting features OF
Mrs. Parker's visit to the old home
place was the fact that woman to
whom she went to school fifty years
ago is still teaching In the same
school and the same room, though
she is nearly eighty years OF age
She remembered Mrs. Parker as hel
former pupil, and told her that she
enjoyed welding the birch now al
we'll as she did half century
ago.

The grand jury completed its la
bors for the present Thursday after
noon, returning in all 16 true bills
and five not true bills. The two last
indictments are against parties for
the obtaining of money under false
pretenses, but as the parties have
not yet been apprehended, the
names are not given to the public.
Not true bills were returned in the
investigation of the charge against
Jas Madison, bound over from the
justice court on complaint alleg-
ing lewd and lascivious conduct, and
in the case of w. A. Wood, who 1t
was alleged had obtained horse
and buggy at Burkhalter's livery
stable, ad had then failed to return
II.
In its report upon the county Of
ficers and the management of things
at the court house was as follows;
1--WE also have investigated all OF
the county offices and so far as our
limited investigation will disclose
we find these offices to be conduct
ed in an efficient and businesslike
manner, the vault in the court house
however, Is in most deplorable
condition and is not only a source
of expense to the taxpayers OF the
county because Of its inadequacy ant
inefficiency, but 1t is menaced by fire
and a complete loss of all the coun'
ty records would surely follow
should the building be consumed by
fire. In view of the inhammablC
condition of the building and the
hopeless inadequacy of the presen
vault we earnestly recommend the
erection of a suitable and fireproo
vault along lines of efficiency anC
safety"

TWO MORE DISCIPLES
OF BARLEYCORN DIG UP.

W. w. Mckinney was locked up in
the city jail yesterday, this being the
third Knockout for Mckinney by
John Barleycorn during the week.
The first time he was fined $40, and
digging up the coin he purchased his
release. The second time he was
given a like fine, but having run out
of coin, was ordered to move on to
Medford or some other hamlet up the
line. He only got as far as the city
limits, however, when he concluded
that he just could not go, and he was
soon making lines of beauty on the
pavement. He was locked up, and
when sufficiently sober to keep going
when once started, will be escorted
hence again.
Tom Booth was also gathered in
by the police, a victim OF John b.,
and was given till Monday to dig up
the balm that soothes the injured
feelings of the police court.

LOCAL TEAM PLAYED
WELL AT ASHLAND.

The baseball game at Ashland Sat
urday was whole lot closer contest
than the score, to o, would indi-
cate, The locals played a good game,
the features being the pitching Of
Garner, who allowed but four hits in
the nine innings, and the work of
Cornell at short. A one-handed stop
of hot one by Cornell was the star
play Of the game.
The Ashland team made three of
its four runs in the fourth inning,
and a passed ball in the nth gave it
the final tally. Four hits were made
by each team and only a single err
ror was credited to each.
Next Saturday the two mines will
meet on the local high school
grounds at three o'clock, and a great
game is promised

$4,000 CAPITAL Is NOW ALL IN
SIGHT.
COMMITTEE TO GLENDALE
Outlook for the Operation Of the New
Institution Is Most Prom
ising.

The committees working for the
Rogue Valley creamery are meeting
with the most encouraging success,
there now being not doubt as to
the outcome of the campaign. All
the $40, 900 capital stock can be sub
scribed at any minute, parties being
ready to take the balance now re-
naming unsubscribed, but that all
who wish to become interested to
the extent of one or more shares
may have the opportunity, the lists
are still open.
The work now being done is along
the line of getting the farmers to
buy cows and be prepared to supply
large volume OF cream at the
earliest possible date. MIX routes
will be established as soon as num-
Der of cows are In sight, and pend
ing the completion of the creamery
here, the cream will be placed with
one of the already established but
ter factories.
A committee from here was at
Glendale and Wolf Creek Monday.
and interest there is keen. A meet
ing has been called at both places
for Saturday, May 3, when arrange
ments for the handling ,f the cream
from that section will be made. Cir
Icular letters recently sent out in that
district shows that large number
of COWS will be available there. The
figures that were sent In on blanks
mailed to the farmers showed that
there were now 307 cows being
MIXED In the Glendale district, but
that the same dalrymen with their
present facilities could handle 1872
COWS, and that eventually they could
build up to a capacity of 1912
COWS.
From figures now available 1t Is
believed that 1000 cows will supply
cream for the new creamery within
short time. Evans creek and the
Rogue River districts are also alive
to the situation, and will accept the
opportunity to put in more dairy
cattle.
A meeting is to be held today be-
| tween the directors Of the Valley

AUGUST SINGLER SHOT BY
YOUNG DESPERATE.
OFFICER ALSO GETS his MAN
Lester Jones, 19-year-old Boy,
Shoots, But in Turn Receives
Fatal Wound.

MEDFORD, April 23.-Sheriff
Singler died this morning at Sacred
Heart hospital as result of duel
in which he killed Lester Jones, an
1S-year-old desperate.
The shooting took place last even
ing in a lonely cabin on the John
Launspach ranch, one mile west of
Jacksonville.
Singler, accompanied by a Launs-
pach boy went to the cabin to arrest
Jones, who was cooking biscuits on
stove in the kitchen when the sheriff
entered. AS the outlaw turned to
reach for revolver on nearby
shelf, Singler ordered him to throw
up his hands, threatening to shoot If
the order was not obeyed. Jones
made a quick movement toward the
gun and Singler fired. The wound
ed outlaw grabbed the gun and with
in an instant a dozen shots were ex-
changed. The Launspach boy ran to
his fathers house and when assist
ance arrived Singler had crowled out
side with one bullet through his liv-
er and one through his hand. He did
not know that he had killed Jones
and warned Launspach that there
was a man hiding behind the stove
in the kitchen. The body of Jones,
riddled by six bullets was found
crumpled behind the stove. Singler
was hurried to Medford and the hos
pital where he died this morning.
Jones was wanted for petty thiev-
cry and for holding up the town mar
shal at Jacksonville a few months
ago when he forced the marshal to
dismount, took away the officers
gun and then chased him through the
brush. For some time he had been
hiding in the hille but was seen last
week on the streets of Medforu.
Singler is survived by a widow
and eight children.
