ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Four Come Near Going Over Ray
Gold Dam in Boat.

Medford, Aug. 19.-What came
near to being a dreadful tragedy
happened at Ray Gold Saturday
when Mrs. Van Ness, her son, Miss
Ruby Burke and w. Caskey came
within fifty feet of going over the
falls at the dam. Mr. Caskey was
rowing when one of the oars was
broken. The broken end was thrown
into the boat and in attempting to
paddle out of the current that was
rapidly drawing them toward the
falls the other paddle dropped from
his hands. At this time they were
only a short distance fro mthe falls
and the rocks below, which would
mean certain death for the entire
party if they should go over.
Mr.. Caskey picked up the broken
paddle and with the help of the other
members of the party that padded
with their hands. they were able to
slowly overcome the current and pull
into shore.

M. |. DICCS CONVICTED
Jury in Diggs Case Out Little Over
Three Hours-Guilty on Four
Counts.

San Francisco, Aug. 2O.-In eTop-
ing with Marsha Warrington from
Sacramento to Reno, Maury Diggs,
former California state architect,
was guilty of violating the Mann act,
which makes it a felony to transport
women for immoral purposes from
one state to another.
This was the verdict tonight of
the jury which tried Diggs. Five
years in federal penitentiary is the
maximum penalty.
There were six counts in the in
dictment and the jury found Diggs
guilty on the first four. Each count
carries a maximum of five years and
a minimum of one year in federal
prison.
Diggs, his wife, father, mother and
three aunts, Mrs. Drew Caminetti
and Mrs. Anthony Caminetti were in
court waiting for the verdict.
Diggs was pale as paper and his
wife showed the tension about her
eyes.
Questions of the foreman clearly
foreshadowing the coming verdict
gave them time to steel themselves
against the coming shock and there
was no demonstration of any sort
when the blow fell The jury was
out little over three hours.
Nine ballots were taken and from
the first the jury was unanimous for
conviction on the first four counts,
but on the fifth, charging the de-
fendant with persuading, advising
and inducing Marsha Warrington to
go to Reno for immoral purposes.
and on the sixth, charging the same
offense regarding Lola Norris, they
disagreed.
Sentence will be pronounced the
week of September 2. Judge Van
Fleet fixed bail at $4,000, which
was furnished by Diggs' father and
uncle. The defense's counsel an
nounced they would appeal.

Edmonton, Alta, Aug. 16.-Three
distinct herds of wild buffalo have
been located west of the Slave river,
on the extreme northern boundary
of Alberta, by party of cruisers
under the direction of A. j. Bell,
government agent at Fort Smith,
sent out by the Dominion forestry
department. Pierre Squirrel, chief
of tribe of northern Indians, who
was guide for the party, estimates
there are fully 200 animals in the
herds. The buffalo resemble the
American bison, from which they de-
scended, but life in the hilly regions
has made them more agile and fleet
er of foot They travel in twos and
threes in the summer, herding to-
gether in the winter for protection
against the timber wolf, their natur-
al enemy. 1t is announced here that
the government will take steps at
once to prevent the determination of
the herds by hunters and further pro-
tect the animals by increasing the
wolf bounty. Harry V. Radford, an
explorer, discovered a herd in the
north two years ago.
