Mr.. Lloyd going east for time, and
upon his return he found the young
lady married to another man.
A few years later he married also

Accident Narrowly Averted-

An appalling accident was mar
rowly averted Sunday afternoon
when three automobiles met near
Hells Gate on a narrow grade over
looking Rogue river. Sam Williams
and Alfred Letcher in their automo-
biles were returning from Galice. Mr..
Williams was ahead, and in rounding
a point espied Commissioner G. l..
Barlow coming down the grade. He
turned out against the bank to allow
Mr.. Barlow to pass. Mr.. Letcher,
thinking that Williams had turned
out for him to pass, went full speed
ahead and head-on collision was in
sight. Barlow applied the brakes
and put on the emergency, but was
unable to stop and turned out to
clear the two machines. He and two
companions in the car gave a leap
and landed in the road. The car
struck tree and started to pitch
over the bank and into the river, but
hung on a balance at the verge of
the precipice, Everyone was badly
frightened, but no one was hurt, and
when Mr.. Barlow's little Brush car
was pulled back into the road he con-
tinued his Journey toward home.

GAME OF c. o. ID. GETS
YOUTH INTO TROUBLE

An alleged dealer in gold bricks
walked squarely into the hands 'of
Sleuth McLane Saturday afternoon,
and was taken into custody, green
banded hat and all, and held in the
city bastile to await the order OF the
sheriff of Jackson county, where he
was wanted for having worked bunco
games on hotel men in Ashland and
Medford. '
Hammond or Ash, which were
names used by the man, dapper
appearing fellow of about 80 years
of age, had a novel scheme which he
used to produce easy money from
hotel keepers who fell" for his
game. He would find the name of
some guest of the hotel who was not
at the immediate moment in the
hotel, and would call up the hotel
from some outside phone, represent
ing himself to be the guest, and
would state that he expected COD.
to be delivered at the hotel for him,
and asked that the hotel settle for 1t
and charge It to his account, when
he would settle on returning to the
hostelry A little later a confeder-
ate would appear at the hotel with
the package, make the collection and
disappear. The hotel would be long
one valueless package and short in
It's cash account. This game was
worked with profit in both Ashland
and Medford.
The Grants Pass police department
was notified to be on the watch for
the man, and Chief McLane set out
on still hunt for him Saturday af-
ternoon. The chief was standing in
the Smith cigar store within a few
feet of the telephone when a young
man called up the Josephine hotel,
and representing himself to be "Mr.
Ash said a package would arrive
during his absence and asked that
the hotel pay the G, o. D. charges
as an accommodation, and that he
would settle later. That was as far
as the game went In Grants Pass,
for Mac told the stranger that he had
a package for him himself, and he
gave him a suite at the Hotel de Mac
Lane, where no c. o. D. packages
ever get past.
The messenger who assisted In the
game at Medford is said 70 have been
arrested there. II Is believed that
confederate was in on the deal here,
but he has not been found, and the
package failed to arrive at the hotel
on schedule time.
