Pioneer Killed
BY Dynamite

Death by an explosion of dynamite,
which fired the lonely cabin and re-
duced the remains of the victim to
sharred mass, was the fate of Will
liam Laddington, an aged prospector
Of Foots creek, last Tuesday night.
Near the hour of 9 the explosion was
heard by distant neighbors, and the
following morning the grewsome find
was made amaid the ashes of the
cabin.
Coroner A. E. Kellogg left
for the scene of the tragedy early
Wednesday morning, bringing the re-
mains to Gold Hill, where they
were prepared for burial. In his
opinion the explosion of dynamite
kept by the old man in his cabin
caused his death and resulted in the
fire. The limbs were either blown
OF burned from the body, but the
chared torso remaining. The cabin.
which adjoins the Black Channel
mine, was completely destroyed.
Since 1852 Laddington had been a
resident of Foots creek and pursued
Ais calling of prospector. He was So
years of age-the dean of Jackson
county argonauts-and still worked
a claim. Report has it that in earlier
days he made his stake" and subse-
suently squandered 1t. For some
years past he has been receiving as
sistance from the county. He was a
native Kentuckian, but possessed no
known relatives.

cepted by nearly a hundred from

ing was essentially a social one, and
was the first of the series at which
the members of the G. A. h. had
been invited. At noon 200 people sat
down to the banquet in Woodmen's
hail. and the feast prepared left moth
ing to wish for. The hall and the
dining room adjoining had been
beautifully decorated in the national
| colors, while profusion of chrysan-
themums added their beauty to the
: occasion. The only business trans
acted was the initiation of six new
members to the corps, after which the
day was given up to sociability, with
many addresses and music and songs
During the progress of this portion
of the program Comrade Edd F..

unanimous vote of the 200 present

To General Logan w. II. c.
Kind friends and true, here's a greet
ing to you,
From the hearts of the comrades
and sisters in line
For in this beautiful hall, where YOU
fed us all,
We will praise thee just now and
for all future time.
We thank thee for all, and this vote

Comes from the corps and the fast
thinning ranks
OF the boys and the blue-both fad
ing away
Like the shade of the night at the

So here's to Grants Pass and the

From Burnside and Medford and

With a wish to meet all on Rogue

Is the parting am leaving with
you.
At 6 o'c'ock supper was served in
the banquet hall, and the visitors
departed for their homes on special
train chartered for the occasion.

Ashland Has 27
MedfOrd Gets 0

The return game of football be-
tween the Ashland and Medford high
schools today resulted in an over
whelming defeat for the locals, the
visitors winning their game easily by
the score of 81 to 0. The Medford
team was in much better shape for
the contest than at the last meeting
and as result held their opponents
down to smaller score than they
did in the recent game at Ashland.
The game on the whole was inter-
esting and the large crowd of Med
ford rooters saw good game, al
though the result was not quite as
favorable as they might have wished.
On the other hand a small but en-
thusiastic bunch of Ashland support
ers We're in attendance and Loyalty
cheered their team to a very satisfac-
tory victory.
The Medford lineup showed several
changes and with Brown playing
quarterback, Vance in the backfield
and Gray at left end the home team
tried hard for victory, although the
nearest they came to scoring was in
the third quarter when Pelouse
missed field goal through drop
kick by a narrow margin.
The Ashland team was greatly
crippled by the absences of Shinn
and Wallace from the lineup, but
went into the game with the far
famed Ashland spirit and kept up
the record they have already made
this season. Saturdays win makes
the third victory for the Ashland
boys this season and out of five
games they have never met with de-
feat at the hands of an outside team,
the other two games being nonvic-
torious for either side. This team
meets the husky Klamath team
Thanksgiving day for the final and
deciding game for the southern Ore
gon championship on the Ashland
athletic field.
The particular stars for the Med
ford team were Vance and Pelouse,
the former making many good tack
les and the latter winning much
praise for his successful catching of
two long forward passes, the only
decisive gains made by the Medford
aggregation. Pelouse was also we'll
applauded for his brilliant defensive
playing. For Ashland the whole
team played like tigers and there
were many stars in the visitors" line
up, but Delsman's spectacular line
bucking and Spencer's excellent all
around playing were special features
Spencer's playing reached a china,
when he lodged the Medford back
field in the last period after a sue
cessful pass and ran 70 yards for ;
touchdown. Anderson also deserve
special mention for his brilliant of
fensive playing and successful,
caught forward passes. Captain Gar
rett played his usual star game il

many line buck and end run. Ash

thirteen failing.
