Twelfth street property owners will
meet tonight with the street committee
and officials of the Southern Pacific
railroad to discuss the company's pro,
posed planking of the street between
the rails. The company has explained
that it is impractical to use concrete
between the rails, because engines
weighing 100 tons or more jar it loose,
and it is almost impossible to keep the
street repaired. Some of the property
owners object to the heavy planking.
In an affidavit made yesterday be.
fore Attorney-General Crawford, DR..
Bailey X. Leach, Socialist editor, who
was deported from BandOn by leading
citizens of the town for alleged defama.
tion of the American flag, declares that
he had not DETAINED the flag and in.
sists that he is staunch supporter of
it. He says that he is prepared to mako
fight to the finish and that inasmuch
as the governor has promised him pro.
lection, he will return to Bandon, if he
thinks it necessary, and face the men
who drove him out.
The big gray team belonging to the
spaulding Logging Co., attempted to
muss things up yesterday afternoon by
running around the block, but due to
their unfamiliarity with the territory in
the vicinity of the Southern Pacific
freight depot, they were unable to make
much progress The team, two magnifi.
cent animals, valued at $3.50, were
standing at the intersection of Front
and Ferry street, when they became
frightened and bolted. They hauled a
load of lumber at a good clip around
the corner Of Trade and Front street
and finally ended up their iaunt by
falling down on the switch tracks be.
hind the freight depot. Neither horse
was seriously injured, which was fortu.
nate, owing to their weight and the
rough conditions of the place into
which they ran,
