SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. Is. -
Beaming with iov over the success OF
her trip to Honolulu. but still glad 10

Josephine Bennett. winner of the
Calls girl wage Garner beauty contest,
returned home on the steamship Siers
"a.
Here are the names of the four men
whom she promptly denied having be-
come engaged to while away:
r. P. Schoen. wealthy young drug
gist of Honolulu.
Duke Kahanamoku, champion swim
mer of the world.
DR.. M. Schultz, the .Sierra's physi-
clan
Captain H. c. Houdlette of the liner
NO, most decidedly, | am not en-.
gagged, she announced before the 81
ezra arrived at the dock. They were
all nice to me, and l. had fine time
but didn't promise to marry anyone. -
Holds the. Dukes Hair.
DR.. Schultz and Schoen were some
what in the lead of the others, accord
ing to admissions she made. !
The duke was all right until
went surf-riding with him at Waikiki
beach, and then he let me fall off the
outrigger. | grabbed his hair and held
on till he yelled for mercy"
Captain Houdlette was also atten-
nice to me, but never could find out
whether he was married" u
Which was the favorite. Mr.. Sehoen
or DR.. Schultz? Well, I would hardly
like to say. Mr.. Schoen is a great big
man and very handsome and he took
me around every day in Honolulu. DIR.
Schultz is very nice, and he is good
looking, too" ...- :
With that she refused to discuss the
matter further, except to say that DR.,
Schultz took the position OF ships doc
tor only temporarily, and might live in
San Francisco from now on, and to
add that Mr. Schoen was coming UP
from the islands in May for trip.
Fame Precedes Her.
ID didn't know a soul on board at
first" said Miss, Bennett, but soon
every one got acquainted, and we had
jolly time every minute" .,
Enter Mr. Sehoen, the next sutton,
when the Sierra arrived at Honolulu.
Benson & Smith, his employers. are
the Hawaiian islands agents for Haas,
and he was delegated therefore to be
her guide He was. It. was every day
that Mr.. Schoen appeared to take her
around in an automobile.
Miss Benefits fame had preceded
her., and everywhere she went people
proceeded to welcome her and point
her out in the street as San Francis
COS beauty. This discussion of her
charms affected her not a BIT. On one
occasion some envious person declar-
ed that she. was really, not so pretty as
she was said to be- Miss Bennett
heard, Of it and said: well, never
said that was. l didn't make the
award"
Out of remarks. of this kind by 9th
ers she got as much enjoyment as any
one.
Hint Shows. FaH0rite. g.
"There were at least fifteen good
looking bachelors In Honolulu who OBJ
jeeted .strenuously to Mr.. Schoen's
monopoliZing all my time. l had three
positions as stenographer offered 10
me, and to cap the climax the Japan
csc boy who took care of my room in
the hotel wanted my picture when I
departed
A final inadvertent remark by Miss
Bennett may be the clew to the real
fayorite THE parting in Honolulu
was much more sad than that on the
steamer" she said.

whole board of supervisors. We would
have the county in a constant tur-
moil with the political pot forever on
the boil.
1.-THE recall proviso shows the. COM
munity to have no confidence in its
elected representatives. 1t reminds
me of certain governor who put men
in office with one hand, and with the
other, it is said, demanded their un-
dated designations.
I'm Galveston, where there is no re-
call, men of such sterling worth were
persuaded to run for office that four
of the commissioners have held that
position for ten years, being reelected
each term. If, however, you must
have the recall, make it at least forty
per cent of the vote for delegate in the
last preceding two years, and not OPP
erative for two years.
The more thought. that Is given to
this phase of commission government
the more one is persuaded that it
ought not to be made too easy. Only
those who voted for an official should
have any voice in his recall. Why
should a mans opponents who did all
in their power to keep him out of Of
flee, have any voice in his recall? In
parliamentary procedure only those
who vote for motion may move to re-
consider. Unless this view is sustain
ed you could have the spectacle of a
petition getting the required number
of signatures, not one of whom voted
for the party concerned.
For heavens sake let US devise
some scheme whereby we can have a
rest from politics."

The trustees of Ashland Lodge No
s44, B. P. o. E., have contracted
with Frank Jordan for the compile
tion of the basement of the Elks
Temple along lines that will convert
it into the spacious and beautiful

big banquet hall, kitchen, store
rooms, hallway, etc. The minor
rooms are already plastered and the
main banquet hall is to be similarly
finished. A pressed steel ceiling is

Lowe Hit by Spent Ball.

D. M. Lowe had very peculiar
experience Tuesday evening while
driving home from town. He was
just passing where the old rock
crusher used to stand when he heard
whirring sound in the air and al
most at the same instant felt a sting
ing sensation on his left knee. I'm
mediately thereafter he heard some
thing drop to the pavement and
upon investigation found it to be a
ball from thirty-two cartridge.
The ball was twisted out of shape
and the nose of it was flattened and
bore the impression of having struck
a rock. Mr. Lowe heard no report
of any gun and thinks that the ball
travelled a great distance from a
high power rifle and struck rock,
afterwards glancing off and just hap
pening to strike him as above relat-
ed. The ball was sufficiently spent
not to go through his clothing but
left a black and blue spot on his
knee and came with sufficient impact
to result in stiffness of the joint
the following day. The ball appar-
emily came from the woods to the
southwest.

Have No Idea Of
Leaving Ashland

In Mondays issue of the Tidings
in referring to the fact that but two
pastors of Ashland had been here a
year it was stated that Mr.. Schwimley
had gone to the nation council and
and inference left that he might be-
transferred from Ashland. Mrs.
Schwimley requests us to state that
the council which he has gone to
attend has nothing whatever to do
with placing pastors, and moreover
that neither Mr.. Schwimley nor her
self has either intention of or desire
to leave Ashland. They are perfect
ly satisfied here and so far as they
know the church is The many
friends of the family as we'll as the
entire congregation of the church
will be glad to know that there is no
possibility of their leaving.

P. S. NeWc0mbe
Passes Away

w. E. Newcombe received the tel
egraphic announcement a few days
ago of the sudden death of his
brother, P. S. Newcombe, at Provo,
Utah. Although separated for many
years, the sad news came with pro-
found shock to Mr.. Newcombe and
his mother, Mrs. NJ. E. Newcombe,
and for which they were not pre-
pared, but particulars of his death
just received indicate that his health
had been failing for several months.
P. S. Newcombe was "a native of Nova
Scotia, but lived in the United States
the greater part of his life. During
the Worlds Fair period he was en-
gagged in the wholesale shoe and slip
per business in Chicago, later remov-
ing to South McAlester, Okla, where
he was for time cashier of the First
National Bank in that city. For the
past eight years he was employed as
a travelling salesman in Colorado,
Wyoming and Utah. for the Carpen
ter-Rice Paper Company of Denver.
Mr.. Newcombe was a Spanish-Ameri-
can war veteran, taking part in the
battle of San Juan hill, and was a
member of troop F, Second regular
U. S. cavalry, which also accompa-
MED General Shafter at the surren-
der of Santiago. His health was
greatly impaired by the hardships
and exposures of the war and as a
result of malirial fever contracted at
that time he has been near deaths
door on several occasions. During
the late conclave of knights Templar
in Denver he suffered from severe
attack and his life was despaired Of.
He was prominent Mason, being a
member of the 32nd degree and a

RECANTED
STATEMENT
JEFF COLESON MADE SECOND
ANTE MORTEM STATEMENT.
SAYS THAT BURNS Was SLAYER
Matter Now in the Hands of the
Grand Jury at Jacksonville
Burns in Jail at the County Seat
-Trainmen Not SuspiciOned.

Jeff Coleson, Coldson, or Coulson
the name seems to be spelled in
various ways-who died Sunday
night as the result of wounds re-
ceived at Talent Saturday night,
made a second ante mortem state
ment just prior to his death. After
o. Hurt to the effect that a brake
man killed him, he was appealed to
by DR.. Swedenburg not to let an in
nocent man be arrested for the crime
and then he made another statement
before Chief Porter to the effect that
he was shot by R. c. Burns, one of
the crowd of hoboes who were put
off the train at Talent. 1t was con-
cluvisely shown by the evidence of
Section Foreman Shideler of Talent,
who was an eyewitness to the crime,
that there was no train within miles
at the time of the shooting. Other
business men and others of Talent
heard the shot and say no train was
near.
The reason of the first statement
was probably a combination of desire
to shield his pal and an exhibition of
the hatred in which trainmen arS
held by hoboes. The Tidings is glad
that there is no longer any possibil-
ity of a suspicion that one of the rail-
way boys was guilty of the deed.
There are frequent reports of hoboes
being attacked and brutally used by
trainmen and this episode is but an
ether evidence that such claims are
almost invariably unfounded.
Miss Susie Arnold found an addi-
tional bit of evidence Wednesday
which may go some ways toward put
ting the moose around Burns neck.
When Burns got obstreperous at the
hospital he was locked in a room by
himself In the room was box in
which were kept the operating
clothes of one of the surgeons. In
cleaning out the box Wednesday Miss
Arnold found several revolver cart
ridges of the same calibre, it is said,
as the bullet found in Coleson and
also as the revolver found at Talent
with one chamber exploded.

Montague Votes Bonds.

At an election held in Montague
on the goth inst. the citizens voted
at a ratio of nine to one to bond
the town for $4,000 for the pur-
pose of building a water system. A
reservoir site has been secured on
the hill northeast of the town, where
a pressure of 140 feet can be had
on the flats below. This move was a
wise one on the part of the voters OF
Montague and it means much for the
Shasta Valley town.

The Grand Jury
Frees COnger

After hearing the testimonies of all
the hunting party of which the Con-
ger brothers were members, and 9TH
er testimony, the grand jury exoner-
ated A. P. Conger of the death of his
brother, declaring that the shooting
was entirely accidental. 1t appeared
from the testimony that Elmer was
wearing a coat the exact color of a
deer and that he was crawling
through the brush in a position that
made him look exactly like one of
these animals.
