fist fight on the streets here a day

was seriously injured. there being no
damage done beyond few slight
bruises. Mr.. Worrell, who was the
larger of the two, haIl little trouble
in taking care of himself when struck
by young Noell.
!. The trouble grew out of serious
charges made in the columns OF the
Radford Record over the signature OF
Wise Worrell, its editor, seriously re-
flecting on the character of K. J'
Nocll, treasurer of the Radford Nor
NAL School and City Councilman, ard
the assertion by the latter in his an
swer to the attack that the Record
was a trashy, libellous and irreSpon-
sible publication" Following this ref
ference to his paper EdGtor WorreIl
ireplied with a long article, making
conspfrcy charges against Mr.. NOEL

;ly resulted in an encounter between

inesday night, Mr.. Noell denounclng
lit as absolutely false. At the time The
lie was passed. Mr. Worrell asserts
that his opponent had his hand in his
pocket as if on a gun, and thls pre-
vented him from resenting it. How
ever, HE sent Mr.. NOEL letter de-
manding that he meet 9nd fight with

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount Of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment IS de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain IN
results and safer in opera
tomas we'll as reasonable
ih cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two--is highly advisable
from every standpoint, in
Guiding that of economy.

Will APPEAL
TO TAX CASE
Question Of Right to Tax a
Homesteader's Claim to Be
Decided in Upper Court

MONTESANO, July 17.-Deputy
Prosecutor Nelson has filed an appeal
brief in the suit Of Joseph Hausmes.
ser against the county for a refund
of taxes, which was decided against
the county not long ago by Judge
Mason Irwin. This is the case in
which the government issued the
homesteader his receipt years ago,
but did not issue the patent until
this spring-meanwhile contestjng
the right to a homestead. ATTORNEY
Abel won the case for the homestead
er ON the ground - county may not
tax government land, and the land
was not the homesteader's until he
had patent for it, because the con.
test was not settled.
Attorney Nelson is making his ap-
peal on the grounds the law says
lands are taxable as soon as the final
receipt has been issued. The receipt
in this case was issued, and although
there was a contest the receipt was
never cancelled.
Since the case was decided in the
superior court W. H. Abel has pur-
chased the land from Haumesser. The
total taxes due. it is said, amount
to less than 500.

HOSPITAL CORPS
TO Be FORMED
Captain o. A. Austin will
Organize Hospital Corps
for State Militia

A Field Hospital Corps is the --latest
addition proposed to Aberdeen's tw:
efficient companies already in ths
service of the state. This will be
composed of from "a to IS men. II
will be distinct division of the state
militia and will be under the command
Of from three to five officers. The Of
ficers must be physicians. The men
of the Hospital Corps will be selected
on previous experience in military &C.
tivities.
Oregon has an Ambulance corps.
While Washington has for a long time
been supposed to develop Hospital
Corps it has been neglected until DR..
o. R. Austin, Captain of the Medical
Corps of the Washington Guards, took
the matter up with the Adjutant
General of the state. Should the Medi-
cal Corps be enlisted here it will meet
the needs of an entire battalion of
soldiers.
The organization of the Military
Corps will mean nothing new in the
way Of a fighting machine. The
corps utility will come chiefly in time
of warfare when actual necessities
would demand the organization of such
company. The experience that the
men, attached to the Hospital Corps
will gain in each years encampmen:
will make them of valuable service
to the state should actual hostilities
be declared against any nation.
The men selected for the Hospital
Corps will be chiefly of three classes,
physicians, men of considerable know
ledge Of medicine and men having
had previous military training. Ever
man who enters the Corps must have
a sincere interest in the work and
be of the type of men that it willing
to sacrifice something of personal
pleasure for the Militia's welfare.
The Hospital Corps when organic
ed by DR.. o. R. Austin, will be the
first ever mustered in the state. Like
the companies Of infantry and artil-
lery it will attend all the state en-
campments and take part in the mill
tary tactics there performed. The de-
velopment of this new branch in the
state military organization will give
the city a we'll deserved reputation
for energy and military enthusiasm.
