Gold Hill Has no Mayor Now.

Gold Hill is now mayorless follow
ing the rendering of a decision by
Judge Calkins in the quo warranto
case brought before him recently.
The judge held that the new charter
of Gold Hill is invalid and hence
Mayor Kelsey and the councilmen
elected under it cannot hold office.
1t was believed that if Kelsey and
the councilmen were ousted the pre-
vious mayor and members of the for
mer council would return automatic
ally to their places, but such, in the
opinion of local attorneys, is not the
case. So Gold Hill is mayorless.
The charter shown to be invalid by
Judge Calkins was supposedly adopt
ed at an election held November 20,
1911, and under it's provisions the
present council and mayor were
elected. The case will be appealed to
the supreme court.

The Nashville Students.

Manager Richardson of the Dream
land again showed his ability to fur
nish the public with first-class enter
tainments by giving them an oppor-
tunity to hear the Nashville Students
Thursday evening last.
This organization puts on good
minstrel show, an had several very
expert and amusing dancers. One of
the remarkable features of the enter
tainment was the hoop juggler. AS
a manipulation of hoops he was cer-
tainly hard to beat, making a hoop
jump from the floor to cords run
across the stage, making it jump sue
cessively to four different strings,
and then roll down the last and over
his shoulder. He also stood on one
foot and had hoop whirling
around the other leg, one around his
neck and one around each arm.

CAN'T GET DAMAGES
Jeweler Who Sold Store Because
Doctor Said He Would Die
Fails in Suit.

Because William Goldblatt did not
die was no fault of his physician,
Dr. George Rohrer, is the verdict re-
turned by a jury in the superior
court of Spokane county, Washing
ton. in which, contrary to appear
ances, the result is entirely in favor
of the doctor.
Goldblatt brought suit against DR..
Rohrer for SIS, ,000 damages. He re-
cited that he had a prosperous jew
elry business in Spokane, until one
day the physician told him, he said,
that cancer of the stomach was sure
to finish him.
Thereupon he lost all interest in
worldly things, due to which he sold
his profitable iewelry business and
mundane. Instead of dying he got
well, and promptly brought suit for
loss of money on account OF selling
his business, and for mental anguish
caused by fear os death.
Attorneys for the physician ridi-
culed the statement that Goldblatt
had closed out his business on ac-
count of any diagnosis made by DR.
Rohrer They also introduced evil
dence to show that Goldblatt had an
nounced his intention of disposing of
the store before ne thought the hand
of Death was poised in his vicinity.
Turning from the purely material
to the medical aspect of the case, the
doctor denied any intent of soaring
the patient. He said that cancer of
the stomach was a durable disease if
proper treatment were given and if
operations were performed in the
first stages of the disease.
The jury decided that the ply
sician was not responsible for Gold
blatt's error of judgment in selling
his store, and Rohrer will not have
to pay the SIS, 900 asked. The case
has excited unusual interest among
| lawyers and doctors.

INDIANS TO CELEBRATE
Indians Will Mark Wilson's Inaugu-
ration by Five Days Festival
at TOppenish.

Woodrow Wilosn would cancel
some of the plans made to celebrate
his inauguration Nv Indian tribes of
the Columbia and Yakima valleys,
but he has nothing to do with it.
There a great many of the Indians
are disappointed because they will be
unable to join the delegation Of red
men at the inaugural ceremony in
Washington. So they are going to
have one of their own and it will last
five days.
While the big chief from New Jer-
sey will not be present, the Indians
will have a real celebrity of their
own. He is Chief Stwire Waters,
grand chief of the Brotherhood OF
North American Indians. The cele-
bration to mark the accession of Mr..
Wilson will be held at the ranch of
Chief Waters, near Toppenish, Wash,
Starting on the morning of March /,
it will continue until midnight of
March 5.
At the hour set for the Wilson in
augural several thousand Indians, all
in war regalia, will parade the
streets of ToppenislG Squaws will
accompany their braves.
Several floats will feature the pa
rade. One will portray the redmen
on their last warpath, with the ballot
as their weapon. Another will carry
a number of Indian tepees, with the
cooking fire which the ancient peo-
pie used"
Three huge steers will be barbe-
cued for a big feast, to which the
palefaces of the surrounding country
will be invited. Other features will
be contests of athletic skill, broncho
busting and pony races.
Tribes in all parts of the Pacific
northwest will be represented at the
ceremonies in Toppenish. A number
of Indians from this district also will
be in Washington during the inaugu-
ration.

STRIKE TO BE AvERTED.
Local Telephone Men Get Word That
Company and Men Agree.

Word was received by the local
linemen and other plant employees of
the Pacific Telegraph & Telephone
Company that at recent conference
between the leaders of the union and
the officers of the company conces-
sions were made by the latter which
practically avert all danger OF tie
strike. Another meeting is in prog
ress today to close up the details of
the affair.
This is good news not only to the
plant employees of the company in
Ashland, but to the citizens at large,
as strike would have meant that
the possibility of increased and pro-
longed line trouble would ensue. The
girls are in the traffic department
and were not affected by the pro-
posed strike in the least.

MILLINERY CAUSES FUSS
Dnhan Stock Causes Arrest of Trus-
tee and Threats of Counter
Arrest for Contempt.

Medford Sun: Warning that they
would be held for contempt OF court
unless they relented from their posi-
tion in arresting William Ulrich,
trustee in bankruptcy, for the alleged
violation of city ordinance, in hold
ing an auction sale, was served upon
city officials Friday by Attorney
Frank ]. Newman, referee in bank
ruptcy, as an aftermath of the sale
of goods belonging to Joseph Dilhan
of Ashland, in the building at the
corner of Sixth and Central avenues
Late in the day, William Ulrich
served a restraining order upon city
officials, to forestall further inter
ference.
According to Attorney Newman,
the city ordinance regulating auc-
tions in this particular case conflicts
with the federal laws governing
bankrupt sales, and that when Mr..
Ulrich was arrested the city inter
fered with an officer of the United
States, laying themselves liable to
contempt of court.
Ulrich was arrested upon the
charge of conducting an auction with
out license, as defined in an ordi-
nance passed by the city council a
year ago. 1t was intended to protect
home merchants from outside deal
ers. Mr.. Ulrich said that he was not
conducting an auction sale, unless he
failed to dispose of the goods
through sale, and that his interest
in the matter was only as an officer
of the court.
The trial was set for this morning
in the mayors court. Ulrich was ar
rested by Chief of Police Hittson.

ROAD TAX LEVIED.
Contrary TO Word Sent Here, County
Court Made Levy.

II has just been learned in Ash
land that the levy OF a county road
tax on the property of the city of
Ashland has been carried out by the
county court despite the fact that it
is believed to be contrary to law and
that word was received which was
apparently authentic, that this had
not been done. Whether or not this
word was sent out with the intention
OF misleading the people of Ashland
with a false sense of security in the
belief that the tax had not been lev
led, that is the effect which the re-
port had. Had it not been for that
belief there would have been an in
junction filed against the carrying
out5of the levy.

missed Friday morning. Mr.. Town
send has settled the claims Of Mr..

they were just or enforceable, but
because he and his wife desired to

his sanity, and was found to be sane.
Thus ends u complication which has
