Line Fence Results
In Another Death

f.. S. Waterman of Ashland was
called to Bonner's Ferry Idaho last
Friday by telegram announcing the
murder of his father, man aged
seventy-two years. A. s. Waterman
was shot in a line fence dispute by
Andrew Aldrich, aged siXty-six. The
murderer gave himself up and admit
ted that he shot in fit of rage and
not under necessity in self-defense.
The killing was done at long range
with a thirty-thirty Winchester as
Waterman was working along the dis
puted line fence. The dispute had
been under way for several years. A
survey had been made, but Aldrich
was dissatisfied and refused to accept
it. Aside from his dispute the two
families had always gotten along we'll
and it is stated that the sons of the
two men are still friendly and mutu-
ally afflicted over the sad affair.
E. S. Waterman, VINO came to Ash
land nearly two years ago, was a
wealthy young rancner in North Da-
kota. He has spent his time here
prospecting and developing mines in
Northern California and had only re-
turned from the mines a few days
when he got the telegram. He has
made many friends here who will re-
gret to learn of the sad circumstances
of his parents death.

Governor West. the Oregon National
Guard will hold it's annual encamp-
ment in 1915 at the Panama. Pacific

The California trip has been defi-

the past is taken as an indication that
the trip will be taken as proposed.
