Cattle Rustling
Creates Feeling

( A case of considerable interest was
closed in circuit court at klamath
Falls Thursday when a jury came in
after thirty-fi7e minutes deliberation
with a verdict scquitting Will Sims,
o. Chandler end Ivan Ernest Of cat
tie rustling. 1t will be remembered
that in the summer of 1913 an outfit
of broncho busters known as the
s-Chandler Wild West Show"
put on an exhibition In Medford and
tried to get the high school athletic
field for an exhibition in Ashland.
They went into California from here
and few days later Gins and Chand-
Ter and Ernest were arrested on the
charge OF stetling cow. They were
taken back to Klamath county and
the shoEy was broken up. The case
has psince divided the populace of
Northern Klamath county and has al
most developed a feud. Sims and
Chandler and Ernest are homestead
ers. Their accusers are cattlemen-
the principal ones being Jim John
son and R. M. Osborn. The defense
charged that the accused were vic
tins of well-laid plot to convict
them of something they never did.
The hide and head of the COW were
dug up near the cabin of Sims. The
defense argued that they were plant
ed" there for the purpose of convict
ing the accused, and the jury took
that view OF 1t. Grover Neil, for
meily of Ashland, was an important
witness in refut.ng the evidence of
Floyd Drandenburg-a rGncher who
claimed he saw light at the Sims
place In the fall of 1913 while the
wild west outfit was alleged to be in
California. Mr.. Neil and others DEM
onstratcd by experiment that Bran
denburg could not have seen light
there from the point where he
claimed he was standing at the time
The case has engendered much bitter
feeling.

Cold Spell
Causes Trouble

The cold spell in the early morn
ing hours of Tuesday was RESPONSE
BILE for a very troublesome freeze-up
in the gas company's pipes near
Phoenix, thereby causing good deal
of trouble for few of the establish
ments about town, such as the print
ing offices (who depend on gas to
make the wheels go round), hotels,
candy shops, laundry, etc.
The accident was caused through
the allowing of the pressure to drop
so that the water in the pipes settled
to the lowest point and froze, there
by cutting off the supply. This is
the first accident that has happened
to the system for many months.

The lineup:
Tolppt
Ashland

Referee-Lance Briscoe.
The boys game proved a surprise
to both the Ashland spectators and
players. The visiting team proved
to be a husky aggregation and the
team Of midgets which Coach Klum
first sent against them could only
hold them down to two baskets in
the first ten minutes of play. The
regular second team then went in
and was hardly more successful and
towards the end of the first half the
red and white stripes of the first
team made their welcome appearance.
The first lined up with Fraley and
Grise2 at forwards, Harris at Center
and Plymate and Lilly guards. Even
this bunch failed to slow the Talent
boys up to any noticeable extent and
it was we'll into the second half be-
fore the old machine began to work
and the ball started rolling into the
basket with machine-like regularity.
The game ended with the score forty
to twelve in Ashland's favor and the
Talent boys still fighting. The visit
ors lined up with Reynolds and Keith
at the forward positions, Pace at CEN
ter and Bentley and Beeson guards.

MILITARY ARcnERS:
Bows and Arrows Were Used In Battle
Up to a Century Ago.

Bows and Arrows Were Used In Battle
Up to a Century Ago.
We think Of the bow and arrow as
medieval weapons of war abandoned
by the nations OF Europe four or five
centuries ago. The bowmen Of Crecy
are the last Of any prominence in Eng
lish history. Yet 1t is only about 100
years since soldiers fought with bows
and arrows in European wars. and
that, too. on the fields of southern Bel
GUM.
1t was in 1918. when all Europe was
armed against Napoleon. Every one of
the allied nations brought every posi-
BILE resource of men and means to fur
ther this end. Among them was Rus
sia. To the war she sent soldiers from
the newly conquered tribes that dwelt
upon the steppes of Asia Bokharans
and Turkomans and Tartars and other
half savage peoples. Many of these
regiments were armed with bows and
arrows.
Jomini. the military historian. speaks
of a great number OF these that fought
side by side with the Prussians In
eastern Germany and in Belgium. and
he says that these bowmen held their
own against the French infantry.
Their aim, he says. was surprisingly
good. and they could shoot an arrow
with effect almost as far as a musket
ball was effective. but In those days
that was not much more than 100
yards. Exchange.

WHEAT MOVING SLOWLY
IN THE NORTHWEST
(By United PresS)

GRAND FORKS, N. d., Nov. a.
Although the wheat crop throughout
the northwest is the biggest in years,
railroad men claim today that the
movement is SO per cent below nor
NAL This they attribute to the high
price of grain and war, which they
say, have influenced farmers to hold
the grain for higher prices. An un-
usually open fall has allowed much
fall blowing and this, too, contributed
to the slow movement of grain. With
the coming of real cold, when roads
will be frozen and fall blowing delay
ed, a heavier movement of grain is
expected.

SHORT NOTES RELATING
TO TILE WORLDS FORESTS

Although there wer can unusual
number of forest fires on the national
forests of Oregon and Washington
this year, the loss of merchantable
timber has been relatively small.
The propellers of aeroplanes such
as are used in the present European
war may be made of selected ash,
which is both strong and light and will
not split under vibration or shock, or
of built-up layers of spruce with ma
hogany centers. The framework of
the machines, too, is generally made
of wood, spruce being much used on
account of its straight grain and
freedom from hidden defects
A surprisingly large number of sub
stances, ranging all the way from the
condensed fumes of smelters to the
SKINNED milk of creameries, have been
tried or suggested as means of pre-
serving wood from decay. Most of
them, however, have been found 10
have little or no value for the purpose.
Certain forms of coal-tar creosotc and
zine chloride are the most widely used
wood presentations.
1t is said that the German invaders
of Belgium, whatever else they NAV
have destroyed, have been careful
not to injure park trees. The caval-
rymen, so report goes, are forbidden
to tie their horses to trees for fear
that the animals will gnaw the bark.

CHRISTMAS SHIP
SAILS FOR EUROPE
(By United Press.)

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Wtih all
the vessels whistling a deep throated
farewell, the U. 8. s. Jason steamed
out today on its mission of gladness to
the million or more children whose
fathers have been killed in the Euro
pean war. Every nook and crevice in
the hold of the collier was filed with
Christmas presents contributed by
Americans from all parts of his
country.
Every ship along the river front
and in the upper bay displayed flags
of all nations-warring and neutral
and every conceivable spot to which
bunting could be attached was blaze
OF color. The windows of the big
skyscrapers were crowded with spec
tators to get glimse of the Jason.
The open places on the river front at
the Battery, and the docks were jam
med with citizens who waved greet
ings.
The departure of the Jason recalled
TO mind the history of one of the
most impressive movements fostered
by American railroads and the Red
Cross society.
The first mention of the project
two months ago gripped the hearts of
people everywhere. Letters came pour
ing into the newspapers throughout
the country Offering aid of all kinds.
Railroads offered free transportation
of the gifts to New York Societies
offered to cooperate with the Red
Cross organization in seeing that the
presents for the kidies were care
fully packed. The high point of in
terest was reached when Secretary of
the Navy Josephus Daniels volunteer
ed to act as the national Santa Claus
by offering the use of the new collier
Jason as "sea sleigh to carry the
of the Aemrican people
across the ocean.
Carefully groomed for her voyage
at Portsouth, Va, the Jason presented
an attractive and efficient appearance
as she left today. The cargo was put
or board at Pier l at the Battery-the
pier donated for the purpose by
steamboat line and willing hands
made the task an easy one.
When the Jason arrives on the 9th
er side the toys, the dolls, the cloth
ing, the food, the candies and all the
various items Of the shipment will be
by the Red Cross society
Throughout the war zone.
