Former Marshal
Died Suddenly

Friends of ex-Marshal c. P. Jones
will be grieved to learn of his death
at San Diego July IL. His body was
brought to Ashland for burial and
services were held this afternoon at
2 O'Clock from Dodge's undertaking
parlors. The interment took place
under the auspices of the Masonic
lodge, with their usual burial cere-
monies.
He was a much-honored former cit
izen of Ashland and won many
friends while here. Mrs. l.. E. Coop
er, his daughter, and her husband
accompanied the body to this city.
Mr.. Jones was a member of the
Grand Army veterans and the Odd
Fellows, and three from each organ
ization will act as pallbearers. Many
flowers were brought to the grave OF
the deceased and the ceremonies were
very beautiful and impressive.
Mr.. Jones has led the life of true
pioneer, and the story of his many
narrow escapes and Indian fights is
very thrilling. He was stolen by the
Indians when but child and brought
up in savagery until sixteen, when he
was rescued by the whites and
trained in their ways. He is an old
civil war veteran and was always in
the thickest of the fight. He has
been in the office of police in several
different cities. One of his expert
ences took place in our own city
when he was sandbagged ant
knocked off the bridge across Ash
land creek, lying there all night witt
a broken leg.
Mr.. Jones has lived in the southern
part of California for several years
spending some time in the Soldiers
Home. He was laid by the side o
his wife, who lies buried in the Ash
land cemetery.

Horses Neck Broken
In Runaway

Wednesday evening an accident oc-
Cured which might have proved fatal
to the parties, John Anderson and
Alexander Mcmillan. A result of the
accident, however, was a horse with
broken neck and badly mutilated
surrey. 1t occurred on Oak street
The team driven by John Anderson
became frightened by an automobile
and started down the street, and no
pulling on the reins could stop them.
Mr.. Mcmillan, who was coming up
the street with surrey and load of
ladies, saw the swerving team and
wagon approaching and let the load
get out of his surrey and to the side
of the road to avoid danger while he
attempted to drive his horse across
to the other side, where he could get
out of the way of the onrushing team.
However, before the team reached
him the wagon overturned, and they
broke loose and came on, spurred
ahead to greater things by the new
cause of excitement. Before McMil-
Ian could get across the road the
frenzied team struck the carriage and
horse, killing the horse instantly by
breaking his neck, and smashing the
carriage badly. They kept going on
/ hn
until several hours later, Anderson
who was driving the Sander & Sander
dairy team, was not injured in the
least, the covered wagon protecting
him as it turned over. Almost all
the milk bottles were broken and one
wheel. Mcmillan also escaped unin'
jured, but his surrey was smashed
badly.

Hit by Lightning
Man Escaped Death

Steven Cantrall of Tule Lake un-
derwent a miraculous escape from
death Wednesday evening when a
bolt of lightning passed through his
body and killed a horse standing
nearby. Cantrall was a prominent
sheep man of the Tule Lake country.
According to Sam Evans, in the
Klamath Falls Northwestern, shortly
after dusk Wednesday evening, Can
trail started out horseback to corral
a few stray sheep. At the time
fierce electrical storm was raging
along the base of the Warner range.
AS near as Mr.. Cantrall can recall,
night overlook him about mile
from home. He remembered no more
until daybreak the next morning,
when he found himself dazed and
his horse dead. He staggered home,
more dead than alive, and DR.. Glib
bons of Tule Lake was called to at
tend him.
1t was at first thought his horse
had fallen on him, but an eXamina-
tion proved that he had been
struck by lightning. The bolt went
through his hat just over his fore
head and passed down the nose.
burning off his eyebrows, thence
down his chin and arms into his fin
ger tips, whence it left him. Both
arms and hands were badly burned
in several places and were partially
paralyzed. All the hair was singed
off both arms.
1t is evident that the lightning
passed through his water-soaked
clothing to his finger tips and thence
down the wet bride reins to his
horses head and thence down the
animals body to the ground. The
animals head was crushed to a pulp.
To lie all night in such storm as
visited the Tule Lake section We'd
nesday night was enough to have
killed an ordinary man, and that
Cantrall is alive today is regarded as
a miracle by all his friends.
On the same evening James and
Martin Irwin had a narrow escape
from death by lightning in the lava
beds. They rode under juniper
tree for shelter and when they
thought the shower had abated
they left the tree. They had not got
twenty yards from 1t when it was
struck by lightning.

Local Man Talked
To ChautauquanS

The re-opening of the Southern
Oregon State Normal School was pre-
sented to various audiences during
the Chautauqua. On Friday Mrs.
Howell of Medford was in charge of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union morning meeting and intro
duced ex-District Attorney B. f. Null
key, who was president of the school
before entering upon the practice of
law.
Mr.. Mulkey discussed the school
situation in Oregon intelligently and
urged the matter OF the leading citi-
zens of Jackson county putting up a
campaign fund capable of properly
presenting the merits of the issue to
the people of Oregon before the cleo
tion. His plan of carrying the cam
paign was very plausible and inter-
esting. Mr.. Mulkey mentioned the
names of quite few prominent Med
ford citizens whom he declared would
contribute substantially to any plan
that showed that II comprehended
the situation.
Ben Sheldon conducted the Round
Table on the Normal School issue
Tuesday afternoon and introduced
Prof. Irving e. ,Vining,, Or. ]. M. Gill
4 n
gene, who contributed abundantly
from their rich store of information
on Oregon educational matters and
the needs of the state.
The campaign being conducted by
the Normal School Association" is
progressing steadily and within the
past week has received great encour-
agement.

500 Up For
Medford Day

Medford day was a great success
from all standpoints, and Medford
people have a right to be proud OF
their fine talent that enables them
to put on such a program as was
given this afternoon at Chautauqua.
There were about three hundred ar
rivals up to the time the paper went
to press. 1t was estimated. by some
of the Medford people that there
would be about five hundred visitors
during the day, many of them COM
ing after business hours.
The program itself was worthy OF
a trained musical company. The
violin solos by Carlton James were
superexcellent and much appreciated
Carlton James is one of the finest
yiolinists in southern Oregon. Mrs
Ed Andrews made herself popular
with the audience for her vocal solo
scene from Madam Butterfly" ano
other selections.
The reader, Mrs. G. T. Wilson
gave some fine selections, humorous
and otherwise, and drew an enthusi
astic round of applause from the
hearers. Mr.. Gerard Taillandier
Medford's fine pianist, gave severa
numbers, all of which were marvel'
in musical harmony and technique.
Medford has reason to rejoice tha
they have in their midst such fin'
ability and talent.

Stop! Look! Listen!
For Danger

The railroad company is beginning
to investigate. Since the question of
railway grade crossings has come be-
fore the notice of all talking Pacific
Highway" the railroad has made
many Investigations, of which the fol-
lowing is very interesting and eX-
plains many things:
For one day the railroad company
had man stationed at every cross
ing along the road to keep a record
of all the cars that passed over the
crossings. When all the figures were
brought together it was found that
50 per cent of the drivers of motor
vehicles pay no attention to rail-
road crossing-that is, they neither
look to right or to left to see if a
train is coming; "a per cent of the
drivers of horse-drawn vehicles did
likewise, while 81 per cent of the
pedestrians followed suit.
The following is what the railroad
company has to say about safety and
grade crossings:
stop to look and listen before
passing over railway grade crossings
Refrain from and discourage tres
passing upon railroad property. BE
careful when waiting for trains oil
using the company's facilities
"It is not safe to start over rail-
way crossing without first stopping tc
look and listen. To get on or of
trains while in motion. To stand
near edge of platform when trains
are passing. To cross over ahead o.
an approaching train, or pass closely
behind a train standing. To stant
or walk upon tracks around stations
or elsewhere To allow children t
play around the station, tracks Of
cars.
"In the United States nearly 54 pei
cent of all persons losing their livei
on railway premises are trespassers
II record of recent years maintains
IA people were so killed yesterday
IA people will be killed today and l.
tomorrow. Think of that!
Grade crossings are unavoidable
Without them few railroads coul'
have been built in this country. The
are one of the inconveniences of prog
ress, to be eliminated just as rapid
as practicable. The railroads are dc
ing their best, but 1t takes time and
great deal of money. Meanwhile tn
public demands that trains be run o.
time. To do so involves speed owe
crossings. We appeal to the drive
of every vehicle and every pedestria
before crossing a railroad track t
stop, look, listen"

CaTSOn-Smith
Extend Business

]. N. Dennis has sold his wood
business to the Carson-Smith Lumber
Company, together with the lots fac
ing on East Main formerly used as a
woodward. Mr.. Dennis will devot1
his attention entirely to the grocery
and feed business.
The Carson-Smith company is one
of the most aggressive firms in the
city and is continually extending bus
iness. The location on Main street
will give them an excellent poin'
from which to handle the wood dur
ing the fall and winter months, at
the lumber yards have been extended
to exclude the handling of the wood
from the yards.

Enders Building
Nearing Completion

The new Enders building, COM
posed of four large storerooms, which
is being erected by the side OF his
former structure, is being brought
rapidly to completion.
The building is brick and
concrete structure, built much like
the adjoining, except for the height,
which is but one story. The top will
be fitted up so that it can be used as
roof garden, to be run in connec-
ton with the Columbia Hotel.
The room next to the Enders store
has no future occupant. The one
next to it, however, will be leased
by Mr.. Lowe of California, who will
operate a first-class cafeteria. The
room adjoining this will be occupied
by Abbott e. McDaniels, custom tail
ors, and it will be fitted up to make
one of the most attractive tailoring
parlors in the city. The other room
will be finished in marble and is to
be a sanitary barber shop, operated
by H. o. Butterfield, the well-known
and popular barber. There will be a
waiting and loafing room in the back
and it will be fitted up most attrac-
ticely.
This new building with the new
stores will certainly be quite an addi-
ton to the business showing of our
city.
