Jury Declares
Death Accident

At a coroner's inquest held at
Gold Hill Wednesday into the death
of Samuel T. Hodges, a pioneer liy-
eryman of Gold Hill, famed for his
knowledge of woodcraft, returned a
verdict of accidental death. The auto
Hodges was driving was struck by an
s. P. train Monday night at Sardine
crossing. The evidence showed that
Hodges view of the approaching
train was obstructed by the covering.
The jury was composed of W. F.
Blackard w. H. Miller, j. NJ Hut
son, G. B. Turner, C. S. Redfield and
NJ. D. Bowers. A citizens board of
inquiry returned the following re-
port:
after hearing the testimony, the
board finds that deceased drove
Ford automobile along the county
road, parallel to the Southern Pacific
track, for a distance of at least
half a mile. Road located just out
side of right-of-way Made an
abrupt turn on crossing when about
Il hundred feet ahead of train. Auto
mobile was struck by pilot of engine,
and Samuel T. Hodges instantly
killed and auto demolished. The ac-
cident caused by driver failing to OBJ
serve ordinary precaution before at
tempting to cross railroad.
View for distance of three
quarters of mile Immediately par
allel the track west of the place un-
obstructed. The county road paral-
lels and Immediately adjoins the
right-of-way for a distance of about
one-eighth of a mile beyond where
the crossing known as the Sardine
road crossing occurs, and it was i'm
possible for the train crew to deter
mine whether or not the automobile
was continuing along the county road
or intended to make the crossing, but
the board finds that they took every
precaution possible to take in the
event that the driver of the automo-
bile intended to make the crossing,
using every effort to give him warn
ing.
"We further find that the train
crew, as soon as it became evident |
that the driver OF the automobile
would cross the track, applied the
power to stop the train"

Why Is a Black
MuStache

Perhaps you have noticed the lit
tie black mustaches which so many
of the young men, not only of this
city but throughout the country, are
affecting. The answer to these mus
taches will be found Tuesday evening
at the Lyric. You who love fun can
not afford to miss it.
Tonight the Lyric Theatre shows
for the last time the wonderful Mu-
tual masterpiece, Captain Macklin,"
which delighted the usual crowd last
evening. The picture is a we'll
staged story of a Central American
revolution with plenty of action and
heart interest. 1t is distinctly worth
seeing.

HOfer Says Ashland
Will be Great City

Colonel Hofer formerly editor of
the Salem Journal, passed through
Ashland Saturday, and while in the
city was taken over the rark here.
Mr.. Hofer was greatly impressed
with the development work here,
saying: you are progressing along
exactly the proper lines, ard con-
tinued work and push will make a
resort city second to none out of Ash
land. Already the work which you
have under way will place Ashland
so far ahead of Shasta Springs,
which we visited yesterday, as to Of
fer no comparison. You have the
scenery, the climate and the natural
environment here, and the mobiliza-
tion of your wonderful mineral wa
ters and the park development which
you are instigating will make Ash
land a Mecca Tor the tourist travel
which yearly visits the coast and
which is constantly increasing" Mr..
Hofer says that through California
he failed to find a mountain grade
which approached the Sskiyou grade
either from a point Of scenic beauty
or as wonderful piece OF road work.
He is returning with his FAMILY to
Salem after an auto trip which ex-
tended to San Diego.

Samuel T. Hodges was born in Sal
Louis Obispo county, California, De
cember II, 1861, and died August 2
1915. In 1856 he came to Oregon
with his parents, residing near Table
Rock, Jackson county. In 1868 the
family returned to California, max.
ing their home at Santa Cruz until
the summer of 1878, when they re.
turned to southern Oregon and for a
number of years occupied a ranch in
the Meadows district.
In 1887 he was married to Isora L.
Gall, the daughter of prominent
pioneer parents. Four children were
born to the union, Albert Lee, Milie,
Hattie and Letsy The son met death
in his tenth year by tragic accident.
During the past eight years Mr..
Hodges and family have made their
home in Gold Hill, where he was SEN
ior member of the firm of Darling G.
Hodges. Previous to his association
with Mr.. Darling he was engaged in
the mercantile business.
He is survived by his wife and
three daughters and by his brothers,
Allen of Eureka, Cal, Marion of
North Bend, Ore, Scott of Stockton,
CAL, and one sister, Mrs. Susan RAIN
ey of Beagle, Ore.
Funeral services were conducted at
the residence Wednesday afternoon,
hundreds OF local and out of town
friends attending. Rev. c. E. Whar-
ton read specially selected passages
from the Bible and delivered the in
vocation. Lloyd and Rex Stratton of
Ashland gave vocal and instrumental
rendering of comforting hymns.
Scores of floral tributes covered the
casket with a profusion of tender
bloom. The remains were taken to
Sans Valley cemetery for interment.
Affectionately known to all south
ern Oregon as Sam" Mr.. Hodges
combined a rare and quiet sense of
humor, which made his pathway
genial one, with strong sense of in
difidual friendship. For his friends,
and they we're many, he would stake
all and venture anything.
Few men know and loved the rug
ged and beautiful wilderness of this
section as he knew and loved it. No
trail so distant or obscure that this
master woodsman could not thread
it as confidently as other men walk
the streets of a village. Throughout
Oregon he was known wherever the
good fellows of the campfire met to
talk OF trails and game and wood lore.
