Wilson Murder
Trial April 10th

j. S. Wison, former Ashland police
man, who shot and killed a Stockton
bartender several weeks ago in Stock
ton, California, will be tried on April
20. His trial was set for April IA,
but was postponed until the twen-
tieth.
Wilson is held for murder without
bail. According to advices from
Stockton official opinion is that he
will be found guilty of manslaughter
but may be recommended to the
mercy of the court. The killing oc-
Cured under rather queer circum-
stances, Wilson having been elected
from a saloon twice, returning with a
gun the third time and opening fire
on the bartender. Wilson afterward
stated that he remembered nothing
of the affair.
Wilson was at one time a member
of the Ashland police force but about
year ago was dismissed following
a disgraceful attack upon Chief Por-
ter. Wilson was a mining man and
has a wife and child. Some few
weeks previous to the Stockton kill
ing, he was employed as a guard at
the insane asylum at Stockton.

Must Reorganize
To Get on Ballot

The socialist party of the state
must reorganize to place a list of
candidates on the ballot for the next
election, according to an opinion
handed down by Attorney General
Brown in response to an inquiry
from Secretary of State Olcott, says
the Capital Journal Any political
party, under the state law, must poll
vote of not less than 3 per cent of
the total vote cast for congressman in
the district. At the last election the
socialist party cast more than 5 per
cent for congressman in the first dis
trict, in the second district they had
no candidate, and in the third dis
trict polled less than per cent of
the total vote for congress. This
would prohibit the party from put
ting candidates in the field except as
a new party. The attorney general
says the socialists may reorganize
and as a new political party may NOM
mate candidates by circulating petit
tions which contain the required per
cent of signers.

A mOnster mining deal is reported
from Mejford as being closed last
Monday when c. p. Kribs, L. w.
Liljegram of Medford and w. S.
Hayes OF Detroit, Mich, sold their Gin
nabar property near Gold Hill, known
as the King Mountain mine, to. an
eastern syndicate for 100000,
The eastern syndicate was repre-
sented by Colonel j. NJ. Bailey of
Rochester, \. Y, and the operation
of the mine has already been taken
over by W. S. Lashells, a mining en-
gineer employed by the eastern capl-
talists.
The King Mountain property COW
ers $40 acres near Gold Hill and is
probably one of the richest quicksil-
yer properties on the coast, Accord
ing to sthe owners, quicksilver can
now be panned out in a free state
without treatment The Iew owners,
however, will at once install elaborate
equipment, including retorts and fur
naces, cook houses and shacks will
be erected, and 100 men will be put
to work as soon as the machinery is
in place.

Voters Turn Down
Refunding Deal

The voters of Ashland turned down
the proposition to rebond the city to
the extent of s43,5O0 by almost an
eleven to one majority at the special
election held Tuesday. But 402 votes
out of a possible 1000 were cast.
Thirty-four votes favored the pro-
posed deal and 36S voted against it.
The first ward stood IS for and 10S
against, the second ward went for
and 11S against, and the third ward
10 for and 142 against.
The proposition was to rebond the
city, redeem outstanding bonds upon
which the city is paying 6 per cent
and turn the new bonds over to the
Lumberman's Trust Company of
Portland at per cent interest, thus
saving / per cent. The main objec-
tion raised was that possibly by sub
mitting the proposition to the open
bond market still better rate might
be obtained. Another objection was
to stringing the bonds out over ten
years or more when under the pres
ent system they would be paid off in
four. The public generally did not
