ing to see that the cars in front had
stopped, rammed his car into that of
High School Superintendent Baker.

Two Tragedies On
Southern Pacific

Ex-Chief Atterbury, now railroad
police for the Southern Pacific,
brings the report that Wednesday
night just this side of Davis an extra
military train ran over two men, kill
ing them instantly. 1t is supposed
they thought they were on a side
track, but Just at that point the main
track curves and the train passes over
the track that looks like siding.
The same night, near Red Bluff,
the dining car chef on No, IA cut his
throat from ear to ear, running
through the diner with his windpipe
cut and the blood squirting over
everything. He died before he reach
ed the end of the diner. He was col
ored, anr the cause of the rash act
is not known, as he left no word.

Ashland Defeats
Medford AT to 0

The football game last Saturday at
Medford between Medford high and
Ashland high resulted in score Of
AZ to in favor of Ashland. The
whole team played a rushing, spectac-
ular game throughout and Medford
was simply outclassed, though her
team put up stubborn fight. Arvin
Burnette, "Squatters" Walters and
Dick Shinn starred for Ashland. Dick
making three touchdowns. "Bill"
Allen had the misfortune to badly
bruise his leg, though it was only
fractured, as at first thought. Other
wise the team was not disabled, al
though the field was muddy and Slip
perry. Dicks name is not "Togo," as
the Oregonian Saturday evening re-
ported. and no one had better call
him by that appellation. About sixty
loyal rooters from Ashland attended
despite the disagreeable day.
Ashland plays its next game with
Medford at Ashland on Thanksgiving
day, provided the team beats Grants
Pass in the meantime, about which
Coach King is pretty dubious.

Ashland Fire Alarm
Gains Publicity

That Ashland is rapidly assuming
a prominent place upon the map Is
demonstrated by the following clip
ping which appeared in the Well
spring, the official paper of the
Christian Endeavor Society, pub
lished in Boston:
"The town of Ashland, Ore, boasts
the only fire alarm in the United
States, and perhaps in the world,
which is operated by soda water, or
carbonic-acid gas. Popular Mechan-
les explains that the fire whistle is
blown by gas pumped into the town
from a distant well under heavy
pressure, to make an effervescent
water. A two-inch pipe connects the
gas line with the whistle on top OF
the fire hail. and the compressed gas
is admitted through valve when the
whistle is required"

Butler Case Held
for Grand Jury.

w. E. Butler, the Brownsboro
farmer who was arrested Tuesday Of
last week on the charge Of shooting
and killing Joseph M. Stewart, was
arraigned before Justice Of the Peace
Taylor at Jacksonville Friday and
was held over for the regular session
of the grand jury in February. The
case against Butler rests on purely
circumstantial evidence, as there
were no witnesses to the tragedy.
While the evidence against Butler is
considered damaging by County Pros
ecutor Roberts, the former maintains
his contention that he shot in self
defense.
The funeral of Stewart was held
Friday from Perl's chapel in Medford
at 2:30 p. m. Rev. Paul Bandy of
Central Point conducted the service,
and interment was made in the l. o.
o. f. cemetery of Medford.
Butler is the oldest son Of W. G.
Butler, a pioneer rancher who home
steaded his place four miles north OF
Ashland and adjoining the John s.
Herrin sheep ranch in the sos. The
Butler children we're all born at this
place and it was the family home un-
til about five years ago, when W. G.
Butler traded the 800 acres with
Benton Bowers for a tract Of over
700 acres near Eagle Point, which
Mr.. Butler subdivided among his
children and where the Buffers all
reside.
