Ashland Boy
Accidentally Killed

Early last Friday morning, August
"a, while riding in a wagon on the
Dead Indian road to Lake of the
Woods, Robert Muller, Jr., son OF
Robert Muller, the proprietor of the
Bon Ton bakery on Fourth street,
was accidentally killed BY the dis
charge of a rifle which he was
holding between his knees. 1t is not
known just how the accident oc-
Cured. The first thing that the boys
companions noticed was the report of
the rifle. Robert uttered a muffled
cry, made a heap and fell to the
ground by the side of the road. BY
the time his companions could reach
him he was dead. The bullet had en-
tered his head through the mouth
and passed upward and out through
the brain. This happened about 1880
in the morning at Summit Prairie,
about fifteen miles from Ashland.
Together with W. F. Pinkerton, an
old man, who was with the boys, and
Robert and George High, two boy
friends, the unfortunate boy was on
his way to Lake of the Woods for
little outing and huckleberry pick
ing. Word was sent to town notify
ing the boys father and Deputy Cor
cner Will M Dodge of the fatal acci-
dent. Will Dodge went to the scene
of the shooting in HIS car and
brought the body in. On the way
back they met Mr.. Muller on the road.
He was prostrated with the shock of
grief which the sad news caused him.
It was about II o'clock when Mr..
Dodge returned with the body
In the afternoon County Coroner
John A. Perl came up from Medford
and he and Will NJ. Dodge took de-
position of the case, deeming regu-
lar inquest unnecessary. Mrs. Null
Ter the mother of the dead boy, was
taken to the undertaker's to see the
remains. Both parents are prostra-
ted with grief, and it was feared it
had affected the fathers health seri-
ously, if not the mothers.
The funeral services were held at
the home on Third street Sunday
morning at $50 o'clock. Interment
was made in the Ashland cemetery.

The auto train" carrying the
members of the Motor Car Dealers
Association Of Oregon, a number of
their wives and other guests reached
Ashland, the southernmost station"
on their trip, starting from Portland
a week ago this morning, on Saturday
forenoon. The pilot car" Velie
car driven by F. N. Nash, manager of
the D. c. Warren Motor Car Com
pany of Portland, in which the Ore
gonian representative, G. w. Ausman,
rode, arrived in Ashland ahead of
the other cars. Mr.. Ausman soon
made their presence known and sug-
gested that the reception committee
drive out to the edge of town to well
come the other members of the party.
A reception committee was quickly
assembled, consisting of Secretary
Frohbach Of the Commercial Club,
Frank Jordan and Fee B. Franklin,
also Of the Commercial Club. Mr..
Nash drove with the committee to the
city limits and awaited the arrival of
the other cars. 1t was not long till
the other cars began to arrive. AS
soon as number of cars had been
met, the party drove on into town
footing their horns to announce their
arrival.
Upon their arrival in town the
party broke up, some going on south
over the Siskiyous to see the famous
Pacific Highway that leads into Cali
fornia-and to enjoy "the delightful
scenery across the line;" others Wis
tied Lithia park and the sulphur
baths, and others spent the time in a
more businesslike way by visiting the
local auto dealers. But all had a fine
tire and were loud in their praise OF
Ashland and her many attractions, in
cluding the California scenery nearby.
At 5 O'Clock the party was taken
to the Helman baths, where they en-.
joyed plunge in the warm sulphur
water as guests of the Ashland Com
mercial Club.
At s o'clock they were rendered a
band concert in Lithia park. lasting
till about o'clock. A large crowd
assembled to enjoy the open air con-
cert in the park and to show their
appreciation of the visit paid our city
by the Portland auto dealers. At 9
O'Clock dance and watermelon feed
was the order of the evening, and
big crowd was soon assembled at the
Bungalow. The dancing lasted till
about 10 O'Clock, when short pro-
gram was rendered which all enjoyed.

emonies and number of the visiting
dealers were called upon for speeches.

Roseburg Mess
Fund Enlarged

The Roseburg Honor Guard girls
have started drive" for the pur-
pose of raising larger mess fund for
the members of the 4th company
from their city who are at present en-
camped at Fort Stevens.
A mess fund is a sum of money
which is subscribed by the merchants
and citizens of city usually once a
month or more every quarter which
they send to their company for the
purpose Of buying extra deIicacies
which are not included in the army
bill of fare. The money is also used
In the purchasing Of boxing gloves.
baseballs, etc. Many of the COM
panies encamped at Fort Stevens
have large mess funds. The 9th COM
pany, from Astoria, has 5000 a month
sent to 1t every month from the mer-
chants of their city, for the purpose
.of buying added food supplies, and it
is nothing unusual to see an auto
truck drive up to the Astoria mess
quarters and unload several freezers
OF ice,cream, boxes Of oranges, cakes.
etc. The Marshfield merchants con-
tribute $400 month as a mess fund
to the Marshfield company.
The Ashland company has no mess
fund. Before leaving the city the
company had fair-slzed fund and
offers from every side from the peo-
pie OF Ashland to send them a good
sized monthly allowance as a mess
fund, but the officers and most of
the men declined the offer and also
donated the mess fund which they
already had to needy institutions for.
the poor about the city. Now they
live on the regulation 40 cents a day
which the government allows for the
feeding Of each man. With this the
men have absolutely nothing but
plain rations, and already the mess
sergeant and cooks Of the company
have managed to save small sum
over what they are allowed by the
government to feed the men.
The benefits Of not having a mess
fund can readily be seen. In the first
place the citizens are not imposed
upon every month to subscribe money
and In this way the needy families
at home can receive their attention.
more effectively The company re-
ceives a higher rating from the hos-
pital because they have no mess fund.
The men from the companies which
have mess funds have a harder time
to receive special attention In the hos+
pital, and the hospital allowance for
each company comes harder to tho
with mess funds because
It Is the opinion among army doctors
that much of their sickness comes
from feeding the men on pastry and
other things that are not included I'M
he army bill of fare. A mess fund
llso causes more or less trouble
lmong the men, as Is shown by N
,lack eye which the mess sergeant OF
certain company now at Fort Stew
ms carried with him for some time
which he received in fight with a
eader of a group of men from his
ompany who thought they were not
.eing fed as well as their mess fund
rovided.

Few Rejected Men
Return Home

OF the twenty men who failed to
pass the physical examinations at
Fort Stevens from the 1st company,
but six of them have returned to Ash
land. They are: Chester McKim-
mey, who returned to take charge or
his sporting goods store; Claude War
rem, who left Immediately to take up a
position in Hit; Guy Wolcott, who is
at present working in the Medford
wholesale grocery store; Kenneth
McWilliams who is now working for
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany in territory outside of Ashland;
P. ]. Amer, who is now doing city
work; John Rigg who is undecided as
to his next course of action but who
might receive a call for action with
the Y. M. C. A. foreign work in which
he enlisted before he came home, and
Leith Abbott, who has enlisted in To-
cal reformation work as city editor
of the Ashland Tidings.
Several of the men who failed re-
NAMED in Portland. Ernest Abbott
is at present visiting relatives in that
city, but he intends to take up posi-
tion there soon. Award Leavitt is
working in the shipyards at st. Johns,
a suburb of Portland. Lester CAL
houn, one Of the Grants Pass men
who enlisted in the local company
and who failed to pass on account Of
his eyes, stayed in Portland, where
he has accepted position with a
large steel-making establishment OF
that city. Delmar Harmon is at pres
ent visiting his old friend, L. T.
Hodge, who is commercial instructor
in the Y. M. C. A. in Portland, but he
expects to return to his home in one
of the middle western states soon.
Warren Rohrer returned to his home
on one of the large orchards in the
vicinity of Medford. Charley Pennis-
ton stayed in Portland, where he has
secured work in one of the large
greenhouses of the Rose City. Wini-
fred Phillips went to Spokane to Sc
cure work there and to visit relatives.
Neil Shinn accepted employment in a
shoe store in The Dalles. Max VIII
kins of Grants Pass returned to his
home in that city. William Thoma-
son returned to his work In the Neil
Creek sawmills south of this city.
Ted Seaman returned to his home in
Talent. G.. Rhodes returned to his
home in Sans valley and R. L. Burdic
returned to his home in Holland, Ore,
for a visit prior to going into some
line of endeavor.
With hardly an exception the men
who failed to pass the examinations
are restless and unsettled. It is much
as one of the men who returned said
recently: "It is not that l care for
the military service so much, but it
is the thought that am not with the
fellows whom I have been with since
childhood and that I am not partici-
pating in their joys and hardships
with them"
While the unaccepted men can go I
into profitable work now, neverthe-
less they are continually reminded Of
the CHEEKY "hellos," the many good |
times and the happy gatherings they
had with their fellows before they
were forced to depart from them. The
fellows who returned home certainly
miss their chums in a way which
could only be realized by one who has
lost very dear friend.
