Will Cripple Co.,
Unless Action Taken

Unless some action is taken by the
city at large to provide for the care
of the families of seven married men
in the 1st company, Coast Artillery,
in case any Of them should be killed
in action, the company will be sadly
crippled by the loss of practically all
of the on-commissioned officers.
Seven non-coms will be discharged
from the company unless some such
provision is made, and the company
men are working hard to arouse SEN
timent which would save the men to
the company. Several married men
have already been discharged and
two sergeants have been sent to the
officers school. Should the dis
charge of all the married men result
the company would be practically
without seasoned leaders in the
ranks. It is figured that assurance
Of $50 a month in case Of the death
of the husband would be sufficient
to keep the men In the guard.

Says Railroad
Changes To Be Few

The following telegram was re-
ceived by Southern Pacific Agent
Kramer this morning:
mo serious inconvenience will be-
occasioned the public by the readiust-
ment Of the railroad service to meet
the needs of the government"
This assurance was telegraphed
from New York by julius Krutt-
schnitt, chairman of the executive
committee of the Southern Pacific
Company and member of the rail-
road war board" The message will
serve to allay apprehension Of the
general public that passenger service
will be radically curtailed Mr..
Kruttschnitt's telegram indicated that
the railroad war board has done noth-
ing other than suggest avenues OF
inquiry and investigation to deter+
mine means to increase transporta-
ton The positive statement has been
made that the board has neither di-
rected nor suggested that the roads
reduce passenger service to the ex-
tent Of wrongly dlscommoding tho
public. So far no reductions in pas
senger service have been made except
in some local and community service,
and this, 1t is pointed out, should not
cause alarm to anyone. The meet
ing of the traffic men in Chicago
June 5 is for the purpose of considers
ing only the elimination of such serv-
ice as constitutes duplication or un-
necessary facilities. At the Southern
Pacific headquarters In San Francisco
II was decided that the needful facili-
ties for travel would always be avail-
able and that no one need have any
worry as to the interference with
summer plans.

Lemery Acquitted
OF Blackmail Charge

]. A. Lemery Of this city was ao-
Quilted on a charge of blackmail by
the circuit court at Jacksonville
Thursday. The charge was filed sew
eral weeks ago by G. o. Van Natta
of Ashland and revolved around let
ters sent by Lemery to Van Natta in
an effort to collect a bill which Van
Natta claimed he did not owe. A
great deal of feeling was aroused
over the case.
Van Natta presented q letter from
the Ashland attorney in which the
latter urged the payment of a bill
amounting to SITS, and also men
toned the fact that the plaintiff had
been accused of stealing a horse col
lar from a Mr.. Thomason, to whom
the original amount was owed. Pros
ecuting Attorney Roberts maintained
this constituted a threat to extort
money, while Attorney H. A. Can
aday. who defended the Ashland at
torney, maintained his client had
merely stated a fact and hoped to
warn Van Natta so he could avoid
trouble.
The jury brought in verdict of
mot guilty" after being out but few
minutes. %

Wolf Kills Deer
Within City Limits

A buck deer was chased down into
the city limits of Ashland, presum-
ably by a timber wolf, got caught in
fence and was killed and partly
eaten by the wolf last night. Resi-
dents in the Winner street neighbor-
hood on the western edge of town
report having seen the wolf once or
twice recently, but so far have been
unable to get shot at t. The deer
came down the hillside at terrific
pace, as shown by the tracks, which
showed him to have been taking
twenty-foot leaps. 1t plunged into a
wire fence and one horn caught,
breaking off. The wolf apparently
made short work of the deer, and af-
ter making a good meal departed.
The carcass has been left as it was
found and a watch will be kept to-
night in hopes that the wolf will re-
turn.
Deer are becoming numerous
around the immediate vicinity Of
Ashland owing to the fact that the
Ashland creek watershed has been
made game preserve. Several deer
are making their home in Lithia park
and are becoming so tame as to visit
the mineral water fountains in the
early morning hours. Deer are seen
in the park daily.
Some of the woodsmen Of the city
scout at the idea that timber wolf
would come into the city, but those
who have seen the big brute are posi-
tive in their statement that it is a
wolf and not big dog. The tracks
seem to bear out their contentious.

Judge Gay Faces
Grave Charge

Charles B. Gay, probation officer
of Jackson county, was arrested
Thursday by Sheriff Jennings at
Medford. The charge for the arrest
was that he had contributed to the
delinquency of a minor. The COM
plainant in the case is Mrs. Johnson,
16 year sold, who as Fern McDaniels
was committed to home for delin-
quent girls in Portland, about year
ago, and taken there by the probation
officer 1t was during this trip that
Mrs. - 4son claims the crime, was
committed.
Owing to the prominence Of the
defendant and his activities in the
juvenile court, the arrest caused con-
siderable sensation. Mr.. Gay stoutly
claims his innocence and says his
arrest is the result of spite work on
the part of the girl, whom he claims
never forgave him for being instru-
mental in her commitment to the
home, and a Mrs. Upton, who is head
of. the Louise Home for Friendless
Girls in Portland. He maintains that
the court of Jackson county formerly
sent all delinquent girls to this home,
whereas the girls are now committed
to other places Of correction, and
that his present predicament was ar
ranged by the officials Of the home
and the girl as a revenge,
Judge Gay has secured the services
of Porter ]. Neff and former Prose-
cutting Attorney E. e. Kelly, and has
entered a plea Of not guilty before
Circuit Judge Calkins. The case will
probably be tried toward the end of
the present term of court.

Annual Musicale
Much Enjoyed

The fifth annual recital occurred
Friday evening at the Congregational
church, in whcih Elizabeth Will
Goodman presented her pupils.
Fairy Bells" by Inez Monroe, was
perfect in memorization. The trio
by Ellaleen Stennett, Guylda Selby
and Esther Patty was well given.
Duet by Clara Will and Inez Monroe
was also memorized and played per-
fectly. The selection by Master Foss
Cramer, just eight years old, prophe-
sled future pianist. don Juan
Minuet," by Mozart, played by Ruth
Holley, was nicely rendered, and the
"Minuet in G." by Clara viii, would
have pleased Beethoven himself. I'll
Trovatore," Verdi, by Mary Jane
Wiley and George Wiley, was we'll
received.
The singing qualities Of the piano
were we'll exhibited in Mabel Trott's
rendition of Romance San Paroles"
and the anvil Chorus" by Loletia
Pierson was splendid in rendition.
Soldiers March" from Faust, Gou-
nod, by Lyle Sans and Mary Norton,
was good in spirit, tempo and style.
June Roses by Marjorie Grisez,
showed good Interpretation. Trio by
Mary Jane Wiley, George Wiley and
Esther Patty reflected credit on
themselves. "The Palms." by Mar
fjorie Grisez and Mrs. Goodman, was
beautiful. Clara VIII and Ruth Hol-
ley interpreted Dvorak's "Humor-
eske" in a very creditable manner.
"Twittering Birds" by Loletia Pier
son, showed splendid execution. Hof-
mann's "Barcarolle," by Loletia Pier
son and Mabel Trott, was as delight
full as ever.
The singing by Ermina Selby ac-
companied by Guylda Selby, also that
by Zelda Monroe, accompanied by
Inez Monroe, were indeed pleasing,
and the Bird Song" by Robley Ellis
accompanied by Sybil Ellis, brought
before the audience a future tenor.
Little Dorothy Grisez, Just four years
old, sang to the audience as if she
were accustomed to such perform
ances.
Probably the most difficult selec-
tion was the "Alpine Horn" by Schir-
ner, played by senior of the high
school class of 191S-Lyle Sans.
The technic, Interpretation, memoriz-
alton and skill in dexterity displayed
by this pupil would have done credit
to a finished artist.
The entire program was memorized
throughout and the closing number
was the difficult "Freischutz, by Won
Weber rendered in a faultless man
ner, true to the spirit of that great
opera, by Clara Will, Sybil Ellis and
Ruth Holley.
