Case Is Dismissed
Against Stranger

On complaint of E. V. Jones, the
local garage man, E. L. Davenport, a
representative of the Land National
Detective Bureau with headquarters
at Omaha, Neb., was arrested and
taken before Judge Glenn Taylor of
Medford Tuesday afternoon, charged
with securing SIS under false pre-
lenses. Mr.. Jones acted upon a let
ter received by the local police de-
partment from the Lang headquar-
ters to the effect that Mr.. Davenport
had been discharged and was secur-
ing funds through form of embez-
element, and should be arrested II he
tried to operate in Ashland.
Mr.. Davenport secured papers from
his trunk at the station which indi-
Gated he was in good standing, and
the case was dismissed by the court
because of insufficient evidence. 1t
seemed to be the general opinion that
the detective bureau was endeavor-
ing to collect money from Davenport
through criminal proceedings, as tele-
grams to the Seattle branch of the
bureau failed to secure any response.

First National Bank
Elects Officers

The First National Bank held its
annual meeting Tuesday forenoon, at
which officers and directors were
elected for the coming year, and
other business transacted. The for
mer officers were reelected as fol-
lows: President E. V. Carter; vice.
president, C. H. Vaupel; cashier, D..
w. Mccoy; assistant cashiers, Clark
Bush and H. c. Emery. The direct
ors for the year 1918 are E, V. Car
ter, George w. Dunn, c. H. Vaupel,
Thomas H. Simpson, o. Winter,
George w. Owen, w. H. McNair, F.
D. Wagner and j. W. Mccoy.
A review of the business given by
the cashier showed the past year to
be the most satisfactory in several
years. The deposits averaged over
100000, which is material in
crease over 1916, and the earnings
have been satisfactory. Appreciation
of the extra service thrown on the
banks force was expressed both by
resolution and in substantial finan-
cial way.

RevertS to State

Title to $3.50 acres out of approxi-
mately $1,000 acres of the so-called
Benson and Hyde lands in Oregon al
legged to have been obtained by fraud
ulent practices was ordered restored
to the state of Oregon by the supreme
court of the United States, according
to a dispatch from Salem. The de-
cision is expected to end long course
of litigation.
The courts finding pertains to six
of seven cases sent up to it from as
many counties of the state. The sew
enth case, involving lands in Klam-
ath county, was not received from
the circuit court in time to be adjudi-
Gated. Lands affected by the decree
are:
One hundred and sixty acres in
Lane; 3,S90.91 acres in Crook; 1850
acres in Jackson; 900 acres in Linn;
1860 acres in Clackamas and 760
acres in Hood River.
Attofney-General Geo. NJ. Brown
fought the cases through on the allie
cation that F. A. Hyde had obtained
the lands fraudulently by having
dummy entrymen obtain claims with
in forest reserves, then exchange
them for lieu lands of the govern
ment, outside the reserves, and turn
these over to Hyde or his associates.

has entered the war and taken up its
part with all its well-known energy
and ability. Already many thousands
of American soldiers are in France.
Warm as is the welcome they received
from the French people, nowhere win
they find more genuine or friend
lier greeting than among the ranks
Of the other great English-speaking
armies"
At the outset of his report General
Haig explains how the general allied
plan of campaign for the year was
settled at conference at French
headquarters in November, 1916.
"The plan," the report says, com
prised a series Of Offensives on all
fronts, so timed as to assist each
other by depriving the enemy of the
power of weakening any of his fronts
to reinforce another"
This plan had to be modified on
wholesale scale from the very start,
owing to variety of unexpected de-
velopments. Notwithstanding these
difficulties, the whole story of the
years work is steady continuation
Of British successes and German set
backs, which give Haig ground for
his optimistic conclusion.

Germans Enter British Posts But
Were Elected by Counter Attack

Bad weather continues to prevail
on most of the major battle fronts,
but nevertheless the heavy artillery
duels are proceeding and at several
points infantry attacks of small pro-
portions have been carried out.
The Germans in one of these ma
neuvers, which apparently was more
in the nature Of raid than an at
tack by large forces, entered the Bri-
ish advanced posts north Of the
Ypres-Staden railway, but later were
forced out by counter-attack.
On the famous st. Mihiel salient
southeast of Verdun, which has been
described as sharp wedge in the
battle line since the early days of the
war, French troops have raided Ger
man positions on a mile front, de-
stroying the positions and returning
to their own line with ITS prisoners
and some machine guns. The Ger
man war office admits the French
success in invading the German posi-
tions, but says the French were eject
ed from them in counter-attack.
In his official report of the cam
paign General Haig pays the follow
ing tribute to the Americans:

Glad to Get Out Of
Land Of Billiards

Prosecuting Attorney George NJ.
Roberts, Mrs. Roberts and the chill
dren returned Wednesday after
spending the holidays with friends
and relatives in Cincinnati, Ohio. Mr..
Roberts expressed great pleasure in
getting back to the Rogue River val
ley, saying that he had had all he
wanted of blizzards and below zero
weather, says the Medford Sun. Their
return trip was delayed by billiards
in the middle west and they barely
escaped the tie-up last Sunday in
Chicago. In the hurry of changing
trains in Portland the Prosecuting
Attorney changed suitcases with one
P. H. O'Brien, who telegraphed him
at Medford to return his bag and he
would forward Mr.. Roberts.

Death Resulted
From Accident

Clyde, the little son of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. j. Murphy, died Wednesday morn
ing at the home of his parents on the
Boulevard after an illness of several
weeks, caused by injuries received
from falling from horse on Thanks
giving day. For a time it was
thought the little lad would recover
from the injuries received, but conf
plications later developed which re-
suited in his death. Besides his par
ents, Clyde is survived by three broth
ers, Carl, Murray and Ray. Funeral
services will be held from the family
residence Friday afternoon at 2
O'Clock, with interment in the Ash
land cemetery.

Attempt to Evade
Law Made Trouble

Fred Martin of San Francisco was
arrested in Ashland Tuesday evening
when he attempted to remove "a
quarts of whiskey which he had
cached in the swamp near the round
house, Martin drifted into Ashland
last Monday night and by his furtive
manner aroused the suspicious of the
local police, who set watch on his
movements. He was caught with the
goods on, when he attempted to leave
Tuesday for Spokane. At a hearing
before Police Judge Winner Wednes-
day morning Martin was fined $65
and costs and sentenced to 60 days
in the county jail Martin paid the
fine and costs, after which the jail
sentence was suspended. The liquor
was held pending the decision of the
district attorney.

ment was reorgapized to an infantry
tattalion it was transferred to the
Ypres salient. Major Edwards, then
"a captain, was wounded for the first
time during the Sanctuary Wood ac-
ton, being shot in the hip. Upon his
return to his regiment it was moved
to the Somme. At Regina trench the
gallant officer was wounded for the
last time and permanently retired
from active service. The price he
paid was the loss of both arms, torn
off by high explosives. He has now
been returned to Canada for duty at
Resthaven Military Convalescent
Hospital. He was recommended for
the military cross in October, 1916,
and received special mention in dis
patches by Sir Douglas Haig.
Captain E. j. Cook, the huge, ire
pressible boy of the party. entered
service with the Western Canadian
Cavalry, enlisting in August, 1914.
Ypres, the Somme and Festubert are
but three of the many engagements
through which he passed. At Festu-
bert, in an assault on German third.
line trenches, Captain Cook stopped
two soft-nosed machine gun bullets,
which entered his right side and
traversed the stomach. Contrary to
all the predictions, he recovered. 1t
was also his fortune to be "gassed'
at the second battle of Ypres. the
full complement of his wounds in
cludes one in the left elbow. Follow
ing recovery from his wounds, Cap
tain Cook served as an instructor in
military training schools in France
and England. He was also provost
marshal in London for some months,
and air raids are by no means novel
ties to him.

Prof. Vining Needed
In klamath Falls

That the people of klamath Falls
appreciated the work ACCOMPLISHED
by Prof. Irving E. Vining when ne
addressed the people of that city in
the interests of the Y. M. C. A. and
Red Cross is evinced by the following
from the Herald:
AS one glances in the windows of
the local Red Cross rooms at the Or
pheus building these days, he sighs
for return of Prof. Irving E. Vining.
"Swayed by the vivid realistic pic
lures Mr.. Vining presented of the
needs for workers in the distressed
sections of the war-devastated re-
gions, the women of this city made a
grand stab at doing something, but
after few days the novelty of the
work wore off and the place was as
deserted as ever, except by the loyal
few who have been ON the job since
the rooms were opened"
