SERIOUS CHARGE FILED
AGA|NSISOlIDERSHONE
Old Veteran Of Civil War Said
To Have Been Badly
Mistreated.

His body covered with sores and
vermin, W. n. Hoover, an inmate Of
the Oregon Soldiers home at Roseburg,
finally collapsed while endeavoring to
reach the dining room, and not until then
was he given the attention the old man
should have received.
This is the report which comes from
the home under the management OF Com
mandant R. c. Markee. Hoover fought
4 nthe Civil War as member of the 3sd
Wisconsin infantry. He came to the
Oregon Soldiers Home about two years
ago. Thinly clad and in feeble eondi-
tion.s
Commandant Markee gave him room
on the third floor, making it necessary
for him 10 climb the stairs going to and
from his room. 1t is reported that no
effort was made to learn the old sol
dier's condition, and he climbed up and
down the stairs as long as his strength
would permit and finally collapsed Oh
I the mess room floor as he was trying

He was taken to the hospital by q
waitress and there the nurse discovered

SO has been selling them tobacco. He
said he was using the money to buy
postage stamps.
AS the matches are state property pr9
vided for ahe home, he was told not to
require the soldiers to buy them.
Even since Markee was appointed
commandant at the home, which was
soon after Governor Withycombe come
into office, there has been more or less
trouble. Because of trouble he was
making, the state board .ook control Of
the hospital away from him and gave
the physician in charge full control The
board also had to call him on the carpet
