few years has put on number of
very successful shows OF this kind,

Mr. Sims is the sole owner of a
large number Of bucking horses, race
horses and other roundup stock, that
he has acquired thru purchase Of
various herds Of Southern Oregon
and Klamath county. In his string
are many buckers that have on diff
ferent occasions made the best buck

staged more thrilling performances
for the benefit of the grand stand.
Along with Mr.. Sims will come
some fifty COW boys. including the
favorites Of last years show, and
many new ones, all anxious to try
for the large cash prizes for the diff
ferent events.
The local management of the show
are congratulating themselves for
having secured Mr.. Sims and his ag-
.gregation of performers, and feel con-
fident, in making the statement that
the public can expect bigger and
better show right here in Ashland
than was ever staged anywhere in
the west.

Woman Takes Life
While Despondent

A frightful tragedy was enacted in
Ashland Sunday evening when Mrs.
Edna Crouch, local taxi-driver, in
a fit of despandency took her own
life at her home on Church street by
shooting herself thru the temple
with a revolver. Death resulted al
most instantly.
The shooting took place at about
$3.50 o'clock Sunday evening, when
Mrs. Crouch came in from her car,
bringing a bag which she placed in
the bathroom, after which she went
upstairs. The family we're assembled
together in the dining room, when
Mrs. Crouch came down, and entered
the bathroom. Shortly after they
were startled by hearing the report
of gun, and fearing tragedy had
been enacted Mr.. Crouch rushed to
the door to find it locked. He then
summoned William Lindsey, who re.
sides next door, and the two men
forced the bathroom door. Mrs.
Crouch was discovered with a bullet
in her brain, and she only breathed
a few times after being found. Later
Investigations revealed a letter which
the unfortunate woman had written.
presumably while she was in her
lchamber, in which she arranged de-
tells for her funeral 1t is thought
by this that the shooting was pre-
meditated, altho no reason for the
rash act is known.
Mrs. Crouch was the wife of Roy
Crouch. an employe Of the Walker
Auto Co. of Medford. The family
came here about year and half
ago from Canada, and Mr.. Crouch
purchased the Ashland garage in
company with Roy Hessenner, but
later sold 1t to Merle Robson. Mrs.
Crouch was in delicate health for
many months after coming here, but
recently she had so far recovered as
to be able to resume her occupation
of taxi-driver which she had followed
previous to coming to Ashland

AIRPLANES 4th OF JULY FEATURE

The air will be full of flying ma
chimes as we'll as the streets full OF
bucking horses, champion riders, au-
tomobile parades, bands and other
prominent entertainment features, II
the plans already inaugurated for
the three-day Fourth of July celebra-
ton carry. Nothing is going to be
left undone to make this the lead
ing, most up to date festival on the
Pacific coast, and when the Ashland
Commercial Club members get their
heads together, there is little left
in the way OF entertainment that they
cannot think of. And what they go
after they generally get.
While Lieutenants French and
Mullineaux of the Aero Club of Ore
gon were in the city Monday they
left an impression without doubt the
department was looking after Ash
londs interests in regard to getting
airplanes to exhibit here during the
Fourth of July celebration. Already
the Commercial Club has taken up
the mstter with .sknator McNary,
who has assured them that he Is
working hard with governmental
heads TO give Ashland fine array OF
flying machines for the celebration,
and the local men are practically as
sured of this feature during the
three days festivities.
AS ONE Of the visiting flying men
remarked Monday Ashland has the
best landing field he has seen in
the state, and II will be prepared for
the flying circus to visit II while
bither going to the Rose Festival in
Portland or returning. This is one
of the finest locations for an exhl-
bition. The tract chosen by the Aero
Club officers lies directly facing Ash
land and the entire field presents an
open view to the city.
This morning the soliciting COM
mittee composed OF Charles RobertS
son, ]. NJ Wagner. A. E. Kinney. W.
"A. Turner. Louis Dodge. Charles
Rose, T. d. LeMasters. w. II. Gowdy
and Frank sankey. started out on
tf4eir campaign to raise "a $4,000
fund to make this coming event the
greatest ever staged in the Rogue
River valley. This fund will be util-
lied in bringing in new and original
features. in providing entertainment
for all classes and ages. and in max
ing Ashland City Beautiful during
the three days festivities.
AS only a little over a month re-
mains until the Fourth, and an i'm
mense amount Of work and arrange
ments will have to be turned out,
Ashland will present bustling hive
of industry during the next weeks,
getting ready fo- the great cesebra-
ton.
