BY STRIKING MATCH

According to Mrs. Anna Rouse,
mother of Belle Viola Rouse who
met her death Thursday. July 8, By
fire at her home on Fifth street, the
accident was not caused by a lamp
being overturned as was first sup
posed, but was due to the little child
striking a match and In some man
ner setting fire to her clothing. The
little girl was conscious before she
died and made this statement to her
mother.
The first person to observe the
fire was Mrs ]. P. Wolf, who re-
sides near the Rouse residence. and
who saw the blaze and heard the
screams OF the child. Mrs. Wolf ran
to the house and on entering saw the
little girl standing at the head of
the stairs with her clothing on fire.
With great presence of mind Mrs.
Wolf rushed upstairs and wrapped
the little girl in a woolen shawl and
carried her down and out of the
burning building.
After being taken to the hospital
Belle stated that she had come home
from the park and had entered her
mothers bedroom to see IL the lat
ter was present. In order to avoid
waking her mother in case she was
asleep the little girl struck a match,
there being no lamp in the room. 81
don't know how my clothes got on
fire." she said, but it is presumed
that portion of the burning match
fell on the little girls gown, which
was ignited that way.
II can never repay Mrs Wolf for
what she did for my little GIRL" the
grief-strlcken mother remarked "But
for her little Belle would have beer
burned without our ever knowing
how it occurred" After rescui- 6
the child Mrs. Wolf gave the alarm
that brought the men who extin-
guished the fire in the house.

Stolen Auto Left
On Liberty Street

A fine big Cadillac touring car
was abandoned on Liberty street
last Friday night at the home Of Z.
X. Hall by three men, who had evil
IDENTIFY stolen II and were trying to
make their escape into California.
The car was found to belong TO p
A. Bounds, banker in Yakima,
Wash, and had been stolen a short
time ago.
About II o'clock Friday night. ac-
cording to the Medford police, three
men in this car arrived in Medford
and inquired of the night policeman
where they could procure gas. After
they were directed to garage. the
policeman's suspicious we're aroused,
and stepping into the station they
looked up the number on the strange
car in the state. auto license hook
and found that 1t belonged to a car
of a different make in Salem This
seemed to confirm their suspicious,
and on going out to the men they
found that the latter had pulled out
for Ashland.
Chief Hatcher OF this city was
notified that the car was headed
this way and TO look out for II, while
the deputy sheriff secured car and
started in pursuit. Arriving In Ash
land the deputy caught up with the
strangers on the Plaza. and called
to them to stop. but the latter speed
ed up and by taking a circuitous
route managed to evade their pur-
suers.
E. X. Hall, who lives on Liberty
street. was aroused by the inmates
of this car, at late hour, who asked
II that street was. the highway On
being told II was not the men stated
that they would leave the car there
for the night. and then disappeared.
Saturday morning, Mr.. Hall tele-
phoned to Chief Hatcher about the
car being left there, as no one came
to claim 1t. The latter and Charles
Lindsey went cut and drove 1t down
town, and notified Medford police Of
its being found, They in turn had
learned of the Cadillac belopging to
Mr.. Bounds being stolen, and on in-
vestigation 1t was discovered that
this car was the missing one.
1t is supposed that the men in
order to make an escape had taken
up Liberty street with the idea that
it led directly over the Siskiyous.
On arriving at the end of the street
they learned their mistake and were
afraid to go on over the highway as
they probably feared their pursuers
had got ahead of them and we're
awaiting their coming. No further
trace of the auto thieves has been
found.

TOLL ON MURMAN COAST
(By Associated Press.l

Archangel, Jan. 24.-The Murman
coast, the Kola peninsula and the en-
tire district OF the White Sea coast
have suffered heavily from the in
fiuenza. In the regions Of Omega and
KEN, the population of entire villages
and counties are i'll with the disease.
Along the shore of the White Sea there
are only three or four sanitary or dis
pensary points and in many cases
those are without medicines.
In the county of Nimensk there arc
houses where the entire family has
died and the houses are empty and
closed. The peasants are burying
their dead without coffins, no one be-
ing available to make them. A writer
in the Archangel newspaper says.
"The streets of the villages OF the
geacoast make an awful impression
Everybody is i'll. Children are cryinG
and the cattle are lowing terribly, no
body being there to feed them.
Archangel also has suffered consid
erably from the epidemic. There were
at one time two thousand cases there

CURE FOR SLEEPLESSNESS
(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 24.--A woman in a
London paper says she has found a
cure for sleeplessness. She calls 1t
"Ay-zed," because it has to do with
the letters of the alphabet. The title
may puzzle Americans that are not
aware that "ay" is the sound Cock,
ney gives to the first letter Of the al
phabet, and that "zed" Is how the
English pronounce ~" Here " the
scheme:
Tonight, say, you are wakeful. Re
view your friends: How many men or
women you have known or do you
knw, whose Christian name begins
with A? prescribe Christian names
because they are more lovable, and
listable, than surnames. You will find
that it Is like what we are told OF
drowning-all your life will pass be-
fore you in a vision till you sinh
blissfully beneath the waves Of sleep
before one letter Is disposed Of"

(st. Petersburg independently


Though no complaint has been
made to the police Of this city, the
fact exists that winter visitor from
Iowa has been defrauded out OF $lo'
600 by confidence men making their
headquarters in st. Petersburg The
actual operation by which the Iowa
man was separated from his money
was performed in Tampa, but the
plans we're all laid in st. Petersburg
and the victim was hooked here. the
visitors who is said to be worth $75'
OO0 gave his note, payable at any
hank, for $4,000 and 1t was little
trouble for the crooks who got the
note to convert it into cash.
According to the story told py
friends of the Iowa man, the conn
dence gang got him in their clutches
and took him to Tampa where they
unfolded the usual scheme OF making
a large sum of money by betting on
a horse race. The man was persuad-
ed to put up his note for $lO,Ooo ana
was assured that he would double his
money in few days. When he was
met in Tampa by friends who were
irving to protect him, the victim Oh
the swindlers was still under their III
1uence and declined positively to re-
turn TO st. Petersburg and declared
he had given his note for $4,000 ana
would earn that much more.
Confidence men are still in st. re-
tersburg though they are not operat-
ing as boldly as they did here last
winter Efforts to round them up
seem to be unavailing and there Is
talk of action by the citizens here to
rid of the city of these undesirable
visitors and put them out to stay
How many visitors here this winter
have been defrauded is not known
Int Il is said that several men have
lost considerable sums of money TO
the sharpers. In the main tne men
who are defrauded are reluctant 10
talk and it is not often that they make
compIaint to the police. The police
said today that they had heard ru'
mors that a man from Iowa had been
defrauded, but they were unable to
get any definite information regard
ing the case. They said they could
