'According to several witnesses Bax ter made threats In their hearing to kltl her If alio did not marry him. MIhs Sharp testified her own behalf, other witnesses being O. V. Myers, A. L. Cuslck. Charles Cuslck and K. n. Creecy. " Baxter ts said to have threatened every member of tho Sharp family except Charles Sharp, and claims to have had an engagement with the young lady In question.

THREE GREAT FLIGHTS , MADE OVER VALLEY (Continued from paps 1.) oiled silk stepped the littlo man dress-i-d in unnretcntioirc citizens clothing. Without n word he tested n wire and examined the engine. Thenjris mecli nnic gave the propeller n wliirl. Ely stepped to-his seat. The always re liablo eight cylinder engine begun to lhlm and bark as n .machine gun. Off down the field lie went, and then, inside of 80 feet, he was in the nir while the crowd stood too interested td cheer, looking on with breathless suspense. People had expected to nee n- number of false starts but Ely laughs nt such u grandstand play. He knows what he is going to do nnd does it, trusting his machine, as n fanner trusts his plow horse. ' Flight Superb. Then followed the flight nnfi the crowd followed the aviator as he sailed ijfjout the field for nine min utes at an average height of 000 feet. At last Ely circled nearer to the ground and with n long graceful glide, landed, lightly, ensily and before any ono realized it. Then the silence which, had prevailed was broken while 'the crowd clieercd lustily hud ailto horns honked out their con gratulations. . This first exhibition was given , simply to test tho machine. Latei after the crowd had gathered Ely went y for a. 12 minute flight at about 1000 feet altitude. He gave an exhibition of the famous spiral glide which sent Johnstone and Hoxie to their deaths and in returning scooped down over the heads of the crowd only to shoot skywards again when lie had them running for sufetj'. His descent this time was a little har der (hiin the first as tho wind which ho counted ou riding down went out from under him. Circles Stall Tribune. The third flight wns a perfect one and during this he attained an alti tude of 2000 feet. lie came invn town over tho heads of the people hud circled the Jfnil Tribune building returning to tho field in very fast time. At times while running with the wind he attained a speed estimat ed by himself to be 00 miles an hom Each flight was perfect and the crowd certainly got their money's Worth. The person who does not witness tho btarting nnd Inntling of nil nero plnnu misses all tho thrills of tho fly ing game. To kco tho aviator and his big machine fur aloft is entertaining and diverting. Hut to see him leave tho ground, or come back to enrlh, is to witness the reul demonstration of skill. ' As tho machine leaves the earth, tho whirring of tho propcllorH, tho fierce bark of tho engine exhausts, tho approving cheers of tho people mingle in a pleasing and exciting kodlnui. Tho upward graceful glide of tho whitowinged canvas bird is beauti ful to behold. It is a sight one novel Will forget. Tho descent is mndo by a succes sion of dips and balances, each op eration bringing tho machine nearer tho earth as though it wcie coming 1uwu a lingo aerial stairway. At lust it is within a foot of tho ground. It skims along with the grace of it fcen gull, until at length, it lights and oniuoK to ii stop. One almost ex pects to see it fold its wings. When it wns all over nnd tho hero of tho day stepped fotth frolu his aeut in tho aetoplauo the first to i'o- Kfforts are being made by local parties to sccuro for Med ford the annual agricultural fair hold every autumn In either, Ashlnnd, OranU Pass or Medford. Josephine and Jackson counties oro represented In this fair each year and an Josephine county secured tho attraction last year, Medford Is rightly entitled to It this year. r'uuds aro appropriated yearly for the support of this fair and prizes are offered for tho best apples, pears nnd other agricultural products. There Is a possibility of the agri cultural fair and the much heralded county fair being combined and In that case the united attractions of both will Inmiro another prominent event for this city. A separate appropriation will have to be made, to promote horse racing, ball games, etc, but there should be little difficulty In this .matter. ceive him wns the devoted young wife. She greeted him as though he had just returned from a journey afar. The face that had at first seemed lo show apprehension and then the plac id purpose of the workman now took on n hew expression and the satis faction and joy of the aviator was nll-apparaiit. It was n wicked wind that snap ped intermittently across .the field, as the intrepid mnn-binl whispered n word in the ear of his wife nnd then strode neross the aviution field to where his charger stood, which wits to carry him into the demesne of the birds. While the wind wns not as bad as it hns been on many ocea-ions when Ely hns taken the air it was too heavy for him to allow his wife to accom pany him aloft as he had promised her. , His mechanic rigged a seat early in the day. He also wanted to sour but Ely would not give his consent. But in spite of this, when the time for action arrived,, serenity had crept into Ely's countenance. Drawn feat1 Ures relaxed. The dare devil prince of the air was ready for his battle with the elements. Ely struck the ''holes in the air" which are the terror of every man in the game. It was necessary for him to seek the higher levels and that i ,why lie crept up to the 1000 foot height. There was always, n jkis sibility of a 500 foot drop. To the on looker it appeared that Ely was holding his craft stendy, but nt that there were many minor dips -which could not ho seen from below. "It is a rough road up there today" was his only comment. A large number of people toddy will descant enthiihiasticaly over Ely's flight of yesterday the while they jingle their dollars in their pock ets. Few will criticize tho man or wo mnn of small means who "bent the game," not being nble to nfford the dollar admission. The great major ity of those, however, who did beat it were able to pay. The opportunity to be dishonest in a small, cheap, wny was too much for them. The men who put up their money to secure this at traction deserved bolter treatment. Mrs. Ely wns tho most enthusiastic aviation fan on the field. She is intensely proud of her boy of u hus hnud who lias mado the world sit up nnd take notice. She is n petite, littlo brunclto with big, black eyes and takes a serious interest in all of her hushnnd's flights and the futr uro of the aeroplane as n useful commodity. She expressed great re gret yesterday when her husband re fined to take hor aloft with him. "Why not, hoy?" she plead. "It is too rough it will euro you to dea(h" was his laconic uusworf She scouted the reason advanced but did not urge him further. "You see," she said," I know when he is in earnest. Ho simply refuses to tnko mo when there is any risk. If he over does fal, though, I want to be with him in the machine, it would bo belter to 'go' together." Mrs. Ely expressed no anxiety for her boy's flightb, However after ho had executed tho famous sjiiral glide and wns again by her sido Mie plead for a promise from him not to re pent it. Ho laughed at her but ho didn't repeat, "I have been wanting to run n machine, myself, but this one is too large," she continued. However .Mr. Ely says ho will build mo one some day which I can operate. "Yes, I go with him everywhere," she added itiaiutly, "although I stay ed at homo in Hun Francisco in order to rest during his recent trip to Texas, I am his good luck.

I It was on the road home from the aviation field. Mr. Ely wa at the wheel f a Reo. His malinger Nor man Devaux told him something o( the days receipts. "Oh. bother the receipts" he said. "I only i-rtine, back hero lo show Med ford that I could fly. I had to wipe out mv record tunde here when I had a machine with no pow'er and was new in the business." Mr. nnd Mrs. Ely yesterday after noon accepted tin invitation extend ed by Col. F. L. Ton Velio to return in September nnd visit Crater Lake. "Oh. I have heard of that place," ex claimed Mrs. Ely enthusiastically, "and I do wnut to see it. We will be back sure." It is queer coincidence that Eugene Ely should return and "mako good" on the same aviation field where he fnilcd one year ago, on tho anni versary of his failure. Yesterday, the first Saturday in June, marked an exact year from his fjr&l attempt, in which he failed owing to a lack of power and cxiwrience. , Some whore in this world, today there wanders a red faced iiiiip known as "Bryee." Now Bryce hay n gift of gab which is irropresMbli and far superior to that of the or dinary man. One year ago today lie was Eugene Ely's manager. lie was trying to explain Ely's failure to fly when ho remnrked: "Yes, Inngh at him. Next year he may be tiie most famous of them ill yea, more, I predict it.' lie was "norne prophet" wasn't he? To Court Hall and Charlie Young. Medford owes a vote of thanks. It was duo to their efforts that the avia tion meet was held. Tlmv deserved far better treatment at the bunds of tho public than they received.
