Vnuniiously.
At a mass meeting of the taxpayers
cf the Roselnirg school district, No.
4, held at the court house last even
ing, It was decided by the unanimous
vote of the assembly to erect a new
high school building in, Roseburg
within the next twelve months, the
cost ot which is not to exceed the
sum of 1100,000. The present high
school building will be converted Into
a graded t-ehool upon the c lmpli-linn
of the now structure.
The meeting was called to order by
J. C. Fullerton. chairman of the
Hoseburg school board, who. In a
few remarks explained the purpose
of the gathering.
He declared that the Bchools were
at present overcrowded, and that the
number of students at present en
rolled would undoubtedly ba Increus-
ed materially d urine th com'nc
two or three weeks as Is ust.Mily Ihe
case upon the opening of the full
term. He explained that the school
Ijoard had carefully considered the
proposition of caring for the increas
ing enrollment, and had come to the
conclusion that the erection of a
new building would prove the only
neans of solving the problem. "Of

clpally for the purpose of obtaining
the sentiment of the taxpayers, real
izing that nothing could be accom
plished by the board without their
co-uperatlon. tie Baia mm in
event the taxpayers deemed It wise
to erect a new school building the
sko could he selected within the
next few months, and thus assure a
completion of the building by Sep
tember 1, 1911.
He urged that Immediate action be
tnken. and concluded his remnrks by
requesting those present to express
themselves in regard to the proposi
tion. In response to an invitation, Pro
fessor Groves presented statistics
showing that there are at present 849
pupils enrolled In the four Uosebnrg
schools, including the high school.
I,ane school, Hiverside school and
West Rosehurg school, as against 724
enrolled one year ago. Mr. Groves ex
plained that the present enrollment
of the Roseliurg schools would prob
ablv be increased to nearly 1,000
within the next two or three weeks,
basing hiB presumption on the in
crease during the three weeks fol
lowing the opening ot the schools
one year since. He declared that the
high school was crowded to its cn
pneitv, and that more room wns need
ed. In the Lane school he said sim
ilar conditions existed, and It had
become necessary to convert the li
brary as well as another small and
Inconvenient room directly over the
stairway into study rooms.
In conclusion Mr. Groves pointed
out the necessity of the new school
building, and was emphatic in his
declaration that the teachers were
greatly handicapped this year on ac
count of lack of room.
H. T. McClallen advanced a motion
to the efTect that the Roseburg school
district erect a new school building,
and that the task of selecting the site,
plans and specifications and other
preliminary necessities be left in the
hands of the school board.
Before McClallen s motion couia
lie voted upon J. A. Buchanan, a
member of the school board, spoke
briefly. and suggested that the as
sembly take some action relative to
the nature of the building, the site,
and the amount of money that should
be expended In its completion. Mr.
Buchanan corroberated the previous
speaker's utterances relative to the
congested condition of the Rchools.
but assured the taxpayers that the
pupils at present enrolled would have
the careful consideration of the
board and the teachers, not
withstanding the congestion. In con
clusion Mr. Buchanan said that he
thought it would probably be neces-

MKDKORD, Sept. 21. Julian
Mock, a carpenter, and Jessie Smith,
two well known characters In this
city, became tnolved In a quarrel over
a worthless dog last night, and In
the fight that ensued .Mock used a
knife ory Smith with fatal effect,
stabbing him four times, two of the
knife thrusts, penetrating the heart.
Smith died instantly and Mock fled
from the scene and took; to the
woods. Posnes were organized to fol
low the murderer, and as Mock has
the reputation of being a desperate
man and a fighter, it Is feared that
more bloodshed will result before he
Is captured. Mock and the murdered
man had been friends for years, and
It Is said that both had been drink

Crippen Hound Over.
LONDON, Sept. 21. Dr. Crtppen
and Miss Leneve were today bound
over to the central criminal court
to be tried Jointly Tor the murder of
Crlppen's wife. The case was set
for the October term. Attorney New
ton, for the defense, offered no de
fense for his clients at the Bow
street hearing Just finished, explain
ing that he preferred to reserve hi?
rebuttal testimony until the trial
Miss Leneve was hysterical as the re
sult of the mob threatening her to
day, and Ib In the care of a phy
sician. erection of a suitable structure
S. K. Sykes, the hardware mer
chant, was not satisfied with thr
n mount of money specified by Mr
Buchanan, and declared that hf
deemed is wise to spend nt leant $75,
000 that the future needs of the dis
trict might be protected for a few
years at least.
Dr. A. C. Seely. coincided with Mr
Sykes. and ventured to say that $75.
000 was none too much to expend lr
the erection of an up-to-date schoo'
building. Dr. Seely expressed him
self as pleased with the present con
ditions of the city, and hoped that
another building would have to be
erected next year. "The crowded con
ditlon of our schools show prosper
ity", said Dr. Seely, "and we can
not invest our money more cautious
ly and conservatively than In th
erection of school buildings In which
to educate the children."
Attorney W. W, Cardwell, was th
next pneaker of Hi evening. Af
usual Mr. Cardwell injected a bit of
wit and humor into his talk anc
held the verv closest attention of the
assembly. He scouted Roosevelt'r
contention that race suicide had in
vaded the country and on the con
trary declared that from the pres
ent condition of the schools it look
ed as thought the theory of the ey
president was a myth Mr. Card
well declared that every dollar snont
in education represented a return of
one hundred cents nnd he failed to
understand how anyone could con
centrate the nerve to knock such a
nroitositlon as erecting a new schoo'
buHdine when It is a i'prI necessity.
Mi, Cardwell then spoke of the in

policy of the protection party main-,
tnined since the days of Lincoln.

financial depression that bung over

Night Officer Williams, assisted by
a couple of railroad men, Immediate
ly set out in quest of the thelves. and
after a two hours' search found one
of the suit cases cached away In the
Leona Mills Lumber yards at the
foot, of Oak slreet. The other suit
case was found later by a car
"knocker" near the railroad track
between the depot and the lumber
yard olllce.
Examination of the recovered suit
cases revealed the fact thnt the rob
bers had apparently resorted to
knives In forcing them open. Both
suit cases wero literally torn to
shreds. From one of the canes the
thieves appropriated a suit of clothes,
and from the other somo cigars and
I toilet articles.
Marshal Huffman arrived at the
depot at an early hour his morning
and Instituted a quiet search. He
had not gone far when ho learned
that a transient had attempted to
dispose of a box of cigars to Ben
North, nnd a fountain pen to another
party
With a description of the man at
hand the officer then visited a .num

when he accosted Harry Smith, a
transient, who was recently discharg

o'clock this nfternoon enruute to

Although there were no eye
witnesses to the tragedy, It Is gen
erally presumed that tho iinfortunnte
man secreted himself beneath the
baggage rar Just prior to the depar
ture of the train from the station,
nt least a person resembling the d"ad
man was seen stretched across the
brake beams beneath the baggage
car by several men who chanced to
be loitering nhoiit the depot plat

proceed. j
It Is the belief of railroad men
that the unfortunate man lost his
hold as the irnln rounded the curve,
and unable to regain his composure,
fell to the rails with the result that
five coaches passed over his body.
