MEDFORD, Or., Aug. 29. Every
conceivable hiding place in and about
the Lounsberry home on the Jacksonville-Central
Point rond vas searched
for the second time today for evi
dence which would throw a light on
the operations of Wells Lounsberry,
I self confessed train robber. Nothing
!' of Importance was found. The search
was made by Constable August D.
Singler, who over looked no possible
hiding place. The house, the barn,
feed houses, granaries, even well,
lined with brick was entered and a
hiding place for loot sought. The
search was futile and little doubt re
mains but that Lounsberry destroyed
j every scrap of paper, every portion
or his loot he could not convert into.
Cash. ,
The first search of the premises
was not as thorough as the one to
day owing to darkness coming on but
It was In a great measure barren of
result according to Hie two govern
ment Inspectors who searched the
place. That they found certain evi
dence and removed It Is known but
they failed to find any evidence such
as a portion of the loot, discarded en
velops and the like.
An examination of the Lounsberry
home and the outbuildings tends to
show that Mrs. Lounsberry was not
a partner with her husband In crime,
although she might have known of
It. Rather It Is to be believed that
she was more or less extravagent and
thus lew Lounsberry to hold up trains
in order to give her the luxuries she
evidently craved. Not alone Is the
home elegantly furnished biit in an
adacent storehouse Is to be found
discarded furniture and fixtures
which could easily grace the home of
any well to do person. Stored here
are expensive blankets and bed cov
erings, lace curtains and the scores
of odds and ends which ordinarily
are found In a storeroom. The dif
ference here Is, however, that the
goods stored away are nearly new
and had cost considerable money.
The Lounsberry place has for some
time been neglected. A large rose
garden near the house as well started
but now is dying of neglect. A lawn
was started and at one time was in
excellent condition. It is now dead
for want of care. The same general
appearance prevails about the ranch.
Evidently the Lounsberrys were not
ranchers by choice, or they found
that they did not care for the life
after trying It.
Inside the house, however, it is
entirely different. Here great care
has been exercised not alone in se
lecting the furnishings but In the
care of the house.- Mrs. Lounsberry
waB evidently considerably Interested
In needlework for not only are speci
mens of her work found In profusion
but a library on Needlecraft has evi
dently been need considerably by
her. A peculiar fact In connection
with the library Is the absence of any
books relating to fruitgrowing or
ranch life. Evidently Lounsberry
had never made a close Btudy of hor
ticulture although he was developing
a 57 acre orchard.
The two boys which Mrs. Louns
berry took east with her whose ages
were given at 6 and 3 years were
found today to be aged ten and seven.
A family Bible at the place gives
Philip's birthday as November 27,
1902 and and George's as march 27,
1905. The fact that the boys were
old enough to leave alone at homo

husband's companion at Yoncalla
last summer is considered important.

ed as one of the best singers on the

S. D. Evans, of Coles Valley was in
town the other day on business mat

his wheat crop yielded 20 bushels
per acre. While the crop of straw
was unusually heavy, the grain yield
on his farm was less per acre than
last year. The grain is very heavy,
however, weighing 65 pounds per
