JOHN KINGERY HAD
PLANNED
DEMISE
Coroners Jury Finds momen
tarily Deranged Man's
Act Premeditated.
LEFT NO MESSAGE
Ato Hearty Meal, Uathed, DrrgMvd
Himself Fully, Retired to Mis
Room mid Swallowed
.Strychnine. (
That John Kingery. a highly re
spected rancher of Youcalia, who
was found dead! in bed early last
Saturday morning had deliberately
planned his own demise,' was proved
to the satisfaction of the coroner's
jury composed of Richard Hanna, J.
N. Wise, R. W. Long, Melvin How
' aid, D. M. Wilson and J. A. Cox,
who held an inqueBt ever the re
mains of the aged pioneer at the
family home two miles south of Yon-
calla Saturday afternoon.
According to information received
from Coroner M. E. Ritter, the de
spondent man ate a hearty supper
Friday evening, and after partaking
of the meal, he sat down and read
the dally papers as was his usual
custom. Wife and son little dream
ed of the rash act premeditated by
Mr. Kingery, the plans for which
wore then evidently revolving in his
mind, waiting only an opportunity to
be carried into execution.
Some time later Mr. Kingery re
tired to the bathroom, bathed, dress
ed himself fully In clean attire, and
went to his room. At some inter
val during the night he locked the
doors of his apartment and taking a
pocket knife he carefully removed
the cory from a vial of strychnine,
knowing the deadly drug was soon to
end the mental anguish he suffered.
Procuring a glass of water, he plac
ed the two containers within easy
reach and entered his bed, carefully
folding the covers over his body.
These preparatory steps to self
destruction completed the momentar
ily deranged man apparently emp
tied a quantity of strychnine into his
mouth, drank copiously of the water,
and passed Into the great beyond
without any struggle.
Mr. Kingery was accustomed to
always arising early and when he
failed to be about tho house at the
usual hour, his son, Darrell, knock
ed at the door of his father's room,
and receiving no response, summon
ed Ben j. Huntington, Sr., who upon
his arrival entered the apartments
through a window nnd there, ns if
In peaceful slumber, lay Mr. King
ery, life extinct. On u small sale
near the bed was found the-mute evi
dence of suicide, the partly llllod bot
tle of the deadly drug, the cork
from which was still on the knife
blade and the water glass, gave the
absecdary of the rash act that clos
ed tho life chapters or a beloved citi
zen. As far as could be learned the de
ceased left no note that would tend
to explain the sudden desire to end
his life. He hud been in ill health,
however, for a number of years, suf
fering from stomach ailment, which
caused the unfortunate man c-i-pnt
annoyance, but the fact that his soul
had been re-classlfiod and placed in
the first division under the selective
service system and likely to bo call
ed for duty soon, seemed to prey
upon his mind to such an extent that
i.eath was preferable to separation.
William Kletzer, who arrived here
from Yoncalla Saturday nnd who
was well acquainted with Mr. King
ery, stated that he was patriotic to a
marked degree, contributing gener
ously to Red Cross and liberty loan
subscriptions, and had planned to
put twice as much land under culti
vation this year to aid in food pro
duction, so urgently needed.
The deceased was 55 years of age
and Is a native of Illinois, having
been born in that state September
10, 1862. He is survived by the
grief stricken wife, his son, Darrell,
and Bcores of friends who deeply
mourn his loss.
The funeral services wore held
Sunday afternoon at the family home
and Interment followed in a private
cemetery on the ranch. He was laid
to rest beside the grave of a son,
who took his own life in 1911, by
shooting himself In the head after
being repremanded for leaving a
gate open, allowing horses to get out.

T
Broad, Educational Conser
vation Movement to Stimu-1
late Saving Starts. -
BANKERS GIVE PRIZE
$30.00 is To Ito Awarded The County
Having Highest Ratio of Thrift
Activities Ask Parents'
Co-operation.
According to an announcement
made by County School Supt. O. C.
Brown, today a broad educational
thrift campaign is to be instituted in
the schools throughout the county
for the purpose of stimulating con
servation among the pupils. The
Oregon State Teachers Association at
their annual convention which was
held at Portland last year first struck
upon the present plan and a commit
tee was appointed at that time of
which Supt. Tooze, of tue Oregon
City Schools was chosen chairman,
to) adopt resolutions whereby this
thrift campaign was to be handled
by appointments from different
schools of the state. However, it was
readily seen that the work was too
large a proposition to be handled in
that manner and it was therefore
turned over to the Oregon Agricul
tural college extension department
whose officers, with local aid are now
to push the movement through to suc
cess. The boys and girls' industrial
clubs, Oregon State Teachers Asso
ciation, co-operating.
To arouse enthusiasm among the
school children the State Banker As
sociation has offered a $50 cash prize
for the best work in thrift. By tak
ing up the thrift movement, the chil
dren will be securing an education
in practicing less extravagant ways,
which will be of immeasurable as
sistance in later years, also they are
patriotically helping to win the war
for liberty and democracy.
The .following ' stipulations ' have
been set forth in completion for the
prize:
1. By saving and depositing in a
bank or postol'fice (Including thrift
stamps and liberty bonds) an aver
age of ten cents a week or more dur
ing the year.
2. By devoting an average of at
least three hours a week to home
industry, including food production
or preparation, such as gardening,
poultry raising, fruit packing, cook
ing, canning, sewing, carpeiltry or
any club project.
3. By preparing during the year
written work on thrift and submit
ting same' to your teacher, county
superintendent or to some newspaper
for publication.
4. By participating in thrift pro
grams, including readings, recita
tions, debates or addresses conduct
ed -by your school during the year.
5. By keeping personal expense
accounts, club project accounts, or
assisting your parents In keeping of
farm accounts during the year.
The prize is tobe awarded at a
general session of the state- teachers'
association, to the county having the
highest ratio of thrift activities to the
school enrollment, Friday, November
29, 1918.
In order that our nation may sur
vive, every individual must learn and
practice the lesson of industry, of
economy, of self-denial, and of saving
to the point of sacrifice. Habits of
thrift will enable us to triumph in
this world's struggle.
If we would have our children
learn the great principles of thrift
the matter of industry and of judi
cious saving must become a habit.
The thrift campaign heads believe
that, by having the children fill out
the thrift cards each week, and fol
low the guidance ofi the teachers in
the great thrift movement, will aid
materially in instilling principles of
thrift.
The school authorities will greatly
appreciate the parents co-operation in
this patriotic movement, designed for
the betterment of all concerned.
Literature and all necessary forms,
blanks and posters are now in the
hands of Mr. Brown who is to mall
them to all school districts at once
urging all teachers to get behind the
movement without delay.

the sphere of United States forces in
France is widening materially. Unit
ed States troops now hold the sector
east or St. Mihlel. Besides holding
this sector American artillerymen are
helping in the French campaign and
infantrymen with French units are
holding the front line in one of the
most famous battle grounds in the
world. On Xhe sector where United
States troops are holding the lines
ixermans have tried various ruses to
outwit tho newcomers, incluuing
false signals, tapping wires, charg
ing barbed wire entanglements with
elecuicity, and other scnemes to
lead the men Into a trap. Every
time this German strategy has been
used the luuns have been foiled.
Communication with Petrograd
has once more been restored, and de
layed reports tell of serious rioting
in the Russian capital, which seem to
indicate that the Bolshevikl power is
waning. An ultimatum has been
sent to Roumania, demanding that
Bessarabia be evacuated.

Business of Umpqua Valley
Fruit Union Subject of
Discussion.
GOOD REPORTS GIVEN
Methods of Marketing in Order to
Get Best Results for Growers
Necessity for Organization
Everybody Agreed to That.
The Saturday afternoon session of
the Umpqua Valley Fruit Union,
held in the city hall, was largely at
tended. While the public in general
hau been invited, nearly all present
were union members. A. H. Marsh,
of Looking Glass, was first on 'the
program and made-a splendid report
of the work of the organization dur
ing the past season. He called par
ticular attention to the lact mat
while the union had operated with a
paid-in capital stock of only $450, a
business of over 560,000 nat Been
transacted. Mr. Marsh called atten
tion to the fact that additional capi
tal was necessary, particularly at
this time, because nearly all dealers,
in compliance with national effort
toward a cash 'business basis, required-
the cash upon delivery of
goods. Mention was also made of
the advantages the members' enjoyed
through the purchase of supplies in
large quantities. With a larger
capital, Mr. Marsh believed the union
would be entitled to and receive a
much larger credit rating and consid
eration from the banks. Altogether,
Mr. Marsh gave an excellent report
and all his remarks were of decided
ly optimistic nature.
At the urgent request of numer
ous members, President C. H. Bailey
recited numerous reasons for the ex
istence of the union. He called at
tention to other states as apple-producing
sections, citing one county in
New York state, which grew more ap
ples than the whole state Of Oregon.
In order to market our apples suc
cessfully we must employ traveling
salesmen and sell our fruit in the
southwestern states, was Dr. Bailey's
opinion.
Secretary S. D. Cooley, in show
ing how members had really received
good dividends on their capital
stock, mentioned that union mem
bers were saving several cents upon
each broccoli crate and other pack
ages and material purchased, and
that the members should class these
large savings as the real dividends
upon their stock. Secretary Cooley
also reported the arrangements
which had been made for handling
the present broccoli crop. John' Nix
& Co. had. agreed to send a salesman
to Roseburg to sell as much of the
crop as possible for cash, the re
mainder to be distributed upon a
commission basis. The secretary ex
tended an invitation to those pres
ent to give their ideas upon the sub
ject. Foster Butner accepted' the Invita
tion, opening up his talk by stating
that as he was not a union member
he would lilae to give his views, espe
cially upon the broccoli crop. "I
want to talk to you as a produce
man," declared Mr. Butner, "for al
though I am at present engaged In
gardening,, all my life except the past
few years has been devoted to the
produce business. If it is your de
sire to market your crop successfully
you must work for and maintain the
good will of the jobbers who sell it
to the retailers in our cities. The
mistake you are making is in the giv
of your entire crop to the handling
of a single firm. While John Nix is
as good a house as there is in the
country he ,can only sell a pertain
number of cars through his stores
in New York and Chicago he must
sell the remainder to jobbers In the
other markets. And if there is one
thing which the averge jobber dis
likes more than any other thing, in
the getting of supplies, it is in being
forced to buy of another dealer. He
wants to buy direct from the pro
ducer. Sell your broccoli to the job
bers and you will secure their good
will and co-operation, making a suc
cess of the industry. Your Mr. Marsh
mentioned that you had only $450
cash capital but had done a. $60,000
business. I look at the matter In
entirely aonther manner. A produce
man considers the commodities
which he has in stock as capital and
I maintain that if you transacted
$60,000 worth of business your capi
tal must have approximated Sbo.ouu
In the 'matter of dividends, permit
me to offer you this suggestion:
Charge your members the prices
which prevail outside your union for
their supplies, charge them a fair
price for selling their produce, then
you ought to be able to show good
dividends on your capital stock.
Following Mr. Burner's talk one
of the members called attention to
the fact that he had visited Nix's
place In Chicago during the past sea
son and that this firm never jobbed
out any of the broccoli to retailers,
but sold it entirely to jobbers by the
carload. "Then I was giving Nix
more credit than he is entitled to,"
was Butner's retort.
Ingram Harralson made an urgent
appeal for the union to take up the
matter of saving all by-products, stat
ing that he had attended the meet
ing largely for the purpose of con
sidering this feature. Mr. Harral
son declared' that if the union was
put upon a strictly business basis
that he was ready to support It with
all his ability, to subscribe for more
stock or anything else necessary to
success, but if the old order of things
were to continue he did not believe
success would he attained.
Several Garden Valley members
unhesitatingly stated " that unless
there . was a complete and satisfac
tory reorganization their allegiance
could not be counted upon.
Motion was made and adopted that
the chairman appoint a committee of
five to plan an effective re-organization.
This committee will be an
nounced later by President Bailey,
and Instructed' to report at the an
nual meeting in May.
Manager A. L. Kitchln made a
short ' report of the sale of applet
showing excellent results on nearly
all varieties. Adjournment closely
followed a severe criticism by Secre
tary Cooley of those members who
were delinquent either in the pay
ment of bills or their support and
loyalty of the organization. The
secretary declared that his "Irish"
was up and from his language no
one present had reason to doubt his
statement.
BOTH PLEAD GUILTY
C. C. iiodge, the spurious check
artist who fias languished in the
county jail for some time since his
arrest for passing a worthless check
in the sum of $10 was this after
noon brought before Judge Hamilton
to receive sentence. When asked
wnether or not he had secured an at
torney the defendant replied that he
had not and further that he had no
means with which to provide counsel.
Hodge also stated that he did not
wish an attorney. District Attorney
George Neuner then read the com
plaint against the accused as filed by
the grand jury at the conclusion 'of
which the defendant entered a plea of
guilty as charged and Judge Hamil
ton will pass sentence at 10 o clock
tomorrow.
The same action was taken in the
case of the state of Oregon vs. Floyd
Thomas, the 24-year-ola Myrtle
Creek boy who is charged with the
theft of a purse containing $12.55
from the store of his step-father.
Thomas, after hearing the complaint
read entered a plea of guilty and sen
tence will be pronounced at 10 o'
clock tomorrow.
E
E. N. Hopper, of Yoncalla, who
was arrested on the findings of the
November grand jury, charged with
non-support of his family, and who
was placed in the county jail, from
where he was admitted to bail fur
nished by his brother, was today
summoned before Judge Hamilton
and entered a plea of not guilty. At
this juncture District Attorney Geo.
Neuner interposed and stated that
since the defendant's release from
custody here he had removed his
family to Eugene and had contribut
ed to their support and, continued
Mr. Neuner, "It is not the wish pf
the state to prosecute the case against
Mr.. Hopper as long as he properly
provides for his family, and I recom
mend that the case now pending be
continued for the term."
Acting upon the recommendation
of the district attorney Judge Ham
ilton continued the case until the May
term of court, at which time the ac-Ho-n
acainst Mr. Honner will un
doubtedly be dismissed, providing the
man supoprts his wife and family in
a suitable manner.
JUDGE HAMILTON
Sarah E. Pentnoy, a school teacher
employed as an instructor In the Rid
die schools, this morning appeared
before Judge Hamilton and after
producing witnesses as to her fitness
to become a citizen of the United
States, the magistrate with "I'm glad
io welcome you as a citizen," ordered
that naturalizations papers be fur
nished the petitioner. Miss Pentney
is a native of Canada. "
Louis Premazzl. of Divide-, and
Vito Colatorl of Oakland, Italians,
were also made citizens of the Unit

Judge Hamilton Excuses Inquisitorial
Ilody Until Their Services Aro
Farther IteqiUilod Two ,
Cases Not Investigated. (
The February grand1 jury has
been in session with District Attor
ney George Neuner for the past few
days, taking testimony of various
witnesses summoned for different
parts of the county relative to sev
eral cases that had been brought to
their attention, shortly before noon
today completed their Investigations
and were excused from further duty
by Judge Hamilton, until the next
regular term of court, which con
venes in .May, or until their services
are further required.
The inquisitorial body submitted '
the following report:
"We, the grand jury held over
from the November, 1917, term of
the circuit court for Douglas county,
Oregon, beg leave to report that we
have inquired into all crimes com
mitted and tryable In Douglas coun
ty, brought to our attention, with the
exception of two cases, which we are
unable to dispose of at this time for
the reason that not all of the wit
nesses aro at hand, and It would take
some time in order to finally dispose
of these matters. We, therefore, do
not believe it advisable to stay in ses
sion any longer, as the parties are
not in custody.
" "We have returned into this court
four true bills and two not true
bills. We have indicted in . cases
where in our judgment we consider
ed the evidence sufficient, and re
turned not true bills where, we deem-
d the evidence, submitted to us not. ,
sufficient to warrant the return of an
indictment under the Instructions
given to us by Your Honor.
"We therefore ask at this time ,
that we take a recess until such time
as it may seem advisable to Your
Honor to recall us."
A true bill was found against F. A.
Thomas, the Myrtle Creek youth who
attempted to burglarize his step
father's store " at that place some
time ago. Thomas, who has been '
confined in the county jail since his
arrest, was taken before the examina
tion hoard recently and was accepted
for general military duty, and It may
be that he will be allowed to fight
for his country and the charge
against him dropped.
A true bill was also brought in .
against C. C. Hodge, who is charged
with the specific crime of. obtaining
money by false pretenses. It will be
remembered that Hodge is the man
who victimized Thomas Cannon out
of $10' by tendering a worthless
check. He was also accused of ab
sconding with a number of old coins
which he secured from the safe of the
Grand restaurant.
Another true bill was found
against J. A. Prowell, of Green, who
was bound over from the justice
court charged with the crime of as
sault with a dangerous weapon. Mr.
Prowell- is alleged to have fired point
blank at Rowe Weber, a neighbor
with whom he was quarreling, with a
32-calibre revolver. He was arrest
ed on a complaint filed by Mr. Weber,
and at the time the case came up be
fore Judge Riddle for preliminary
hearing. Pfowell was placed under
$500 bonds, and bound over to the
circuit court.
Not true bills were submitted in
the case of the State of Oregon vs.
B. N. Harris, of Myrtle Creek, who
was charged with assault with a
dangai-ous weapon and Smithy Prow
ell, if son of J. A. Prowell, who was
bound over from the justice court
some tImevago on an assault charge.
Smithy Prowell was permitted to
join the United States navy,- upon
recommendation of the district at
torney, and the case against the
young man was dismissed by the
grand Jury, who made a careful in- .
vestigation of the affair. Mr. Prowell
was co-defendant with his parent in
the complaint filed uy the - Weber
brothers.
The grand Jury also returned one
sealed indictment, but on! what
charge or who the findings of the
body will involve was not made pub
lic today, owing to the fact that the .
party or parties, as the case may be,
have not been placed under arrest,
and 'herefore-nothing will be given
out until Ihe accused arc tak.-n Into
custody. It Is the supposition, how
ever, I bat the scaled indictment has
to do with a criminal case which was
investigated by th grand Jury during
the No 'ember tn m.
Mrs. W. O. Bridges left this after
noon for Oakland where she will
spend the day visiting with relatives
and friends. '
S
