Details of the accident are lacking, but no one was injured, so far as learned. A man named Henderson, from South Dakota, was in Roseburg today trying to find some trace of his hal? brother, Ed. Schwarts, who Is mys teriously missing'. The last seen ot Schwartz was on the 9th of last November, when he made Una! proof on a timber claim before the U. S. commissioner at Medford. It was supposed that he then went to his home at Pressor, Wash., but he failed to show up there. Henderson went to Medford before coming to Rose burg, but gained no information that would lead him to Schwartz's where abouts. Schwartz was a man of good habits and never mingled with other than a good class ot people. He is about JO years ot age, 6 feet 2 Inches ta. -sighs 200 pounds, has a light moustache, blue eyes and was well dressed at last accounts. Hender son's theory Is that hlB relative may have been mentally deranged, and be is going to Salem to see If Schwartz is In the insane asylum. It he fails to find him there, he will then endeavor to trace him through correspondence which passed between Schwartz and a party In La Orande, relative to the trade of some property. Deputy United States Marshals Ed. Deady and Will Grlfilth, of Portland, were in Roseburg today, but the na ture of their business was not dis closed. ' It Is presumed,, however, that they were looking for witnesses summoned for land cases to be tried in Portland. So far as known, they served no papers. . BASKET BALL! .

IS II K ljOST? riate For Ladies OliST FlrllI Officers Raid Seven Roseburg Soft Drink Places : NO DISORDER; NO ARRESTS Numerous Samples of Beer Taken For Analysis, and One Bottle of Whiskey Slezed la quest of stronger beverages than those allowed in tr attic under the local option law-, Sheriff B. Fen- ton and a force of seven deputies raided seven of Roseburg's soft drink establishments about 8 o'clock last Saturday night. Bottles of what are apparently beer were taken away by the of 11 cere from five of the places visited, and fropi one of these there was also Btezed a bottle of what an pears to be whisky. The raid , was legalized by search warrants -issued by Justice of the Peace John T. Long, and the work was performed without disorder or resistance. The raid was so planned that each of the soft drink places was entered simultaneously. Sheriff Fen ton had assisting him, besides his two reg ular deputies, A. K. Marker and it. T, Ash worth, the following: Con stable J. N. Ryan, Night Policeman Carl Palm, H. D. Ryan (city council man), Dick Hughes, court house jan itor, and Dee Howard, a local plumber and prominent auti-saloon worker. The places visited were those conducted by Otis Fisher, It. 13. Mathews, L. L. Lewis, Wright (Hlldeburn's old stand), 0. W. Noah, A. T. Thompson and Chas. Harmon. Not the slightest Intimation of the A 1.4 LnA lanbnJ nil hatnt.nh nnA an ! fiVftrv nrnnrliitnr wna tnlron hv sur prise. For all that, however, the officers in nearly every instance were extended a cheerful welcome and. Gifts upon departing,: Invited to "call again." No arrests were made, the Imme diate object of the raid being solely to obtain samples of liquor with a view to determining Its quality. The liquor will, undergo a test as to its percentage of alcohol, which, under the prohibition law, must not exceed 3 per cent. If any of the liquor is fouud, upon examination, to exceed this allowance, arrests will follow. The entire matter, as it now stands, will be placed In the hands of Dis trict Attorney Brown, who Is ex pected home from Coos county tonight.- If Mr. Brown decides that prosecutions are necessary, he. will undoubtedly take some definite ac tion before the grand jury meets on the 11th of next month. If any ar rests are made at all,, however, the preliminary proceedings will be had before Justice Long. The .bottle of alleged whiskey slezed In the raid was found by Sheriff Fenton In person at Chas. Harmon's place. The' sheriff also took from this place some bottles of what appears to be beer. Like samples of beer were also taken from the establishments of Fisher, Lewis, Wright and Noah. From Fisher d place. Officers Marker and Palm took nine bottles of beer, but from the other proprietors only two or three bottles of such liquor were secured. Sheriff Fenton found nothing In Thompson' place that attracted. hlB suspicions, so took nothing away. Deputy Sheriff Ashworth, who visited Mathews' place, had a similar ex perience. He found. Mr. Mathews well Blocked with all kinds of soft drinks. Some of these he sampled. finding them of the "soft" order, and finally decided that Mr. Mathews kept no drinks outside the pale of the prohibition taw. Save the bottle of alleged whiskey, all of the liquor sit zed In the raid was unlnbclled. It bears the appear ance of beer, but whether It Is "near- beer" or the anti-temperance brand will probably be decided later. In each Instance, where slezure was made, the officers labelled the bottles to Identify the ownership and gave the proprietor a receipt for them. SOME GOOD THINGS IN JAM'Altr EVERYBODY'S.

Here are a few facts from "Tliirnt Money," Samuel MopkinB Adams' am azing Indictment of American Are waste:- "In ten years we have had a mil lion fires In this country an aver age of 100,000 a year. "Our fires cost us $600,000,000 a year. 'Berlin and Chicago are about of a size.-. Berlin pays Its fire depart ment $312,000 a year, and sees $169,000 go up In smoke. Chicago's departmental bill is $:i. 087. 5115; Its bill for fire losses runs to $5,000, 000 annually. "Yearly we pay In to the Are In surance companies some $1115,000, 000.

Apropos of the Lamb divorce suit, printed In the Review hiHt Friday, we are In receipt of a letter from II. I. Howliind and C. O. Nelson, of the Citizens' Slate Hank of Myrtle Creek, asking us to correct the statement mado In the article that Mr. Lamb, the plaintiff In the divorce suit, is a "Myrtle Creek banker;" that "there Is no partnership existing between the writers and Lamb In the banking business." I'he Review has commit ted no error! unless the complaint Is In error. Our Item was taken from the divorce suit complaint, and this says in so many words that Mr. Lamb "Is one of the prlnripal stockholders and directors of the Citizens' State Hank of Myrtle Creek."
