W'OOIJROW WILSON. n COOS HAY FARMER llltOKK.N IKVX IIY impending trial. f iticiia Sign Petition Asking Hall for W. It. Foote, Who Slew to Avenge III Girls. MARSHF1ELD. Or.. Jan. 13. W. R. Foote. the elderly retired rancher of Coqullle who shot and killed Charles Wilcox, roadmaster of the Coos Hay, Roseburg & Kasteru Rail way tlon. Is in serious physical coiuu- lion, snenn uuge nas removea mm from the jail and placed him in charge of a special deputy and a nurse, where he can be properly cared for. Foote was held at the preliminary hearing on a charge of murder in tho first degree and wns confined in the county Jail. Petitions were corctilated In this city and In Coqullle for pre- sentanon to tne t ircuu juuge asaing that he he admitted to bail on ac- count of his age and his present physical condition. Hundreds of citizens signed the petition and ball In almost unlimited amount has be offered by friends of the family Since the shooting Foote has suf fered a general breakdown and some alarm Is felt by his family on ac- count of his condition. All the mem bers of the family have been called to Coiullle, where he Is In custody. He killed Wilcox because of the al leged betrayal of Foote's 17-year-old daughter and his alleged advanced toward a 14-year-old daughter. Koole Father of IS Children. The killing of Charles Wilcox by W. R. Foote at Coqullle has cuused more comment than anything that has happened In the county for a long time. In this city sympathy is entirely -with Foote. Wilcox, roadmaster for the Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern Railroad, lived with his family at Cualedo, 'i small station. Foote Is a native or Louisiana, but has lived in this coun ty for many years. He owns a 400 acre farnv near Myrtle Point where he has made his home for a long time, only recently moving to Co quille and retiring. He and his wife are parents of 18 children, some of whom are married and five or six of whom are small children. One daugh ter, about 17 years old, has been staying with Mrs. Wlicox as a com panion, as she has a child a month old and the duties of Wilcox made it necessary for 111 in to be away from his home much of the time. It was because he believed Wilcox to have betrayed the Foote girl, who waa at his house, and also to have sought the ruin of another daughter of the Foote family, aged 14 years, that the shooting came about. Mr. Foote had applied to the Deputy District Attorney with the story of his daughters, and had ask"d that some prosecution be Instituted against Wilcox. It Is said he several times saw the deputy prosecutor and even on the day of the shooting In sisted that something he done or he would take the matter Into his own hands. That day he secur d a 30-30 rifle, and when Wilcox came Into Coqullle. shot him. He fired three times, but 'he first shot was sumti. nt to cause noam. roote inimeoiuie.y ga.e self up. He was taken Into custody. and at the Inquest it was found that 1ICOX Ulcu 1 1 0111 a ler.iej. i caused by a bullet shot from Foote's gun, but the Jury did not make any recommendation as to holding Fool,' to the grand Jury. He will be glv.-ti a preliminary hearing. Foote bears the best of reputation in the county as a sober and Indus trious man. and the head of perhaps the lariest famllv in Oregon, who had made every effort to properly raise his children. Foote Is 60 years of age. and the man he killed wss nearly 40 years old. "Mother" Jones, a woman of Na Itlonal Iromlnence on the lecture plat I form, addressed a big audience at the Palace Theater Sunday afternoon in behalf of labor unionism, a caiu" which she has rhamnloned for mary years.

Hr oratory waa both brainy and polish -it Mrs. Jones Is a remarkable example of nhvslcal and intellectual woman hood and she deeply Interested all of her henrers. regardless of their per sonal opinions on the subject of her remarks.

IMll'GLAS CIM XTY MAY HE DRAWN INTO LITIGATION. I Southern Oregon Company Seeks to KuJoin Collection of Taxes On Disputed Laud. Douglas and Coos counties will be drawn Into the suit Instituted by the Federal Government against the Southern Oregon Company, if Judge Wolverton grants the petition Hied by the defendant asking that the two counties and their tax collectors the Sheriffs be made co-defendants. Attorneys George M. Brown and 11 L. Eddy, representing the two countlis, have filed a demurrer to the defend ant's petition, and the matter will be aigued before Judge Wolverton In the Federal Court at Portland on the II 3rd of this month. I The Government seeks to compel the Southern Oregon Company to for-', felt Its holdings In Douglas and Coos' counties on the same ground that It is suing the Oregon ft California Railroad Company, namely, that the Congressional grant by which the land was obtained has been violated by the refusal of the company to se'l the land to settlers at $2.50 an acre and by disposing of some of the hold ings In larger quantities than 160 acres to an Individual. With the title to Its property en dangered by the suit, the Southern Oregon Company haa refused to pay taxes on the land In either Douglas or Coos county for the years 1909 and 1910, not being guaranteed re imbursement In the event of the Gov ernment being victorious In the liti gation. The amount of taxes due from the company Is about inu.uuu. Under the law relating to delinquen cy of tax, the Sheriffs of both coun ties have advertised the company's holdings for sale. To enjoin such sale and to make the counties partlcB to the suit Is the purpose of the peti tion, filed by the Southern Oregon Company In the Federal Court. Tbe demurrer llled by Edd ana lirown contends. In the concrete, that the counties have no plsce as participants In a suit Involving the issues raised by the Government. HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
