ASSAULT CASES WILL BE HEARD Complaints Regarding Allowed llooze Violations Will Also lie Antony; (he Mutters tti Ho Consid ered by Grand Jury. The Douglas County grand jury will convene In Uoseburg on Thurs day, November 1), according to an an nouncement made here this morning by District Attorney George Neuner. It is the district attorney's predic tion that the grand jury will be in session for a week and possibly longer. One of the most important cases to be considered by the grand jury ts that of A. O. Jones, of the Can- Oyonville country, who is charged with assar't vith intent to kill. Kd ward Privett, also of the Canyouville locality, is the prosecuting witness. The trouble between Jones and Privett occurred several months ago. and the defendant is now at liberty on bail pending a hearing before the grand jury. According to the story told by Jones following his arrest, he detected his wife talking to Privett on numerous occasions, and consid ered their relations improper. On the occasion of the shooting it is claimed that Jones armed himself with a rifle and shot at the prose cuting witness. Fortunately the bul let went wild and Privett escaped unhurt. Mr. Jones was later arrested and upau being given a preliminary hearing was bound over to the grand jury. Jones has always borne a good reputation in,, the vicinity of Canyonvillo, and his arrest caused considerable surprise among his friends. 0 Henry Banfield, an aged mining prospector of the Drew vicinity, is another person who - will be called before the grand jury to explain his conduct. Mr. Banfield is charged with shooting at J. W. Jarvis, also a resident of the Drew district. The trouble between Banfield and Jarvis is alleged to have resulted from a dispute regarding the ownership of a certain mining claim located in the vicinity of the Bantield home. Fol lowing his arrest, Banfield was brought to Roseburg, where he was given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace I. B. P'ddle. Do was held to appear, before the grand jury, but was released from custody on bail furnished by his friends. Both Mr. Banfield and Mr. Jarvis are well known in Uoseburg. The re volver with which Mr. Banfield is-al- leged to have fired a shot at Mr. Jarvis is in the possession of Sheriff 0' tjuino and will be one of the im portant exhibits at the trial. The grand jury will also be called upon to investigate the case of Claud Hendricks, who is accused of lar ceny. He is now enjoying his liberty on bail furnished by his father-in-law, who resides at Springfield. Hendricks is accused of stealing a jnckscrew from the Southern Pacific i ompany. It is claimed by the state that the implement was taken from a ear in the Kiddle railroad yards and was later found in the posses sion of the defendant. Mr. Hendricks denies the theft, and claims that he purchased the jackscrew from a sec ond person. Hendricks will be de fended by Attorney J. O. Watson, of this city. ercy Head will appear before the i i i i : .,.. i, D.,xio .n tw.inn.,in in n V Shields, who operates a local jitney -n. .v... ,i ni,m.i -'! lit-, I lie 1 1 It I L Ull'Ul 1 en two months ago. and Head Is now in he county jail awaiting a hearing Aiefore Ihe grand jury.

In North Rose burg, where it had been abandoned by the youthful thief. Head was ar rested a few days later, and upon Wjiivlne evAtnf n.it inn In the lustice court was held In srinear before the trand jury. Another man who will be called before the grand Jury Is Roy Meyers, . alias Roy Howard, who was arrested . at llornbrook, Cal., recently on a I charge of stealing an automobile from Charles Hobbs. of Olendale. Meyers is now In the county jail. In addition lo the local theft. Meyers is said to be wanted at Kalama, Wash., j S.ileiu and Portland.

The sudden upheaval, which oc curred on the crest of the hill less i than 30 feel from the city's water supply, was at a point to be seen from nearly every part of the city, and a most appropriate location for Ian eruption of real proportions. It was caused by the explosion of 20 I pounds of dynamite, which had been stored in a lool house during the recent improvements made to the pipe line entering the t-nervoirs. The lool housse was of wooden construc tion and the material was scattered to the four winds, much of the debris, however, falling into Hie waler. The explosion was the result of a lire which started early this morning near the railroad tracks and had burned over the grass and brush of the hill until it reached Ihe shack containing Iho tools and dynamite.
