In his little scene be was gradu ally reaching the climax and the sheriff and reporter stood by await ing his next move. The watt was not a long one, for in a moment he dashed to a dark corner of the cell and picking up a large bottle he raised It above his bead as If to dash It against the bars in the direction of his visitors. Sheriff Starmer and the News-Review man "ducked" and retreated to the outer corridors of the Jail. There they remained for a minute and then back to the cell they went. Dr. Brumfleld had laid the bottle down and was pacing hla cage like an enraged tiger. He has a certain path in the celt which be pursues. He goes from one end of the L-bo ap ed cage to the other and moves so rapidly that it is bard for the eye to follow him. - The reporter broke the silence by sayting "Why, doc, 'you wouldn't harm any one would you? You don't want to hurt me, do you?" Brumfield stopped short. He squared his shoulders, clenched his fists and shaking with rage said': "I'd sure like to clean up on you, Steve Smith." rare Cell Continually Again be started his "setting up" exercises of cell-walking.- Back and forth, back and forth, never tiring. Crazy? Doc says he is but it Is a hard pill to swallow. "You never killed any one dld.you doc," said the News-Review man. "No," yelled Brumfleld, "I never killed any one, but I'd like to beat you up.' Threatens Invaders Again Again he ran .to the dark corner of his cell and picked up the bottlo. Again he raUed It above his head as if to hurl it at the invaders. This time the sheriff and reporter did not retreat, but remained to see the pyrotechnics. Brumfleld made a motion as if to throw the bottle, but his targets remained stationary. He was baffled and somewhat chagrined to find that bis threat did not get the desired result. He dropped his arm and laid the bottle on the flonr and again started the hike. As he n cared thn stove, he reached irfto the coal scuttle and grabbed two large chunks of coal. He tossed one of them towards the door and drew his arm back as if to throw them at the reporter. A look of astonisn ment flickered across the Canadian farmer's face. He wondered why his areata did not cause the spectators to retreat. He dropped the chunk of cnal and once more paced tne noor.

"My threo boys?" he questioned. "I haven't any boys." "Why sure you have" said the sheriff. "You've got three fine boys." llrumrield laughed nearmy. "Come off of that stuff," said the reporter. Puncho Reporter's novo Brumfleld dashed against the cell door. He bounced back and then clenching his right fist he drove it between the bars In the direction of the reporter's nose. The fist Just grased the target. Brumfleld did not draw his arm back for a second thrust. 8herlff Starmer Jumped up to the cell door and grabbing hold of the prisoner's arm, forced It back. tUieriff Ouioia Prisoner "Ynn'rn my nrlsoner." said the sheriff in heated tones to nrnmfield.

One of the 4 4 wounds was in the fleshy part 4 4 of til's leg below the hip and the 4 4 other was In the left leg below 4 4 the knee.

A. at Oregon Agricultural College. sheriff, "but you cut out that rough stuff right now." The sheriff then laid down the law to iiis prisoner in a plain manner and when he had completed, Uruin fleld was not nearly so "vicious." Ready for Another Round When the storm had blown over, Brumfleld was Jready for another round and again he directed some vile oaths at the reporter. " you, Steve," he said. "I know you, you've been around my bouse lots of times. You tried to marry my sister." lie was allowed to rave and receiving no replies to his abus ive language, he silenced himself and started his little game of "ring around the Home" In the cell. The sheriff and the News-Review representative withdrew. When the outer door of the jail was being locked, the footsteps of Dr. Brum fleld could still be heard. But just as soon as the door had been locked the cell-pacing ceased. Left alone, the doctor could see no reason for keeping up the exer cise, evidently. Is Acting Queer Since Saturday Brumfield has been "off his nut" entirely, or so he would apparently have people be lieve. He constantly calls for his sister Mamie, who has been dead for 15 years, and whenever his wife is near he calls her Mamie and insists that she is his sister. He would evidently have people believe that he ha suffered another so called lapse of memory and that his mind has reverted back to his boyhood days, when he was in Princeton, In diana, where he declnres he Is now. He Is unable to recognize anyone, even his attorneys or members of his family. "Who are you," hn wanted to know, when Attorney Dexter Rice visited him late Saturday. "I know you were here to see me yesterday and again this afternoon but I don't remember your name." The attorney tried to talk to hire but could get nothing satisfactory from him. Finally Mr. Rice said: "Well your wife Is coming, don't you want to see her." "So I have a wife, have I?" asked Brumfleld. "Well that's a Joke on dad. He always said no one would have me." Flnriine further nnesllonlng to be ii.less the attorney left and return ed shortly before 6 o'clock Saturday- evening, aecompaniou ny Aiiomey Orcutt and Dr. Sether ana iiepuiy Sheriffs Percy W ebb and rrann Hopkins. Wants Hi" Sifter Brumfleld conversed freely with iha nhvalclan but complained con stantly of his head hurting him. He kept calling ror nis sisn-r, .n,n..r, who he said could stop the pain by rubbing his head. Brumfleld Jold the visitors that he was home in Princeton, Indiana, and that he had been there for about three days. However, he was un able to tell his own name or the last name of his sister, Mamie. "Mamie came to me In a dream i.i niiht " llrumfleld said, "and I know she is here. Of course she Is nt in thla room, because I am not at home. I don't know Just where i i.nt I am In Princeton alright and Mamie Is here. 8he always rubs my head when it hurts like this "Who are you.-- nalrAfl him. i n h d d If I know." Brum- rlnM rpannnded. Mra Brumfleld was allowed to enter the cell and as the prisoner saw her. he leaped to his feet crying "Here Is Mamie. I told you she was hf re." The tears streamed down his Rice Rev. E. W. Warrington, for the past five years pastor of the local Presbyterian church, yesterday ten dered his resignation following tho appeal of Prof. Roy Hewitt or the Oregon Agricultural college that the minister be reheaaed to accept the Y. M. C. A. student body setretaryshlp at the college. A meeting of t he congregation will be held on October 9 to vote on Rev. Warrington's re lease. The local pastor has been offered the position of secretary of the stu dent body Y. M. C. A. at the Agri cultural college located at Corvallls. It Is desired to secure a man for this position who cau assume the Chris tian leadership of the college, and before a man of Christian character there opens up a rvl field for the accomplishment of much good. The faculty of the college Is strongly be hind tho office and there is felt to be a great need for a man who can assume the plnce and can efficiently attend to the many duties which will devolve upon him. Rev. Warrington was unanimously chosen for the secretaryship and a strong pressure has been brought to bear upon hlin to secure his agree ment to accept the position. He has at last agreed to assume the tnsk be cause of the field for Christian work presented. It is a position that only a man with the strongest Christian character could accept, and the fact that he Yian been so unanimously chosen for the place expresses the high esteem In which he Is held by the people of this slate. He will be called upon to be the spiritual ad viser and Christian leader of 3000 young men. a task which could cause the strongest man to quail unions upheld by a power greater than his own strength. Rev. Warrington Is well fitted for the work before him. Practically his entire life has been spent in Chris tian work. During the war he served as a Y. M. C. A. secretary with the d1st ("Wildcat") division In France and saw active service on tho Areonne-Metz front. He was many times under fire and won for himself nn enviable reputation and was well liked hv the men of the di vision. After his division set sail for the states he was located at Camp Ponlnnezen for several months before returning home. He has served for five years as pastor of the local congregation. "It Is with great regret that I think of leaving Roseburg." Rev. W'arrlnglon said. "I have learned to love the city and Its people and mv associations with the congregation here and with all of the Christian neonlo of the rltv have been the most hapnV of my life. But I feel that It Is mv duty to go and nothing can Impel me to sfnv If mv release Is granted. I could not be convinced that I should give up nr work here until I made a trip to Corvallls and saw the nVld for Christian work and then I knew that I must go. It, Is an opportunity to do Christ's work on a much hrnnder scale than here and I would be negligent In mv Christian duty if I failed to accept the rail." The conrreciition will meet fol- ' Insr the tiiornlng ervlep on Or '' fl. niid will vole upon Rev. Wurrlngtnn's r.-slgnatlon. Although the niemlxrs of thn church are nlalnlv loath to release the pastor, thev doubtless will yield to his wishes and permit him to go to his new position H expocts to leave about November I. 4 TESTIMONY IS SENSATIONAL. 4 4 4 4 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26. 4 4 Sensational testimony Is ex- 4 4 pected today when members of 4 4 Fatty Arbuckle's fatal party 4 4 swerve from technical testl- 4 4 mony and start giving an inti- 4 4 mate inside story of the death 4 4 of Miss Virginia Rappe.

WASHINGTON, -Sept. 26. All of America must commit Itself to solv ing the unemployment problem, President Warren Harding told the delegates to the unemployment con ference called to meet here today by Secretary Hoover. Over fifty dele gates were present. Harding ex pressed confidence that the United States would not fail In Its task, but warned against hoping t solve the problem by a recourse to tl e meth ods seeking palliation or torn1! from the public treasury. "There should be work In ab ind ance In tho United States for tLose willing to work," Harding said. Normally an unemployment problen. of a million and one-half races the country. This year great throngs of men are without work, with a dan ger of the problem growing more serious as winter conies on." Harding assured the delegates that with America fundamentally sliong and constitutionally sound, it behooved them to seek a proper so lution Tor alleviating the present suf fering from lack of work and to pre- venut any augmented conditions this winter. Harding said that hf rait sure that work during the winter would be so organized that every man willing to earn money could do so. Three main "problems need solu tion, Harding hinted, before this slate of affairs can be assured: Re duce railroad ratos, with the rail road labor board accepting a wage cut: speed In building through settling certain wage difficulties and reducing prices of building mater ials; Industrial strife tn the mining Industry must end, the price of coal must be reduced, and the miners' wages in some sections must be cut.

Ramsdell, who returned Saturday from an inspec tion trip with District Forester Geo. II. Cecil and Forest Supervisor Ran kin of the Crater Forest The various bills which were brought before Congress regarding road legislation were attacked a ad discussed from all angles, Mr. Rams dell states, and the latest bill, is a remodeled consolidated bill, embody ing all of the best features of the Towsent, Phlpps and Dowell bills. In Its present form the bill is very acceptable, particularly to the west ern land grant states, and Oregon congressmen should be urged to work for the passage of the measure, Mr. Ramsdell says. The party left Med ford on Thurs day morning at 6:45. and retiched Diamond Lake bofore noon, showing the possibilities of good roads into that section. The new road from Union Creek to Diamond Lake is far from being a good road, Mr. Ramsdell says. It has been opened up for travel In order that the forest service may get Into tho Diamond Lake district with equipment, men and supplies for fire fighting purposes and other work, without having to go by way of Fort Klamath. Consequently the road crew has devoted most of Its energies to clearing the right of way and making passable grades, and has giv en little attention to a smooth sur face. Next year, the grades are to be reduced and widened and the road put In good condition for auto travel. The men at the road ramp at the south end of Diamond Lake are en gaged In building that section of the Skyline highway between Diamond Lake and Crater Lake Park bound ary. This road Is being built on a permanent grade and location and no changes will he necessary in tho fu ture. Thn road Is to follow good lines and light grades and It being built so that It ran be hard sur faced at any time. If desired.

At Tiller the officials went over tbe Tiller cut-off road, which la be ing built by the Bureau of Publlo Roads. The Tiller-Drew section has been completed and Is open to travel. The old road between Drew and tha foot of the mountain has been put In condition for auto travel.

From the foot of the mountain to the summit, tbe old road fs being repaired but no new construction Is under way aa Doug las county la not Justified In putting In any more funds in thla section until the Jackson county section from the Summit to tha Trait school house Is put In shape for auto travel.

Overseas Hero Is Laid to Rest The military funeral services over the body of Roy Kruse, world war hero, who was burled yesterday ar ternoon at Yoncalla, were very Im pressive. They were conducted by Umpqua Post of the American Le gion and a large number of veterans from this city attended the funeral.
