You Luncheon Today COMMITTEES APPOINTED boys." The murders, as shown by the evi dence, were committed by the bandits in the following manner, an described by Chief Daniel O'Connell: The bandits boarded the train at Siskiyou and held up the engine crew as It entered the tunnel. Engi neer Dates, age 55, was slain in the cab shortly after the truin stopped, evidence at the coroner's inquest showing that there bad beeu a alight struggle, the fireman's seat being near the gangway of the engine.

Seng, the supposition is, followed the bandits out of the tunnel, and, the desperadoes in their fright, mistook him for a pursuer and shot him at close range. Brakemau C. O. Johnson, while tne holdup was in progress, was proceed ing down the side of the train, ana crawled under the third baggage coach, footprint on the track Indi cate. When the robbers readied tne mouth of the tunnel, Johnson en countered them near the engine cow catcher. In a short struggle he was murdered. It is thought that the bandits, after murdering Seng, returned to the mail car In an effort to entor it but were forced to retreat by gas and smoke. Mail Clerk Daugherty was killed by the explosion, and the desperadoes never gained entrance to the car. Aoiwiiine to the authorities, the men then fled to the hills, circling the Rogue river valley in the black Hud son car first, and seeking escape via the Klamath river road before plung ing into the timber east of Eureka, Cal.

KILLS F THEN SUIGlDESiAT THE SPRINGS Six Charred Bodies Found in Ruins of Farm House Near Deschutes REVOLVER WAS USED Father's Body Found in Ruins of Kitchen with a Revolver Close by, Indicating Crime of Murder The Roseburg Klwanls club held Its first regular noonday luncheon today at the Hotel I'mnqua. Nearly a 100 per cent attendance was regis tered and when the gong sounded at 12:15 p. in. every Kiwaniau was lu his place facing the Amerlcau flag end ready to sing "America." President O. P. Coshow announced the committee appointments for the ensuing year and "Link" Lincoln, field representative of the Klwanls International explained the duties of each committee. Most of the meet ing at noon today was devoted to that work, after, which the secretary was authorized to sign the application for the Roseburg charter. Several visitors were In attendance at today's luncheon and they ex tended greetings to the new organiz ation here. Klwanls began In Detroit, Michi gan, in January, 1915, at which place and time the first Klwanls club was organized. The potentialities of the movement became evident early and as the high purposes of the Institu tion became more and more apparent to the business world, a development began which Is almost uuparalled in the history of the businessmen's clubs. Klwanls Is now represented In a great majority of the most pro gressive communities of the United States and Canada. Klwanls membership Is composed of leading business and professional men, including one man and his com petitor from each line in a givett city. This dual representation makes fur democracy and integrity within business and professional circles which are automatically communicat ed to every phase of social and civic activity. Hence, by virtue of the choice leaderships and powerful in fluence which can thus be concentrat ed on any community need, Klwanls clubs are achieving international rep utation as "Doers of Good." The Roseburg Klwanls club has a membership of over fifty representa tive business and professional men to start with and these men will meet each Tuesday noon. From these weekly meetings will emauato much good for the community. Jolly Bunch from This City - Meet With Eugene Livewires CONFESSES MURDER DENVER, Oct. 23. A. II.

Miss Nell Ilulslnger. representing division headquarters of the Ited Cross lo cated at San Francisco, is here on this mission and is conferring with A. A. Wilder, chairman of the local Red Cross chapter, and the school authorities. The Junlur Red Cross Is not new. hsvlng been organised In the schools of the country In 1917 to open to tno pupils a channel for their energies In aiding the soldiers and sailors, but Its work since the close of the World War has differed so greatly from Its activities of six years ago that it presents many new phases. The plan of organisation of tho American Junior Red Cross makes the school public, parochial, and private the unit, not the Individual pupil. Application for membership is made on behalf of a school by the principal, or head teacher, In co-operation with a committee of pupils. Kuril pupil who takes the pledge of service earns the right to sign the membership roll by the performance of some act of service for his fel lows, his school or community, and Is then presented with the Junior badge bearing the motto "I Serve." The new plan of membership fee is limited to subscription to the Junior Red Cross News, the official maga zine of the Juniors. The method of raising, ss well as the amount of tho service fund out of which Is finan ced all Junior activities, is left to the Judgment of the chapter school commutes and the school authori ties. In promoting the general cause of child welfare. Red Cross courses In home hygiene and care of the sick nnd first aid, may be established In all Junior auxiliaries. Mutual ser vice, helpful community work, such as clean-up campaigns promulgation of health regulations, participation In civic and patriotic movements -all of these creative agencies design ed to translate Into life and action the regular school program are parts of the machinery which the Ameri can Junior Red Cross places at the disposal of the school authorities.
