He was riding from Jacksonville to
Medford with his meat wagon and
when about half-way between the
above places he was suddenly taken ill
with heart trouble and fell from the
wagon seat, striking in a small stream
of water, by the roadside, where he lay
until discovered by Mr. Cole. When
found be was unconscious and his body
laying in the water, but fortunately his
head was resting on one of the sides of
the ditch. Bert Whitman happened
along about this time and taking Besse
into his buggy brought him to Med
ford, where medical attendance was
given- but it was several hours before
he regained consciousness. He is now
getting around as good as ever and is
staying with his folks in the country.

men will not do, and which yet Is nec
essary for development of the country,
the result would be good for every
body. Oregouian, May 7.
The above is the most wanton
and unjustifiable attack of the many
made on the laboring men of the
Pacific coast by the Chinese loving
monopoly organ of Portland. It
comes too, at a time when the
streets of Portland and San Fran
cisco are thronged with idle men
seeking work, and for whom there
is no work. The same conditions
prevail in every town and hamlet
throughout this state. It is due in
part to the presence of Chinese
among us. They can live on a few
cents a day, have no families to
support, contribute nothing toward
the support of our city, county and
state governments and public
schools, do not recognize our laws
or the sanctity of an oath, have no
homes aud pack like sardines in a
box, do not intermarry, except in
rare instances, or intermingle with
our people. With few exceptions
they are slaves brought here under
contract with the express stipula
tion that their bones must be re
turned to China. .
