MS OF THE CITY.
"Dar's Heap o' Trouble a BrewinV
When the four or five fence gang
cars were sidetracked in -Medford last
week there wag little attention given
the affair and it was not to be supposed
that a first-class row would result bo
fore these cars were pulled out. But
such, however, is the Case. This gang
of workmen, twenty-seen in number,
are in.the employ of the S. P. railroad
company, and building fence along the
line. The trouble in Medford grows
out of the fact that the employes,
working under instructions from the
company, attempted to build their
fence one hundred feet from the center
of the track in the north part of the
city instead of thirty- feet as in other
localities. The company base their
" claim to this extra laud in their right
of way upon the authority of an act of
congress passed in 1866 granting to all
railroad companies a two hundred foot
riht of wav through all public lands
not settled upon prior to that date.
The piece of land, in question was filed
upon and title secured in 1S79 by P. M.
Plymale and lays north of the original
townsite of Medford, in Jlingus and
Cottage additions, and extends one and
a half miles in length to the Plymale
donation claim. The greater portion
of this land which would be affected
by the extra. right-of-way has been cut
up into town lots and acre tracts, sold
and re-sold and is now owned by many
different parties, among whom are
Messrs. Perdue; O'Cander, flollings
worth, Youngs, Scott, Goldstone, Xar
regan, Krutzler, Palm, and a number
of others whose names we are unable
to learn. Tuesday the workmen began
putting up their fence and it was then
the trouble bagan. They built a con
siderable amount of fence that day but
nearly all was done under protest by
the owners of the land. They built
through the entire tracts of Paul
Krutzler and C. TB. Palm on the - west
side and quite a strip on the east side.
Wednesday morning when they ar
rived at the scene of action they found
all the fence they had built on C. W.
Palm's place torn down. The wires
had all been'cut and the posts either
pulled up or cut off. On the east side
they started in for their day's work,
but upon entering the first -lot thev
found a notice staring them in the face
vhich forbade them trespassing under
panalty the notice slating further
that the owner would not be responsi
ble for the result. This lot they vaca
ted and entered the rixt where a sim
ilar notice was found. These .notices
they found posted conspicuously upon
several lots adjoining and, not being
particularly desirous of being made
' ehet gun targets, they decided to va
cate altogether until further orders
Irom headquarters. All Wednesday
afternoon they laid oft, but Wednesday
evening they received orders to build
fence in Medford for. two days .more.

A Pleasant Occasion.
Editor Medford Mail:- -We had a
little incident occurred in the- neigh
borhood known as "Big Sticky" last
Sunday, of mora than ordinary interest
to some of your numerous readers, and
with your permission I will, give it to
them. Invitations were sent out by
Mrs. Lucinda Wilson to quite a num
ber of her friends to meet at her house
on Sundav. the 8th mst., a3 there was
to be a weddicg on that occasion,
but
the names of those to be married were
not given, but-you know, as a matter of
course, we all went and when we .ar
rived we found quite a numbar of
neighbors and friends already assem-j
-tried, and at fifteen minutes to twelve
Mr. D. B. Davis and Mrs. Lucinda L.
Wilson presented themselves before
Kev. A. C Howlett, and in his usual
easy and graceful manner he - pro
nounced the ceremony, making them
No more twain but one flesh," iu the
presence of a room full of invited friends
nd relatives, among whom were It. H..
Halley and wife, Mrs. J. S. Morgan
and her Iwo daughters, Mrs. T. II.
Oviatt, J. W. Bardsdel, and a young
lady by the name of Susie Cook, all of
Medford, besides a number of her
pcighbors, among" whom were Miss
Alpha McDo-.vel, the teacher of the
school ia the nsighborhood she is
teaching her fifth term in the same
bouse her grandmother, Mrs. Evens,
who is in her eighty-sixth year, Frank
Kempeer, the two Mrs. Zarambas, two
sisters who married two brothers, and
. the ministers family, bssides tho rela
tives. After the, usual congratulations
we all repaired to t'na table, which was
literally loaded with the delicacies of
our favored land. My mother used to
tell me when a child, never to tell
- what I bad to eat, that was extra good,
when I was away from home, so 1, from
force of habit, forbear, but will-say
this much, that with Miss Martha
Wilson as chief cook and her sisters
Mary and Jane to assist and Erastus to
take a general supervision and their
uncle J. W. Collens to gather in the
material sad the VOW Mrs. Lucinda
L. Davis as superintendent in general
we might expect to have a wedding
feast that was worthy of the name,
which we did. Well, after spending
p.n hour or two with our friends we ad
journed, hoping that we may be called
together again in a short time under
similar circumstances. A. D.

How Is It Accounted For?
I. W. Thomas telis us this week of a
peculiarity which exists out at his
place, the whyforness of which is past
finding out. Mr. Thomas is known
everywhere to ba a thoroughly truth
ful and reliable gentleman else we
trould not credit the statement, On
his place, which is about two miles
west of Medford, is a pond o? water
or rather, at times it is there which
has the peculiar habit of raising and
tailing six inches each day. It was
first noticed doing this a few weeks ago
by Wm. Wheeler, one of Mr. Thomas'
farm hands. He spoke of it to his fel
low workmen and to prove to them
that he was not in error he drove a
stick in the edge of the pond which,
by-the-way is only about twenty feet
across and upon the stick made a
mark, and by this means his story was
easily confirmed. In the morring the
water is very low and not until about
eleven o'clock does it begin to raise.
It continues to raise until sometima in
the evening when it lowers again.
Another peculiar fact connected with
the matter is that at this season of the
year heretofore there has been no
water in the pond at all. Was it not
for the altitude of this locality being
1300 feet above sea level it might be
attributed to the movements of the
tide, but at this height it is hardly
probable, and being sixty miles from
the oceau makes the tidal thoory less
probable. Will someone please inves
tigate and tell us of the probable cause
of this phenomenon.

Proceedings of City Council.
An adjourned meeting of the Med
ford board of councilmen was held Sat
urday evening. The subject for prin
cipal discussion was that of Mr. Flynn's
well proposition. The board decided
in this matter that they had better
first ascertain the approximate cost of
adding the necessary piping and other
expenses in reaching certain localities
where water is desired and which will
be supplied provided the well is bored
and the expense of completing the en
tire works is not too great. While
every member of the board is in favor
of a better water system they are not
so foolhardv as to go into the deal
without knowing somewhere near the
point at which they will probably land.
The proposition to bore a well is all
very well but there, are many minor
matters which are to be'eonsidered be
fore taking action. At this same meet
ing the water rate was changed to
these figures: One .yixlOO foot lot S3
per year, two lots, same size, $10, over
that amount.of land or all water from
one tap of the main, S12. In explana
tion Recorder Webb states that parties
who own more than two lots, whether
watered wholly or in part, will be re
quired to pay the twelve dollar rate.

Regarding a Possible Extension."
Mr. W. A. Buchanan, representing
the Rogue River Valley railroad, was
in Medford Monday upon business con
nected with a possible extension of
this line to Eagle Point. His mission
being principally that of getting an
estimate of the cost of bridging Bear
creek and to ascertain ubout what
amount in bonds could be disposed
of in Medford and thi county to
be directly benefitted. The matter
of extension, Mr. Buchanan stated, had
been occupyicg considerable attention
at the head ofllce for sometime but no
definite decision would bs reached in
side of two or three weeks. His com
pany, he says, is moving very cautiously
in the matter and does not propose to
undertake any project which will im
pair the general good financial stimd
ing of its stockholders. In other words,
thty don't propose to cripple ajiy of
their several businesses by taking upon
their' shoulders any additional ex
penditures until it is fairly well proven
that the project can be made a paying
one.

His Team Ran Away.
Wednesday afternJon ns O. Har-
baugh was driving into Medford from
the north, and when just north of Mr.
Edwards' place his team became fright
ened and started to run. Tins wagon
struck a stump or -large stone and
threw Mr. II. from the high spring
seat to the ground where his head.
struck a rock, cutting him. badly over
the eyes and about the nosa. Que -of
his great toes was also burst open its
full length, but just how this last in
jury was made is dimcult to say as
there were no bruises or marks of any
kind on his boot. Ho was picked up
and carried to Mr. Edwards' hoube and
Dr. Geary sent for. The wounds were
dressed and after stimulants had- been
administered he was able to ride to his
home. The team only ran a short dis
tance .when they carao in contact with
a telegraph polo where they were
caught. Tho polo was struck with
such force as to make a total wreck ot
the harness and break all the telegraph
wires on the pole. Tho team escaped
injury.
Receiver Appointed.
I". L. Hamilton, of this city, has been
appointed receiver of the Henry Smith
estate. Tho appointment of a receiver
grows out of somo little financial
trouble outside of tho heirs. Tho es
tate embraces about 2000 acres of lund,
considerable mining property and hotel
and store buildings all of these in and
about Wolf creek station, in Josephine
county. There is also considefablo
property owned by the cstato in Med
ford. Tho estate entire is valued at
about sixty or seventy thousand dollars.
While wo are mentioning this appoint
ment the fact is called to mind that
Mr. Hamilton is becoming quite .a fa
vorite in this capacity. His earnest
work in righting up matters of such
nature are most commendable and are
evidently appreciated.
