As a grain produoer that section is surpassing all ex pectations. Johnny Angel, who is interested in mines in Josephine county, was in Jacksonville Saturday after an absence of many years. John was born and raised on the Angel place, now owned by Olwell Bros. He went to Portland and oporated largely in real estate during boom times, tie made money tast and spent it with a lavish hand. He was a typioal ton noicn plunger and earned the sobriquet of "Vil- lard" when that gentleman was ex ploiting Oregon through the con struction of the Northern Pacific railroad. His father, Martin An gel, was shot from his horse and killed by an Indian on the Apple gate road near the Henry Baaten place, two and a half miles from Jacksonville, the 2d day of Jan uary, 1886. ine following item was sent us by our Jacksonville correspondent the week following tne gentleman s death, but it was mislaid and not until this week did it come to light: C. H. Barkdull, a native of Ohio, died on Applegate, at the residence of bis daughter, Mrs. John O'Brien, on Thursday, June 28, 1900, aged 79 years, one month and six days. Mr. Barkdull came to California in an early day, and to Southern Ore gon in 55. He went back to Cali fornia in a short time and removed here with his family in '56.- He went to the Williams creek mines in 1859, in boom times, and built a large hotel. The mines Were spotted, miners lost faith in them and the camp rapidly declined. The north ern excitement was at fever heat in 1861. and everyone footloose went north. The hotel enterprise was a failure, and Mr. Barkdull lost con siderable money. - He went north later, but met- with no particular success. Mr. Barkdull was an amiable, pleasant and honest man, had many friends and was a good citizen. He leaves a number of children and grandchildren. The remains were, interred in the Jack sonville cemetery Saturday, June 0th, at 10 o'olock, Hon. Wm. M. Colvig, officiating. Many relatives and friends attended the obsequies. At the special 20th anniversary meeting of Adarel lodge, order Eastern Star, held in Masonio hall Monday night, there was a large attendance and the evening was a most enjoyable one for all present. The entertainment embraced vocal and instrumental musio, Indian club swinging, cake walk, an ad dress by Mrs. J. N. T. Miller, the fleet worthy matron, on the history and growth of the. order, and an ex cellent address to the membership by Hon. Wm. M. Colvig. There are only seven of the charter mem bers now belonging to the . lodge, five of whom were present; namely, Mrs J N T Miller, Mrs N Fisher. Mrs Mary Miller, Max Muller and R S Dunlap. A pretty and pleas ant feature of the ocoasioa was the presentation of flowers by the five Doints of the stars to the charter members present. There was a fine spread at the close ot tne exercises, embracing all the delicacies usual on such occasions. The tables were handsomely decorated in the five colors, corresponding to the five points of the star, with here and there, arranged in pleasing and ar Baking co., mw vok. tistic dosiK", potted plants, fern, trailing vines, etc. The event will long bo remembered by those pres ent as commemorating the institu tion of a lodge which has been a perpetual pleasure to the best so ciety in Jacksonville.

Editor or Medfoiid Mail: In your Uaue oi July 20, 1900, appcAra an article gravely re flecting upon myself and member of my family and which I cannot allow to go unnoticed, a It la grosaly unfair, unnelgbborly and doea man l font Injustice. I refer to tbe Item touch Ing ibe blrlng of a livery team from tbe Kaab stable by Frank laaaca and Losler Cbllds. One reading tbe artlole would suppose that these two boys bad been guilty or willfully and intentionally securing the team and with larce nous latent and were a brace of common crltn- lnals, and whose parentage waa such as to de serre public leoturlng at your hands. Again, had you Informed yourself of the true facta or bad you come to me aud gotten the foots and earned all tbe circumstances, your pen would not have been so ready to write so unjustly and Injuriously of your neighbor, nor would you have been ao keen to have ooodomned. The real foots of the ease arc that Prank and Lester bad been talklDg to Mr. Tull about going to Klamntb for work and wauled a team from him and. that I had dissuaded thorn, for a time at least, from the purpotte; that afterwards, having determined to carry out their flnt In tention, they secured a wagon from Mr. Beber- merhorn (telling blm of their Intention to go to Klamath) and a team from Mr. Tull; that Mr. Tull told them they might havo the old team for three weeks and without cost to them ; tbst they started with tbo Intention of making Mc Allister springa, but changed their minds and went to Klamath where they were offered and secured work, but not to their liking, resolved to return home and are now on their way. That afterwards Mr. Ghllds and Charles Isaacs went to Klamath also to seoure work (and not to oatoh the thieves as your artlole Intimates) and met the boys there and loft them there and nothing whatever was said about their having falsely and fradulently secured the team from Mr. Tull, neither was there that "rough camp" when ttaoy came together, nor were their horses headed Medfordward as you gleefully Indicated. Again yon ostensibly assume to be lawyor and proceed to read tbe damage law to me and them. While I thank you for your curbstone advice and am glad to learn that our legal pro fession has another bright aad particular star In Its legal firm an on t. yet I am loatho to act upon free counsel as I can well afford to pay for an attorney's services, and I would rather entrust my Interests to one whose knowledge and legal acquirements have been learned from Bloc ketone, Kent. Chttty and others than rink street law. If you will do me the favor of In serting the above and hereafter seeking to as certain the facta In the oaae and not rush "where angels fear to tread," I think your medium will be muoh more reliable In Its news column than It seems to have been In tho pres ent case.
