THE 12TH AI
NU!
Veterans of Four Wars Are Cam.
ped in Medford.
Monday the 12th annual reunion of
the Soldiers' and Sailors' Association of
Southern Oregon convened in Medford.
The members of the G. A. R. and W,
K. 0. from all over thlB end of the
state, grizzled veteranB of tbe Indian
wars of '65 and earlier, Beveral old men
who followed General Zach. Taylor to
the City of Mexico, and some of those
who upheld tbe Btarry banner in the
Philippines are gathered in our city,
aud are enjoying a season of good fel
lowship. Here and there are seen
men who wore the gray in the 'GOs, ami
it is always interesting, to hear two or
three old boys who fought on op
poBite elder get together and fight the
old battles "o're again." There is
nothing of acrimony and bitterness in
these discuBsions. During the lour
yeura ol that awful struggle a whole-
tome reBpect for his opponent grew up
in the minds of the fighting soluiers,
whither he wore the blue or the gruy,
and they are now willing, nay eager,
'to show all honor where honor is due.
The old veterans of both Bides keep
lime to the notes of "Yankee Doodle"
or the strains of "Dixie" alike.
On Monday evening the encampment
was formally opened. Mayor Crowell
bad been scheduled to make the ad
drees of welcome, but was unavoidably
absent. Prof. Narregan was called up
on aud in a few well chosen words
welcomed the veterans to our city.
B. B. Paull, of Ashland, delivered
tbe response to the address of welcome
on the part of the association.
Vocal solos by Miss Mable Jones and
Mrs. E. E. Gore, a reoitation by Miss
Ella Dodge, a piano solo by Misb Elvira
Htbbard, and several selections hv the
High School Band served to make a
program oi unusual Interest.
. Tuesday was Medford day, and the
proceedings were in charge of Chester
A. Arthur post. There was a short
program in the afternoon, the princi
pal features of which was an address by
Kev. C. H. Hoxie.
In the evening the exercises were
opened with music by the band follow
ing which lion. W. 1. Vawter was in
troduced and made a short address.
Mr. Vawter spoke of what the pres
ent generation owed to those who
fought in the conflict, and of the work
of uniting the American people accomp
lished by the Spanish war "which,
while called a little war, was a great
one in its results when the
blood of Sergeant Hamilton Fish, of
the North, and that of Captain Capron.
of tho South, mingled on Cuban soil
the breach between the North and
South was forever henled and we found
ourselves again a united nation, with
one country, oue fuitinierit and one
llag."
The program con.-i-'d of music by
the band, vocal solos , D. W. Day,
Misses Rose Fielder, ti .iLrutlo John
ston, Otie Ivame: recitations by Misses
Mae Merriman, Xola Redden and
Minnie Hochenyos; instrumental se
lections by Mies Grace Auiaun and
Vernon Vawter and Trcve l.umsden;
a comic biackfaee selection by Geo.
Merriman. Jr., and a representation of!
a camp acene by some of the boys "who
had been there." Tho scene showed a
hastily mndu cauiu and it was evident
that the boys had been foraging, as
there were various eataoles in siuht
not in the usual rations. Just as the
meal was about ready shots were heard,
the famous "rebel yell" rent the air
and the way the boys made trucks was
n't slow but tliey were careful to take
along all the grub, so that when the
"Johnies" burst into camp there was
nothing left but the smoldering embers
of the fire. It was the depiction of a
scene that was of frequent occurrence
in war times and highly enjoyed by
the audience.
Wednesday was Gold Hill and Cen-
tral Point Day and the Posts from those
points provided the entertainment. In
the afternoon Mavor Crowell delivered
an aildres? in his happiest vein, and
everyone knows that when tbe Mayor j
makes a speech It is sure to be
good
ono. In the evening a piogram, con
listing of shoit addr.-S"S by Hon. W

Opinions of Some of Our Citizens
Serious and Otherwise
Bert Miller "Arewedolng a pretty
good hiisineBS cleaning and pressing
clothes? We have nothing to complain
of.. One peculiar thing about the busi
ness Is that work has all come from
persons we did not expect to do busi
ness with, while those whom we were
rather relying on to furnish the bulk
of the trade have not bo far done busi
ness with us. So far as we know our
work has given entire satisfaction."
Shorty Dodge "I've troubleB of my
own this wetk. Every thing, pretty
nearly, in town 1b depending on me. I
have to run the dray buslneBa, help
keep the Ice-plant in operation, see
that the Southern Paclfio company
keeps its trains on tbe track and in
fact keep a kind of general supervision
over the town. 'Where'e SloverV Oh
he went over on Applegate to be gone
for several days. He got bo he thought
I couldn't get along without him, so I
let him go on an ontlng, just to Bhow
him he wasn't the whole thing."
Geo. Reynolds "I had a pretty
tough trip of it down in the Galice
creek country last week, while I was
looking 'after aome mining property in
that aection. Jerry Hooker and I were
together. We were able to get within
about eight miles of the property with
the team and then we bad to take a
trail across the mountain. It was a
very warm day and from six lu the
morning till about two in the afternoon
wo were without water. After we had
lixed up the business at the mining
claim we started back and that was
when tho tough part of the proposition
came in. Neither of ua were accustom
ed to mountain travel aud an eight
mile jaunt over that kind of country
is enough for most anyone. However,
we just doubled it. About midnight
I reached the place where we had left
the team, and I was so 'dog-tired' that
I didn't even make the bed down, sim
ply wrapped the buggy robe around me
and sat down to wait for morning.
Hooker didn't get in until the next
morning. On tbe way down the
mountain in the night I ran across a
big panther, but he got into the brush
before I was able to get a shot at him.
On the way over to the mine we ran
across a Polish family who had taken
up Borne land. I asked the man where
the trail wan that would lead U3 over
the mountain. He replied, 'It's down
there by the corner of my fence. It
was there last time t neon down
there. Been there all tho time.' No.
he wasn't joking, It was just h!s way of
handling the English language."
Accidentally Shot.
G. W. Woody, about twenty-four
ycai's of age, was accidentally shot and
killed Friday last at noon while out
hunting in the mountains twenty-live
miles east of Ashland by a companion.
James Dally.
A deer jumped up between Woody
and Daily. Daily, who supposed that
his companion was on the further side
of the mountain top from him, llred
twice at the animal, the second bullet
striking Woody in the left shoulder,
cutting an artery. He died in half an
hour from loss of blood.
A lolly party of young folks of Phoe'
nix, consisting of Mr. aud Mrs. G. W.
Woody, Misses Julia and Frances
O'Toole, Oscar Stinson and Milton An.
derson, left a few days ago for a camp
ing excursion In the mountains, east of
the valley, and camped at Taylor's
place, at Grizzly Prairie, with their
friend, James Daily, who keeps the
ranch.
Friday Dally, Woody and Stinson
went hunting and were at Buck .Moun
tain, five miles from camp, when the
accident happened, the three having
separated according to agreement lo
circle around and across the mountain
in search of game. Daily supposed
his coinpaniiins far away when he saya
a buck jumped out of the brush and he
fired twice.
The first he knew of Woody 'a pros-
icnee wua his outcry alter the lirst
shot that ho was hit. Everything posi
slble was done for tbe wounded man
and an attempt was made to reach
camp, the hunters having their horses
near by, but Woody died in llfty-llvc
minutes from losa of blood.
The remains were brought to Medford
Sunday and tho lliuernl took p!nce on
Monday afternoon at the Baptist
Church.
Tbe suhslanee of Slinson's story as
I l.ild at the coroner's inquest is as fol
I lows:
The three men hail separated on the
hunt, Stinson remaining on a high
)K)inl of a ridge while Daily and Woody
were to take opposite sides of the ridge.
For some .reason Woody turned the
wrong way nnd came back on the same
able of the ridge with Daily, cros8ing
the lattor's track and coming in behind
him. Stinson from bie point of van
tage could see Woody make the turn
and both men were In sight most of tho
time. A deer jumped ui between
Dally and Woody, and the former not
knowing hie companion was any where
near him commenced shooting. At the
first shot Stinson heard Woody cry out
and immediately started toward him,
Daily doing likewise. When the three
met, Woody's first wordB were "I'm
shot, but I do not blame vou,"
Woody was placed on a horse and
the two started for camp, 1 hey
had gone but a little dlBtance when
Woody announceil that he couldn't
stand the motion. He "whs helped
from the horse and Dally left for camp
for help. He made tho distance four
miles and back in 36 minutes, but
Woody died a few minutes after he
left.
At the corner's Inquest, held at Ash
land on Sunday a verdict to the effect
that Woody's death was caused by ac
cident was brought in.
