Collius yeaterday morning, and the-e'j) bangs a tale. Garvin is a large nun and that la evidently what galne-1 Dim the name of "Babe." He Is a miner and worka out la the vicinity of Phoenix when be la not celejrht ing in Medford, which happened to be the case Monday night. Garvla arrived In town Mjnday w on and lost no time In hunting up few friends In order to get l lien to keep him company, and then pro ceeded to fill up on a certain brand of wbisky known as "Fighting," and soon after was declaring that he could lick his weight In wildcats. John Find lay took exception to Garvin's remarks and right then was sorry that he spoke, for when he recovered from the cyclone which struck him he had hia eyea in mourn Ink and looked as If he had been run through a threshing machine. After that Garvin waa given a wide berth and walked up and down opposite the depot with a chip on his shoul der and offering $5 to any one who would do him the favor of knocking it off. Yesterday morning Chief of Po lice Shearer heard of the doings and lost no time in gathering the "Babe" in. Most of the fight was out of him by that time and he begged hard to be allowed to go to his home in the hills. The chief finally allowed him to stay out until the court opened by making a deposit of $10. He did so, and the last seen of him was when he was hiking up the track as if his life depended on the time he made. Hugh Martin was on deck when his name was called, and after ad mitting that he was in a bad state of Intoxication the night before, pro ceeded to tell his little story. It appears that he arrived in this bustling city a few weeks nso He .was a stranger and they took him in. His roll of hard-earned rnoiuy ccm-istcd of the sum of $13 ud now he was without a single cent. Chief Shearer escorted him around ti where he had blown most of It In and Martin pleaded with thetn to I'tlt up the amount of his fine. And they did so nit. Recorder Collins thought the man had a good enough lesson to last him for a while, any way, and al lower him his liberty on condition of making the usual promise, which. sad to relate, is broken once in while. KILLKD IN COLLISION. BAN FRANCI8CO, Cal.. Sept. . Phillip M. Lllllenthal, president of the Anglo-California bank of this city, and one of the most prominent financiers of the Pacific coast, died here this evening from Injuries re ceived when an automobile In which he was returning from the Gans-Nel-son fight collided with a horse and cart. The banker, who Is an ex tremely heavy man, either jumped from the machine when he saw the collision was coming or waa hurled to the ground by the audden stop ping of the car, striking on his head ard shoulders. One side of his head was found to be terribly crushed a ben be was picked-up, and Severn ribs had been fractured by the force of bis fall. He died In the car on the way to the hospital. Mr. Lllllenthal attended the fight in company with Gregory Wllenkin. an agent at Washington of the Rus sian government during the Russo Japanese war, and Ignace War. schansky of St. Petersburg. On his return from the arena while the ?jr waa making good speed the chauf feur decided to turn down a cross street leading directly to the hea-t of the city. As he swung the car around the corner a young horse at tached to a heavy sulky was coming from the opposite direction and be came frightened and pranced in front of the car. The chauffeur brought the machine suddenly to a stop, but not quickly enough to avoid collision, and the horse was pll-Ml on the fenders of the automobile. Chauffeur Wllenkin and Warschan- sky Jumped out at once and helped the driver to get the suslky righted and the animal on its feet. It was after this had been done that Lillien thal's absence was noticed. On look ing around bis friends discocered the banker lying In the road some 15 feet from the machine, unconscious and with his face and head covered with blood. The Injured man was hastily placed In the automobile and all speed made to the nearest hospital, but Lllllenthan expired during the Journey. RATHER HIE THAN STUDY. Ell ItOIIINHO.V. THE I'Kllltl.EK. Ed Robinson, who follows the ex alted profession of a peddler, labors under the Impression that he baa a kirk coming, and claims that when he gets to be worth a million dol lars he will have every policeman In Medford fired from the force. Of course all his trouble was brought upon by the officers of the law. It Is the same in almost every case of the kind, and according to the stor ies told by those who are arrested, the police go about like roaring Hons, seeking whom they may de vour. "No rogue e'er felt the halter draw With a good opinion of the law." Ed Robinson drives around with a team consisting of a mule and an other animal which he calls a horse, but In all fairness tt must be record ed that he treats his team well. This was the case yesterday when he de cided to let them have a real good rest. The trouble waa that he se lected for the resting place the cor ner of 8eventh and Central streets, and by so doing hlorkaded the cross ings. Chief of Police Shearer pock eted his pride and drove the team and the occupant of the wagon to the police station. Hero ho unloaded his load with the load and then put the team up at a livery stable. When brought before Recorder BenJ. M. Collins, Ed stated that he was not drunk. "Perish such a thought." he dramatically exclaimed, as he held one hand on his heart and waved the other aloft. "No, your honor. I was Just sick at my stom ach: that was all, and If yon don't believe It I will prove It by my team." Tnking Into consideration the fart thai the team aforesaid assisted somewhat In the arrest, the recorder let the old man off with a fine of $.". lie paid part and agreed to pay the remainder on the Installment plan. 8POKANE, Wash., Sept. . Rather than go to school, Wlnirred Thayer, a 14-year-old schoolboy, shot himself with suicidal Intent, us ing a small-caliber rifle. The stock of the gun had been sawed off, ap parently with the purpose of mak ing the weapon handler In the deed of self-destruction. This is the note his mother, who lives on Knox avenue. In Spokane, found yesterday morning shortly af ter 8 o'clock: "Mother I do not want to go to school, so I am going to shoot my self. I am too bashful to go to school. I would rather get a job and go to work. WINIFRED." His mother summoned a physi cian, and after the bullet had been extracted the hoy said to the phy sician: "I did It on purpose, and I do not want to get well." The bullet entered the body a trifle below the heart, was deflected downward and backward toward the spine, and lodged under the skin of the back. The chances for the boy's recov ery are good. MEETS DEATH THE SAME WAV. NEW YORK, Sept. 9. Two wo men, one grieving over the death of her favorite son, the other despond ent because of Illness, leaped to death yesterday from windows In their homes. Mrs. Mary Ann Relsch Jumped from the dining-room win dow and suffered Injuries from which she died shortly afterward. Her son. Joseph, aged 25, was drowned while on his vacation about two weeks ago, and since that time the mother had been Inconsolable over his loss. Although she was constantly watched, she finally elud ed the vigilance of her family and ended her life. The other suicide was Miss Lil lian Reynolds, aged CO years, for many years assistant matron at the Messiah Home, In West Chester. She hurled herself from a fourth-floor window of an apartment house In East Seventeenth street and was In stantly killed. For years Miss Rey nolds had Buffered from nervous troubles. What must we expert when at good an authority as the Chicago News says: "If anybody else writes a novel on Chicago society, let us hope It will deal with the deodorized kind." EASTERN STAR RECEPTION.
