one In every respect, and ended In a
score of 10 to 6 In favor of Medford.

was a good, fast game. Billy Bev

ered second thst he would, with a
little practice, play first-class ball.
McDonald, at short, was there with
the whip to first. Hill played a
pretty good game, only he let a cou
ple get past him. Alexander, at cen
ter, almost always got the ball, even
when It was a hard run for him.
Stull, Martin and Bishop pitched for
the M. H. 8., and each one got four
or five strlke-outs. The only thing
that the Medford boys lacked was
good team work. The score waa as
follows:
Normals ...2 0100020 16

While turning around on Almend

Winton touring car which bad
brought a party of Medford people
to Ashland, by some unfortunate
turn of the steering wheel, collided
with a big elm tree which was pen
etrated for seven inches by the
crankshaft and the latter had to be
chopped out with an ax before the
machine was released. The occu
pants ot tbe car were badly Jolted
up by the tremendous Impact, but no
serious Injuries resulted, and the
machine, after some delay, and with
Its water Jacket badly disabled, was
able to carry tbe party back to Med
ford. In the party were Mrs. Wm. An

WILL ATTACK WILL
Ignored Sons of Clans Sprecklea to
Contest tor Property
BAN FRANCISCO, May IT. Legal
proceedings, the effect of which will
be to test the validity of the will of
the late Clans 8preckles, were begun
today. The will divided the estate
into equal parte. The widow received
one without restriction and the other
half was placed In the bands of Ru
dolph and Claus A. Sprecklea, two
of the tour sons as trustees. During
tbe lifetime of the widow, ahe re
ceives an Income from the whole es
tate. At her death, tbe half placed
In trust Is to be divided into three
parts, Rudolph and Clause get two
parts outright and hold the other iu
trust for Sprecklea' daughter, Emma
C. Ferris, who is to receive an Income
durlag her lifetime.
By the terms of the will John D.
and Adolph 8preckles are practical
ly Ignored. The executors a week
ago filed a petition asking that
property to the amount of half the
estate be transferred to them as
trustees. The demurrer to the pe
tition was filed today by John D.
and Adolph. and this Is viewed as a
protective measure taken by the Pro
testants with a view to safeguarding
any rights they may have In the ev
tate. Should the petition be grant
ed without demurrer on their part,
the validity of the will would have
been well established In the eyes if
the law.
INIOX8 WOULD RULE.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.
Union Labor party leaders last night
after a five hours' conference, select'
ed candldatea for the three chief of
fices at the coming municipal elec
tion. These were: P. H. McCarthy,
president of the Building Trades
Council, for mayor; Thomas F. Finn
for sheriff and H. L. Mulcrevy for
county clerk.
There was strong opposition to
McCarthy by some ot the members,
because of his record, but ue man
aged to rally enough votes to win
out. Among other candidates for
mayor was James F. Sullivan, broth
er-in-law ot the millionaire, James
D. Phelan. Sullivan has been a life
long Democrat, but he had tired of
thd party because It Is controlled by
Phelan and he wanted the union la
bor Indorsement so be could run as
an Independent.
McCarthy has been active In bind
Ing union labor fetters on San
Francisco, and, despite the fact that
he has made many enemies, he will
poll an almost full labor vote. His
ambition Is to restore labor party
rule here as It was carried on by
boodle Mayor Bchmlts.
STAGE DRIVER RETIRED.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 18
Robert Garrett, the oldest stage
driver In this part of Oregon, baa re
tired from the buatness with the com
pletion of the railroad to this city.
Mr. Garrett la 1874 drove the first
stage that crossed the mountains
from Ashland to Llnkvllle, now
Klamath Falls. Since that time he
has been connected with Southern
Oregon staging. Last January, when
the last coach of the Oregon ft Cali
fornia Stage company started for
Klamath Falls, Mr. Garrett mounted
the seat, took the reins from the reg
ular driver, and on schedule time,
SAL
arrived with the mall in this city.
He thus had the distinction of driv
ing the first and the laat stage that
connected Klamath Falls with the
railroad. Mr. Garrett is planning to
be a passenger on the first regular
train that arrives In the city, and
also to be a passenger on the first
outgoing train. He has disposed of
his Interest In the Oregon ft Callfor
nlt Stage company, and will leave
here on the first train for Ashland,
where he expects to reside.
THREATEN GREEK WORKMEN.
MILTON, Or., May 18. The agita
tion against the employment of
Greeks by the Milton Nursery com
pany continues to evoke much Inter
est In this city. Some weeks ago the
Greeks received threatening letters,
telling them to leave their Jobs or
they would be severely dealt with by
an organised body, signing Itself,
The Federation ot Labor." The
Greeks were badly scared, but were
finally Induced to return to work.
Letters were received last week by
the nursery company charging It with
urging the Greeks to hold their Jobs,
and threatening to injur the plant
by fir or otherwise, and also threat
ening the Greeks with bodily harm
If these warnings were not beeded.
The letters are typewritten and are
purposely, or otherwise, badly spell
ed. Tbe Greeks are much excited,
but stated last night their Intention
of remaining with the nursery com
pany, despite tbe threats.
