ASSAULTED
o
BY A THUG
Editor of the Tribune
Cowardly Attacked by
Son of Former Sheriff
JaGkson on Seventh St.
While wnlkii.fr down West Seventh
street in front of Uusscy's cash store
near the Moore hotel, George Putnnm,
editor of The Med ford Tribune, was
Tuesday morning ussnulted by Earl
.Tnckson, Bon of ex-Sheriff .lack mm,
and a former deputy under his father.
loung Jackson has a reputation as
n thug and a bruiser, and won fame for
himself while deputy Bheriff by string
ing one of the prisoners up by his
wrists in a cell of the county jail until
his shrieks for mercy caused outsiders
to break into the jail and release the
tortured man. It was the publication
of this story some months ago in The
Tribune which evidently aroused young
Jackson to revenge.
Putnam's Story.
Putnam's account of the assault is
as follows:
"I left the office of the Condor
Water & Power company about 10
o'clock on my way down town, when,
opposite Hussey 'b cash store, 1 was
accosted by a young man, who asked
me if my name was Putnam. 1 told
l.iin that it was. IIo asked if I was
tlio editor of The, Tribune. I replied
yes. Ko said I had printed some sto
ries about him, nud 1 asked htm what
his name was, for I had never seen
him before. With that ho struck me
in t he fact mid the blow dazed me.
Evidently a rain of blows follows, for
I only remember staggering into Hus
sey 's store and asking for a basin to
wash the blood from my face.
' ' Tho assault took me by surprise. ,
I had never seen young Jackson and :
would not know him if I saw him again, j
3 printed the news regarding his inhu-
man treatment of a prison while he
was a deputy sheriff last spring and
had been on apparently friendly terms
with his father since election,
"Sheriff Jackson had me thrown in
jail at Itoseburg on a trumped up
charge last winter in the evident hope
of forcing me to leave the country. The
sou's vicious assault is along the same
liaes as his father's actions in throwing
me in jail.
"People ought to know by this time,
for this makes several times that I
have been assaulted, that other than
gratifying the innate brutal lust of
the thug, there is nothing gained by
physical violence. The assault will not
affect the policy of The Tribune one
way or the other. When officials arc
delinquent in their duties to the pub
lic, The Tribune will print the news.
It is not afraid to tell the truth."
Jackson a Sailor.
Young Jackson was formerly a sailor
in tin United States navy nnd is said
there to have made quite a reputation
for himself as a prize fighter. The
story of his stringing a prisoner up
by the wrists in the Jackson county
jail is as follows:
On March 10, 1907, four prisoners
made a jailbreak and escaped to the
hills. One of these was a man named
fi a ming, who was brought back. Young
.Im-kaon punished him by stringing him
up by the wrists in the cell. A pair
of handcuffs were fastened upon Oa
nung, the chains being put through
the iron lattice work of the cell above
the prisoner's head. (" Newbury ad
vised young Jackson not to string the
prisoner up, but was ordered out.
After being strung tip for about an
hour, the cruelty of the punishment
began to tell upon the prison, who yelled
for mercy. Outsiders then took a hand
in the matter and had the man re
leased. Those who denied the story
previous to election admitted that it
was true in every particular afterwards.
POSSE OF CITIZENS ARE

TAroMA, Wash.. Sept. 22. The bold
est burglar that ever operated ii tins

the criminal to make a display of his
nerve.
In broard daylight late yesterday aft

in tho not of riflinff a store 'in Sum

Mil the marshal in one spot until

FOR OCT. 15
Recorder Collins
Says He
Will Follow the Law As
Regards Recall Petition
May Be Enjoined
Recorder Benjamin M. Collins will
on next Friday issue a call for a spe
cial election in the First ward for the
recall of John D. dwell, councilman
from that ward, as asked for in a peti
tion filed with him for that purpose.
The election will be held on Thursday,
October 15, if no restraining order is
gotten out in tho meantime and the ac
tion declared illegal.
Those who have signified their in
tention of having their names removed
from tho petition will be allowed to
hand the recorder a statement to that
effect, which will be nttached to the
original peition.
It is highly probable that the record
er will be enjoined from calling for
the election, owing to that part of the
recall law which determines 25 per
cent of the voters in the district in
voking the net. The number is deter
mined by the votes cast upon the elec
tion of a supreme justice, nnd as the
First ward has never constituted a dis
trict voting upon this matter, it is im
possible to npply the law in this case.
Mr. Olwell has but three months more
to serve after October 15, the day
which will be named as election day.
His term expires January 15, 1000.
Unless restrained, tho recorder will
issue the call for an election on Friday,
the election to be held October 15.

WATER ON DECK
City Scavenger Can Find
No Dumping Ground
Filth Accumulating
No sooner does tho water famino step
from the limelight than tho dumping
ground steps in. Yesterday The Tri
bune a nn oil need that tho water famine
was for a time abated, and today the
matter claiming tho attention of conn
oilmen and various city officials is
the obtaining of a suitable dumping
ground for the garbage of the city".
G. W. Jones, the city scavenger, is
having troubles of his own. He has
no place to dump rcfuso and ho has
countless calls to have garbage remov
ed. He is between two fires and dis
gusted. Well, that is his privilege.
Some time ago one John Bain offer
ed to tako care of all tho garbage of
the city delivered at his place for $100
a year. This was easy money until
some neighbors butted in nnd obtained
an injunction, which stayed his little
game. Ilia method of copping the elu
sive bucks did not appeal to their nes
thetic aease. They rebelled, and with
an injunction cut off his revenue. Since
that time fate has buffeted the gar
bage man from one post to another.
Ho seems nn outcast . upon the city
map. It's a caso of "come in, but
leave your dog outside."
Tho committee is at work. Perhaps
they can find somo placo big enough,
bare enough, isolated enough and still
accessible that can bo used as n dump
ing .ground.

Without any npparont motive, speech
materializes off a steel wire when

in a little machine ho is exhibiting in
the Kugte Pharmacy, at tho present
time. It sound impossihlc,abut it is an
actual fact. Tt Bounds wierd, it is
wierd, but It is true, nevertheless.
The mac hi no which does it is the
telegraphone. In looks it is not unlike
a dictating phonograph. It standB on
an ordinary table and Iiiib a long wire
wound on two spools. When this inn
chtno is started the wiro will run from
one spool to tho other and absorb the
record as it goes. All that is needed
is to start it over and it will talk five
miles at a stretch. The machines that
are now booing put out run 20 minutes
at
Btretch, but tho siko of the spool
can be changed to run 102 minutes.
Tho variations of the machine are
wide. It can bo connected to an or

and tako any messages that are left for
him in his absence. Jt can keep a
record of train orders sent ovor the

Tho machine is worth tuking a look

Water Has
Temperature
of 40 Degrees-Over 2,
ooo Miners Inches in One
Spring Alone
J. J. Cumbers of Ashland, who re
cently in ado tho city an offer of 500
inches of water for $80,000, was in the
city Monday en route to Jacksonville on
business, nnd incidentally looking up
tho status of his proposition.
Mr. Cambers proposes to sell the city
water from Buck lake. This water lias
its sourco in springs, and, according
to Mr, Cambers, has a temperature of
10 degrees at tho hottest time of the
year. Tho elevntiou of tho springs is
over 5000 feet, which is somo 3600 foet
above this city.
From Medford tho distnnco to the
springs is four miles south nud 28 miles
east, following section lines. At no
place is the topography bucIi ns to mako
a high pressure necessary.
Wants City to Investigate.
"All I want," said Mr. Cambers, "is
to have the city investigate tho prop
osition. ' The water which I offer is
not lake water, but rather spring wa
ter. Tho Inrgest spring has a flow of
over 2000 minora' inches and I chat
lengo aiiyono to find purer or better
water. I make tho proposition because
1 am interested in all parts of tho val
ley, and I boliovo no bettor sourco for
a gravity water supply could bo
found."
Has Irrigation Project
Mr. Cambers has an irrigation pro
ject in view, and it Is highly probable
that he will nupply the Bouthern part of
tho valley with water for irrigation
purposes, regnrdl ss of any action which
Medford may tako. Tt will bo an oasy
matter, ho claims, for h'm to put the
water into the calley, nnd he is also nn
ardent advocate of Irrigation In the
valley.
"I have resided in Itoguo River val
ley for the past ten years," ho said,
"and I know that water is needed nnd
that it. will make the valley wonder
fully productive, Tho fact that irri
gation is not imperative1 baa been r
sponsible for the lack of attention paid
to this matter in the past."

Sunrise
Mining Company
Will Soon Have Control
of the Mine-Either That
Or a Law Suit
It is highly probnblo that within tha
nost two or threo dnys that the Sunriso
Mining company will succeed in obtain
ing control of tho conl mine southeast '
of tho city, ns n deal they have under
negotiation with tho Pacific Coal com
pany is coming to n successful termin
ation, according to reports.
Ino Pacific Coal company Bomo time
ago entered into n contract with John
Murphy of Chicago to deliver the
mine to a company which Murphy was
to orgnnize, tho contract prico being
125,00(1. Murphy returned east, or
ganized his compnay, named it the
SnnriBc Mining company, and roturned
to take tho mine off tho hands of the
Pacific Coal company.
hilo Murphy wns organizing his
company and raising the money to car
ry on the work of development, the
Pacific Coal company was having troub
les of their own. The old officers of
tho company resigned nnd for a while
tho company was without a guiding
hand in tho porson of a presidont.
it tins boon this inlernnl strife that
hns dclnyod tho dcul, oIho the Sunrise
company would ho tho owners at tho
present time.
It looks at last, howover, ns If the
deal will soon bo consummated. Tho
Pacific Coal company is gotting Into
sliapo to deliver according to their con
tract.
In tho meantimo the Medford Coal
company nro sitting back nnd watching
the deal with a great deal of Interest.
TIiito is $2fi,000 coming to thorn In
April, and it is n soureo of spoculation
to thorn as to where their chock will
como from.
If anything should nriso to prevent
tho delivery of tho mine as provided
in tlio contract, it will probably mean a
lawsuit on tho part of Murphy against
tho Pncific Coal company.
Ho it hus simmered down to a point
whom it will cither menu a lawsuit or a
