FOREST RANGERS DEER POACHERS Complaints Lead to investigation by Game Wardens, Who Secure Convincing Evidence. That forest rangers are the worst slayers of deer out of season is the complaint of many ranchers, who at lege that a few of the rangers busy themselves, when not spying on homesteaders and starting contests by illegnly shooting deer. So frequent were the complaints, that Game Warden Chas. Gay and Sam Sandry made a visit to Brown's cabin, on Union Creek, the hcadtiunr tors of the rangers, and secured ev idence sufficient to convict at least one ranger and possibly two, for shooting deer out of season. The mutter was reported to Dis trict Atorney Mulkcy, who advised that complaints be Hied before the justice of tho peace and tho case tried out. They will be filed in the next day or two. pending which, the names will not be made public. W. S.

Hanley Attorneys ignore pro , ceedure. Engineers Rob ertsand Worthingson only witnesses examined. Med ford council to pass war rant at once and judgment to be entered by court. The jury in the case of the Citv of Medford vs. M. C. Hanley, Wednes day afternoon at 3:15 o'clock award ed VanlffV rismaiwc in thn cum nf $600 for right-of-way for the gravity pipe une across nis Butte Creek farm. The city had previously offered a larger sum. The jury retired at 11:1.0 o'clock to consider the amount of damages to no awarded. At 10 o'clock Judge Coke opened court and the city placed Engineers W. J. Roberts and Irving Worthing-' ton on the stand. They testified that the right-of-way wonld be 30 feet in width and about two miles in length, that the hill land crossed was worth about $10 per acre, and the bottom land $100. They stated that the trench could be refilled and the land not mnterinly damaged bv the con struction of the pipe line. JNo evidenco was ottered by the de fense, and it is evidently Hanley's in tention to follow one of the courses indicated in the Tribune, presumably to, tic the matter up by injunction pproceodings, until opinion is render ed by the supreme court, hoping thin to force the city to accept his terms. The jury spent Thursday in visit ing the Hanley ranch and going over the proposed right-of-way. The breakdown of an nuto delayed their return. -' Modford's city council met Wed nesday afternoon and unon receipt of the jury's verdict a warrant will be .passed for the amount of money awarded.
