Over the County
William W. Renter, a p ominen
pioneer and vittran cl the ea: ly Inuii.n
wars of Southern Oregon, died at Ash
land last Saturday, aged 79, Mr.
Kent nor, who was a w> g >n-maker by
trade, was a native oi Illinois, anil
cant ? to th.* Pacific Coast in 185J, first
settling in Yreka, andtngaging in min
ing for a number of years n the then
rich placer fields of Northern Cali
fornia. He located at Ashland in ISt'O
and has eve* since resided there, highly
respected. A wife, who was Miss
Sarah Millian, also of a well-known
pioneer fa nily of this section, survives
him, besides a daughter, Mrs. Ida
Ward, who resides near San Franisco.
The body of the late Dr. Claude
Hoover, after being in the water three
days, was found Sunday by a diver who
came for that purpose from Portland.
It was brought to Midford for burial,
the services being held in the Baptist
church Tuesday afternoon by Rev. W.
T. Van Scoy, who was th* deceased
man’s preceptor in former years. A
large number paid their last r. s| ectstu
h m who but a few dajs before prom
ised to be souseful a member of soeiety
and the ] rofessional world.
The coroner's jury inquiring into the
death of the Ba. tist evange.ist. Rev.
Chas. 1.. Engle, a passenger on an S.
P. train last Sunday evening, at C.aw-
son, returned a verdict that he came to
his death by falling or jumping out of
the car window ar.d being crushed by
the rear wheels of the car, and that so
far as the evidence submitted indicated
there was no one to blame in connection
with the affair. Although there was
some fifty passengers in the car no one
was found to testify who saw the man
jump out of the window. The report
that the car had a hot box which
caused the wheels to jump the rail, was
disputed by the evidence of the train
men who gave as a possible reason for
the accident the slipping of a tire.
Senator L. I.. Mulit while in San-
Francisco last week made a tender to
the S. P. Land Agent of the gold coin
for the purchase price of railroad lands
in Jackson county by four persons and
presented their applications to pur
chase, for filing. Mr. Mulit reports
that he was courteously received but
that the company through its represen
tatives declined the money and also as
has been their rule declined to file the
applications, which however, he left
in the office.
A new time card has gone into effect
on the Southern Pacific which makes a
few changes in passenger train sched
ules. The principal change is in the
arrival of No. 12, which is now sched
uled to arrive nearly two hours later
from the south, arriving in Medford at
5:45 a. m. This wili be quite a con
venience for people in the valley. No.
14’s schedule arriving at 10:32 a. m. is
unchanged and No. 16's time is not af
fected. 5:09 p. m. The only change in
trains from the north is in No. 13,
which is now scheduled to arrive here
at 12:45 p. m. The new schedule calls
for the continued arrival of No. 15 at
10:32 and No. 11 at 11:45 a. m.
Two peculiar accidents, resulting in
a useless loss of life, took place at Ash
land last Sunday. The one in which a
car inspector was killed is the subject
for official inquiry. While the train
was standing at the station the inspec
tors, as in their custom, were making
the round of the train, when the fore
man discovered a defect in the air brake
draught irons and informed a fellow* em
ploye that he would attend to it. The
employe having finished his tour of
inspection informed the train crew
that all was clear as far as he was
concerned aid the trail pulled cut, <?-
