Neighbors Step in and Save
Life of Sick Wife.
A Remarkable Success
At Portland,
Medford Ore., June 14.
Neighbors interrupted Fred A. Hend
ricks in an attack on his sick wife last
night, and perhaps saved her life.
Hendricks, on returning home, order
ed his wife to arise from her bed and
prepare his supper. She built the fire
and was engaged in the task, when
Hendricks began abusing her. Her en
deavors to pacify him came to naught
and he finally caught and choked her
until she became unconscious.
Neighbors interupted and when med
ical assistance reached the scene the
wife was found to be in a precarious
condition, although it is stated today
that Mrs. Hendricks will live. Mr. and
Mrs. Hendricks are both part Indian.
The case has been turned over to the
county officials by the city police. —Ex.

About 12:30 Monday afternoon fire
was discovered in a barn located on the
Sims property in Central Point and in
a very few minutes the barn as well as
a nearby dwelling was in flames and
beyond all possible hopes of saving.
The flames quickly spread to other

and Mrs. Hensley, togather with four
barns were entirely destroyed.
The total loss U is said will exceed
$10,000. the only incurance carried was
$600. on the Jones house and contents.
Nearly all the contents of the buildings
were saved.
There was a high wind blowing at
the time and much snrprise is express

stroyed as the place is witnout any
water system and has no organized fire
department, but almost the entire pop

An appeal for assistance was tele

It is stated that the fire was started
by some children playing in one of the

warning to parents and others of the
danger and risk incurred by allowing
children access to matches.
