To Connect Cities Of The
Rogue River Valley
At the next meeting of the city coun­
cil an application will be made for a
franchise for an electric railroad, part
of an interurban trolley system to con­
nect the cities of the Rogue River
Valley*
Who is back of the scheme is not
made public, but Dr. J. F. Reddy au­
thorizes the statement that application
will be made by him and that later an­
nouncements will be forthcoming as to
who the interested parties are.
It is rumored that either J. R. Allen,
owner of the Pacific & Eastern, or the
Palmer Investment company are the
financial interests back of the franchise
application, though there is no author­
ity for the assertion.—Tribune.

now 198.

BREAKS JAIL
Six Prisoners Confined in the County
Jail Make Escape Friday Evening-
Two are Recaptured Near Ashland
--Walsworths and Boosey Remained
Six inmates of the county jail at this place effected
a general delivery during the temporary absence of the
jailer Friday evening.
The prisoners had been allowed in the corrider of
the jail while the jailer went to his supper and took ad­
vantage of his absence to make an escape through a win­
dow, the bars of which were removed by the prisoners
thus opening a way to liberty. Oftthe escaping prisoners,
three were the men accused of the burglary of Deuel &
Kentner’s store at Medford, one was charged with larceny
from the person and the other two had been committed
to await the action of the grand jury for the alleged
butchering of a calf. The two last mentioned were cap­
tured near Ashland and returned to the jail Monday
morning.
The two Walsworths and Mr. Boosey were also in
the jail at the time the others escaped and could easily
have gotten away had they so desired but instead of
leaving they gave the alarm by yelling lustily for the
officers.

The late breakaway of the Oregon
convicts turns out to have been a fool's
errand. One dead, another dying, two
seriously wounded, and the fifth back
in the prison, is the record to date.
The living will have abundant time to
repent the folly of their act, and the
dead be beyond the pale of human
prisons and penalties.
Though frequently successful, es­
capes are far more difficult than in a
former time. The fugitive of to-day
has to run the gauntlet of the telegraph
and the rural phone. He has to play
the game against the telltale photo­
graph, and probably what is the great­
est handicap of all, the daily news­
paper. The latter goes into almost
every home, carrying tidings of the
fugitive’s offense, giving the direction
of his flight, and often displaying pic­
tures of the man. It keeps the people
along the path of flight completely
warned, and throws out many an ob­
stacle to bar the way of escape. The
crime of the morning and its sequel of
flight is recounted throughout the four
quarters in the evening, and the whole
population warned to be on the lookout.
The swift automobile for pursuit is still
another new agency, and the aggregate
of it all is that crime and flight have
become a mighty desperate business,
to be undertaken only by those who
have illy reckoned on the chances of
success and failure.—Journal.

Harry Dollarhide was accidentliy crush­
ed to death while stopping on the pilot
of the engine of the Weed Lumber
Company’s train, of which he was the
conductor. He was 34 years of age,
born at Jacksonville, and comes from a
prominent family which is well known
throughout this county. In addition to
a wife and two small children, the de­
ceased leaves a father and mother and
several brothers and sisters to mourn
his untimely death. He was a cousin
of Mrs. Jas. Zeigler, of Ashland, and
she, together with numerous other re­
latives and friends, attended the funer­
al services which were held at Horn­
