Henry Green, a farmer residing two
and one-half miles west of Turner,
committed suicide last Friday after
noon by drinking the entire contents of
a two-ounce bottle of carbolic acid.
Several members of the famiiy were
with him when the act waa done and
Immediately called medical assistance,
but Green wns dead before the physi
cian arrived. After a thorough inves
tigation of the circumstances surround
ing the tragedy the coroner decided
that it was a plain case of suicide and
that an inquest was not necessary.
Four years ago Green had a Bcrioua
illness which seems to have left him
with a mental difficulty, at different
timer since his illness he had said that
he was going to kill himself.
Green had been a resident of the
Turner section about six years and waa
the owner of a good farm. He was
fifty-five years old and leaver a wife
and nine children, five boya and four
girls, one of whom is Mrs. Roy Mulli-
nix of Stayton.
Vernon Griddle, an employe at the
lumber mill of W. W. Little at Lyons,
met with a serious accident Thursday
afternoon. Griddle was working at the
log-haul, the machine used for draw
ing the logs into the mill. In some
manner his left hsnd was caught in the
cogs of the machine, and horribly
mangled. Dr. Beauchamp waa phoned
for, and upon dreasing the wound, the
physician brought the injured man to
Stayton for further treatment.
It waa found ncccaaary to amputate
the thumb and little finger. The rest
of the hand, though frightfully torn,
will heal, ns no infection has set in.
The bones of every finger, however,
were broken, and the mill man will pro
bably be laid up for two months with
the injury. The injured maw attaches
no blame on his employer for the acci
dent, aa the machine appears to have
been without danger when proper care
was used by the operator.
SUNDAY SERVICES
The subject of the morning sermon
at the Christian church will be “ The
Fi(ht of Faith." In t h e evening
the minister will deliver the first of
B iries of sermons on types and anti
types, the first subject of the series
hei ig, "The Gospel in Type and Anti
type.” These subject are among the
moat interesting in Bible study. Plan
to attend the services and hear these
addresses.
ICE CREAM STAND
J. A. Hendershott last week erected
a soft-drink and ice-cream stand under
the bleachers st the ball park. T h I
innovation proved a regular oaaia of
comfort for the half-baked fans w h o
filled the seaU last Sunday.
Considerable misapprehension is pre
valent among owners of stallions and
jacks, on the matter of advertising
their animals. For the convenience of
these men and the public in general we
have looked up the Oregon statutes
covering this |>oint, and reprint here
with two sections hearing on the mat
ter. They are taken from Chapter 216,
General Laws of Oregon.
Section 12. The owner of any stall
ion or jack standing for public service
in this State shall post and keep affixed
during the entire breeding season cop
ies of the license certificate of b u c h
stallion or jack issued under provisions
of this act in a conspicuous place upon
the main door leading to every stable
or building where said stallion or jack
stands for public service (breeding pur
poses). Said copies shall have the
words "I*ure Bred," "Cross Bred,”
"Grade,” or “ Mongrel," printed in
bold-faced type not less than one (1)
inch in height.
Every bill or poster used in advertis
ing the said stallion or jack shsil have
therein a copy of the license certifi
cate with the words "Pure Bred,”
"Cross Bred,” "Grade,” or "Mongrel”
printed in bold-faced type nut less than
one (1) inch in height.
Every n e w s p a p e r

ment o f s u c h stallion or jack
■hall have therein a copy of the license
certificate with the words “ Pure Bred,”
"< ross Bred,” "Grade,” or "Mongrel”
printed in conspicuous bold-faced type.
No bill, (Mister, or other advertisement
of such stallion or jack shall contain
illustration, pedigrees or other matter
that is in any way untruthful or mis
leading.
Section 27. Any person or persons
knowingly or willfully violating any of
the provisions of this act, shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than fifty
dollars ($50.00) nor more than t w o
hundred dollars($200.00), or by impris
onment for not less than thirty days or
more than six months, or by fine and
imprisonment for each offense.

W E L C H I N T E R E S T S TO
r BUILD INTO S T A VTON
TO ESTAB LISH CAMP
A railroad franchise for rights of way
on three Stayton streets was granted
to J. F. Mounce by the city council at
its special session last night. The
streets affected are Water, Ida and
Marion. In his application for a fran
chise, Mr. Mounce agrees to commence
actual construction work within ninety
days from the granting of the privilege,
and as Mayor Beauchamp has already
approved the measure, we may exoect
to see the dirt fly bstween here and
Salem before the middle of August.
Mr. Mounce, who has been for some
time projecting a line from Stayton to
the Capital City, further agrees to
complete his road within twenty-four
months from date. These provisior s
are incorporated in the franchise, and
failure to meet them will invalidate the
measure. The ordinance granting the
franchise will be posted for thirty days,
and may be repealed by referendum
should the people see fit to do so.
There is no possibility of this however,
as sentiment here has long been un
animous in favor of a road.
Street Improvement Amendment
An unusual amount of important
business came before the council last
night. Second only to the granting of
the franchise was the decision made to
submit to the vote of the people an
amendment to the City Charter provid
ing for a bonding system for street im
provement. Attorney Heltxel has been
working on the amendment for some
time, and the measure will be present
ed to the people in the form as finally
approved by the council last night.
Monday, June n th ., was set as the
time for the election. The amendment
will be printed in full in next week's
issue of The Mail, so that all may have
an opportunity to study its provisions.
Another action taken by the council
was the transfer of the saloon license
of T. B. Riggs to Martin Berg and
John Bailey, who have purchased the
business from Riggs.
