35-year-old boy, charged with the

Jury
Last July Lillian Lenthold. aged 18,
,wasfound murdered near Bandon. She
had been visiting at the home of Rev.
Mr. Jennings and evidently on return
ing to the home of her parents was
waylaid on the trail through the
woods over which she usually passed.
She had been shot twice, a bullet
through her head, which had been
fired at close range, causing death.
The- body had been dragged into the
brush and concealed and was found
the day after the girl left the Jen
nings home.
The chief feature of the evidence
in the case against the Howell boy
is the bullet taken from the girl's
head. It i3 peculiarly marked and
the prosecution claims that it could
only have been marked by Harold
Howell's gun, which originally was a
.22, "but which had been bored out to
shoot a .25-caliber bullet.
The defense claims there are other
rebored guns and produced them in
' evidence in the previous trials. After
several clews had been followed with
out .result, and a special detective
employed, Harold Howell was arrest
ed and indicted for the"crlme.

Child Who Ran Away to Live With
Father in Portland, Loses
Local Case.
Flossie Orchard. 15, will return with
her mother to Yakima, Wash., by a
decision by Circuit Judge Tazwell
yesterday granting the writ of habeas
corpus demanded by Mrs. Lena East,
the mother, for the return of the child
from the home of her divorced father,
J. E. Orchard of Portland, and her
paternal grandmother, Mrs. Josephine
Orchard.
"I won't go, I won't, I won't!" was
the manner in which the girl greeted
the decision ol the judge. The court
assured her that she would, regard
less of her personal' antipathy to "her
mother.
"The superior judge at Takima gave
you to your mother at the time of the
divorce several years ago," said Judge
Tazwell. "He is in full possession of
all the facts in your case. If any mod
ification in his order is desired you
may see him about it. I would sug
gest that you take it up with him, for
it is in his province, not mine, to de
cide what is best for your welfare."
ine court said that he aid not iook
with favor on the girl's running away
from her mother's home last Novem
ber, coming to her father in Portland,
and never telling her mother her
whereabouts. As to the attentions
from men which the child had said
her mother encouraged, most of the
girl's testimony had concerned affairs
years past and were not held to be
present evils. If they were, he held
it was for the Yakima court to decide
the custody of the child.
While waiting for the papers and
orders to be signed the girl sat on a
bench in the courtroom as far away
from her mother as she could get,
glaring at Mrs. East.
GIANT TIMBER AMAZES
Swedisb Investigator to Look Over
Oregon Woods.
Oregon trees don't look much like
those of his native land to Henrik
Carbonnier of Hanaskog, Sweden,
who is passing several days at the
.Benson while investigating timber
conditions and methods of handling.
"At home we are using our 6econd
growth," he explained."and the larg
est trees are only up to 20 inches.
Most of the logs are around 10 inches
on the small end. Pine, spruce and
Bott woods- make up the forests. To
prevent devastation of the forests the
Swedish government has made laws
which prevent privately-owned land
irom Deing carelessly stripped of
trees. Timbermen are required to re
forestate their logged-off land un
less the wood is cut so that the for
ests can reproduce naturally."
Mr. Carbonnier has been sent to the
united btates and Canada by the gov
ernment rorestry department. He
will visit the Wind River nursery be-
iors . leaving roruana ror the south.
Next month he expects to return to
Sweden.

"'When the blood becomes thin a
train of trouble is set in motion. In
time almost every organ in the body
becomes affected, the nerves are up
set, indigestion develops and life be
comes miserable because of head
aches, dizzy spells, insomnia, weak
ness and sometimes rheumatisnr-and
neuralgia. '
Do not neglect the blood but build
it up with the tonic which Mrs.
Charles Burwell, of No. 302 Lyon
street, Flint, Mich., used and now
recommends. She says:
"My blood became so weak aid
thin that X was on the verge of a
breakdown. I had lost a great deal of
strength and was very pale. My hands
sometimes became numb. It was a
great effort for me to move about. I
suffered from headaches and dizzy
spells. In sp-'te of the medicines I
took I grew worse and one . sickness
followed another. I worried a great
deal and became melancholy.
"I have head of Dr.: Williams' Pink
Pills ever sine I was a little girl and
when I saw them advertised finally
decided to try them. Two weeks
after I began taking the -pills I felt so
much better that 1 knew that I had
at last founA the right remedy.!
Gradually my strength returned. . , My
appetite improved, the headaches bea
came less frequent and then disap
peared. My color is good now for "my
blood is rich and plentiful and I "feel
better than I have in a long time.
