MEDFORD, Or., April 12. (Spe
cial.) The district attorney office
announced todav that a Kane of
masked and armed men captured
Henry Johnson of Jacksonville on the
road near that place late Sunday night
and. placine a noose around his necK,
demanded that he admit stealing
chickens. On his refusal to do so
Johnson was released and the crowd
fired a number of shots over the
fleeinsr man's head.
Alec Nurris, nis son-in-law, Mr.
Goodiner, garage man; Paul York,
aged 17 years, and Henry Johnson,
aged 22 years, all of Jacksonville, left
that city at 5 P. M. in an automobile
truck to get some machinery at Ash
land. They did not get the machinery
and were on their way home at 11
P. M., when near the Voorl-ies cross
ing their lights went out and a short
time later two cars in wnicn tn.re
were seven masked men approached
and held them up at the point of re
volvers. The men all wne flimsy
veils with eyeholes.
Rope Put Around Neck.
The masked band ordered Gooding
and Norris to drive farther up the
road. Then one of the men took
young Tork to one side, admonished
him to go to work and never be seen
with Johnson again. Five or six of
the others took Johnson away a short
distance and accused him of the
chicken stealing that had been going
on in Jacksonville. This Johnson
etoutly denied, whereupon his captors
shouted for a rope, whicn they put
around his neck and pulled taut.
Johnson still denied thai: he had
ever stolen chickens and then was
asked if he ever peddled liquor and if
he ever associated with any white
women. He also denied these impu
tations vehemently.
In the meantime the captors -had
gone through the motions of search
ing the automobile truck as if they
expected to find come moonshine
there.
Investigation Is Started.
Finally they asked Johnson, "Nig
ger, could you run?" and let him go
with " the warning to speed away.
Johnson is said to be an octoroon and
York is white.
This is the third time in the past
few weeks a masked and armed band
has terrorized the people of the Rogue
river valley.
County Prosecutor Moore and Sher
iff Tcrrill were busy investigating?
this case yesterday and today and
the government representative was
here investigating into the recent
Hale and Aaron Burr bluff attacks.
RAIL PROJECT DROPPED
Aortliern Pacific Will Abandon
Xortli Bank Extension.
ASTORIA, Or., April 12. (Special.)
A tew years ago the Northern Pa
cific Railway company spent a large
sum of money in making surveys and
getting rights-of-way for an exten
sion of its line from Kelso down the
north bank of the Columbia river to
Grays bay, as well as for a terminal
eite at the latter place.
Reports were current that the pro
jected' extension wastobe constructed
immediately and as a result specula
tors purchased large tracts of land
in the Grays bay district and as far
as known still hold it.
That the Northern Pacific has aban
doned its scheme of constructing the
talked-of extension, and will confine
its activities in the Columbia river
district to the south side of the river
is indicated by the fact that recently
It has disposed of sections of its
right-of-way to various individuals
and also has sold some of its holdings
at Grays bay.

POLICE WIDOWS REWED
FIREMEN'S WIVES DO XOT
tajLe SECOND MATES.
Investigator Discovers Work of
Officer Three Times More Dan
gerous Than Fire Fighter's,
LOS ANGELES. Cal., April 12.
Whether widows of policemen are
mnr attractive or more determined
to re-marry than are the widows of
firemen is a Question which is puz
zling Arthur Eldridge, Los Angeles
city efficiency director.
Regardless of what may be the so
lution, Mr. Eldridge declares statistics
prove widows of policemen do re
marry oftener than firemen's widows.
He learned this through tabulations
of casualties in the police and fire
departments of Los Angeles since the
pension system was established in
1913.
Since 1913 36 policemen have been
killed in the performance of their
duty. In the same period ten firemen
were killed fighting fires. B
Of the 36 widows of policeTnen, nine
have remarried,' while not one of the
widows of the ten firemen has
chosen a new mate.
Mr. Eldridge says his figures show
the life of a policeman is more than
three times as hazardous as that of
a fireman.
CAMPUS RALLY ARRANGED
RATE AGREEMENT LOOMS
LINES TO ASK INTERSTATE
BODY FOR HEARING.
Abolition of Less Than Carload
Commodity Charges on Puget
Sound Is at Issue.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 12. Possi
ble settlement of the controversy be
tween shippers of the Puget sound
district and railroads over the aboli
tion by the latter of less than carload
commodity rates to Grays Harbor and
Willapa bay points was Indicated as
prospect today, when representa
tives of the roads announced they had
agreed to ask the interstate commerce
commission for a rehearing on a rui
ng which prevented the same rates
being put in effect from Portland, Or.
Because the rates could not be made
effective from Portland, the roads de
clined to make them effective from
Seattle or Tacoma.
The original ruling held that to
permit the roads to put the rates into
ffect from Portland would be a viola-
ion of the long and short haul clause
of the transportation act.
