Wo think of the bow and urrow as medieval weapons of war abandoned by the tuitions of Europe four -or Ave centuries ago. The bowmen of Crecy are the lust of any prominence in Eng lish history. Yet it Is only about 100 years since soldiers foJgbt with bows and arrows In European wura. and that, too, on the fields of southern Bel gium. It was in 1813. when all Europe was armed agalnHt Nnixjleon. Every one of the allied nations brought every poxsl ble resource of men and means to fur ther this end. Among them was Rus sia. To the war she sent soldiers from tbe newly conquered tribes that dwelt upon tbe steppes of Aula Bokharnns nnd Turkomans nnd Tartars and other half snvnge peoples. Many of these regiments were armed with bows and arrows. Jomlnl, the military historian, speaks of a rent number of these that fought side by side with tbe Prussians in eustern Germany and In Belgium, and he says tlmt these bowmen held tbelr own against the French infantry. Tbelr aim, he says, was surprisingly good, and they could shoot un arrow with effect almost as far as a muRket ball was effective, but In those days that was not much more than 100 yards. Exchange.

Cold Spell Causes Trouble The cold spell in the early morn ing hours of Tuesday was responsi ble for a very troublesome freeze-up in the gas company's pipes near Phoenix, thereby causing a good deal of trouble for a few of the establish ments about town, such as the print ing offices (who depend on gas to make the wheels go round), hotels, candy shops, laundry, etc. Tbe accident was caused through the allowing of the pressure to drop so that the water in the pipes settled to the lowest point and froze, there by cutting off the supply. This is tbe first accident that has happened to the system for many months. Life Sketch Of Arthur Hubbard (By Lynn Mowat.) The first basketball game of the season took place before a crowd composed mostly of students, in the Ashland high gymnasium on last Fri day afternoon. The Talent high school sent up both girls' and boys' teams and Principal Peter Spencer of the neighboring town must bo giv en great credit ror the teams he has turned out from the limited material at hand. The girls' game resulted in a vic tory for the home guard by a Bcore of fifteen to nine. The only part of the game in which the Ashland girls excenca was, in basket throwing. where they had the visitors out classed. Eunice Grubb and Char lotte Chappell were the stars for Ash land, each annexing three baskets. Alta Scott for Talent threw the same number. The lineup: Talent Ashland Scott L.P Grubb Bell R.F Chappell Finley c Bomar Smith L.G Gearheart Withrow rt.G Mathes Referee Lance Briscoe. The boys' game proved a surprise to both the Ashland spectators and players. The visiting team proved to bo a husky aggregation and the team of midgets which Coach Klum first pent against them could only hold them down to two baskets in the first ten minutes of play. The regular second team then went In and was hardly more successful, and towards the end of the first half the red and white stripes of the first team made their welcome appearance. The first lined up with Fraley and Grispz at forwards, Harris at Center and I'lymate and Lilly guards. Even this bunch failed to slow the Talent boys up to any noticeable extent and it was well into the second half be fore the old machine began to work and the ball started rolling into the basket with machine-like regularity. The game ended with the score forty to twelve In Ashland's favor and the Talent boys still fighting. The visit ors lined up with Reynolds and Keith at the forward positions, Pace at cen ter and Bentley and Beeson guards. i and Arthur Hubbard was born at Red ding California February fourteenth, 1877, and was approaching the age of thirty-eight years. Nine years ago he was married to Miss Dora Long, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Long of Ashland, and leaves her with two small children to" mourn his loss. He was a. son of R. C. Hubbard of this city and one of a family of eleven children. His mother died ' sixteen years ago. Tbe children who survive to mourn with the father are Ralph and Miss Carrie Hubbard and Mrs. F. F. Nelson of Ashland, Maurice and D. A. Hubbard of Sacramento Cali fornia, Mrs. Gr. ce Watson of Seattle and Mrs. Sylva High of Astoria. The deceased came to Ashland from Slsson California with his fath er in 1902. For a time he followed his father's profession of a contract ing carpenter and later went into the forestry service. For the past three years he has been connected with the state fish and game service. Less than a year ago he joined Ashland Lodge No. 944, B. P. O. Elks, and as a member of that order waa general ly popular. Interment was made in Mountain View Cem3tery with ritualistic ser vices at the grave. The pallbearers were S. Patterson, J. A. Bailey, R. P. Cornelius, W. B. Pracht, R. U. Cam bers, F. Jordan. We have Improved our pack ing method. We " guarantee S parcel post delivery in perfect condition.

CROWSON'S. s Cattle Rustling Creates Feeling A case of considerable interest was closed in circuit court at Klamath Falls Thursday when a Jury came in after thirty-five minutes'.deltberatlon with a verdict acquitting' Will Sims, O., Chandler end Ivan Ernest of cat tle rustling. It will be remembered thai in the summer of 1918 an outfit of broncho busters - known as the "Sims-Chandler Wild West Show" put on an exhibition in Medford arid tried to get the high school athletic field for an exhibition in Ashland. They went Into California from here and a few days later Sims and Chand ler and Ernest were arrested on the charge of stealing a cow. They were taken back to Klamath county and the show was broken up. The case has i since divided the populace of Northern Klamath couuty and has al most developed a feud. Sims and Chandler and Ernest are homestead ers. Their accusers are cattlemen- the' principal ones being Jim John son and R. M. Osborn. The defense charged that the accused were vic tims of a well-laid plot to convict tbeni' of something they never did. The hide and head of tbe cow were dug up neftr the cabin of Rims. The defense argued that they were "plant ed there for the purpose of convict ing the accused, and the Jury took that view of it. Grover Neil, for- meiiy or Ashland, was an important witness in rofutfng the evidonce of Floyd Brandenburg a rancher who claimed he saw a light at tbe Sims place in the fall of 1913 whllo the wild west outfit was alleged to be in California. Mr. Nell and others dem onstrated by experiment that Bran denburg couid not have seen a light there from the point where he claimed he was etandlnj at the time. The case has engendered much bitter feeling. , . 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 M 1 1 M I 'M ttHg New Year I Greetings EALTH mattes for Happiness, Happiness is always enhanced with music.
