Busy Night For
Cops and Docs
It was a busy night for the police
force and the doctors of Ashland.
Four knights of the road met with
various mishaps which ended with
rourm street ponco station iasi
night.
B:mer C. Pnrlgus of Salt Lake City
had the narrowest squeak of the
bunch. Elmer and his partner, A.
Peterson of Chico, Cal., arrived in
Ashland from the south with a glori
ous celebration on Tho: ere all
irritated up on northern California
cooking liquids so drunk In ifact,
that vhtn Elmer climbed out of the
box car which had been his refuge
for the night he fell off pnd lit on
bis head on the hard iron rails thir
teen feet below. He managed to roll
off the track so that the switch en
gine would not run over him. and
then, firmly believing that his head
was cracked In two, lapsed Into un
consciousness. He was found a little
later and taken to the Fourth street
station and a hurry call sent for Dr.
Swedcnburg. A unmber cf hoboes
were deputized by the chie. of police
as stretcher carriers and were kept
busy for some time in rrud up to
tbelr knees. This morning Timer has
a peach of a black eye and Is swelled
up around the head, but 13 all right
otherwise.
Elmer's partner, Peterson, was
found lying between the tracks In a
state of .intoxication such as only
white mule and whiskey mixed could
produce. Ho also was carted in the
stretcher to the police station.
Then James Kellogg arrlvc-d on the
scene. Kcllogg's home is in Turlock,
Cal., and he is all in, down and out.
After Dr. Swe-denburg had done w hat
he could to alleviate the man's suf
fering from a complication cf disease,
he was sent to tbe county hospital.
Last came Fete Pedro ot Marys
vllle, Cal. Pete had undergone an
operation for appendicitis up ln Spo
kane and bad started fo

the box car route anoui mumu ,
earlier than he should. When he
arrived in Ashland he who nearly
dead and was taken in charge by Dr.
Jarvis.
The fifteen or twenty other hoboes
who were here last night vere all in
fair health.
This Weather Won't
Last For Always
Even although a little snow falls
ns late as this, this wet weather won't
last all summer and everr resident

he word of the day. and all m'ght
do well to take a look down cellar to !
se whether' that hose wi!i stand the
Ashland water pressure ler another
summer. If it shows s'gns cf cracks
and tender places, better trot down
to Warner's hose salo and rM In your j
order so as to get advantaae of the ,
unusually low prices which Warner is i
offering at present. Mr. Warner has i
a plan by which anyone making a

Thinks Artillery
Will Be Called
Eugene Register: That the coast
artillery corps of the Oregon National
Guard is expected to be called out
for service immediately lifter con
gress declares that a state of war ex
ists is the opinion of Colonel C. C.
Hammond, commanding the corps.
The Third infantry regiment of the
state troops was called Hit by the
President Sunday night, r.nd while
it Is not known what disposition will
be made of these troops. Colonel
Hammond is of the opinion that they
will be used for the present to guard
bridges and government rroperty.
The members of tho two companies
of coast artillery located here are on
the qui vive and are anxious for a
cajll to arms. According o previous
orders, the corps will bo taken to
Fort Stevens, at the month of the
Columbia, for mobilization, and of
ficers here thihk that they vill event
ually lie taken to some of the Atlan
tic coast forts.
Colonel Hammond in discussing
the probable disposition 0 the coast
artillery said: "The cons artillery
men will undoubtedly be tint to the
forts where there wUl be advantages
which the Infantry will not be able
to enjoy. The forts In nearly every
Instance are located near krge cities
;and the men will always bt quartered
'in comfortable bulldines. Thev will
alwavs be in touch with civilization.
"
while the infantry will probably be
as far as location and convenience
are concerned."
