out to the mass meeting at the
opera house Tuesday night, and
the greatest interest was manifest­
ed in the various things which were
taken up. Every committee report
indicated progress.
The garden
row sidewalk committee reported
that work was already liegun on
the new walk which i« to save them
wading mud hereafter. The dis­
cussion of the proposed new bridg-
abe, was long drawn out. and re­
sulted in a decision to set a “bridge
day,” which will occur while the
county court is in session ami on
which it will lie the purpose for
everyone in Gold Hill to go Jack­
sonville and help advance t b e good
cause of getting a uiod-rn l-ridge in
place of the antiquated and danger­
ous present structure.
Charged with leaving fire at their
camp on Elk creek, where they
were hunting last August, W. P.
Bailey and J . L. Moore were arrested
by Deputy United States Marshal
T. E. Hammersly last week and
taken to Medford before U. 8. Com­
missioner Canon, where they
pleaded not guilty. They were
released on bouda of $750 each to
appear before the Uuited States
grand jury in March. C. F
Young and L. L. Duffield went
Moore's bonds, and W. H. Harvey
and A.J. Olsen guaranteed Bailey’*.
Both men are experienced woods­
men,and their friends here consider
it impossible that they should
lie guilty as charged. They helped
the rangers fight fire when on Elk
creek, and it is thought that they
must have incurred the enmity of
some of the khaki-coats, hence the
tbe charges against them.
Harry F. Murray, who published
Ths News for three months just
prior to the advent of the present
publisher to Gold Hill, has come
back, too. He went from here to
Ashland, where he started a job
shop and built up a splendid busi­
ness, but his feet got to itching for
the hills and his fingers for the
pan, so he suddenly sold out for a
good figure, came to Gold Hill,
traded his trotting horBe to John
Hammersly for two burros, loaded
them with grub and tools, and
set out for Cresoent City. He pros­
pected in that dietriot, and has a
fine copper-gold olairo that he calls
the “ Monte Chrieto.” But he came
back to Gold Hill, as they all do,

Ed Bolt are called upon to testify
on this point. However, Mr. Murray
