Coppack Writes of Arizona Residence t ( Medford Mail Tribune) Louis Dodge, of Ashland, who shot and killed Henry Olson Saturday night, mistaking the latter for a deer, was arraigned in Justice Taylor’s court this afternoon on a complaint sworn out by Prosecutor Kelly charging him with manslaughter. The defendant waived examination and was hound over to the grand jury on $1000 bail bond, which was furnished by the defendant’s father and E- A. Estes. Carelessness upon th? part of Louis Dodge of Ashland caused the ! death of Henry Olson on Elk creek i ias‘ Saturday evening, when he was , , hot fhrongh the heart for a decrt according to the verdict of the cor- oner’s jury, held al the Perl undei - taking establishment this morning. The verdict is as follows: “We, the coroner’s jury, find that Henry Olsen was a native of Wiscon sin, age 23 years, a::’ that he came to his death from a gur •' it wound from a gun in the hands of Louis Dodge of Ashland, carelessly fin d .” “Carelessly fired” was substituted for “carelessness” upon the grounds it was a softer term. The jury was composed of A. N Lofland, Al Garrettson, C. IL Her man. Fred Burk, F. C. Clayville and W. A. Malley. Startlin g Evidence Startling evidence was introduced at the hearing. Three witnesses tes tified that the dead man was not over thirty-five feet away from Dodge when he fired the fatal shot, and that it was practically open country. H. 0. Childreth of Eagle Point testified that Olson must have been visible “from the knees up.” Dodge testified the distance' was forty or fifty feet, the country noises in the woods. brushy and that he was guided by Dodge, showing plainly the heavy nervous strain, testified that he had heard deer in the brush around the camp fire where he was cooking sup per. He said he heard the chug- chug of the hoofi% and before he fired saw plainly the outline of a buck, horns and all. He ran to see the result and found Olson near the trail. Dodge Close to Victim Merle Willits, a young man of Per sist, testified that he had measured ‘ho distance between the camp fire where Dodge was cooking and where Jlson fell and that it was nine rifle lengths. The rifle was thirty-eight inches long. He said that Olson in traveling from the Twin Licks, where Olson left Estes, the third man in the party, he had taken the most natural route to reach camp. He testified there was no obstruction be tween Dodge and Olson, except bare fir limbs. E. A. Estes, a member of the party, testified that it was his first experience in the mountains, and that he went to sleep at the Twin Licks, being tired, while Olson hunted. He was awakened by a shot, and then heard Dodge yell for help. He rushed down the trail and found Ol son. Coroner Kellogg attached consid erable importance to the brush in the neighborhood of the shooting, and Al Garrettson on the jury proposed that the jury make a trip to the seen«, of thq tragedy to investigate the con ditions. Prosecutor Kelly said that the brush cut no figure, and that it was not necessary for the coroner’s jury to go into the fine points to de termine the cause of death.
