IViK Eoonl Talent Production Has As
sumoxl Proportions of Great Musi
cal Attrnclion Much Fun, Much
Anproeiable Music and 'Wholesome
Enjoyment Assured.
Under the skillful hand of J. H.
Mac Lennan, the rough edges of the
big amateur production, "Sunny South
Minstrels." are rapid'.y being planed
dwn, and the finished commercialized
article wi'.l be given to the patrons of
the play Saturday night. Mr. Mac
Lennan, as interlocutor, is the pivot
about which the whole entertainment
revolves, nnd the fact that he acts in
such a capacity, is in itself assurance
of a superior attraction, as he has had
much experience in the past ten
years in fraternal circles .in organiz
ing and directing similar affairs.
Mrs. Anna Z. Crayne, too, has
been working assiduously In her ef
forts to reproduce on the stage the
scenes of her childhood in the sunny
south, and the olio will be charged
with the essense of darktown hilarity
as the result of her labor to this end.
However, there will be other features
besides those savoring of Ethopia,
prominent among which will be im
portation from old Ireland, In which
four winsome couleens and four counr
try' gallants will introduce some of
the favorite steps of the residents of
the Emerald Isle. Another number
distinctly of the hit variety will be
the waltz of the woodpeckers, where
in four of the airiest of young ladies
disguised as these familiar birds, will
flutter through a few graceful gyra
tions and at the same time give an
exhibition of knocking as it is done
by the feathered denizens of the
woods. Other features of especial
note will be the song numbers of
Pendleton's pedagogical quartet,
Messrs. Welles, Akers, Landers and
Owen, the "planology" portrayal
singing specialties, and clever imper
sonations of Jack Keefe, Weston's en
tertainer extraordinary, and the solo
selections of the city's best vocal tal
ent, whose names alone are a suffi
cient guarantee of excellence.
I'.elow is printed the entire person
nel of the cast of musical artists and
mirth producing geniuses.

ii:i)ri)i:i) claims patkkxity
of m:v state iie.
I Medford, Ore. Local leaders in the
' movement to create a new state out
iof northern California and southern
Oregon, when shown dispatches from
j California unfavorable to the project
j today stated that as soon as possible
ithiy would start an active campaign
' to. call attention to the advantages to
I lit- derived from the creation of the
i new state.
i The movement originated in Med
ford some months ago and has since
been indorsed by many commercial
bodies and men in all walks of life.
I: was brought about through the
seemingly inability of the territory
embraced in the new state to secure
any recognition by either state or na
tional legislative bodies. Northern
California, it is claimed, has long
been neglected, while southern Ore
grin says it Is impossible to get a na-
jtional appropriation for any part of
the state that does not border on the
Columbia river.
I At a meeting of the Medford Com
I mercial club, the largest body of its
ikind in Oregon outside of Portland,
! a mention of the proposed new state
brought about a wild demonstration
on the part of the 800 men present,
which lasted many minutes. Local
ieaders in the movement are claiming
today that the sentiment expressed at
this representative gathering Is uni
veral throughout southern Oregon.

ScttU-d at Athena in 1871 Tiiklng up
llonicsen,l Wlirro Town Now
Stamls President of P.ank and
Former I.eUlalor Funeral To-
1IIOITUW.
T. J., Kirk, the prominent Athi na
farmer, former member of the h -N-lalure
and presirent of the First Na
tional bank of Athena, died at his
home in that place at 3:4,' yister'av
afternoon. Death was the r.sult of
chronic livr trouble combined with a
severe cae of grip. Though suff' r
itig from a cold the deceased v as up
on the streets of Athena but a f w
days before his death. However hi"
eonditictn became' serious yesterday
morning and he grew worse rapidly
t.ntil the end came during the after
nooji. T. J. Kirk was a native of Missouri
and he was TO years of age when he
dud. He crossed the plains and set
tled in Linn county, Oregon, in 1S4P.
He moved to this county in 1ST1 and
took up a homestead claim when
Athena now stands. Since that time
he has resided constantly In t'matilia
county and became a wealthy and In
fluential man. He served two terms
as a representative in the Oregon
legislature and three years ngo was
candidate for state senator against
Dr. C. J. Smith. However he was de
feated in that race. u
The deceased is survived by his
wife and three daughters, one of the,
daughters Is Mrs. Ed Koontz of Ath
ena, another being Mrs. Eli Ackles of
Portland, while the third lives at
White Salmon. He was married twice, ,
his first wife and the mother of his
daughters having been dead for some '
years.
For many years the deceased was a
prominent member of the Masons
and at the funeral service which is :
to be held tomorrow they will have
charge" of the ceremonies.- The fun- :
eral is to be held from the M. E.
church at Athena at 1:30 tomorrow,
afternoon. The sermon will be by '

picture runnine on the screen for the ;
benefit of the Jury.
Put this morning with the spot
light a-brilliant white they put a fig
ure on the screen and permitted the
Jury and interested spectators to look
to their heart's content. The wife of
the defendant took the stand and tes
tified In detail as to this mysterious 1
third person. Pho had seen him
Roifo. he looked very much like the
defendant. Ho had about the same
color of hair, it might have been a :
little lighter, his statue was nbout the
"nic. end this man was in IMio at
th's- time the defendant and the un
fortunate RlbnU was there. Where '
! th'! man now? .-k Sherlock
Holmes.
The wife of the defendant, also tes- .
t'f!cd positively that on th" afternoon
of Tuesday, the 22d day of Novem- i
b r. In the year of our Lord inn!, she 1
saw the defendant In thp kliehen of
the hotel vher she was worklmr In j
Echo about 3 or 4 o'c lock In the af- ;
Hrnoon And this is the afternoon;
v lo p, the defendant i supposed to
leiv been lading out on the road to
the govern merit dam with the murder- j
i-d man. .She pays he was in the j
ki'c'ncii at that time, but as yet the,
defence has put no oth'-r witness on j
the stand who saw the defendant
about Echo that afternoon. She
was alone in the kitchen when the de
fendant was In there.
To r' hut this and refute it the state
yesterday afternoon put three wit
nesses on the stand who positively
identified the defendant as being one
of the two men on horseback riding
out on the road from Echo toward
the government dam. fine of the
witnesfieM testified that the defend
ant came down to his house, a little
ways off the road, and inquired of the
way to (he government dam, The
other man nays that the defendant
stopped him on the road and Inquired
the way to the government dam. This
wan about six miles out from Echo.
These witncHsen were satisfied In their
own minds that the defendant was the

man who talked to them and that the
other man was RlbalL
The court house was crowded and
jammed early this morning by an ea
ger, interested house, anticipating that
the defendant would go on the stand
in his own behaff as the .state an
nounced yesterday afternoon that with
the examination of one witness th.8
morning they would rest But the
defendant was not put on the stand
immediately. This did not deter the
crowd. They hung on, crowding the
benches and standing up two and
.three deep about the wails.
The defense put a Miss Xissen on
trie ."tan 1 who testified that she mw
li.e defendant wait ng on the rail
road track as he claims he did wait
for the return of the horses. Hut
M s ..ingiieii;er and her cousin who
wen- out riding that afternoon says
that they saw two men ride horse
back across the track out on the res
ervoir road and that they didn't see
tin in s'.op to exchange horses any
place near the railroad track, al
though Attorney Peterson wanted to
know of Mrs. Longnecker if there
might Led have been that mysterious
third person stand ng around the re
si me w here and that she didn't sea
him, Mrs. Longnecker admitted that
she wasn't looking lor any mysterious
third person, but stated positively that
there was ii. . person around within
25 or 30 steps of the road or on the
railroad :rack at that time.
Kvery'.ody is waiting with almost
breathless expectancy for the defend
ant to take the stand, as Attorney Pe
terson said he would do in his open
ing statement to the Jury. But it is
very evident for the line of testimony
now being introduced by the defense
that the defendant intends to cling
to that old story of having turned the
horses over to two other men. one of
whom was the dead man, and he then
waited on the ra lroad track for them
to return.
