Ashland Will Remember!
In sentencing them only to prison confinement,
the .state has been generously, merciful to the D ’
Autremonts. In cold blooded audacity, in deliberate
intent, in shameless brutality, in absolute indiffer
ence to the possible consequences upon hundreds of
passengers imprisoned in the death trap tunnel,
their deed stands unparalleled.
And yet we anticipate that the ink upon the
commitment. papers will hardly have dried before
the sentimentalists will begin their subtle protest
ugwinat this “ cruel and inhuman confinement” of
“ mere boys” who suffer perhaps from some kind of
abnormal mental complex, or the effects of unfavor
able childhood environment.
It is quite possible that the boys will be model
prisoners for a time. They will write for the insti
tutional magazine, and glorify themselves anew.
Soon some social theorist will arise to espouse .their
cause ^nd plead for a pardon. The public will forget
the scene in the SiBkiyon tunnel and lose interest in
the men who were responsible for it, and with the
common human passion for doing a kindness that
costs nothing, men and women will be persuaded to
sign petitions, urging that the D ’Autremonts be set
free.
/
In 'view of these possibilities, which amount
rather to probabilities, we would suggest that a
special committee of incorruptible citizens be now
appointed who shall set themselves to remember the
facts of the D ’Antremont case and have them ready
to marshal against the insidious attack of the
chronic sob sister sympathizers. It has cost a lot of
time and money and effort to get the D ’Autremonts
into the penitentiary. By all means, let us keep
them there.
We shall be fortunate indeed if these desperate .
meh do not contrive a prison break, and a new
slaughter of innocent men. They should be guarded
with unrelaxing vigilance within the prison, and now
and in years to come officials who may have the
pardoning power should be advised that in the case
of the D ’Autremonts, life imprisonment is to mean
life imprisonment—nothing less. — P o r t l a n d Tele

Improve Winbum Way
At various points along Winbum Way, yisitora
to Lithia park congregate—at the Lithia fountain,
the picnic grounds, tennis courts, for instance. Most
of these visitors come to the park to escape the heat
and dust and to enjoy the beauty of the mun^ipal
playgrounds.
Yet, part of Winbum Way remains unpaved,
with the dust frequently becoming extremely annoy
ing to the visitors to the park. While practically all
of the main traveled streets in our city are paved,
part of this street, which is used by probabfy as
many motorists as any other street, with the excep
tion of Main street, remains unimproved.
It might be impractical to consider paving
Winbum Way, but possibly the city could work
out an oiling plan Which woulct allay the dust and
make this thoroughfare more attractive.
Circumstantial Evidence
One result of the recent D ’Autremont trial and
subsequent confession by the three boys is the re*/
moval of prejudice against circumstantial evidence
which 'was so evident in the examination of the
jurors in the trial.
Circumstantial evidence is indirect, but when
a community has an example where the.citcumstan-
tial evidence and the details of a confession coin
cide so generally, there should be less reluctance
in the future to accept circumstantial evidence.
As one of the attorneys stated, witnesses may
lie, but circumstances do not. It appears that ho was
right as far as the latter fact is concerned anyway.
Everything but the brass band was at the Med
ford station Thursday veiling to see D ’Autrenjonts
off. When the show-down came they had a real
■end off after all.
And now “ Abie’s Irish Bose” has gone clean
er to Germany where she is known as “ Abraham
M fria” which spoils the whole thing.

of Trinity River, In Cook county,
Texaa. Thera .they took a section
of land near'the present site at
Cainsville. The Indiana ware
very troublesome. They would
come at night and crawl around
the house, but paver put in an
appearance during the day. They
set fire to the prairie and burned
some fencing and hay belonging
to Mr. Doaler's father. .
/ Thera was no school near by, ao
his mother taught him the alpha
bet and how to spell.
In the year of 1860 or 1861 the
town of Oalnaville begap build
ing. The first building w ai a log

The next building was a dwelling
house for the stare keeper. The
ftret Court houaa waa a log build
ing but later torn down ana made
of lumber.
In the fall of 181$ hla mother
died. The cars« ta d hardships
ware many. The boys worked as
much ah possible. The schools
ware too far away for them 'to
attend, so their father hired a
man to teach th e « but ha would
let them learn nothing but spell
ing.

they Joined a wagon train and
started for the Golden State. They
traveled the most southern route
along the border of Mexico. They
had little trouble with the In

want of water. A great number
of their cattle died, and they
stopped on the Colorado River
four weeks to rest the remaining
herd.
The ■ first
