OCTOGENARIAN’S BLOOD TINGLES FOR FIGHT WHEN HE READS EDITORIAL Old Warhorae of Early Oregon History Sees No Hope Nor Pressing Need for Roosevelt’s Personal Bull Moose Party “ I thought 1 had given up politics for good, but your editorial last week about Taft and Roosevelt set my blood to tingling and awakened all my old time interest.” Thus spoke L. L. Whitcomb of Saginaw to The Sentinel while in the city Saturday. Mr. Whit comb is 82 years of age and is one of the Republican warhorses of early Ore gon. In 185-1, when taxes could not be paid with greenbacks, he was Assessor o f Multnomah County, in 1863 he was Sheriff of Yamhill County in 1868 county commissioner of Washington., His mind, still active and vigorous, is filled with the lore o f early political battles and he speaks from a personal acquaintance with all those men who | made history in Oregon in the 50’s and 60’s. Mr. Whitcomb’s great grandfather came over in the Mayflower, his grand father was an officer in the Revolu tion. He himself has stood by the 1 Grand Old Party while Free Soilers, Green Hackers, Know Nothings, Popu lists, Free Silverites and other parties 8 year or two have grown to for m'dable proportions and them quickly- faded away. He sees no crying need now for the party composed of Roose velt, Teddy and the Colonel and pre dicts success for the party of sane and Little Girl Breaks Arm.

While on their 125 mile hike from Cottage Grove to Rosehurg via Steam boat River, Hugh Currin and Albert Anderson had many experiences that will he remembered for years, one be ing a rattle snake bite inflicted on Mr. Anderson. He brought the rattles home with him, there being eight of them. The snake onlv inflicted a mere scratch and no antidote was applied until he reached home five days later, when inflammation had set in. The young men went from here to the Bohemia District, following Steam boat River from there to the Umpqua. The entire trip took two weeks. From Roseburg Mr. Currin came home by train while Mr. Anderson shipped the luggage and rode the pack horse back, arriving Tuesday. One morning Anderson took a shot at a bear cub, wounding it, but at this juncture the mother appeared on the scene and Anderson, who only carried a small gun, thought it best to do the disappearing act. A wild cat was also shot at several times, but the big f e line got away. Back in the woods 56 miles from Cot tage Grove and 65 miles from Rose- burg, the hikers ran across ‘ ‘ the Dutchman’ s cabin,” the occupant of which gets out $80 or $90 a year in gold and lives contented far from the madding crowd, going to Champion once in a while for supplies. Cruelty to Animals. The extreme cruelty to animals which is being practiced by some residents of Grants Pass is hard to believe. few days ago a fisherman on the river bank hard a puppy whining in distress, and after a short search be tound a little black puppy nailed up in a box and thrown out on the public dump and left to starve. Yesterday a cat was found in the brush on Rogue River avenue. The cat was in a gun ny sack with the opening securely wired to prevent the cat’ s escape. A few days ago two kittens were tightly tied in a sack and thrown out near the same place. One of the kittens had been horribly mutilated. Many instances are related by residents o f that section regarding the abandonment of kittens which should have been humanely put out of misery. There is work for a humane officer.— Rogue River Courier. MURDER MYSTERY IS NOT SOLVED Trades Pigs for Bear; Sells Bear for $100 STCJ ^ - bi""y wTmil" thc, I ' *y* r ' SLAYER OF MILDRED GREEN IS S TILL AT LARGE Suspicion Turns From Negro to De mented Resident of Eugene.— Rumor Takes Vicious I Turn in Affairs. i r > The murderer o f pretty and innocent Mildren Green o f Eugene has not yet been apprehended. The police are ap parently no nearer to a solution than on the morning the horrible crime was discovered. Suspicion seems, however, to have turned from a negro as the murderer to some demented person who is still prowling about the neighborhood. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made to enter other houses, but no trace has been secured o f the guilty person, although he was seen and shot at when he attempted to enter the D. M. Purkerson home. A vicious rumor was current up and down the Valley Sunday that the father o f the girl had been arrested and had confessed. There was not the slight est foundation for such a rumor and the father o f the girl is not held under the least suspicion by the authorities. Portland police have been given the description o f a man wanted. He is described as being about five feet four inches tall, about 40 years o f age, with red face and light curly hair, who had been working in Eugene for the Ore gon Electric company, and who de clared he was going to Portland to cash his pay check. The man is a painter. He has not been apprehended. % '■ißt i ^ * i - i ■ • 1 ” i l STOCK CO MAKES HIT IN THE GROVE Claman’s Aggregation Puts on Three Metropolitan Productions in Cottage Grove.
