still working at their profession—
and where does the fortune come
it), do you ask? Here it is: The
boys have an SO acre fruit orchard
— one of the liest there is in the
Rogue River valley. The orchard,
which is called the “ Mountain
Cove,” is now and for years has
been spoken of as oue of the most
uniform and best eared tor bunch
of trees iu this locality.
This year the boys shipped their
first carload of fruit— a full car
load of fancy pack Jonathan
apples. They were shipped to
New York City, but returns from
their sale have not as yet been re
ceived.
Not all their orchard is in bear
ing as yet, nor will it be for a few
years, because of the fact that
only from 500 to 1000 trees were
planted during the early develop
ment of the land, but each year a
block of new trees has been added
to the orchard, until today there
are SO acres of growing trees and
another ten acres will be set this
winter. The varieties of fruit in
the orchard are Newtown aud Jon
athan apples, Comice, Ilowell and
Hartlett pears.
Still The Mail has not told of
tlie fortunes the boys have made
in dollars and cents, but here it is:
At the prices orchards of this
character in the* valley are selling
at, this one is worth from $800 to
$1000 an acre— and one can multi
ply these figures by 80, the num
ber of acres there are in the or
chard, but no person need make
the boys an offer of the highest
figure named— they will not sell.
Aliout one more year at barber-
ing and the boys will retire from
that line of work and will give
their attention to growing fruit,
the orchard having reached an age
which will i>ermit them to with
draw from it the weekly salaries
earned at their chairs.— Medford

few are there of them which are as

TRAGIC COURT SCENE
Would-Be Assassin Makes No
Eflort to Escape-Suicides
After Locked in Jail.
The San Francisco bribery-graft
cases had a dramatic climax Fri
day afternoon when Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Heney,
who has been in charge of the
prosecution during the course of
two years, was shot and seriously
wounded in the crowded court
room by Morris Haas, an ex-con
vict. The shooting occurred at
exactly 4:22 p. in., during a brief
recess in the third trial of Abra
ham Ruef on the charge of brib
ery, which is now in its U tli week.
S H O T S U D D E N L Y F IR E D
Mr. Heney was leaning over on
his table, conversing iu low tone
with A1 McCabe, cheif clerk of
the district attorney’s office. D i
rectly in front of him was James
I,. Gallagher, the wituess, and a
representative of the Associated
Press had just walked to Mr.
Heney’s table aud was standing at
his left elbow, waiting for an op
portunity to speak to him, when a
small man, neatly attired aud hav
ing a decidedly Jewish cast of
countenance, approached the As
sistant District Attorney from be
hind in quick steps, but with de-
lilieration. Suddenly his right
hand shot out and, before the
newspaperman, Mr. McCabe or
John Foley, Mr. Heney's special
bodyguard, sitting about eight feet
away, could make a move, there
was a flash and a loud report rang
through the courtroom.
For a moment everybody seemed
stunned a n d
paralyzed. The
would-be assassin, whose revolver
was within a foot and a half of
Mr. Ileney’s head when he pulled
the trigger, stepped back, his arms
by his side, one hand still clutch
ing the smoking pistol, as if hesi
tating what to do. For a fraction
of a second an impressive silence
followed the report, while the
smoke of the shot lazily floated
away. Some one shouted:
R U SH T O C A P T U R E H A A S
“ My God, he has shot Heney.”
Exclamations o f horror burst from
the crowd. Half of the spectators,
evidently fearing further shooting,
made a frantic rush for the doors,
before the assassin could raise his
pistol again Mr. Foley and E. J.
Wiskotchill, a special policeman,
were upon him, and had thrown
him to the floor and wrested the
weapon from his grasp.
“ send
for my w ip e , " rayshenry
Mr. Heney arose out of his
chair, put his hands to his head,
the blood streaming through his
fingers aud reddening the table in
front of him, leaned over a
moment and was caught as he be
gan to fall. He was laid on the
floor, Charles Oliver and John
Foley, two special detectives con*
nected with the District Attorney's
offire, holding his head out o f the
1 pool of blood which flowed from a
wound which appeared to lie just
! below his right temple. He was
| conscious, and when the Associat-
I ed Press representative dropped
down at his side and spoke to him,
his first words were:
“ Send lor my w ife."
