The following additional facts and coroner’s verdict in the acci dental shooting on Sharp’s creek last Monday have been recorded siuce the last issue of the Leader: Geo. W. Kerr, Jr ., aged 26, ac companied by his younger brother, Clyde Kerr aud Loren W. lluut, residiug at Wildwood, 17 miles east of Cottage Grove ou the Ore gou & Southeastern road running into Bohemia mines went up Sharp’s creek about 12 miles Sun day to Cline’s place where they stopjted o v e r night. Leaviug Cline's Monday morning they went ou a hunting trip toward Adam’s mountain aud when out two hours the accident oeeured. It seems that Geo. Kerr had gone in one direction with the dogs with the understanding that the men were to meet at a cer tain place later ou. As Hunt aud Kerr’s brother proceeded in their search for game Hunt says he saw something moving along through the bushes that looked exactly like a deer. Hunt was above Geo. Kerr when the shot was fired, but the bullet entered back of his right shoulder penetrating through the body, coming out in front and through the heart showing that Kerr had been practically moving along on all fours. The bullet was fired from a 25-35 Winchester at a distance of 150 yards. An inquest was held, the testi mony showing that Hunt and Kerr had grown up together and had always been the best of friends and that the shooting was entirely unintentional. The verdict of the jury was as follows: “ That the name of the deceased was George W. Kerr, aged 26 years and a native of Oregon. That he came to his death about 2 p. m. on January 11, 1909 about two miles northwest of Cline’s place on Sharp’s creek from a gunshot wound at the hands of Loren W. Hunt. That Loren W. Hunt mistook his companion George W. Kerr for a deer. That they were fast friends and that said Loren Hunt had no intent to kill. Signed J . B. S i m e r a l I). A . M o s b y M. H .

Burkhart of Wildwood. The remains were ac companied by a large crowd of Row river valley neighbors and friends, indicating with what high esteem deceased aud his family are regarded in that community. The funeral was also largely at tended by Cottage Grove people, the remains being laid to final rest in the Masonic cemetery. Both the bereaved family and the sorely aggrieved young friend of deceased Mr. Hunt, who is almost prostrate over the unfortunate affair, have the sympathy’ of the entire com munity.

(T o the Iiclitor)—The above- named person seems to say through the Medford Tribune and pub lished in the Lane county papers that “ iu spite of the statement made that business has improved in Fugeue since local option went into affect, 1 can state that such is not the case.’1 Well, suppose you do “ state” it? Is that any sign that you state the truth? There are various kinds of statements; among them some are so very false that common people will call them plain lies. T h at’s good Fnglish, too. And the one who deliberately circulates them generally gets classed with liars. That’s just, too. Now if this mau had said “ booze business” he would have told the truth. But he did not mean that. He means honest, legitimate business. Now, the business prosperity speaks for it self iu no uncertain language. But “ many drunken women” and “ dozens of boot-leggers!” Say—speak low, be careful. Is it not the fact that those many women who gather together every afternoon for "Itooze parties” — with you as guest of honor, else you would not kttow of them— are they not, I say, just the poor, draggled, frail aftermath of the regime of the open saloon? Any creatute who for a few paltry dol lars would thus draw aside the private curtain of his own shame ful life and expose its leprosy and to tarnish the good name of the Fugeue women, who are among the purest, best and grandest types of womanhood, is ten thousand times worse than the venomous viper that stings the bosom that warms it. And those “ dozens of boot leggers” you let get away Honest, now, are they, too, not the legitimate offspring of the licensed, open saloon? Schooled in deceit and vice, too lazy to work aud too cowardly to steal, taught aud drilled by white-aproned saloon dispensers to despise the law, what else could you expect? They are your kind— look after them. It is rightly your business. “ Many drunken women" and "dozens of boot-leggers!” Say, aren't you seeing visions? Perhaps after all you only have delirium tremens. J o s e p h in e h ull , Press Supt. W. C. T . U. SAYS HE NEVER SAID IT Salem, Or., Ja n . 12 1909 Fditor Guard:— I have just seen a statement taken from the F u geue papers, and copied from the Medford Tribune, to the effect that l had stated recently while at Medford on official business that business conditions had not im proved in Fugetie since local option had gone into effect, is not in any way true. What I did say was that business condition had improved in Fugeue, and were improving all the time, hut wheth er they would improved whether the city had gone wet or dry just the same I was unable to say, hut I thought they would have im proved just the same under either condition. As to the statement that whole sale liquor houses sent out free 1 >ooks of instructions as to how to make fancy drinks and many of the women every afternoon gather together and have “ booze parties,” aud that I had seen many women drunk in Fugene since prohibition went into effect is a lie pure and simple. I never made any such state ment to the Tribune representative, or any one at Medford or else where. As to the statement as to the amount of liquor used iu private homes, sold by “ blind pigs" or “ boot-leggers” iu Fugene since it went dry, or as to the number of revenue tax stamps there, is of little moment and immaterial. But such statements as to the women and citizens of Fugene de mand an explanation and no such language was used at all. The facts are that a very bitter campaign is being waged in Med ford for their city election held then;, I believe, today, and no GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE PRESENTED IN BRIEF Strict observances of the direct primary pledge iu the election of a United States senator.
