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

Pitcher, where the funeral services
were conducted at 2 o’clock in the
afternoon by Rev. 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

Mr. Hunt, who is almost prostrate
over the unfortunate affair, have

(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.

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

When summer has passed in these northen states,
the sun is only mild under the bright blue skies of
Southern California. This is one of nature’s hap
py provisions—eternal summer for those who can
not endure a more rigid or severe climate. Califor

ists.” Its hotels and stopping placas are as varied
as those of all well regulated cities. Visitors can
always find suitable accommodations, congenial
companions, and varied, pleasing recreations.
