FOOL KILLER 'NEEDED
The need of a tool killer haa not
entirely passed in this country yet
Taa first day following tbe opening
of tna hunting season, the carnage,
of hunters who are rictima of other
hunters who don't know eaough to
handle a gun in the woods, com
menced. Time was when a citisen
who wanted a piece of fresh venison
could swing his gun over his should
er, go Into the woods and get it with
out incurring a fifty per cent liabil
ity of being taken for a deer himself.
In those days it was not necessary
to uniform yourself as a hunter In
scarlet hate and Jackets.
' A 1HU waa Introduced in the last
reoujrlog a license for
the carrying of any fire arms. As
to alae-tesths of our people, such a
saw would be an unnecessary aais
aaes; as to the other tenth,1 it Is an
almost aecesaary restriction.
If the continued killing of inno
cent hunters by careless Irresponsi
ble so-called hunters continues,
public opinion will demand that
soma such regulation be made re
garding the carrying of Ore arms at
large;

ious skin infection, caused by tbe

raid that killed over 100 people, 25
persons were reported to be suffer

hands were swollen and the skin was
afflicted with a new kind of irrita

trouble as that which frequently at

THE TRUE TALE OF A
RATTLE-SNAKE'S TAIL
The following tale (not tall) Is
clipped from yesterday morning's
Medford Sun. The reputation of the
partlea mentioned for veraolty leaves
no room for doubt as to the truth
fulness of the story:
Mrs. A. J. Klockner, who has re
turned from a week's visit to Grant
Pass, bad the unusual experience,
while there, of hunting rattlesnakes
by the headlight of an automobile,
In company with Dr, and Mrs, Ed.
Hy water they were returning late
one evening from a visit In the
country. A rattlesnake, aping the
manners of Its Arizona cousins, had
burled Itself In the dust of tbe road,
and, thus ensconced for attack, It
was run over by tbe auto. It crawled
away however, apparently uninjured.
Dr. By water at once reversed his
car and spent some time looking for
the snake hy artificial light. When
found, the doctor fearlessly lifted it
bank into the road. The stick, how
ever, ibroke Into bits when used as
a club but the snake was extermin
ated by Dr. Dywater, who literally
followed the biblical Injunction of
placing his heel upon the serpent's
head.
The oil of the snake will be used
for medicinal purposes, There were
seven rattles.
