TO TH E PEOPLE OF COQl'ILLK.
I wish to correct a statement
made (in a recent advertisement for
me) by Paul Stephan, that the Ban­
don bake shops were Belling bread 1
Coquille, whereas It Is but one shop.
As Bandon has two (2 ) bakeries
and Mr. Stephan «hipped
bread
here two (2 ) weeks, after being re­
quested not to do so by us (bak­
ers), I don't think he should com
plain i f I do invade his territory
The answer to our request
was
“ Mind youi^ business, as I do mine.'
I am now ilsing his logic In all my
dealings with him.
Whether the people of Bandon
were not getting the quality
of
goods that Mr. Stephan could fur­
nish, or if It was the idea of a dis
gruntled dealer ill Bandou to hurt
my business, while I was unprepar­
ed to handle the retail business on
account of moving into new quar­
ters, I will leave to the people of
Coquille to judge after using
my
goods.
V rom the first I had assurance
that the fair minded citizens of Co­
quille would not consider this as a
fight between Bandon and Coquille
and developments have proven my
surmise correct.
As I am an American citizen, I
have too much stamania to
sit
idly by and not retaliate.
One
word in regards to price cutting:
1 am cutting the prices for a short
time only merely to Introduce my
goods; and after I am located In my
new bakery (which will be the most
modern in Coos C o.), I Intend to
carry a complete line of
bakery
goods in the Coquille Bakery &
Confectionery.
The cutting o f prices seems to
have stimulated the baking business
in Coquille as Mr. Stephan has on
several occasions bought my bread
anil retailed It in his place of bus-
lnecs, on the pretext of running out
of his own bread.
Be that as It may, I am strictly-
tending to my own business and In­
tend to furnish the people of Co­
quille the best bread and bakery
gpods at the best price.
Respectfully,
( Signed)

Hugo
Hollis, a logger emplojed
at Cody’s logging camp on the lo v e r
river, was killed instantly Tuesd ly
afternoon, a large log rolling over
and crushing him.
The body w;*s
brought up here and shipped over to
Marshfield for burial.
Deceased was a Finn and had on­
ly been in Coos county 5ibout one
year.
He had no relatives here.
A child, about 20 months
old,
belonging to R. H. Armstrong, at
Aasen Bros, camp, \yas very serious­
ly injured last night about 5 o'clock
by the logging train.
The baby was seen lying on the
track as the train came around a
curve, by the brakeman,
who sig­
naled to the engineer to stop. The
latter at the time was engaged in
firing up. however, and did not see
the signal in time to stop.
The
child was lying directly across the
rail, but the brakeman succeeded in
snatching if o ff
the rail
intg the
middle of the track, an*d thus sav­
ed it from instant death.
One car passed over the baby be-
ore the train was stopped, terribly
lacerating
it about
shoulder.
It is not known wheth­
the arms and
er the life of the little one can be
saved or- not, as blood poisoning is
feared, although everything 1 b be­
