T. StoVall, Arraigned (or Canl clde. Flee the Stat. Seldom has a small affair created a greater sensation than has the dog shooting case which ocurred last Fri day. The principals iu the case were J. T. Stovall, a sewing machine agent, and a little shepherd dog, the property of R. E. Barrickman of Mer lin. The fracas started, according to the statements of by stauders, in Stovall's going closer to Barrickmau's w-agon than the dog thought proper. Tho dog growled and Stovall kicked at her. She retaliated by soUing the bottom of his trousers leg iu her teeth, inflicting a wonnd in the ex tremity of the garment about the size of a silver dollar. This infuriated Siovull, who attacked the dog with stones from the street The owner of the dog, seeing Stovall with a big frock poised iu his grasp, apparently about to blot the small cauiue of the faco of the earth with it, warned him to desist. Stovall dropped the lock, but, smarting under the injury to bis lacerated trousers, rushed off to Rotcruiuud's store, his agency head- quarters, procured a small rifle, came back aud shot the dog from the edge of the sidewalk iu front of the express office, the dog being iu the Btreet only few feet distant from the end of the gun barrel. The ballet took effect iu the after part of the dog's ribs, ust below the backbone aud the' wounded animal was the object of a good deal of sympathy as it lay by its owner's wagon. A citizen who witnessed the performance said to Stovall, "You ought to be arrested." Stovall ridiculed the idea, saying that he had money enough to bay up half the town. Tho citizen went in search of tho marshal and meanwhile warrant for Stovall's arrest was placed in tho hands of the constable. Stovall returned tho gun to the tore, triumphantly remarking that lie had "dxiid him." Hy the time tlie nllicers reached tho scene, Stovall was not to bo found. He was ar rested later however aud placed under bonds of 1 ,"0 to appear before the ircnit court on Saturday. The bonds were furnished by N. E. McGruw aud Dennis H. Stovall, who claims no lationship to the defendant in the case. Stovall was brought be r ore the court Saturday afternoon aud entered i plea of guilty, making a glib ad dress to the court for a lenient sen tence. Tho jndgo read the penalties which the law imposes and Stovall discovered that they were of far greater severity than ho had antici pated. He was given the opportunity to change his plea, but d filled at the time to lit it stand and was in structed to uppeur before tho court at the evening session for sentence. At that time ho had decided that he would change his plea to "not guilty" aud this he was allowed to do. His trial was set for Monday morning. On Monday uiornng when the case was called, no defendant appeared. It had transpired that ho had "jump ed his bail" and had taken Saturday night's train for California, leaving his bondsmen iu the lurch. His home is said to bo iu Stockton and his bondsmen are making a determined effort to lecato him. THE SILVER CREEK BASIN Work Soon lo Be Resumed on Bl Tunnel Enterprise. F. G.

(By Audley Porter) Tho band was playing a lively maxurka in the park. Ou the four sides of the square, stand, lonngo or stroll a gaily decked throng. By geueral consent this side is occupied by a medley of city drummers, casual passers, miners from tho gold fields, strangers and single men of all de scriptions. That side is devoted to the youug folks, girls iu white dresses aud streaming ribbons, littlo groups of friends, young Indies accompanied by gallant escorts trigged out in lin en waistcoats, lovers iu pairs and cooing to the time of tho music. Be yond are the older folk, portly dames leaning back iu their seats with self satisfied complacency, and jolly old beaux burnishing up their somewhat rusty manners after a day of business life. Beneath the twinkling incandescent lights, it is all very animated, Tory lively, very restless. A freight traiu stands on tho track near hy and the heavy volume of smoke rolling from the stack indicates that it is about to pull out southward. Tho headlight blazes wratlifully, as benefits tho eyo of a fierce, fire eating dragon. , Everything is Tory gny, very pleasant and nice, and tho luuslo is very cnjoynblo.

Tho sky, of a pura aud heavy tone, relieved by the wide via lacto at tho base and the forest shad lug off into a pearl gray mist. Out of this mist the river comes comes sweeping past the "White Rooks" near which it is said Geueral Lnue made a treaty with tho Indians; past country house aud villa; a charming stretch of straight course ; beneath the bridge, over the dura, and then curves out of sight to tho westward. The brave old oaks and slender cottouwoods along the high banks of the river are uilrrorred inversely in the leadeu lined depths below. The silver shaft of light which is reflected in a broad ribbon from the surface of the waters betrays tho fact of their volume; little eddies and currents from tho underworld and wavelets lrlveu by tho odorous breezes from heavuu.

The Verdict will be rendered LIVELY BASEBALL GAME Grants Pass Defeats AsMand With Score of 3 to 2. Iu tho baso ball gnmo at Ashland Sunday, tho Grants Pass team won a decided victory iu tho best game of the season, over tho team of that town, which lias been hitherto undo-1 fented by any of tho valley tennis. Ono of the fruits of the victory is the undisputed championship of Southern Oregon. The score was 5 to 2 In favor of Grants Pass and all tho tallies wero mnde in the first two Innings, neither side scoring after the second Iu tho first inning the Grants Pass boys made three tallies and Ashland got two men around tho diamond. In tho second inning Grants Pass scored twlco. The Grants Pass battery, Welch aud Smith, did brilliant work, Welch striking ont 11 men. Sparlin gained glory for himself by his opera tions at tho hat and made a hit every time he handled the stick. The line up was as follows: Grants Pass Ashland II Smith o Welch p Iludd ss Northrup lib M Smith 2b Harrington If Williams lb Stmrliu rf McKcuzio cf West MuKoe Neil Pool Freeburg Carter Kngle Robley Eastman AfUir tho fourth inning, liu'ld was retired by the umpire. M. Smith took the shortstop's position, McKonxie went to second and Murpny was placed in the Held. Rather a sensational incident oc curred in tho fourth inning whan Shortstop Pudd who took exception to a closo decision by the umpire Ashland's favor, was engaged by that olliclal in buttle. Iludd was removed from tho giiinu and Murphy was sub stituted. Ouo of tho Ashland puisirs, with characteristic unfairness, utilla- es the incident to cast bshtsIoiis ou tho Grants Pass team, insinuating that tho hilligerent shorstop was brought along for lighting purposes. The records of tho previous games will show that Iludd has been playing shortstop for the Grants Puss nine all the m ason and is one of tho strongest players In tho team. Summer Hygiene. Summer is the season of good hualth and rccupcrution for those who prop erly regulate their mode of living. For those who do not it is a season of discomfort. Pure, healthful, light food that will not stlmmulato heat production hl In it prosrly nourishes and strengthens the body and bruin is the (treat essential. It is conceded that the best of all foods for summer diet are the quickly undo flour-foods hot biscuit, rolls. puddings, cakes, muffins, etc., such as ure made with linking powder. A most eicelleut household bread Is also made with baking powder instead of yeast. These, projs-rly made, are light, sweet, flue flavored, easily di gested, nutritious and wholesome. Yeast bread should be avoided wher ever sissible in summer, as the yeast germ is almost certain in hot weather to ferment in tho stomach aud cause trouble. The Royal Raking Powder foods are uiiferuieiited, and may be eaten in their most delicious state, rli., fresh and hot w ithout fear of unploasuut results. Alum baking powders should lie avoided at all times. They make the foods less digestible. When the sys tem is relaxed by summer heat their danger is heightened. The flour-fisiils made with Royal linking Powder are the acme of ier fectiou for summer diet. No decom isisition takes place in their dough. the nutritive qualities of the flour aru preserved and digestion Is aided, winch is not the casu with sour-yeast bread or cakes.
