DOG KILLER JUMPS BAIL
J. 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. Leigh was in town a few
days last week from Silver creek
where he is connected with the big
placer enterprise for opening the Sil
ver creek basin. The project is to
run a tunnel from a point below the
fulls to tap the creek basin abovo a
huge rock slide that has filled up the
former channel for ninny feet in
depth. The basin is several miles in
length and the gravet is of unknown
depth. Work ou the tunnel has been
usjiendcd over a year bat it is likely
that it will soon be resumed and
lushed to completion. Tho successful
completion of this tunnel would in
sure one of the biggest placer op
erations iu Southern Oregon.

Pleasures of Grants Pass.
(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. That
1 s ono mood of American life.

tho child of tho freo wilderness. A

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. Iu tho moment wu gaze, a
great, shining salmou leaps np in the
bolt, of reflected light ; a glistening,
dripping, living fish, that curves aud
fulls reluctantly into his element once
more.
A small boat containing a Jsirty

On the nOier hand glimmers and

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.
