At a result of the investigations of
a special agent of the Department of

weeks, Harry W. Miller was arrested
aud takeu from the northbound at
Roscburg mirier arrest on a chargo ot
attempting to defraud the United
States of public lands.
Miller ramo to Meilford from Little
Rock about the first of last Septem
ber. Simultaneously with his arrival
there commenced to bo made a great
number of timber laud filings in town
ships 40 and 41 south, ranges 3 and 8
west. The fact that these filings were
made in almost solid blocks aud the
further fact that many of them were
made by persons who it was alleged
were not of suctuteut means to pay
the expense of location, advertising
aud to pay 1 100 for the laud when the
proofs Were had, led the Government
land officials to suspect an irregularity.
Tho atteutiou of tho Geueral Laud
Oilice was called to the matter and
special agents were sent to investi
gate. Miller is supposed to have
learned that inquiries were in pro
gress aud left hero Saturday night for
the north, but was ablu to get as far
as Roscburg only when he was stop
ped.
Miller was supposed to represent uu
Eastern crnipany ready to jay ont the

tracts of this uature were entered into
between the parties to this effect
Miller, while operating hero with
confederates, deluded his victims into
tho belief that they would bo paid 40

ly after proof was made that they
would guarantee inch claim to rut
not less than 8,000,000 feet, thus lenv

agony, death resulting from guusnot

of tho shot entered his body and
pierced the abdomen. The Caseber
boy immediately gave the alarm, and
the wounded lad was carried home,

T. P. Hutchinson, a prospector and
mining operator, whose home is in
Woodvillo aud who has been about
Grants Pass more or less for the past
five years, died cn Friday morning
from the effects of an overdose of
laudanum.
Mr. Hutchinson had for several
days been about Lister's livery stable
and bad beeu acting somewhat
straugoly. Ou the last two days es
pecially preceding his death, he ap
peared like a man nearly exhausted
for want of sleep. Ho would go to
sleep sitting in a chnir and occupied
the bed in tho stable office to tho ex
tent of inconvenience to proprietor
aud employes. On Thursday evening,
the man having beeu about the stable
all day in a semt-stupid condition, an
attempt was made by Mr. Lister to
get him Into ouo of tho hotels, but no
room could bo secured. As ho was
clearly a very sick man, Mr. Lister
allowed him to occupy tho bed in the
ofllce, called in a physician, Dr.
Strieker, and notified tho marshal,
that he might keep an ryo on the man
sud give lil in his nicdiclno at (he
proper intervals. Hutchinson, grow
ing worse. Dr. Strieker later called
Dr. Love in consultation, but all
elTorts were of no avail end the
patient died early Fridny morning.
An empty laudanum bottle in his
coat pocket explained tho cnuso of
his death. At first it was suspected
that tho drug bad been tiikrn with
snioidul intent, but at tho Inquest,
with the evidence at baud, it was
decided that the deceased had un
wittingly exceeded tho proper doso.
Mr. Hutchinson was about (15 years
of ago. He has two sons in Califor
nia, who arc said to be in good cir
cumstances.
Ono of tho sons arrived Saturday
and took charge of the remains. The
funeral services were held Sunday

When Mr. 1 Moody was lu Glasgow
In the 7'0's, he was conducting , a

One question was "Are there any
verses iu the liiblo against tho use

Why He Became a Prohibitionist
Itudyard Kipling says that one
ulght, iu a concert hall, he saw two
young men ply two girls with liquor
till they were drunk. Then they led
them (staggering) nown a dark street.
The rest of the story we give In Mr,
Kipling's owu words. "Then," be
says, "recanting previous opinions.
hocame a prohibitionist. Hotter it Is
that a man should go without his beer
iu publio places, and content himself
with swearing at the narrowuiludnd
ness of the majority, better It is to
Mi i sou the Inside with very vile turn
poraucfl drinks, and to buy lager
furtively at back doors, than to bring
temptation to the lips of young fools
such aa the four I had teen. I under
aland now why the preachers rage
against drink. I have said, 'There
Is uo harm in It, taken moderately,'
aud yet my own demand for beer
helped to send those two girls reeling
down the dark street to Ool alone
knows what end. If liquor is worth
drliiking.lt is worth taking a little
trouble to come at such trouble as a
man will undergo to compass his own
desires. It Is not good that we should
let It He before the eyes of children,
and I have been a fool In writing to
the contrary. "
