HUMAN SKULL FOUND
OUT NEAR SELMA
Discovered by Prospectors Mile
end a. Half South of Selma.
Leist Week.
Prospector made a grnesome find
one day last week while at work sooth
of Selm about a mile and a half
Near a swail filled with water a
human ska II was unearthed, but the
water prevented further excavation
for the remainder of the skeleton.
Thia sknll baa a round hole in the
top about the size of a.88-calibre
bullet which seems to go down
through the right eyo, tearing away
the lower cheek bone. The supposi
lion Is that the man .must Jiave been
mordered many years ago aa the teeth
(f the opper jaw are all, gone andthe
lower jaw is missing. Tufts of curly
sandy hair were also found near the
ikoll.
While the discovery of thiskoll is
at thia time a mystery it is recalled
by some of the old reHidenta that a
Jew peddler who was traveling
through the country with a horse and
buggy some J (5 years ago, mysteriously
disappeared In the 'vicinity of this
diaoovery and nothing was heard of
him afterwards. The sandy hair,
found with the skoll, however, would
scarcely tally np with the Jewish
race. Further excavations will.be
made as soon as Ithe water recedes in
the vicinity of the find, thongh there
seems bat .little probability that the
mystery will evor be satisfactorily
solved owing to the elapse of time
since the supposed tragic death of the
man.
Sheriff Rossell brought the skoll
and hair to Grants Pass last Sunday
and now has it at his office. It may
be later turned over to the coroner.
SOME PEOPLE'S IDEAS
OF SALMON FISHING
"The Astoria idea lias contended that
no closed seasou in tidewater was
neoesaary. It has extended the open
seasoo for fishing by means of Its in
fluence In legislatures. It baa re
quired the Fish Warden living at
Astoria to permit suspension of the
closed seasoo laws. It has allowed
gillnets on the bar, thus setting up a
barrier to entrance of salmon into the
river. It has so amended the laws
that they are now a nullity as far as
protection through clotted seasou goes.
Il has successfully resisted efforts to
cot down the satch of tidewater gear.
It has pursued the April, May and
.Tone salmon so hard that they are
now neariug extiuction. It has ex
tended the open seuson in August by
one installment after aaother, nutll
the Aaaunt fish have been almost cot
off from Hatcheries. " Oregonian.

SUNDAY'S CAME WAS
A PHENOMENAL ONE
Fifteen Inning Rteult in Score
ol 3 It 2 In Favor of
Grunt Pan.
One of the moat phenomenal games
of base ball played iu Southern Ore
gon for some year was that between
tlie Ashland aud Orsnts Pas teams
her last Stiuday etWnoon when the
score stood 2 to 3 ap to the lfith in
ning, when the local U am a i (led one
mors to the sheet. It was a most in
teresting game from start to finish,
and many are those who wanted to
kick themselves Mouday morning,
when ttioy had beard the result, be
cause they had not attnuilei the game.
Thrasher's batting was ooe of the
features of tlie game, and
iu fact hel,im Thirrt
seemed to be tlie only one. wno
could wield the stick aright. Rigg
wan "thera with the goods" in the
box, strikiug out 17, and no banes on
balls. Sales ouly struck out 11 aud
gave 10 bases on bslla Risgs ouly al
lowed four hit and Sale six and Sales
hit two with pitched ball.
Sales' left hand delivery sort o'
nonplussed the Grants Pas bovs
for a time, but they flusl'y got next.
The home team made one score iu
the first, one in the fifth and the third
in the lMh, while the viitorliad'a
flock of goose eggs on each side. of the
seveuth inning, iu which they made
their two runs. The local team will
play a return game at Roseburg next
Sunday, and though the Koaeburgers
have acquired a number of semi
professionals since they played here,
the Grant Pass boys entertain the
notion that they will wiu easily.
The home team will be somewhat
strengthened within the next couple
of weeks by the substitution of nw
homo stuff. The grounds here have
been scraped and the grand stand re
paired lo a way that will appeal to
the orowds who attend hereafter. !
