Another of the pioneers of south ern Oregon passed to his long rest when the life light departed from David Brlggs, who resided five miles south of Kerby, on the afternoon of Sunday, June 1st. The deceased was born on the old Brlggs homestead In the Kerby dis trict on the 22nd day of June, 1855, he being 58 years of age at the time of his death. His father was Geo. Briggs, who was prominently con nected with the very-earliest of the southern Oregon history, Fort Brlggs, where the white settlers gathered to protect themselves from the depreda tions of the Rogue Indiana, being upon his homestead. David Brlggs, the deceased, was the locator and owner for a long period of years of the Brlggs placer mining property on upper Sucker creek, as well as of other mining properties of value. His wife was Annabelle Jordan, of another of the pioneer families, and to them were born three children who survive, Roy and Ray Rrlggs. twin sons, and the daughter, Mrs. A. J. Faulk, all resi dents of the Kerby district. The deceased had always been an upright citizen, and his passing causes the deepest regret among the tniL'.. clrclp of his friends and ae- Mr. and Mrs. E. E. McKibban ar rived in Grants Pass on the evening of the 30th, after the long trip by automobile from Muskogee, Okla homa. The McKibbans were here last fall and purchased Tokay Heights property upon which they propose to make their future home. They then returned to Oklahoma to make prep arations for removal to Grants Pass, and on March 12th they started, the auto carrying Mr. and Mrs. McKib ban and Chief, the pointer dog. The trip was made by easy stages, and was without disturbing incident, be ing a most pleasurable outing. A total of 3,302 miles was covered, the route being via New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and California. Mr. McKibban is an architect by profession, and will build a beauti ful home on the Tokay Heights tract. Mrs. McKibban has occupied a prom inent place In club circles in her home state, and at the time she left for Oregon, she was head of the pub lic health department of the state federation, and chairman of the food sanitation committee.

Dr. Truax soon sup plied the needed document, however, and the first license under the new law was granted to Patrick Stephen Orr of Ashland and Miss Ruby M. Hutchison of Grants l'ass. Tho marriage ceremony was per formed by Judge Stephen Jewell, at his office at the court house. nubile school and the church, there is no factor of so great Importance in a community as a public library. It is a benefit not only to the indi vidual but to the community at large. The public library is the one place which welcomes every citizen regardless of age, color, faith or de gree of prosperity and gives to him the support he is seeking. A free public library to serve its highest purpose must reach every citizen in th mnmmnltv nnr! give him a Marquette, Mich., May 31. Com plete exoneration for Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt, former president, from charges of drunkenness made against him in an editorial by George Newett, editor of the Isphemlng, Mich., Iron Ore, came here this af ternoon when Newett, after Roose velt's case was rested, took the wit ness stand and made complete sur render. Newett read a long statement in defending his mistake in charging Roosevelt with drunkenness, insist ing that he acted with no malice but simply related in print allegations he had heard by word of mouth and without any actual knowledge of their truth. His statement came at once after the reading of a score of depositions from prominent persons, all of whom swore they had known Roosevelt Intimately for years and that he was a model of sobriety.

Up to the time of publica tion my information came through persons who claimed to have knowl edge of the statements made and I went forward to verify those state ments and to determine one witness by whom they could be proven. Ad ditional information afterward came to me from various sections of the country. I have been unable, how ever, to locate or produce a witness who will swear he has actually seen Roosevelt drink to excess. It Is only fair to the plaintiff to state that I am unable to find any witnesses who will swear to this. "I'P to the time of this trial I be lieved the statements published in my article were true, but in the face of unqualified testimony of many dis tinguished men who have for years been in a position to know the truth, I am forced to the conclusion that I was mistaken. I am unwilling to continue to assert that Colonel Roosevelt actually drank to excess. As the publisher of a newspaper I have never knowingly done injustice to any man and neither I nor my at torneys are now willing to make or cotinue the assertion of an unjust 'charge.
