BANDON, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1911 VOLUME XXVII L. J. WHEELER AR- RESTED FOR MURDER Deputy Sheriff of Jackson Co. Arrived Monday Morn­ ing and Takes Wheeler The Proposed Gymnasium. The time of awakening to the fact that it is equally as important to de­ velop the body as the I rain in our public schools has arrived. All over the country the movement for the proper physical instruction of our boys and girls, as a prevention for the diseases which reap such a hor­ rible harvest each year, is being taken up and pursued energetically The reason for the spread of the dis eases which are so common in our public schools is that the pupils are not physically able to resist the at­ tacks of the destructive germs. In f ict, nine out of every ten pupils are in such physical condition as to in­ vite the diseases that are constantly around us. Is this movement towards univer­ sal good health worth while, and if so, how can we remedy our present coml it ions? The first is absurd. Go through our own school right here in Bandon, notice the sunken chests, the stoop shoulders, the listless eyes, and lis­ ten to the quick irregular breathing of the pupils, and you would be ashamed of you. self forever for even allowing such a thought to enter your head. As to the remedy; we must in­ struct the pupils in the methods ot keeping themselves healthy. Before we can do this however we must have a place for such instruction and this is the very object of the pro­ posed Bandcn Public School Gym nasium. If you are in favor of the advance ment of our school along this all im­ portant line, attend the special school meeting in the High School Audito rimn. Nov. 23rd, and vote for the GYMNASIUM. BOATS ARRIVE Have Trouble Over Calf. AND DEPART Shipping Business at This Port Still Continues Ex­ ceedingly Brisk As a lesult of the dispute over the ownership of a calf, which was sold to Geo. Erdman last Saturday Mrs. C. Ledgerwood and C. H. Chandler swore out warrants of arrest against J. I- Conger for stealing the calf and against Geo. Erdman as an accom­ plice. It seems that the calf had been at the Ledgerwood farm for some time, but Mr. Conger claims the calf be­ longed to him and that he turned it out when a month old, and at the proper time he butchered it and sold it to Mr. Erdman for his meat mar­ ket. Mr. Chandler, seeing the calf hanging in the market, claimed it as having belonged to Mrs. Ledger­ wood; hence the difficulty, and now it will be necessary to prove who the calf really b-longed to. The trial comes rp for hearing tomorrow at one o'clock in Justice Wade's court unless a postponement be made. The burden of proof as we understand the case will be either for Mr. Con­ ger to show that the call was the same one he turned out. or for Mrs. Ledgerwood and Chandler to show that the calf had always been in their possession.

Wheeler, who owns and oper­ ates a grocery store on the plank road was arrested yesterday by the deputy sheriff of Jackson county for the murder of Nathan Rogaway. whose home was at Albany, Ore,, but who avas killed near Ashland, Ore., last summer. The only evidence that seems to be against Mr. Wheeler is that he and Rogaway and two other men left Ashland in Wheeler’s automo bile on the day Rogaway came up missing. Some time afterward Rog- away’s body was found buried by the roadside, and though the body was decayed he was identified by his clothes. It is said that the murdered man h r tSlh.

The troupe played at Co­ quille last night, will be at Myrtle Point tonight, and from there will go to Roseburg, and then south and will probably come back here for a return engagement in about three months.
