Dr. B. K. Leach, editor and pro­

Dora today at the request of aix»ut
200 citizens and business men of
Bandon who were at the wharf to
see him off.
The publication called Justice has
caused considerable comment in
the city ever since it was instituted
and it has been evident for some
time that neither Justice nor the
editor would be allowed to remain
in Bandon long, as the sentiment
was getting very strong against it,
but the climax came when a copy
of a letter was receiv«*d here stating
that Edgeworth and Everest, the I
W. W. agitators who were recently
deported from Coos Bay were com­

thought that he was m sympathy
with the movement
and many
thought that it would be for the
best to get him out of town before
anything further should happen.
Consequently a meeting of citizens
and business men was called last
night and Dr. Leach was asked to
meet with them and make an ex­
planation. R. E. L. Bedillion was
elected as spokesman for the meet­
ing to tell Dr. Leach that Bandon
people had come to the conclusion
that they did not want Justice pub­
lished in the town any longer and
gave him until 2:00 o'clock this
afternoon to leave town. To this
Dr. Leach made practically no re­
sponse, other than that he respect«*d
the Hag, had never made an attack
on it neither was he an I. W. W.
but a Socialist, and stated further
that if he had attacked persons it
was for a special purpose, and that
the people of Bandon were evident­
ly devoid of a sense of humor, to
which Mr. E. H. Fish r«s«p<»oded
that he was chuck full of humor and
he wanted it understood that 2:00
o'clock this afternoon was the limit.
Dr. Leaeh then left the room and
the meeting adjourned with the un­
derstanding that the citizens be on
hand at 2:oo o'clock today to see
that the orders were carried out.
However it was noised around this
morning that the Doctor would
leave on the Dora, at 1:00 which
he did and about 200 citizens were
at the dock at the time. Both the
Moore mill and the Lyons-Johnson
Lumber Co mill both shut down and
the forces were out enmasse.
A body of citizens accompanied
the boat to see that the doctor did
not return and it is rejxirted that
he w ill l»e accomjtanied to the county
line.
