CENTRAL POINT
Henry Head was very seriously In­
jured last Friday morning near the Bear
creek bridge by being thrown from his
horse while on his way to town. Mr.
Head was riding one horse and leading
another, when be met the Painter
brothers and John Roes in an auto. The
horse he was leadiog became frightened
and ran around the other, throwing the
horse Mr. Head was riding and throw­
ing the rider to the ground with great
violence. His head struck a boulder
with such force that he was rendered
unconscious.
The injured man was
carried to the home o f Mr. Beebd and
medical aid was summoned, and, al­
though his return to consciousness has
been slow, the doctor thinks he will
soon be fully recovered from the effects
o f the accident.
Action waa begun Monday to prevent
prohibition from going into effect in
Medford, as provided under the city
charter. A temporary injunction waa
applied for from Circuit Judge Hanna
by Attorney Robert G. Smith, repre­
senting J. C Hall, to reatroin the coun­
ty court from declaring prohibition in
effect in Medford, as provided under
the local option law. It is expected
that the prohibitionists will seek to dis­
charge the injunction, which the wet
forces will seek to have made perma­
nent. Attorney McAllister o f theAnti-
Saloon league is In Medford, presumably
to defend the league’ s cause.
The charter’ s clause under which
« « i o n is brought reads as follow s:
“ The city council shall have power
and authority within tho city limits o f
Medford to license, tax, regulate or
prohibit barrooms, drinking shops, bil­
liard rooms, bowling alleys, dance halls,
and all places where spiritous, malt or
vinous liqnors are sold or kept for sale,
irrespective o f any general law o f the
state on this subject enacted by the
legislature or by the people at large.’ ’
The county court is compelld by the
option law to declare the result o f
prohibition 11 days after the election.
The case will be fought at every point
by the wet town advocates.
Attorney Smith said Monday: "T his
is not a question o f sentiment, but o f
law. The cou rt! will pass upon the
law, which, I think, is altogether in
favor o f the charter, which was passed
after the local option law. The only
supreme court decision upon the point
is that o f the case o f Renshaw vs. the
county court o f Lane County, where it
was held that if the city charter had
been specific on the question involved
it would have been binding. Medford’ s
charter is specific.’ ’

George Alsdorf, a recent arrival from
South Dakota, was so seriously injured
in a runaway at Medford Wednesday
evening o f last week that he died the
following day from h iv injuries. A ls­
dorf was unloading a car o f furniture
and other effects near the depot, when
the north-bound passenger came in and,
fearing his team would run, he went to
their heads to quiet them, and when
the team started to run he was thrown
to the ground and the heavy wagon
wheels passed over his body, crushing
him so badly that death ensued as
above stated. He was buried at Med­
ford Friday under the auspices o f the
Masonic fraternity.

Our Sunday-school, in connection with

observe Children’ s day June 14th with
a basket picnic on the river bank near

is being prepared fo r the occasion,
which will doubtless be an enjoyable
one. All are invited and a good at­
tendance may be expected.
Miss Mae Nealon is home to take a
well earned rest, having closed a suc­
cessful term o f school in the Agate
district last week. She was roused
from an after dinner nsp Sunday by
the entrance o f her late scholars ac­
companied by Mr. and Mrs. D. W.
Beebe. Before Miss Nealon was fairly
awake Miss Florence Kinkead, with a
complimentary address, presented her
with a valuable ring as a token o f the
appreciation o f her work by the school
and the love and esteem they had for
her. Without a moment’ s delay Misa
Fay Grigsby came to the front and,
with a neat little speech, gave her a
beautiful bracelet—a g ift from the
L'ncoln Literary Society o f Agate.
Miss Mae was so moved with the sur­
prise and her gratitude for the love o f
her late pupils that words failed and
gave way to tears. A t this juncture
the Agate ball team stopped on their
return from the ball grounds and, a
supply o f ice being on hand, were put
to work on an ice cream freeser, at
which they were more o f a success
than at the bat A plentiful aupply o f
ice cream and other fixings was served
to the company, who spent a couple o f
hours very pleasantly. Mrs. W. R.
Bryum, who was in Portland taking in
