Jeff Brophy Appeals to Merchants to Assist in Preventing Burglaries by Leaving a Light. NOTED JOSEPHINE CASE DECIDED IN SUPREME COURT William Von dfcr Ilellon of Englo Point spout Thursday night in Med- The supreme court of Oregon has handed down a decision in the case of Lathrop vs. the Modern Woodmen of America, reversing the decision of the trial court in Joscphino county presided over by Judge Hanna, who instructed the jury to bring in verdict for $3000 in favor of the plaintiff. The husband of the plnin tiff had made application for mem bership in tho order, and for a pol icy of insurance, in the amount of $3000. Social membership had been exercised, but before the rules of the order had been complied with to per feet the insurance, Lathrop was mor tally injured by a blast. Two days niter the accident tho family applied to the local camp for tho policy and tendered tho first payment. Tho pol icy, which hod been lying for somo time in the hands of the secretary of the camp, Lathrop failing to respond to notitco to call and pay tho feo and nccept it, was thereupon dolivercd to his family. Tho head camp refused payment and suit followed, with the result as stated, in the circuit court The decision of reversal by tho su premo court is now looked upon ns decisive of tho case, which is re mandod for a new trial.

"This will help us in making our rounds. If tho light is out, wo will know thnt things are not right and investigate. "At present almost all stores ex tinguish all lights, and consequently it is almost impossible to seo whethor everything is as it ought to be. We try every front and rear door, but this does not tell the story like a light would." CITY RECORDER QUITS: $10 A MONTH TOO LOW EUGENE, Or., Jan. 11. J. New ton Rhodes, recorder, and C. W.
