An investi gation of the lynehiiiR of n ncjrro caught in tho bedroom of the daugh ter of John Wnde, n white farmer, living near here, is being conducted by the authorities todny. The girl entered her room nnd, hearing the negro, screamed. The black became frightened. Ho tried to escape, but ihe girl's cries brought help nnd the negro crawled under the bed. lie was dragged uUt nnd taken from the house. JiWSUfew minutes a crowd gathered and "the negro was quickly strung up to a tree. The lynching ha? created consid erable excitement, recalling the mur der of Anna Pelly at Cairo nnd the lynching of Will James, the negro ac cused of the crime. Race feeling has been aroused ALEXIS, Ala., Amr. 1. Bill Wal ker, a negro, was shot to death nnd his body burned todny by a mob tli.it pursued bim when ho assaulted nnd fatally wounded Mrs. Nettie Gibson, white; slashed her brother with a razor, shot nuother negro and made his victim's wifo fleo with him. Mrs. Gibson was tho wifo of the superintendent of the fnrm on which Walker worked. The negro lured her from the houso by telling her that u neighbor bad died. Walker led the way toward the place where ho said the neighbor lived. A short distnncc from tho house he sprang on Mrs. Gibson. She fought desperately, but the negro stabbed her with a knife. Her little brother hoard the erics and ran to help her. The negro drew a razor and slashed the lad. Walker left the womnn dying nnd tho boy severely wounded nud went to the cottage of Jcsso Brown, col ored. He opened the window nnd fired nt Brown, severely wounding him. Then, nt the point of his re volver, he forced Mrs. Brown to leave the house and accompany him and fled toward a swamp. A mob gathered, when the story of the attack became known nnd fol lowed Walker. He was found today hiding in the Mvatnp. Tho Brown woman was not with him. Took Crowd; to Idatarod. SEWARD, Alaska. Aug. 1. The steamer A. G. Lindsny, Captain J. C. Downing, long overdue from Bethel, is safe in port here en route to Sehttle. The Lindsay left Bethel July 1G. On her trip up she carried a big party from Seattle for the Idatarod. R. Stinnett, a resident of Mcdford, claims with reason tho distinction of being the original baseball fan of Or egon. Ho organized in 1830 tho first baseball team in Oregon, at Corvnl Hs. "In those days," he said, ''we whittled our own bats from native wood nnd at first played with a rub ber ball. No, it wasn't 'town ball' we played, but the original game of baseball. If you over caught a rub ber ball barehanded when it was coining swift you know how they sting. We discarded tho rubber ball nnd made n vnrn ball with a chunk of rubber in the center and then covered it with buckskin. The first effort was a little crude, but we soon learned the trick. That ball was the most valuable piece of property be longing to the club. If in playing in open fields, as wo did in those days, the ball was 'lost, the game was called until the players, spectators and even the umpire had searched until they found it. There were uo raits, no mnsks, no breast-protectors in those days. We went out bare handed in shirt sleeves nnd overalls and took them us they came. I hnven't missed a ball game in any plnce where I have lived for all this time, and I don't intend to mUs one us long as I am able to get to them. The game lias changed since my plnying days, but the basic principles are still the same, and it renews my youth to see the voungsters working on the field." Lading of steel liua progressed rapidly on the Pacific & Eastern during tho past few days, and the road is now completed to a point 20 miles from this city. Bridge build ing is now under way nnd track laying will be reeomnioiicod as soon as the timbers are in place. Nearly all of the steel needed to complete tho road to Butto Falls hits been delivered. There will be ito letup in the work and within six weeks tho road to Butte Falls should be completed.

H "'''"'""'''''''''-''""''"''''''' m v ANNOUNCEMENT OF COLD BLOODED FACTS First. We live in the Rogue River Valley. Second. We are direct factory-to-homo distrubntoi-s for the world's best pranos and player piano? at t'ne least possible exponsc,and can give you more for your money than any dealer on the face of the eart barring none. Listen to me, piano buyers. We don't ship ou r pianos in trainload lots, but we do actually ship car load lots and this alone enables us to get the lowes t possible freight rates given to any living institution in the piano business. To back up this statement, v o refer you to the railroad company, who will tell you that we are absolutely correct. We don't handle fifty-five different makes of the world's leading pianos and we have $500 in gold coin that says that you can't walk into any piano house on the Pacific coast and find fifty-five different makes of the world's best pianos on their floors. If you can, this is easy money the ones that claim this to be true. Flayer Pianos The Appollo Now, hear me, piano buyers ! I want to appeal to your common sense and better judgment. If a dealer will lie to you when the truth would serve better about the amount of goods they are handling, why won't this same statement apply to the quality of the goods they are ottering tor sale ( We don't flood the country with certificates more worthless than the paper they are written on calling for from $300.00 to $125.00, good to apply on any piano we handle. Now to show you that these certificates are more than worthless to you, take one of them to the dealer who puts them out and demand that he give you a poor little talking machine, say, worth $10.00, and see how quick you will get turned down. Then isn't this proof that our statements are true. How does this appeal to you? "We buy our goods as cheap as any concern doing business. We have no rents to pay. We have no salaries to pay. We have no big hotel bills to pay for our traveling men. We have no dray bills to pay, for we have our own deliv ering outfit and Ave will do more for your money when it comes to piano quality than'any dealer possibly can and this we guarantee to do. Doesn't it appeal to you that we can save you money on that piano. Why, over two thousand customers in the Rogue River Valley alone will gladly testify to this fact. What stronger proof could you demand than this? Since Ave opened our wholesale Avare rooms on Oak dale Avenue and Tenth Street Ave have sold more pianos than all the other dealers put together from Eugene south to the California line. Every time you fail to investigate the pianos sold by ITalo's Piano House ,Avou jiiht fail to retain $100.00 in your bank ac count. We carry more pianos in stock to select from than all oth v dealers put together, ft makes it a f Hi vUKSRwwT V f, IT ' TPKff maw ; jjjSHBuKImIbhEH i UkkzWkA 4KtllK ":' . j i' JLjijSHnnKlHnSKiHMHiHH M4"MW!ir3ttirF''lr''9HB1!IHHHHBBKyriHBvfflliHlW 'M DEAL AT HALE'S. IT MEANS ABSOLUTE SATISFACTION. WE ARE THE BUSIEST AND BEST IN SOUTHERN ORE Hale's Piano House pleasure to select a piano from our stock. We have brand now pianos for $1G5.00. You pay just $100 more elsewhere for the same piano. $10.00 down, and 12 cents per day will put this piano in vour home. We are the factory distributors for the following renowned high grade pianes: The old reliable Chickering Hros., the only Chielc ering piano that is built by the Ohiokering liros. and not by the American Piano Company, a large trust. The old reliable I vers & Pond, Boston's most cele brated piano of the day. McPhail, another one of Boston's fine pianos; more than 110,000 alone in its home town. Laff argue, tho finest piano that has ever been built for the money, and all the large dealers declare that it is the finest agency of them all. We all know the glorious old reliable Sterling piano that has been manufactured since 18(5(5. Huntington, the only piano of medium price that Paderewski will endorse. This means that we have (lie finest agency that can be obtained. Mendelssohn, the favorite of all pianos in its class. The Apollo, the oldest in America and tho best in the Avorld. Laffarguo Player Pianos. Sterling Player Pianos. Mendelssohn Player Pianos. The best is none too good. They cost you more money but you get your money's worth in tholong run.
