"Just traveling" is the explanation
of Kdna Wilson, ngeduT, who disap
peared from hor hoare at Portland
two weeks ago, and who was found
by her mother ot Ajlilwid Wednes
day, after a wook's search. She said
she wiib willing to rtiurn home; tlmt
she had been alone, and that she hud
bad a moxt delight fiif time. All was
forgiven by the mother in the joy of
finding her dnughterfalive, well and
uninjured. A second pot card
mailed to her mother from Ashland
furnished the clmtimh led to th
finding of the gir. The card wttp
received h'y the hither at Portland,
who immediately wired Mrn. Wilson
in this city to proceed to Ashland.
Mrs. Wilson visited Aulnnd Wed
uoMlay morning, and at noon met her
daughter face to face on the street.
In mi instant tbur were in each oth

Ashland, as about half of my money
was gone.
"I have liecii ntne all tho time and
nobody took any nottoo of me. Hut
I won't try it iijin without letting

Tho first clue vihiolt Mrs. Wilson
had of her daughter's disappearance
came from Medtonl in tho shape of h
post ourd. She arrived here Moudav.
but couldd find no trace of the girl
until sho received a telegram from
hor husband nt Portland tbnt Kdua

tho mother to Afklnud, where she

Spurred 10 action by the ermtintfed
slaughter of their stock by timber
wolves, Jackson county stnekmou
have gotten together and made up a
purse, offering .fiO additional bounty
to the .'J.oO paid by the state for

duce scalps taken from a wolf in a
sjiccified territory of Jackson coun

country in the Cascade forest reserve
between the headwaters of Big Unite
creek and the headwaters of Little
Hut to crook.
There are twenty prominont Jack
son county stockmou who range their
cattle 111 this torritory on permits se
cured from tho government, and every
year their loss in Stock ktllod bv
wolves is no small item, whioh foot
justifies them in offering tho addi
tional bounty.
Alvin Uioberstedt, a stockman who
lives near Butto Falls, and who is
one of the men who will make up the
guarantee, was in Medford yester
day. Ho tells that he hns lost six
bond of cattle this season, and that
otbor stockmen lmvo boen quito as
unfortunnto as he has boon.
Mr. llioberstodt says tho wolves
usually go in bands of six or eight,
nud that it is not uncommon for them
to tackle and kill a full-grown cow.
Kspecially are they more liable to do
this if the cow hns a calf by her side
Mr. niebcrstedt stated also that he
this season found the bones of six
deer which had been killed by wolves.
