Hoth Odder and b'agsdate had at tempted suicide ten days before, the former by poison and the latter by cutting bis wrists. The authorities are of the opinion that it was J. !.

There Is abun dant evidence of this intention, Kugs dnle bad repeatedly threatened to kill his family and it wuu largely because of fenr for their lives that led to his Initial nrrest on an insanity charge. It is also known that when Hags dale returned to Jull he told tho Jailor that there was only one tlitiiK he wanted befaro being taken to Salem and that was to see bis family Hs.iln. lie repeated this request several times and ft is believed that it was bis entreaty to be nllowed to speak to bis family over tho telephone that led to the traRedy.

If the patriotic, and the nenr-pn-triotic residents of: Jackson eounfv quickly don't "Watch Their Step,'' they may find nttached to the county the stigma of fuilure in the lack of j response to the efforts of the na tion's government to sell in Jackson county and Medford their just pro portion of the Liberty" loan bonds. Medford's allotment is $1(10.000; Jackson county's outside of Medford, is about $140,000. The county and city' yesterday .were forty percent "shy"; they arc still about 40 per cent "shV The foregoing is the opinion of nt least four men in this city in position lo know. The four banks of Medford bnve subscribed to nn aggregate of $7f),00l) in Liberty honds. This amount, how ever, was figured in yesterday's es timates in the Mail Tribune. Poor Are Kos)ondlng. The "plain people," meaning the poor man and the wage earner lately has been responding generously. In nroof of this, after reading in yes terday's Mail Tribune of the possi ble failure of Jackson county to do its full duty and Friday noon, June 8, is the Inst hour in which it csn be done the number of subscribers tak ing ifoO nnd $100 bonds the last twelve hours has equalled the total number of all subscribers, big anil little, since the bonds were put on sale. What is our nilment? The state of Oregon, outside of Jackson county, and the city of Portland, are report ed oversubscribed. The belligerent bird, bis mouth twitching and swaying with anger, nnd his incarnadined jowls bellowing for revenge, nnd chiding the president of the I'nited States for his efforts to keep this country out of war, has been a familiar ty here for two years nnd his numbers were ninny. Where is this war-lusty eaglet nowf Probably to old lo meet the draft requirements, he, at least, should do the next best thing, namely purchase powder nnd balls and shells, socks anil food for those who are willing to fight. Another Boy Subscribes, But there are pleasant angles here and there. Robert Lee Rollins cele brated his fourteenth birthday by the purchase of a bond. The lad is the son of Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Rollins, the third youth to buy a bond. The iledford Typographical union, at a meet Tuesday night, voted unani mously to Invest Its surplus in the purchase of liberty bonds.
