Fish, until recently manager of Brown's confectionery, each charging him with uttering a fraudulent check, were dismissed after trial, Justice Taylor holding that the evidence and facts In the case failed to show Intent to defraud. The cases grew out f the financial troubles of Fish whlcn finally com pelled lilm to close tho doors of Urown's. The complainant In each case was Edwin J. White or the While Velvet Ice Cream company. These were the first two cases brought 111 this part of the state un der the new law passed by the last legislature relating to Issuanoe of fraudulent checks, drafts and the like. Medford attorneys In general have deemed tho law very weak and so has County Prosecutor Roberts, but the latter on the Insistence of While and also because he wanted to get a test ruling In court, finally Issued the ar resting warrants. . The new law provldeB that fraudu lent Intent must bo shown at the time a person writes a check on a bank In which that person has Insufficient funds to pay the check. The law further provides that In such a case when the receiver of the check learns that there is no money In the bank to pay It, he shall at once notify the maker of the check, and unless the latter makeB good the check within the next 2 4 hours this will be regarded as prima facie evi dence of Intent to defraud, and the maker shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. Knowing of Fish's financial diffi culties, White had an arrangement with Fish to call every night and re ceive a payment for all goods deliv ered by White that day. On the night of June 22, Fish gave White a check for $11.34 on tho Medford National bank. Testimony showed that for the next four days there was plenty of money in the bank to pay this check, but that White did not present the check until several days after that. Tho Bccond case charged Fish with issuing a check of $ 1 6.95 to White on the night of June 29, In payment for goods delivered that day. Early the next morning White deposited the check nt the Jackson County bank, with which ho transacts his business, and a few hours later tho bank noti fied him that the Medford 'National had returned the check marked "In sufficient funds." White then took the two checks with others that he had from Fish to the Medford Notional and presented them In person and was told there were no funds to cover any one of them. Whllo the circumstances varied a little from the surroundings In the first check case Justice Taylor rulod that tho facts and evidence did not show that at the time of making the second check Fish did It with fraud ulent Intent. The case has attracted considerable Interest in legal and financial circles of tho city because of the new law. Attorney Porter J. Neff and E. E. Kelly represented Fish at the hear ing. and John II. Fuller, county superin tendent of Sunday schools. Miss Henrietta Beatrice Honey, Im personator and dramatic reader. Musical concert. The Big Circus.

SEES HIS SOLDIER SON f A SEVENTH COMPANY IS ORDERED OUT JULY 25 Captain A. J. Vance of Company Seven received a telegram last night from Adjutant General White stating Ithat the war department has formally jordered the mobilization of the coast artillery, Wednesday, July 25th. The I first order for mobilization was for July 15th, later there was a rumor that this, would be extended several weeks but the present order removes nil doubt regarding the mobilization date. Captain Vance said last night that the present membership of Company Seven Is 120, which is eleven above the required total of 108. This means that eleven local members will be transferred to other coast artillery companies in the stato which have not reached full war strength. Medford is cue of thiee coast artillery compan ies in the state to luve exceeded Its quota.tho other companies being from Portland and Albany.
