Clement of Rutland was niiumiiiteit by the republicans lor gov ernor yostcriliiv in a close three cor nered contest. FOR ARMY DRAFT Km-ly lodny the from 'JliOU lo 2100 men of Alculonl nnd Jackson county between the aires of 18 imM.' inclu sive, in common with thu estimated l:i,000f00(l men of the United States between those iipes, bean registering for the draft before the various regis trar npointed by t he draft board throughout the county. lty noon to day it was estimated that at least one-half of the Jackson county nien bad registered. The registration places, which opened at 7 a. tn., will he open until i) o'clock tonight. There were four registration places in Medford and at nearly all of them from six to fen men were in line wait in;; when the registrars opened up for business. From then on for two hours or more there was a rush of men to perform this fist act, by j:ov-, ernmental order, towards their indue tion into the war service of tboii country. !ly noon over liOO uen reg istered in Medford. All day lonjr busi ness and professional men, orchard ists, farmers, laborers, clerks in fact men from every station of life, called to register, the only necessary (pialii'icatioi) beinjr that eneh regis trant must be between the aes of 38 and 4 inclusive. While there was considerable joking and airy persiflage yet be imuMi it all there was a seriousness and impressiveness felt bv everv reg istrant. It was the first st-'p to wards personally entering actively into the reat war an(j severing tem porarily of home iivs. Darin-,' the tirt- hour or so this morumj. ihe work of registering on the part of the registrars wis somewhat s;iw, but. I hey soon became wanned nil ant; ih"ii the registration moved ;n faster and with clocklike precision. T!:" only confusion of the day was caused by ojiitc a number of men cillinir to register at another place, than Hint. dcinnted in (be district i.; which i they lived. This confusion did not i ar.ioiml to much, as whenever n regis trant appeared at the wrnnir nUvi! bis place of labor or business would not I'lve bim time to o to his prop?r rtyislnition place, the re-j'-trai would accpt bim. Otherwise he hau to no to the proper registration place. ihe county ilralt hoard tins no ex act means of dejcrniiiiiiiij just how many men were lo register today, but based its estimate of from 12,'JOO to '2, 100 men mainly from n comparison of the number of men between the ages of 121 and III who registered in J 1017, in the Tirst draft, with Ihe total number of men left in (be county. In the first draft 1,-liH) men were registered. An amusing incident of (he day was when William K llarber, the well known liarhor. called to register be fore Attorney Xewton W. Borden and gave Ins corcet name. Harden, who bar known Harber for several years, looked up purzlcd and mumured. inipiirinuly, ,'Mnrber, llarber?" "Yes, William liarher," re iterated the barber. It seems that Hordcn who bad often call ed Harber, Shorty or Shorty Har ber, thought that Harber was just a nickname, ami for a time this morning he suspected that Harber the barber, was kidding him. y The three numbers to be featured in the "procession of son;:," the even injr of Mothers' Day, September 21st, will be "America," "Keep' the Home Kires ISurninir," nml the "liatlle Hymn of the Iiepublic." The community singers of Medford nnd I'hoenix will be specially truiued and directed bv Mrs. George Andrews, ehairmnn of the music committee. All of the mothers in the .Medford district in tending to lako part nre asked to learn the words of the chorus to "Keep the Home Kires Burning" nnd Ihe mothers from outlying districts to become familiar with the first nnd last verses of the 'liatlle Hymn." The words arc here given and they will also he thrown on the screen nt local theaters: ; ; Keep the home fires burning, - While your hearts nre ycni'iiing Though your lads nre far awny They dream of home; There's n silver lining, Through the dark elnud shining, Turn the dnrk cloud inside out, Till the boys come home. Ilattlo Hymn .Mine eyes have seen the ".lory of the coming of the Lord ; lie is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; llis truth is marching on. In the hcautv of the lilies Christ was born ncross the sea. With 11 glory in His bosom that (runs figures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let in die to make men free.

BY SHOT FIRED FLEE M TERROR Tlint Mipposed lnnrilcr nt Huckle berry mountain turned out to be much ado nbout not hint;, nml yet there liiny have been somcthiujr in that nothing il only the two Klamath Indians con cerned would tell the officials what Ihey know. , There wns no murder hut Ihere may hnve been nn u!tc:iiit at one. It 'seems that about 30 o'clock Tuesday ni'ht the two Indians, who were on n huntin.ir nnd huckleberry picking expedition, were seated about their eampl'irc near the mountain when, us Ihey claim, some one I'ired n rifle shot at them, which missed. One Indian wns so badly frightened that he at onco .ran from the camp, leaving the other, who was his brother-in-law, nnd kept on running And wandering until he turned up nt I'rospecf nt 11 n. m. Wednesday all bloody nnd with his clothes badly torn from brush crutches, lie declared that his brother-in-law hail been killed.. Thereupon a message was phoned to Ihe sheriff's office in Jacksonville to tit ii t effect, nnd Deputy Sheriffs Stansoll mid Garrett left huricdly for Huckleberry mountain. At Prospect after hearing the Indian's story they went on to Huckleberry mountain and made a search in that region for the Indian supposed lo have been murder ed. He was found hiding several miles nway from the camp. It is thot the Indians know who Trod at them, and that the attempted murder, if there wns one. may have been Ihe result of n row or feud among Indians ...
