It has been learned that the enemy

to that fart Is attributed his heavy
artillery fire. (ins, high explosives
and shrapnol wero fired both from In

ITH JURY: INDIA!
The perjury case against J. K.
Miller went to tho Jury In United
States court hero this noon, and the
work of selecting a new Jury to try
tho case against K. L. Paddock,
charged with selling liquor to Klam
ath Indians, was begun Immediately
after the Miller jury filed out to be
gin its deliberations.
The selecting of the new Jury caus
ed much worry and murmuring on
tho part of a number of Medford bus
iness men who were summoned this
morning In the jury venire, and de
plored tho fart not only that they
had to wait this forenoon at tho fed-
oral 'building until the Miller case
was finished, but at tho prospect of
being hung up on jury duty this
afternoon and perhaps all of tomor
row. Ah the names of H old Jurors
wero still left in the selection box it
was thought that most of the Med
ford men who were summoned by
the deputy V. S. marshals might be
excused. The marshals in their
quest for prospective Jurors made a
raid right thru the business district.
Some of tho men wore caught hard
because of pressing business and In
two instances men wore summoned
who were the only ones left at their
stores, and would have to close them
up If it was insisted that they go on
the Jury. Tho work of impaneling
and selecting the jury was still on
early this afternoon, and It was
thought most of the Medford men
would be excused. A number of
them put up good and earnest rea
sons in seeking to be excused.
The Medford men summoned In
the jury venire today wero Kinll

Kurly this afternoon the jury In
the Miller rase was still out. It now
looks as If the court term would last
until late Saturday at least, as after
the Paddock trial, which will prob
ably last Into Saturday forenoon,
still another case is to be tried.

at various points, according to the
official statement Issued from Bel

APPRECIATIVE WOMEN
How often Is the question' asked,
"Are tho testimonials of I.ydra E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound gen
uine and true?" In answer to that
question we want to answer most
emphatically yes: and it Is gladness
for health restored by the use of
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after weeks, months and some
times years of suffering that has
prompted these women to write such
letters In order that other women
who suffer as they once did may
profit by their experience. Adv.
