Mrs. Kinrs has been almost nrostrnted over sinee her husband was wounded, and wns brousht with the babv to the sanitarium Wednesday, both so ns to bo near him and to re- ccivo medical treatment. The other three Riirirs children are bcinir cared for bv Rites' sister. Rices' storv of last Monday nieht's nffair varies widely from that told on ' Tuesday niornin bv Domitv Sheriff McDonald, and the wounded man de clares ho will brine suit aeainst both McDonald and Jackson ' county for what ho declares was the speed cop's unwarranted attack on bun. " 1 His storv was .related between spasms of pain and in an unmistnk .1 nble southern accent, he harine oric inallv come here about seven years aeo from Tennessee, Rises, who talks willinclv and franklv several times re peated after the storv had been told. "That's the truth honest it is." He was vigorously cross Questioned as to details but1 from beginning to end he never varied in anv particular. His version was oracticnllv ns follo.vs V . Klggs Story of Affair " "Monday at 6 o'clock we miit work in the Frink. orchard of which I am foreman and started in on automobile to go to Med ford to eet supper in a restaurant. There were four of ns. But when we got in front of the Three Oaks orchard we stopped a while and finally changed our minds abcut going to Medford to supper and decided to go back home. All except one of our number were for eoing home, and he wouldn't get back in the car and insisted that we go on to . town.'1 ' w- "W'e had had n little to drink but wore perfectly sober, and we argued . and argued with our friend to get back into the car and go on home with us. But he was stubborn. He just orneried and orneried. Finally we' decided to go back without him. It was this fuss with him that prob ably made someone think that we were drunk and phone to town for a deputy sheriff.. !:. . ..; ..,. ,:.., - " ! ! "Well, he continued ornery and so we decided to go back without him. and I started the car away. The first1 . I knew of any one-else being near was when McDonald appeared -on .the. L running board of our car with a gun in one hand and began shooting back of the car presumably at our friend in the road. At the same time he ; called out to me with an oath, 'stop the car or I'll kill you.' .. , i A- McDonald's Shooting "I was "skeered because he was mad and shooting at some one out ' side the car and because I knew he had it in for me because of mv having gone on Roy Hendrickson's bail. Then too. coming : down the stairs after Hendrickson's trial last Saturday he was heard to say to some one, "I'll get some of those fellows vet.' "I did not say a word to hiniu I had no revolver. I was so skeered fo fear he would torn around 'and shoot me that I kept on ahead with the car. I did not strike at him with a bottle. Had none to strike with. None of ns even bad a pocket knife. I- would be a fool to attack a man in anv way who had a gun in his hand and was .. shooting. ' - - "Finally I turned mv head aronnd to get another look at McDonald and saw he was not on the running board any longer and wasf not in sight. About that time the windshield was shattered. . I felt a pain in mv shoul der and said to tlje boys. 'He's shot me.' Thev doubted my statement at first, and we ran the car to the home of a friend and phoned to Medford for a doctor. That's all there was to it." : JTarTow Escape From Death - The above storv was practicaly the same as Riggs told after the shooting Monday night and Jater at the hos pital in Medford. - Biggs had a narrow ' escape from death the same as Riggs told after, the shooting Monday night and later at the hospital in Medford.' ' Riggs had a narrow escape from . death as the bullet which struck him in the right shoulder passed clear through his body, missing his lungs bv about a half inch and an important . arterv by about the same distance, and passed with sufficient force to penetrate through the windshield of the car. - . ' . An eyewitness of the shooting from a distance and another man yester day paced off the distance from where he had seen McDonald shoot ing ut the car to where the broken windshield glass was in the road, and found the distance at which the speed cop was shooting to hit tho rear tires over 100 yards. !

WOULDN'T TAKE A IT Tnnlitc Prove of I'ntoUt Value This Man its Twenty 1 i . , Oito INmiuls, to AT SEATTLE QUIT SEATTLE. March 14. Nearly -.- 000 Seattle shipyard workers ' who hove returned to work since Tuesday. when a strike was called off. have left their posts, it became known todav. because of dissatisfaction with the terms of reinstatement. One of the chief causes of the new walk out. the men said, was the fact that the bonus system was abolished when the men returned to work. Dur ing the war the men were paid bonuses over the regular wage scale. . Dis criminations are also alleged. Most of the men who left were riv eters employed in four steel yards. Some left yesterday while others walked out today. Unless more men walk nut the plans will continue o operate.. ' PORTLAND.

Sometimes for three or four hours , after my meals I would be all bloated up with gas and suffer something awful with shortness of breath. I was badly constipated most of the time, and occasionally suffered from headaches. My kidneys gave me lots ot trouble also, and I had a dull, heavy pain across the small ot my back all tha time. 'All my strength and energy seemed to gradually leave me, and I lost a lot in weight, and finally got so weak and worn-out that I had to give up my work and far three months I was not able to do a hands turn. "I heard So many folks around Portland talking about the good this Tanlac was doing them that I decid ed to buy a few bottles and see it it would help me. Well, sir, I don't be lieve It ia possible for anybody to im prove faster than I did after I .began taking that medicine. My appetite improved from the very first bottle, the condition ot my stomach soon Im proved so much that I could eat Just anything I wanted and I would not have indigestion afterwards. -1 kept on taking Tanlac and the more I took the better I felt, and after takfng six bottles all my troubles disappeared. I am never bothered with that pain in my back, and my kidneys seem to be in good condition. I am rid . of constipation, and never have a head ache at all. I have gained a lot in weight, in fact I weigh more today than I -ever weighed in' my life, and thanks to Tanlao, I am well and strong in every way as I ever was, and am glad to recommend it ; to everybody." - Tanlac Is sold in Medford by West Side Pharmacy, In Gold Hill by M.
