Fred Hood Found Not Guilty
Stealing Red Cow, But Is
Immediately Tried On An
other Charge Too Little
Work, Says Father.
Fred Hood, a youth from the Klam
ath Indian reservation, -charged with
stealing a red cow, was found not
guilty by a jury in the federal court
Thursday afternoon, after one hour
and thirty minutes deliberations, and
wont on trial this morning, with his
cousin, Charles Hood, Jr., on another
cattle stealing allegation, which in
volves government cattle.
A special venire was drawn for this
case from local men, including Virgil
Strang, J. L. Reed. Ed Binns, W. A.
Gates and W. II. McDoland.
The principal witness for the de
fense in the acquittal was the de
fendant's father, Charles Hood, Sr.,
an educated Indian, licensed to plead
before) the Department of Interior.
He became confused In his testimony,
on the brands and Identity of the
cows, the Hood family were selling
to fittingly celebrate the Fourth of
July at BIy, but macfe a good witness
for his son, despite the comment.
"Fred stays around home most of
tho time, and is 23 past. That is the
way of my people. If we were not
civilized, he would have to get out
and hustle for him seir."
. At this remark everybody In the
courtroom smiled but the defendant,
who was resplendent In a new brown
suit, of the latest campus cut, new
shoes, and a modestly striped silk
shirt of the shipyard era.
Hood in his own behalf testified
that he had sold the red cow to Utter
and Casteel, Fort Klamath butchers,
for J 50, and that his brand was on it,
and that he had found it grazing on
the banks of Wood river. He sold 12
head of stock belonging to the Hood
family for $430, which included a
$100 advance, he testified. He gave
his father $200 of this sum, and
the family made the eagle scream at
BIy, July 4th, on the proceeds.
Among the jurors called in the
trial this morning of Hood and his
cousin was W. A. Gates, a grocery-
man. Mr. Gates asked If ho had en
countered any experience with the
aborigines, responded in the affirm
ative. "With what results?" asked Attor
ney Manning.
"Disasterous." replied Mr. Gates,
"I retained my doorknob."
A few moments later Mr. Gates was
excused from service.
The taking of testimony will be
gin this afternoon.
Thursday afternoon, Ed Justin, a
rancher of Plush. Oregon, was fined
$150 on conviction of a charge of be
ing In illegal possesison of a still.
The evidence was circumstantial.
It Is now expected that the sessions
of the federal court for the present
term of court will be concluded next
Thursday.

U. S. POPULATION
INCREASED BY'
DISEASE FIGHT
MADISON, Wis., Oct 7. Population
in the United States Is Increasing
rapidly due to the reduction In tho
death rate rather than to an increase
in birth rate, E. A. Ross, professor of
sociology at the University of Wiscon
sin said, speaking last night before the
students social science club.
Professor Ross advocated birth con
trol, saying that "twenty years ago
when I coined that grossly misused
phrase 'race suicide' I believed In large
families; today with changed condi
tions and years of deeper study of the
subject I have changed my mind."
He said that child labor laws, ad
vances In medical science, and pater
nalistic legislation have given the
white race a longevity unequalled
throughout the ages. Neither the
present or future generations would
benefit by an increased birth rate, be
cause, he said, increased birth rate 1s
accompanied without exception by an
increased death rate.

terday Causes Excitement
Throughout Valley Indica
tions Strong That Paying
Well Is Near.
Tho report In circulation in the
city lalo last night and this forenoon
that tho Trigonia company had struck
oil In paying quantity is not true, nnd
arose from tho fact that there Is a
splondld Bliowlng to indicate that oil
may bo struck In commercial quan
tity. This has been ki.own for some
time, hut yesterday nftornoon tho
bailer during tho process of drilling
out the under reamiiigs brought up
and discharged thick crude oil In in
creased quantities. Several pint bot
tles of this oil were ckimmed off and
brought to Medford by several per
sons, whero they havo been attracting'
considerable interest. The work of
cleaning out tho hole of the GO re
maining feet of tailings at its bottom
It was expected, would be completed
this afternoon.
Tho work of nctual drilling was
stopped last July with the drill at a
depth of 1 3f0 foet , with the drill In a
black Hmo Bhalo in a strong showing
of oil. This showing was such that
it was doomed wise toceuso further'
drilling nnd set casing in to shut out
tho water, which has been going ott :
since, and lu about completed, so that
drilling can soon be resumod.
The fact that of the 1350 foot
depth, thore Is a weight of 1100 feet
of water resting on the bottom of the
holo and there Is such a tremenduotts
pressure underneath sufficient to .
Torce the oil through the bottom nnd
the 50 foet or tailings make the out
look for striking oil tho best In the
history of the well.
