THEFT OP FLOUR
L. R. James woa ghrrn prelim
inary hearing yesterday afternoon In
acting J untie Farrall's court on
charge of larceny ivolvini 16 sacks
c4 C.or stolen - troia th Central
roint mills. Th flonr was stolen trots
the mill warehouse on the night cf
September Uta last and at the time
of the robbery Deputy Sheriffs Fom-
cre-rk and Millard examined the mill
and diMorcred that the lock on the
dosr had boon ore ken and the flour
taken tc a aide door and hauled away
in a wagon. .
Previous robberies hod taken plae
and always the earn brand of four
a as taken. "'Snowy Butte." One of
the former robberies took place In
the first weak ot February, l9n,
when three sacWwere taken, and the
other on April 39. 1921. when the
amount was somewhat larger.
At the time of the April robbery
wheat waa also stolen and Deputy
Sheriff; Forncrook accompanied by
Sheriff Terrell followed the trail of
the wagon by a string of wheat left
by a torn Bark. This trail led to
ward the Gull Creek dUtrict where
James was living at the time and
suspicion fell on him.
Shortly after school started last
fall James and his wife and family of
five moved to Medford and recently
they moved again to a house about
cne-halt block from the end ei West
Second street. When they moved It
was ro tired that they transported a
large amount ot flour from one place
to another. Day before yesterday the
house at tbe end of Second street was
searched by Deputy Millard. Four
teen sacks of flour were discovered
and James waa placed under arrest
Tbe flour was the same brand as had
been stolen from the mill.
James .testified that he always laid
in a good supply of provintoas In tbe
fall as he had a large family and
believed in baying when hs was in a
position to do so, thereby guarding
against a winter without employ
ment. He denied baring eto'en the
flour and says that he can prove an
alibi; namely that be waa in Med
ford all sight on the date of the
robbery. , ,
' The defendant was bound over to
the grand Jury on his own reeognl
xance on the condition that he report
once a week as to bis whereabouts.
The family is in poor circumstan
ces and James was nna'j'o to furnish

BUBN08 AIRES. The Cruguayaa
divorce laws hare made the city of
Montevideo the Mecca of the ill
matched couples of the neighboring re
public of Argentina.
The Duenos Aires newspaper refer
to Montevideo as a "matrimonial safe
ty valve" and drily observe that up-to-
date divorce legislation has been ren
dered unnecessary in Argentina by the
enterprise of the Uruguayan law
givers.
According to La Razon of Buenos
Aires, the Montevideans (possibly lna
lit of repentance for having dissolved
so many Argentine unions) are now
endeavoring to hold the balance even
by making marriage an easy and expe
ditious matter in their capital.
Bo far have they gone In the latter
direction that they have been con
demned by bath Vruguayans and Ar
gentines. One cynical scribe, however

Fuses and Safety
A fuse in nn clectiit: chcuit in a safety device designed to open
the circuit at a certain load.
Itfl line is to prevent the wires in the circuit protected from
carrying more than their rated capacity and to prevent fires and
damage to electrical apparatus.
Fuses are placed at various points in the electrical circuits
where the wires branch or change size; also at the entrance to tho
building to protect the wiring in the building, and on tho polo '
outside of the building to protect the transformer and outride,
circuit. - ' ..
When a fuKo blows, there is usually a cause for it, sueli an an
overload or damaged circuit and the cause should le found and
repaired before replacing the fuse.
Better investigate and eliminate any risk that may exist. Your
