The sheriff explained that the "courthouse yard was a. plotting Bpot," and tha "I told Mr. Fleming, the courthouso yard was a public place, but lie would have to quit prowling around nights, peeking into the jail windows, as he was liable to get hurt, as I didn't want a jail break on my hands."

He declared that Sheriff Torrlll "had been as offlc lout a sheriff as any ever elected in Jackson county," and backed his words with tlio declaration that he knew them nil, for he had lived hero 70 years, or so. He pointed out that the shorlff had handled over a million dol lars In tlio last year, but this was over looked, because of the vlgorousness of gossip. The report of the county audi tor commending the sheriff for the conduct of his office was read, and what the county was paying S. 11. ' Sandifer for doing nothing but trying to catch liquor violators. Ho urged Ashland voters to be fair. Gordon Voorhles spoke next.

V Dry Law Is Enforced Attorney Porter J. Neff gave a short talk, in which he declared that "It wns time for tlio votors to sit down on agi tators," and, "that the liquor laws were nowhere so drastically enforced as here." He charged that the county court was making a "gout" out of tlio fherlff, and that he was "not gottlng n fair deal from them, I honestly be lieve." ' Judge C. B. Watson in n short ad dress said "that the Ministerial associ ation and tlio W, C. T.

They did. not get the ma chlnory and were on their way home when near the Voorhles crossing their lights went out and a short time later two cars in which were sev en masked men aproached them and hold them up at the point of. revol vers. The men all wore flimsy veils with eyeholes cut out. This was at 11 p. m. Tho masked band ordered Gooding and Norrls to drive further up the road. Then ono of the men took young York to one side, admonished him to go to work and never be Been with Johnson again. Then five or six" of the others took JoluiBon away a short , distance and accused him of chicken stealing that had been going on In Jacksonville. This Johnson stoutly denied, whereupon his cap tors shouted for a ropo which they put around his nock and pullod, taut. Johnson still denied that ho had ever Btolo chickens and then was ask ed if he ever peddled any booze and if ho ever associated with any white women. Ilo nlBO denied these impu tations vehemently. In the mean time the captors had gone through tho motions of searching the auto truck as If thoy expected to find some moonshine there. Finally thoy asked Johnson, ''N'lg- ger, could you run, and let him go with tho warning to spoed away. They had addressed him as "nigger," all tho way through. A dangerous fire was narrowly averted at tho Riverside Standard un station this morning when two men drove, in with a truck and Myrl Uarnett, service station operator, be gan filling the gas tank. One of the men with tho truck standing at least five feet from the filling vent of tho gas tank, lit a cigarette. The wind was blowing to ward him and the vapor from the vxnt caught fire from the flame of the match. The gasoline began to blaze and flames roared from the vent of the tank. Garnett withdrew the hose, grab bed the two small fire extinguishers on the outside of the station and handed them to the truckmen who used them on the flames while Gar nett got the large extinguisher from the inside of the station. The entire contents of the small extinguishers and three gallons of extinguishing fluid from one of the large extin guishers were used before the fire was entirely put out. GETTING READY L Tho annual summer banquet of tho University of Oregon public speuklns dennrtmenl, Tort land center, which was held Monday nitfht at the Benson hotel, was in tho nature of a fare well for Dr. (ioorge Ucbcc, director of the Portland center. Mayor Baker resident P. L. Campbell of the Uni versity of Oregon, and Dr. P. M. Wemlley of tho Univeraity of Michi gan wero among tho speakers. Praise for Dr. Ucbcc and talks on tho early struggles of the extension work and what it has come to mean, marked the short talks of tho other speakers. They included Eurl Kll patrick, director of tho extension di- ision of the university; Prof. Mabel Holmes Parsons', professor of Eng lish literature, Portland center: Colin Dyment, dean of the literary depart ment. University of Oregon, and Dr. U. M. Wen ley, professor of philos ophy, University of Michigan.

Portland Juurnal. Dr. Rebec formerly lived In Mod- ford and still owns a ranch here. Mrs. Parsons is also an ex-Mcdford csident. Prior to the regular semi-monthly meeting of the directors of the Jack son County Fair association last evening, they visited the grounds and made an inspection of the Improve ments under way. The progress being made Is most satisfactory. The details of tho fair program were fully discussed and as a result there will be an especially strong evening entertainment. The employ ment of bands from Yreka, Grants Pass and Ashland as well as the Elks and D. O. K. K. bands of Mcdford was considered, but no net ion was taken as quotations received from some of them were beyond the finan cial ability of tho fair association to assume. The chairman of the committee in charge of tho premium book report ed that the same would be ready for distribution by the fifth of August. Tho directors were advised that a number of local speed demons were making preparations to enter the automobile races npd one resident has ordered an eight-cylinder car of u well known racing type. The plans for the automobile show wero approved and the proposed merchants building was considered necessary and the directors decided to ask the merchants of the county to double their efforts to get a build ing started as soui as possible even if tho sumo is half the si.o originally j) la nncd. This would be the mer chants' contribution to tho success of the fair. Many applications have been .re ceived for concessions and arrange ments aro now being made for merry-go-round and other riding de vices. No shows of , questionable character nor games of" chance will be permitted. Tho directors are more enthusiastic than ever as to there being a good at tendance astho publicity committee nas it program oi advertising mat cannot help but bring tho people here.

And It re quires no argument that ns between the private right of an individual and the public right of every voter in the county, the individual's right must yield. "A temporary restraining order should never usurp the functions of a demurrer; and this is what plaintiffs ask." "In spite of the disqualification of Judge Hamilton In this case, aftor con sidering the complaint, which 1 sent him at the time the restraining order was asked, and many of plaintiff's authorities, and hearing counsel's first argument, and ycrendant Florey's argument, he fully concurs with me in the conclusions I have reached. "1 have purposely avoided any ex pressions of opinion on the law of this case, which may come up on the merits later, and It is not my puriKise, to inti mate that plaintiffs contentions, or that defendant's contentions are cor rect, for that can only be known from a full and fair hearing of all the facts.
