"I told Mr. Fleming, the courthouso

A facetious member of the audience
asked, "What do you mean by smoking
cigarettes at Kingsbury Springs?"
Sheriff Terrlll admitted the charge,
but explained that ho was 45 years old
before be committer! the offense. He
also said It helped his catarrh.
An elderly gentleman in the front
tow arose and wanted to know why
the sheriff had refused to get up when
a woman with a baby In her arms
stood. The sheriff was unable to re
member the incident.
It was also stated that one of tlio
makers of the "I smelled booze" affl
davits had been arrested for speeding,
before his sense of smell became
acute.
The audience was composed entirely
of Ashland voters with the exception
luring the meeting. W M Hrlggs, a.f u Me(lrord ie0)l0i wIllcll lnclU(c(,
pioneer lawyer of Ashland presided.
Jlo asked that all study and consider
what they heard before they voted, and
''to be fair."
Mr. Ilrlggs also dwelt upon the nose
accuracy of affidavit makers. He said
lie came in contuct with tlio breath of
a well known Ashland, resident a day
or so ago, and accused him of imbibing
moonshine The citizen maintained it
was "Whlstlo" andiproved it,: .
Judge W. M,,CoJvlg was the first
(Speaker of tlio evening. 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. Ho
said' that all tlio Ku Klux Klan had
dono was to divide the people of tlio
Rogue River valley into two factions,
and that the present bitterness and
dissension was driving away prospec
tive investors and settlers.
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. U. was being
made a catspaw of the Ku Klux Klan,
in an effort to elect ono of their own
number to tlio sheriff's office." Jlo said
' the peoplo would wake up soon to find
out they had been "suckers."
Attorney H. t Lindas was the clos
ing spcakor. ilo charged that the re

GRAND JURY ISSUES INVITE
(Continued from page ono)
Wednesday, April 12, the outstand
ing facts in the case being as fol
lows, and as reported at the time:
Sunday nlght'a developments be
gan with Alec iNorris, his son-ln-lnw,
Mr. Gooding, garage man; Paul York
aged 17 years, and Henry Johnson
aged 22 years, all of Jacksonville
leaving that city ut o p. m. in. an
auto truck to get some machinery ut
Ashland. 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.
An evidence of the appreciation of
he workers and students of the Port
land division was tho warm and com-
f.ortablo looking steamer rug pre
sented to Dr. Ilnboc and a smart
iladstone bag which Mrs. Rebec re
ceived. 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.
