HUrrounds a recent attempt to steal a
will In Uclcrudo, and tho local court:',
are trying to boIvo tlio riddle. The in
formation thus far available points to
a whr romance In Siberia between a
Hosnlaii soldier and a Japanese wom
an, and further knowledge is belli-;
sought through diplomatic channels at
Tokio.
A,, thief stolo a docuiuout from a
translation bureau here, and was cap
tured, lie admits he did not Ret what
he was after. He says ho sought a
will in ado by the .lapanose woman In
question, who is described as wenlthy.
This man is the authority for the
following tale.
Ivan Mrkonja, a llosninn, 30 years
old, belonged to one of tho Austrian
divisions which deserted the Central
Powers and Joined with the Kussians.
Wl'.cn the riolKhevlst revolution cume
Vhd the Russians disbanded the old
nrmy, Mrkonja Jolnod ono of the wan
dering bands which fought Bolshev
ism, and wandered off toward Siberia,
lie was swept on onstward with the
Czechoslovaks whom Trotzky sought
to exterminate because they would
not join the communists. -llrkonja's
detachment was so hard-
prossod that hp and all his associates the general refugee camps.
SEVENTEEN DAYS
I fled Into the Siberian forests und scat
tered. In tho forest Mrkonja met a
Japanese woman wandering alone.
She knew little Russian, but managed
to tell li 1 in that her husband had been
killed while fighting the Bolshevists.
She had been condemned to death, but
escaped into the forest.
Mrkonja and tho woman bought a
toam and made their way southward
into Mongolia. There they found an
Interpreter, and the woman explained
to her rescuer thut she was a member
of tho family of Toganhama, and that
hor husband had left her a valuable
silk business. In expression of her
gratitude to Mrkonja, site asked hiin
to accompany her to Tokio and take
charge of her business. Tho Bosnian
consented and remained in Tokio for
over two years.
Ho was successful In developing tho
business, but became honiosiclt for
Bosnia and decided to rejoin his wife
and child. Ho confessed .to tho ju
uneso widow that he was married. She
inslstod that ho must return to Japan
Mind bring his Bosnian family with
ill m. Also she is alleged to have, made
j a hnnd-wrltteu will In which he was

I estate, said to bo worth several mil

mained with his family for only a few
days, and then suddenly disappeared.

Tho condition of the refugee camps
was almost Indescribable, according
to Dr. Wirt. Stripped of the veneer
of ordinary life, most of the refugees
quickly reverted to a state below the
lowest savages. There were no sanl-(

Four hundred of the Armenians, re

The very definite progress which has marked each succeeding
year in Velie manufacture is more emphatic in this year's
models than ever before not alone because of our own Ve-lie-built
motor, giving a degree of power and flexibility
heretofore unknown even to Velie cars, but also because of.
the refinement of craftmanship in body-building and finishing.
There are specially-designed parking lights and drum-type
headlights of distinctive design. An interesting removable
tonneau light on a reeled cord serves as a portable light when
needed. Nickeled trimming adds a note of beauty to even the
smallest units. Beautifully-curved, full-crown fenders accen
tuate the lines of the body itself, adding greatly to the finish
ed effect.
The Velie-built motor is as free from vibration at sixty miles '
an hour as at six, is automatically lubricated, dirt and dust
proof, overhead valve gives maximum power,
The general sales manager for Oregon is in Medford with a
latest model Velie to establish a distributor for Jackson and
Josephine counties for these popular cars and is located at 118
