frauded a number of Medford and
Jackson county people, in the sale of
stock, District Attorney Newton Bor
den went to Sacramento to make the
argument before tho chief executive.
The next step is to catch Martin,
who Is at liberty In the neighboring
state. He was held under bonds, and,
when they expired were not renowod,
hence Martin went his way unmolest

The cost of tho armory, building
used up nearly nil of the money ap
propriated by tho atato, county and
city and It has been left to the local
National Guard organization to put
on the finishing touches and really
make the -building available for the
many different uses It is being put to.
To do this the National Guard have
put on ono benefit dunce this winter
and have gone as far as it was pos
sible to go with the money obtained
from that affair. . It has been under
stood that several of these affairs
would have to bo given through th'o
winter and as there is no other dance
in town on Christmas evening, they
have dechlotl to give a dance at that
time. As tho comfort the public will
get from tho use of the armory will
depend upon the equipment in It,
there is no question but what the
dance will receive public support and
be well attended.
