CRATERS FROUCm
PROSPECT
FEAST AND DANCE
Another Joyful event will bo writ
ten Into the annalH of. the Crater oltib
and again old man Gloom suffered
defeat at the hands of the Medfoi-d
boosters. ;
One hundred and j fifty hungry,
happy . Craters, Lady' Craters and
guests twice filled, to overflowing the
dining room of the Prospect hotel last
night and enjoyed the generous hospi
t tality of Jim Grieve and the tasty
P chicken,' mashed potatoes and straw
berries fierved by "Ma" Grieve. They
started to' arrive at noon time and, by
the time the gong sounded for the
first round at the dinner table the
' Craters had completely captured
Prospect park. "Dinner" was the
first' big event of tho evening for
dinner at Jim's hotel is always a big
affair. Then camo the main feature
of the evening's .program.
When all were seated in the dance
pavilion, adjoining the' hotel, Alco
holujt the Miracle Alan was presented
by- "Ten g" Tengwoldwho made the
assertion that "Alcoholus would an
swer any and all questions." And
Mr. Alcoholus, though quiet and un
assuming, did not disclaim this state-,
ment but proceeded to do the Impos
sible. With uncanny and super
natural ability he answered scores of
questions ranging from a request
from Abe Cunningham to know "Why
the women were so crazy about him"
to "Does Wlnnio Crowson walk In his
sleep" signed by the. "other lady In
the tent." Borne of the Craters say
that Alcoholus was no other person
than Alburtus, others say Alexander,
r stilt others recognized tho affable
Robert H, Boyl, secretary of the Bed
ford Chamber of Commerce. Anyway,
whoever Alcoholus was, he was clever
and certainly pocked a lot of joy Into
last night's frivolities.
At the wlndup of Alcoholus' seance
the Craters' eight-piece orchestra lim
bered up on a snappy foxtrot about
the "caretaker's daughter" and the
crowd did a little limbering up on
their o'wn' part. After a few dances
0 the Crater quartet consisting of Larry
Mann, "Boldy" Allen, Don Newbury
and "Spike" Dawson presented their
repertoire. The. Craters and guests
then danced 'till the sun began to
peep from the pine clad hills east of
Prospect and Jim started out to milk
the cows.
It was a grand party well up to
the standard of ''Ladies Night," Cra
ter eruptions of past years, and today
Med ford's busy business men are
walking the streets with tired steps.
E. E. Morton, of Morton & Morton
Mills, met with injury Monduy after
noon while engaged in dismantling
the flour mill at Central Point pre
paratory to moving it to this city. He
was standing on one of the supports
of the. second floor when suddenly
without warning it gave way causing
him to fall to the ground over twenty
feet beneath. In his descent he struck
a .truck loaded with lumber.
This tended to break his fall to
such an. extent that he miruculously
escaped death. Doctor lleckman was
immediately summoned; ho pro
nounced the unfortunate man not
seriously hurt. Mr. Morton was lacer
ated on the scalp so badly that sev
eral stitches were necessary. At pres
ent he is renting cosy, although he
had a very restless night.

AT
IT
PORTLAND, Ore..' May ID. Fed
eral Judge C. K. 1 Bean this morn
ing overruled the motion of Horace
Greely Wilson of Roseburg, former
Klamath Indian agent, for a third
postponement of his trial on charges
of violating the Mann act. Wilson
askod a further delay of six months.
"This appeal coming on the eve of
trial comes too late," declared Judge
Bean. "The fact that the defendant
is without money is no ground for
postponing a criminal trial. If this
ground would be upheld, it would
not he long until this excuse would be
used to postpono every criminal trial
that is set."
Judge Bean stated that the case
had already beon postponed several
times upon the request of the defen
dant, and that "there is no assurance
that he will be any more ready for
trial at the end of six months than he
Is today."
Wilson offered nn affidavit that
averred he had tried to sell his land
in order to get money for his defense
that he had been unable to do so,
that his first attorney had quit and
that his present counsel, L. B. Sand
blast of Portland, had only had the
case a few days, that he could not
bring witnesses here to combat the
first three counts In the indictment
and that it would bo necessary for
him to have six months In order to
prepare the defense.
In replying Assistant United States
Attorney Joseph Stearns declared:
"The government has shown the
defendant every consideration. But I
have it on most excellent authority
that M r. Wilson openly boasted on
the streets of his homo In Roseburg
that this case would never come to
trial. 1 have been informed that dur
ing the time he was supposed to be
traveling about getting hi3 witnesses
and trying to sell his property he was
playing cards In the club in Rose
burg." Stearns said the government has
spent more than $5000 bringing wit
nesses here from Washington, New
York, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los An
geles and other places.
Orpheum Jr. Advanced Vaudeville
at Hunt's Craterlan this afternoon and
evening offers a wide range of enter?
tertainment, centering in music, with a
different number in a ventriloquist
and impersonating number.
Maxfield and Stone, sing popular
songs and comedy blue tunes of late
vintage, mixed with lively patter and
piano playing. Both possess voices of
wide range and above the average in
sweetness. t
Two of tho cteverest colored vaude
ville performers before the public are
seen in Austin and Delaney, in "Tho
Syncopated Hotel." Both are natural
comedians, and sing and .dance and
make wise cracks. They portray a
pah of bellhops, one the dapper, type
and the other the lazy style. Their
imitation , of a jazz band is clever and
unusual.
Ventriloquism will bo presented by
Dave Rafael and company. Miss Vera
Welton, a clever and widely, known
impersonator assists. Five mechanir
cal figures, are used to carry a high
powered monologue. Special electri
cal and scenic effects heighten the
act. '

and did time, modern and eccentric
dances with interpretations, besides
harmonizing popular songs.
The show is ppened by Provost and
Ooulet, comedy acrobats., tl is not the
dumb play of the usual opener, hut
filed with lively chatter and the team
plays the guitar and piano, by way of
novelty, between twists and turnB.
'Topics of tho Day," and a lively
comedy are tho photoplay offerings.
The Craterian orchestra, under the
direction of F. Wilson Walte, will
