FTYIS STAGE FIGHT, ONE OF MIL LINES WIELDS AN AXE A warrant for the arrest of Charles Welch, a Prospect rancher, was is sued this morning; by the district at torney's office upon the complaint of 8am Burns, 70, resident of the same district, who alleges that Welch struck him over the right eye with the broadside of a double-bitted axe Tuesday afternoon, Inflicting a wound necessitating four stitches. - According to Burns' story, he was struck without warning from behind by Welch near Welch's front gate as he was leaving for his home. Before the blow was Btruck, it Is understood, an altercation between the two men had been In progress on Welch's ranch over a business deal. Burns had completed the making of 3000 shakes which were to he given to Welch, It is said, in exchange for a horse. Burns coming from his place to the Welch ranch told the latter that he did not want the horse and that it "was no good." Welch resented this, according to Burns' story, and picked up an nxe. with which he had been chopping wood some distance from the house, in an effort to strike him. Burns grabbed the handle to stay the impending blow. With' their hands on the handle the men continued to quarrel and finally decided to fight. Taking one hand off the handle Burns clnims hethrew a 22 calibre rifle from his shoulder, hut Immediately replaced his hand without using it. Talking a short time longer a reconciliation apparently had been effected, as both men, it is snid, walked toward the Welch farm house from their position a short distance nbove. Welch was carrying the axe. When they arrived at the gate, Burns states that he had advanced two step's en route home with his back to Welch when Welch struck him. The blow Is said to have knocked Burns Ih feeu The injuries are not serious as he came to the city to file the complaint, charging assault with a dangerous weapon. Both men have lived in the Prospect district for years and are well known. LOOK OVER VALLEY EAST INDIAN SEER ORDERED TO LEAVE i Professor Multatule Van, occult and spiritual teacher of Sumatra, Bast India, will follow bis iirorexsion In Wedford no. more, having, run ul'oul of a city ordinance requiring all for tune tellers or seers -to pay-, a license of $10 dally. Professor Van. after a long conference with Chief of Police Adams and Assistant City Attorney Skyrman this morning, came to the conclusion that It would be best for him, financially, to find a more lucra tive field. Upon leaving' the attorney's office he thanked the city officials for their courtesy and said: "1 hope you glff me 24 hours for me to leev. My wife, she is red hair, and I must tell her we go." . The professor arrived here about 20 ' days ago and since that time had plied his trade unbeknown to police, but It Is said that he met with no great success. . OKA.NTS PASS. Oct. i J.-MRpocln!) Two rwonnni.sHAnce partU'H, repr- senling the northern or Hill linen now. seeking entry inlo Klamath Kails, will be in the field out . from OraniH Pass next week. This sliile ment was made here today by a man close to the. railroad situation. An article given to a Portland paper on Hunday by Knlph Uudd. president of one of the northern roads, stated that the Hill lines are looking forward to the qcqulHitlon of the P. & K. Into Medforit from Kutte Falls and the ('. & (). out of (Irants Puss toward the coast. This kIvcs credence to the reports that the Hill lines are now actively engaged in securing information re garding trte tonnage available, be tween here and- the roast. Arrangements for the two parties are now being made and.it is ex pected that theyi will be ' out all winter. The lumber and mining re sources will receive considerable at tention, especially the timber, which Is drawing the Hill lines into the Klummh country. The most prac tical route to the coast will also : be located by the parties. The Weyerhauser lumber Interests, which are largely responsible for at tracting the Hill lines Into Klamath Kails, .have large holdings next to the Owen company near Jiutte Kails and It is exnected that the roads would build toward this stand.; The Hill agents will spend some time on the coast, investigating the timber stands in that section. They now have a man In Douglas county lii yestigatlng this same feature. it Ih also known that N." H. Knt ler, locating engineer for the Hill lines, Is in Cirnnts Pass for several days getting necessary data on ton. nage. The development in this re glon In the pnst IS years, or since the last Hill survey was made, being carefully ' checked. :v ; F. C. DILLARD40 BE IN CHARGE OF WATER SURVEYS After having given much itudy to the engineering problem concerned In 'the construction of Medfnrd'g new $1176,000 water system since the pas sage of the bond Issue, the city water commission last night decided to em ploy K. C, Dlllard, the well-known Pa cific coast engineer, on a monthly basis to have charge, of the construc tion of the new system. Mr. Dlllard, who will have the title "engineer for the city water commis sion," assumed his duties at once and was busy today making preparations incldontul to immediately resuming! locution Burvey ' work where he leu off prior to the Bpeclal election, be tween Big Butte springs and the liutte Palls divide, so as to complete the work In that sectloni If possible, be fore the winter storms set In. Then when stormy weather pre vents. Engineer Dlllard will get his force busy at laying the extensions In the city to the present Bystem, so as to have that work finished this winter. Thus time will be gained In the con struction work of the new Bystem. Also, the laying of the extensions in the city this winter will enable all sections of the city to enjoy a nearly equal pressure from the present sys tem next summer. From the best information obtain able It seems that the new water system will not be available and ready for uboi until a year from next May. It will probably be February 1 next before the necessary data will be I ready for contractors, on which they can submit bids. , I The city water commission ulso last j night formally confirmed the agree- I'msnt recently reached with the city council by which the commission will take over entire supervision of the city water affairs, thus allowing Superintendent C. V. Davis to- give all his time to other city business. This chance will take nlace as soon latter the first of next mouth as prac ticable. HAS CAR STOLEN KRLSCh Wash., Oct. ". 21.

Tea and Sulphur for darkening fcray, streaked and fad ed hair is grand mother's recipe, and folks are again using It to keep their hair u good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when youth ful nppearance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome ttink of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, for only 75 cents. It is im proved by the addition of other In gredients, and is called "Wyeth's Sage and .Sulphur Compound." ' H Is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with It and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn ing the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladles with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, la that, besides beautifully dnrkening the hair after a few applications, it also pro duces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which Is so attractive. adv.
