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.

spiritual teacher of Sumatra, Bast
India, will follow bis iirorexsion In

of a city ordinance requiring all for

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

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

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.

TORN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
The old-time mixture of Sage. 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.
