heir-inflicteil sun shot wound." ac
cording to the verdict reached by
the coroner's Jury at the inquest

Crose, Dr. C. A. Hcuchler. Loren
GreRory and V. M. Howard.
The firtit witness called wan Dr.
A: K W. KreHKe, who reached the
Kverett Leeson ranch, where the
sluiotlni; occurred, a few minutes
after the accident. He testified
an to the range of the bullet,
which entered the left lung be
tween the third and fourth ribs,
went between the eleventh and
eighth rlhs in the rear and lodged
In the cawing of the door on the
unclosed back porch of the house.
Statements which the dying
man had made while in a semi
conscious state, regarding his in-
uA.jiei iciice witn u rearms, vun-
vineed the physician that the death
was accidental, according to his
testimony.
Dr. H. K. Green, who was call
ed to the bedside of Klton lleeson
by Dr. "Kresne shortly after six
o'clock, substantiated the testi
moiity of Dr. Kreese when he was
called to the stany).
lOverett Heeson, brother of the
deceased, testified under the ex
rtniuation of Deputy District At
torney Frank P. Farrel that
his lirother had no financial wor
ries, was happy in his domestic
life, was in good health and was
of an unfisualiy cheerful disposi
tion, thereby having no apparent
motive for suicide.
That his brother was unfamiliar
with the Luger pistol with which
lo shot himself, was another
statement made by Kverett Bee
son. The latter had left the de
ceased a minute prior to the ac
cident and went down into a field.
He was retuinii'g to the house
when he heard the shot, and saw
Jus brother walk out onto the
porch.
"1 was fooling with that, gun
and shot myself," Klton said, ac
cording to the testimony. The
injured man, held his hand over
the wound.
"Did you shoot your hand?"
Kverett said lie asked.
".No," said Kit on. and sunk to
J he ground, unconscious. Kverett
moved his brothfer unto M couch
in the living room of the house
and called the doctor. Later he
discovered the bullet of the, gun
in ti e ca.semont of the door.
Other witnesses, were Jonas
Snil.er, who was on the ranch
neighbor and friend, who was call
ed to the home shortly alter the
accident. Their testimony corro
borated that of Kverett lleeson.
Miss Olga Hanson, general nurse
who attend Klton lleeson after his
removal to the Sacred Heart hos
pital next testified, as to state
ments the wounded man had made
pi lnr to his death.
"My God, what did I do to my
self?" she said he repeated over
and over, at one time when she
was alone in the room with him.
She also testified p fhat he had
mumbled something about fooling
with the '!iin. and knowins noth
ing about firearms.
The jury deliberated 25 minutes
before bringing in their verdict of

: book is by Mrs. Alice Applogatc
; Sargent of Jacksonville, one of
i southern Oregon'n best known pio-
neer (laughters, and the widow of
i Colonel 11. H. Sargent, nationally
, knmvn military expert, former city
! councilman of Med ford, and' a
i prominent and greatly beloved fig-
lire in this part of the state.
) The jjiiiklug characteristic of
i Mrs. Sargent's book is Its slmplle
! Ity and freedom from any self
I conscious literary effort so often
.the weakness of the dairy form of
personal narrative. Invents of
thrilling character nnd genuine his
torical lmpoidnce are condensed
In a few paragraphs, and yet the
story an a whole gives an unusually
faithful and graphic, picture ! of
army life during the 'Spanish war,
and the adjustment period follow
ing, particularly In the 1'hilfp
plnes. .
Colonel and Mrs,' Sargent were
close friends of the late president
Itoosevelt, and the vivid glimpses
ne gets of T. JI. during the height
j of his career, have genuine his
torical importance, it takes only
a few minutes to read the book
j from cover to cover, and yet it is
I so packed with real atmosphere.
and uch genuine patriotic feeling,
j that one cannot lay it down with
out making a mental note that it
1 is something one must turn to from
; time to lime, not only fur enjoy
j moot, but for inspiration,
j "Following the Flag' has recciv
j ed favorable notices from many
j eastern reviewers and newspapers,
i The following from the Kansas
; City Star gives one a furiheu idea
i of what a wide range the little vol
l ume covers:
j "Following the Flag" is a
I narrative of events following
; the author's marriage In, 1 smi
I to a young second lieutenant
of cavalry stationed at old Fort
Klamath In eastern Oregon:
life at western army iosts;
marching overland; the cam
I paign of Santiago, Cuba: her
first and second voyages to
the Philippines, and her ex

WEEK OBSERVED
! This is Children's Hook Week,
a most Hiiiruhlc time to talk to par
ents about their children's read
ing, a subject w ich many of them
consider of small importance, but
which educators recognize as ex
tremely important. 1-rctptently. In
my conversations with t children
about their reason for not taking (
home more lxoks to read, they
reply by telling me that mother1
doesn't want them to waste their,
time reading, or that they have
to spend it on their lessons. !
What a discouraging answer It j
is, the one that dismays any touch
er or librarian most, because it
shows that the mother or father,
has not really given the subject ;
any thought at all. Any teacher;
knows that it isn't the child who;
reads merely, his history or goog- j
raphy lesson, tho stipulated num-!
ber of pages each day, that heudj'
the class. It's the one who has)
read history stories and tales of :
other lands in his leisure time 1
who really understands the formal 1
lesson material best. My seckin-'; ;
amusement through reading, a j
chihl absorbs an unbelievable '
amount of information, a back- j
ground of the richest kind, and
one he will l ave with him all his
life. A boy or girl will forget many5
of the dates learned in 'history'
class but never the forgets the i
impressions gathered from a good ;
story on that same historic period.
lies ides information, books con-:
vey ideals to children, they accept
them without realizing it, ami be
cause of this, willingly. A book
whose hero has noble ideals, im
presses a boy more than ten ser-!
mons. So urge rather than dis
courage your children to read. Re
member that from the time they
are in the fourth grade until they
begin hk;h school they will road
more books thnn at any other
period of their lives. Iteforo that
most children have not mastered
il c mechanics of reading and later
many other things come to claim
their time. So do not worry if
taey are "hook worms" at this
time, hut help them in making a
good choice of books. Send them
to the library, consult lists of
hooks suggested by the teachers,
and librarians, be pleased If your
child 'Moves reading mote than
any other fun." Alter a long day.
at school, and hard playing out-!
of-doors after school, what fun it
is to curl up quietly In tiie big!
chair at home with a good hook.
For, information and inspiration
visit the public library and ftce tho
exhibit of children's hooks display
ed in the club room during hook
week. You will wish you were
again eleven years old or ,' only,
eight, if you plan to. give, chil

Once in a w hile u newsboy will i
go to the dogs, but of late It has j
become the fashion in the rural,
districts around ledford. for the:
dot: to go tit the newsboys, to get :
the evening paper, instcV f jh'-:

it. i
Several canine newsboys h;iv,
been trained during the past year)
to meet the rural circulation men
of the Mail-Tribune several leagues
from their homes, take tho evening
paper from them and run back to
their owners with a speed that
van not be equalled by the weary
carriers.
Many of the dogs are familiar
with the carrier's whistle and
leave their homos as soon as they
hear It in the distance. Others
set out at the same time each day,
regardless whether they hear -the
whistle or not. and wait for Hie
carrier to appear.
Among the dogs which are said
to have earned a medal for their
services in this work, are those
owned by A. W. Sullivan nnd It.
