Definite action, look ing towards the acceptance or re jection will probably be taken at an early date. The action la an outgrowth of the damage suit of Mra. Nettle Marcho of the Applegate, heard last week, wherein she sued County Physician B. C. Wilson and County Jailer O. W.

One of the features of the trial waa the filing of an affidavit by Mrs. Lyda King, ousted county heslth nurse, alleging that Dr. Wil son Had made light of Mrs. Marcho's predicament, and spoken disparag ingly.

DEATH OF MARTIN FUNERAMS HELD Shooting of Mountaineer Probably Never Will Be Solved Is Local View Many Hunters In Vicinity Funeral servloes were held this morning at Trail for Lorla Martin, pioneer and mountaineer, slain last week the authorities believe, by an unknown hunter, in mistake for a deer. Interment was In Trail ceme tery. Martin death the second of this hunting season will probably be listed aa an unsolved mystery of the hills. It occurred last Wednesday or Thursday, and the body waa found Friday noon on the Umpqua Divide Trail, 14 miles from Trail, by Joe Roe. The district attorney's office la still working on details of Vie trag edy, but hope for no exact solution. unless the hunter, haunted by his conscience, voluntarily makes a clean breast of the sad affair. Reconstruct Scene The scene, after an Investigation last Saturday, has been reconstruct ed by the sheriff, as follows: That Martin, a trapper, was work ing with his traps on a bushy side of a gully when a hunter appeared on the opposite aide and aeelng a movement in Vie brush fired. The shot struck Martin In the left aide near the heart. The authorities think a cry of pain apprised the hunter of bis ghastly error, and he fled. Martin, with true worman'a instinct, though mortally wounded, staggered to the trail, realizing that .hla chances for aid and discovery would be best there. Sheriff Jennings aays that only a man In perfect physical condition could have trav elled the 75 feet to the trail. Wore Oray Shirt Assistant District Attorney Nellson said that Martin wore a gray ahlrt and hat and that the hunter might have caught a glimpse of this ap parol and mistaken them for a deer. Martin's gun, unflred, a hatchet and knapsack were found Saturday, 75 feet from where the body was found. A check-up by the authorities, shows that last week there were doz ens of hunters In the area where the fatality occurred. Ed Foster, a prospector of Jackson ville, was slain under similar circum stances In the timber near Ruch, shortly before the deer season op ened. i Meteorological Report October 19, 1931 FORECASTS Medford and vicinity: Tonight and Tuesday fair: moderate temperature.
