BEAR TAKES DEER
ELK CREEK AREA
The "bear that umii over the
mountain" sent a discordant note
Into the perfect song of a group
of local hunters a few nights ago,
when it discovered and totally de
voured one of five prised bucks,
shot and suspended from a tree
limb by the men in the Elk creek
district.
At least this Is the story which
accompanied the hunters and the
four remaining deer Into Medford
"this morning. H. L. Nobllt, Chea
ter Purcell and Alex Mtddleton, the
latter of 8an Francisco composed
the group who spent the past week
near Elk creek.
That the wooly mountain climber
prowled through the camp at night,
made his way along a snow cov
ered, fallen tree trunk until he came
; directly under the choice morsel,
and then proceeded to enjoy a full
meal, was the experience recounted.
Other local hunters who return-
' ed successfully from deer hunts
over the week-end were John Orth.
' J. J. Osenbrufrge, who visited the
Klamath district, Ned Cult, who
hunted In the Steamboat district
and Ernest Blden, who returned
yesterday from eastern Oregon with
a party of friends.

Once She Was London Society Light;
Now 'Sister Slade Is Gandhi's 'Shadow'
LONDON (AP) U feet of stal
wart womanhood: that Is 8hrimatl
Mlra Bhen. who shadows Mohandas
K, Gandhi, the Mahatma of India's
millions.
The "Ben" suffix to her Hindu
name means "slater." It typifies the
change In ber life since she forsook
her name Madeline Slade and the
gaiety of Mayfalr'a sophisticated soc
ial, whirl for the nun-like existence
In Oandhl's Ashram, or college, at
Ahmedabad.
She had to serve a year's proba
tion before the Mahatma would ac
cept her as a full-fledged member.
Nov she Is a sort of combination
nurse, housekeeper and super-secretary
to the gnomish wisp of a man
who is trying to. create an indepen
dent nation out. of the big British
dependency.
She Gandhi's Guardian
She prepares his simple diet, wash
es the few garments that suffice
him, takes dictation for documents
and letters and accompanies him on
his travola through the slums of that
London where until half a dozen
years ago she went only from draw
ing room to drawing room.
When one of these affairs occu
pies her, she sits and gazes at Gandhi
or curls up at his feet for a nap.
He sometimes has to dismiss ber
when callers demand bis exclusive
attention or when his own medita
tions call for solitude.
She Is six feet tall. Freckles bridge
her prominent noee. A Hindu shawl
shields her head, close cropped In
token of her vow of celibacy. White
draperies hang to ample feet shod tn
broad sandals.
Until her conversion to Gandhi
lsra her life was that of any other
daughter of a prominent British
personage. Her father was the late
Admiral Sir John Warren Slade, who,
after retiring In 1917, became an of
ficial of one of the world's largest
oil companies.
Madeline divided her time among
London, Paris and Berne, taking part
In the social functions of ber set.
Then she changed suddenly, i
She says that she was convetred
In Paris overnight, writing the next
morning to offer her services to
Gandhi. His acceptance on proba
tionary terms began the struggle
against objections of her family but
to India she went.
Tears of living In a bare room,
sleeping on a rough floor, cooking
her food and spinning the cloth from i
which to fashion her clothes fortified
her In her new life.
When Gandhi marched to the sea;
In his civil disobedience campaign,!
he left the Ashram in her charge.
She administered It through an out-1
break of smallpa .
Her selection as one of his en
tourage when the Mahatma's "Inner
voice" decided him to go to London!
for the round-table conference fol
lowed naturally.

FOSSILIZED SHELL
AGES OLD FOUND
A fossil. In the form of a spiral
shell fish, unearthed In Jackson
ville last week Is the latest geo
logical specimen to be added' to
the vast collection in the county
museum, according to George Lit
tle, member of the Jacksonville
ah amber of commerce.
The fossil, he said, was found
embedded In sandstone, by work
men engaged In walling a well on
the Vivian Beach place several
days ago. It was Immediately taken
to the museum, classified, and
placed among the other antique
treasures.
Known as the turrrllltes, the
latest addition Is of much more
recent date than other geological
specimens, found locally, and now
holding places of dignity In the
museum. Among the most prized
pieces, Is the bony structure of a
broad faced cx, said by Profes
sor Condon of the University of
Oregon, to have been extinct for
the past IS million years.
Then there are mammoth molars,
vlelng In length and lineage, mam
moth Ivory tusks, found In Sterl
ing creek recently, and countless
other fragments and objects that
link the present up with head
swimming antiquity.
That the dances, sponsored by
the Jacksonville chsraber of com
merce, and held In that city every
Saturday night, for the maintenance
of the historic museum, will con
tinue throughout this fall and
winter, was a statement made by
Mr. Little, who among others, vol
unteers his ' services as guide and
Instructor among the antique curiosities.

DUE FOR CHANGE
Procedural law. Including both the
Jury and Judiciary systems, is des
tined to change materially within
the next 10 years. This is the opin
ion of Circuit Judge James T. Brand,
of M&rahfleld, who presided over the
local court during the past 10 days.
The Coos county Judge, who will
spend the first few days of this week
hearing cases in Grants Pass, ex
pressed a hope that the predicted
change would come through the
lawyers themselves, after careful
study of the subject, rather than
thru more, radical, outside elements.
"There are two Interesting situa
tions, running strangely parallel,
vfhtch will effect this procedural
change," he said. "One is a growing
wave of dissatisfaction with the pres
ent Jury system in this country. The
other is a sentiment of horror against
in any way increasing the duties and
authority of the court."
The Jurist said that there were two
types of lawyers who oppose any
change In the present system. One
Is the "shyster" lawyer, who capi
talizes upon the weakness in crim
inal law to his own aggrandizement.
The other, Is conservative, older and
truly skillful lawyers, who is master
ful with the weapons now at hand.
"However, in the more Ideal system
ttie skillful lawyer shouldn't win
but the one with the best case," he
said.
Judge Brand, who has been on the
bench about five years, being one
of the youngest Jurists In the state.
Is preparing a book entitled "The
Balance of Federal Power." The work,
covering several years of study and
research, will be a comprehensive
historical study of the legislative,
executive and Judicial systems In this
country.
Asked w,hy Mrs. Brand, who has a
number of local friends, had not ac
companied him on his trip to Med
ford, the Judge explained that his
wife had recently become a member
of the Marshfleld city council and
could not leave her official duties.
Mrs. Brand is the first woman In
Coos county to hold such an office.
ACCIDENTS EYED
BY
Inquisitorial Body Named
To Probe County Cases
Alleged Peeping Tom
Will Have Hearing.
The October term of the circuit
court started this morning, with Cir
cuit Judge K. D. Norton on the
bench, and the impanelling of a new
grand Jury, which opened its deliber
ations at once, under the direction
of District Attornev Georee A. Cod
ding. Nick Klme, pioneer resident of I
the Griffin creek district, was named
foreman. Four1 of the seven grand
jurors are from Ashland. The per
sonnel of the inquisitorial body is as
follows: Nick Klme, Griffin creek.
foreman, and Mrs. Neva B. Lowry,
Medford; I. J. Grubb, Ashland,; M.
M. Ticker, Ashland; T. E. MoGraw,
Medford. B. F. D. 9; E. O. Davis,
Ashland, and M. A. Carter, Ashland.
The court, In giving instructions
to the grand Jury, cautioned them
against "getting out of balance in
the hearing of neighborhood rows,
which may entail the calling of wit
nesses and expenses out of all pro
portion to their importance." The
court said, "You can assist In the
nation-wide demand for reduction In
governmental expenses, by not per
mitting Investigations to go to ex
tremes." The court, however, urged
that probes be thorough when re
quired. .
Would Curb Reckless
The grand Jury Is scheduled to In
vestigate auto fatalities on main
highways In this county the past
three months, resulting in the death
of C. B. Ward of Phoenix and John
Maxwell of Weed, Calif. The district
attorney a week ago declared, "It was
time to call a halt on recklessness on
the roads."
Evidence collected by the sheriff
and district attorney relative to
hunting tragedies, resulting in the
death of Ed Foster o Jacksonville,
and Lorls Martin of Trail, will be
called to the attention of the grand
Jury for whatever action they may
see fit.
Criminal matters scheduled to be
heard by the grand jury include that
of Henry Johnson of this city, held
on a "Peeping Tom" charge. John
son is a well known local character.
The Banford-Ewlng road dispute,
from the Ashland district,. Is also
scheduled for an airing.
The present session of the grand
Jury Is expected to last three days.
I
E
ON COMING YEAR
The second meeting of the budget
committee of which B. B. Harder Is
chairman, held its second meeting
this afternoon, and continued the
preliminary perusal of the estimates
as submitted by the various county
departments. All county offices have
submitted estimates showing ex
penses less than last year.
Estimates show that the cost of
school grade and high school will
be Increased over last year, due to an
Increase In school population and
other items. Heavy slashes in school
operations, are safeguarded by state
law.
Another item, amounting to $16,
000 for care of unfortunates in state
institutions, confronts the budget
committee. This sum has heretofore
been borne by the state, but was
switched by the "economy program"
to the counties. It Is expected that
several counties of the state will con
test the legality of the move.
It is not expected that the budget
will be ready for final approval be
fore the middle of January.
The law sets the data for a public
hearing on the budget for t&e first
.Wednesday in December.
