Those who attend will avail themselves of a real entertainment bargain as a double show will be featured and a full length picture will be shown In addition to the stage play and also a short subject. The play Is under direction of George Olsen, who has had 14 years' pro fessional experience on the stage. About Coroner's Office Special stress is being laid upon the fact that I have held the office of coroner for two terms. I would therefore ask each voter to pause and consider what firm held this office for four consecutive terms before I took over its duties. Then if my services have been satisfactory, I shall appreciate your hearty support. H. W. CONGER E E Editorial resentment and public condemnation of the "special deputy'' canard hurled by Thomas Breechen of Ashland, against Sheriff Ralph G. Jennings, has followed in its wake. Breechen, a resident of ABh land for 18 months, charged that "48 special deputies were on the county payrolls." The charge was echoed In this city. Breechen de manded that District Attorney George A. Codding Issue & warrant for Sheriff Jennings' arrest on a charge of profanity. The district attorney ruled it was an Ashland matter, to be tried before the Ashland police court, and not a matter for heavy county expense. The Ashland Tidings yesterday commented as follows: "Accusations have been made against Sheriff Jennings that these deputies are 'on the payroll.' ThiB is entirely an Inaccurate statement the 18 special deputies in Ashland volunteered to do this work from a standpoint of good citizenship, for the good of the community and without pay. Incidentally, the ma jority of the special Ashland depu ties are Republicans, therefore can do Sheriff Jennings no good with their votes in the primaries. We mention these facts out of fairness to Sheriff Jennings and to the men who serve." Citing the slaying of two Ashland police officers in a year, the article continues. "We ci te these instances merely to show the motivating incidents which lead to the organization of the special deputy group which has become the target of anti-Jennings propaganda. It was really In re sponse to a public demand for greater organized police protection for this section of the state that Sheriff Jennings called together a group of Ashland men, skilled in the use of firearms, skilled in woodcraft men who would be actu ally valuable in event of crime men who could serve as possemen without hazarding the lives of others due to their inexperience and unor ganized service. At a moment's notice these men stand ready to serve Sheriff Jennings believes in crime prevention so far as possible, and there Is no greater crime pre ventative than an organized law enforcement, and one which can cope with criminals." Suit was filed In circuit court late yesterday by Jennie Barr of the Ap plegate, seeking a restraining order against Floyd, Rose and Bert Rippey and C. W. Palm, to prevent them from the construction of a line fence. Mrs. Barr alleges in her complaint that the present fence has surrounded her holdings for 40 years or more, and the defendants are now building another fence which changes the line, which tears up the alfalfa field and damages the land. and will play an Important part in the play, as well as Mrs. Olsen, who has had eight years' professional ex perience.
