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.

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.

(By Juik Rctlaw.)
She was constantly sought after by
the men. They Importuned her
doRged her footsteps pleaded beg
ged cajoled her yet she did not
know what real love was.
One man was so Infatuated by
her that, because of her, he lost his
entire fortune. Another became a
murderer. Still another deserted his
sweetheart for her, and the fourth
risked everything he had for her.
Ellssa Landi, known far and wide
on the motion picture screen as the
"Empress of Emotion," enacts the
role of this extraordinary woman.
Supporting her in her newest film
success. "The Devil's Lottery." are
Ralph Morgan, Barbara Weeks, Alex
ander Kirklnnd, Paul Cavanaugh and
others of note.
"The Devil's Lottery," which Is
showing today and tomorrow at the
Fox Craterian theater. Is a vivid, dy
namic story. The exotic woman por
trayed by beautiful Elissa Landi, han
dled men as she would handle dice
and thovight no more of them than
she would the dotted Ivory cubes.
It la a typical story for Landi. A
gorgeous creature, vital, alive, impreg
nated with magnetic charm, she is
veritable vortex of an increasingly
widening human whirlpool.
On this program as well, Is an ox-
oeedlngly clever added attraction-
Peril Lurked Always Near This Woman!
