Identification was positive.
Clothing Identified.
The clothing & brown cap, blue
coat, grey trousers, black shoes, woolen
shirt and other articles was Identi

fication was a large bump on the dead
man's ankle, which was caused, ac
cording to his brother, by a bullet
wound many years ago which shat
tered the ankle, causing the perma
nent bump to form.
A coroner's inquest was held in the
city hall Monday afternoon, with
Coroner Perl presiding, to officially
establish the Identity of the body of
that of Lennls Stephens.
Lester Stephens, a brother, George
and Frank Kerby, who had known
him for 40 years, A. E. Hall, a brother-in-law.
Everett Beeson and Earl Ed-
mundson testified at the Inquest that
the man was Lennls Stephens.

his mother, Mrs. Isaac Stephens of
Talent, three sisters, Mrs. Hazel Wil

This forms one of the most unusual
cases In the history of Ashland. The

near the Klamath Junction Saturday
by H. R. Farmer, of the Bellvlew
district, and Ashland and state police
officials were summoned to the scene.
The body was brought to Ashland by
Deputy Coroner Wm. Dodge.
Identification Difficult.
An effort was made to Identify the
body, but because of advanced de
composition this appeared Impossible.
However. It was decided by the state
police and Coroner Perl and Deputy
Coroner Dodge that the body should
be burled, even though It might have
to be later disinterred for Identifica
tion. This was done in Mt. View

coroner's Jury, composed of Harry
Moore. Harry Ingllng. Cash Walkter.
A. H. Pracht, Gordon McCracken, Er
nest Purvis. 'as well as other citizens
viewed the body before burial was
made.
It was thought possible that the
body might be that of the missing
Talent shoemaker, although some
evidence disputed that Identification.

TOLD AT MEETING
Price trends are going up. Indicat
ing a definite Increase In wages In
the east, which will undoubtedly be
reflected In this section before fall,
Is the new brought back to Medford
by w. S. Bolger, manager of the J.
Penney company store, who spent last
week attending the convention of
J. C. Penney company, representa
tives of the northwest, held In Port
land. A number of eastern executives were
present, and the meeting was the
most optimistic In many years, Mr.
Bolger stated. Fall merchandise was
shown and prices listed were defi
nitely and decidedly higher,
"People will either have to pay
more for blankets next fall, or
shiver." Mr. Bolger summarized the
situation. The Increase in business
listed for the 48 states of the union
by the J. C. Penney company, he de
scribed as one which would have been
abnormal In any other times. Prices
for next fall, he said, appear equally
so to the westerner at present, but
Indicate an Increase In work and
wages In the east, which will un
doubtedly be reflected In the west
later.
The month of March, last, Mr.
Bolger stated, was the "biggest one
in the history of the company." The
Increase of business was experienced
In the 1480 stores, located In the 46
states of the nation.
The element of doubt surrounding
the 30-hour week, he stated, Is
causing considerable concern, and
all representatives are anxiously
awaiting a definite solution of the
working week problem.
The greatest cotton and the greatest
white summer In history were also
forecast yesterday by Mr. Bolger, who
stated that prices on cotton, as well
as wool, are also showing upward
trends. People are also showing a
definite Inclination to buy better
merchandise. Quality merchandise Is
moving again wlt promising rapidity,
which all goes to show, the local mer
chant declared. that people prefer to
buy the better product, and will do
so as long as they can obtain the
money.
