MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, IEDFOKD. OREGON. THURSDAY. .TULY 25. 1935.
GRANTS PASS. July 25. (Spl.)
A "body" that took Coroner Virgil E.
Hull and his assistant. M. B. Crane,
on an 84-mile wild goose chase to
Oak Flat Tuesday and that kept wo
men at the home-makers' vacation
camp out of their swimming pool
most of the day was on a slab at
Hull's mortuary here Wednesday.
The "body", sighted lying tn the
Illinois river across from the vacation
camp about noon Tuesday by women
at the camp, was ft dummy placed
there obviously ha a practical Joke
to thrill or scare the women.
It went even further than that.
Members of the camping party rush
ed at once to a ranger station ten
miles away and word was phoned to
the sheriff's office. The coroner was
notified and he left for the camp
about 1:30 p. m. Tuesday.
Arriving at the camp. Hull found
that Dr. J. L. Helms had a-lreedy
crossed the river and brought the
"body" over. Many of the women still
believed it to be a man. however, and
would not go near it. Hull said.
The dummy had a wooden block for
a head with a nose nailed on. The
body was made of straw stuffed in
side a shirt with poles for legs.
Clothes were wired and nailed onto
the dummy.
With the nose, one arm and both
shoes showing above the water In
the brush where it had been fastened
by the Joker, the dummy looked like
a man's body from the camp site.
All "Identification" was missing.
There were no papers, and the mak
er's labels had been cut from the
clothing.
"Strong men grew faint" when the
"body" was described to them. A nail
had been driven through the "nose"
(to hold it in place). Nails were flso
driven into the feet (to hold the
choes on). The "maniac" had shot h;s
victim several times in the "face"
wi.h a .22 calibre rtfle (target prac
tice, evidently, at the block of wood
from which the head was formed. The
"chin" had been chopped away with
a hatchet or ax.
Although roughly shaped and dress
ed, the posture of the dummy ws
such that It could easily be mistaken
In the water. Wires and sticks were
used in a few Joints ao the "body"
moved naturally In the waves.
No estimate as to the cost of the
county for the coroner's trip could
be obtained.

Science confirms theory that Calvert
Whiskey is not heating
"Allows a rapid lowering of body)
temperature, " says professional
opinion
HOTnewsl Good news! CALVERTcooIsyouoff!
Science proves it . . . proves that smoother,
mellower CALVERT drives the heat from the in
terior of your body ... rolls it out to the surface
of your skin. There the heat radiates, dissipates,
evaporates . . . refrigerating and cooling you off.
And backing science arc the liquor statistics of
tropical countries. Below the Equator, whiskey
outsells all other spirituous liquors 3 to 1. Ia
Chile, 30 to 1. In Colombia, 23 to 1. In Ecuador,
7tol.
So, use good judgment and cool off with
CALVERT'S better blended whiskey ... the whis
key clear heads call for . . . the whiskey that,
enjdyed in gentlemanly moderation, lets you
salute tomorrow with a smile.
