.'irifuFURD IfAli; TRIBUNE, MEDFUKU, OREGON. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1935. PUT ' BATTLE A "badger-dog fight" waa ataged by reaerve officers of this area laat night at Capt. Vera B. Marshall', box ahop on Stewart avenue. None of the offl cera today, however, would admit the "fight" had been held. Offlcera tried atrenuoualy to keep newa of the "badger" fray a deep aecret among themselves but word leaked out somehow yesterday and a complaint waa registered with the atate police against not only the "fight" but the gambling that waa to accompany It. State troopera went out last night to Investigate but when they were informed It was simply an old army custom they withdrew, thoroughly satisfied without knowing what was going on behind closed doors. Your correspondent, being tipped off and ever eager to record the newa, disguised himself as a colonel of the army tank corps" to get a ring-aide seat so that he might give a blte-by-blte account of the proceedings but a flock of sentries saw through the make-up and chased him off at tho point ol bayonets. ' It was learned today, however, that when all the wageTa were put In a 10-gallon hat, an enterprising officer confiscated the money and used It In defraying the expenses of the eve ning. What was left over was put In the treasury of the local reserve unit, protests being quieted by a threat to expose the whole orgy. While your correspondent was run off the premises without seeing either the "badger" or the "dog" he did succeed in picking up paper that proved to contain the names of the "fight" officials. It believed that ope of the offlcera acci dentally dropped the typewritten sheet of paper. It disclosed the offl clals to be: Major George R. Owens, referee. Malor C. S. Pettee of Eugene, execu tive; Capt. B. W. Oruhn ahd Capt. Stephen Nye. Judges: Capt. Marion C. Wright, weigher: Capt 0. L. P erce, handlcapper: Capt. Lyl. Wlcac. timer: Lieut. Harold Wooda and Lieut. T. P. Coatee, bookmakers. Lieut. Fred W. Greene, provoat mar shal, and Capt. Carl Y. ngwald, assistant; Capt. Albert T, Anderson, SSog handled and Capt. William C. Ryan, "badger It was learned on bwu -- today that Lieut. William B. C legg had been named as "dog handler and Lieut. Harry May, Jr., as badger handler" but they got Into some kind of Jam and were disqualified. It was also learned on fairly reli able authority that the event was successful that It la to be made an annual diversion here. It waa further ascertained with some degree of re liability that seveal "badger-dog fights" have been held by reserve of ficers in other parts of the state and that thus far they have got away with it. . .

LOUIfl. (UP) An organization known as the "Blood Donors' Benevo lent Society of St. Louis" was estab lished here & few yeara ago nd to day claims a membership of 70. W. R. Goodman conceived the idea, and now at any hour of tho day or night, men or women of this volun tary bend will rush to a hospital to aid some patient. Goodman tells this story of the group's founding: "I used to take my Sunday school class to the City hospital to visit patient who might be lonely. Soon the doctors got to know us, and once or twice asked us If we would give blood for some patient who couldn't afford to pay for a tranflfaston. "So I thought It would take lees running around if I got a list ready of people who would give their blood free. I talked to one of the doctors and he said he didn't think I could do It, but If I could get the people he'd be glad to test them, and class ify their blood." Goodman enlisted 35 friends. A to tal of 109 transfusions have been made by members, and in AO percent of the cases the patient has left the hospital well. Fred Boleom In Mrs. Plleder't room, Mrs. Paulos tastified: "Hall took Mr. Bolcom into the bedroom by the arm and led him. He had a gun In his hand. "He left the door part open. I saw him raise hla hand m though to strike something. There wasn't any outcry. Then I heard a thud." LDI TURKEY GROWERS PERIL OWN PROFI T WEEK'S PINE BUSINESS 55 PC.

BIRTHS The ruins of Qaleh 1 Gabr, or the castle of the fire worshippers, with Its underground chambers, stand on a high mound southeast of Kazerun, Persia. of ber as a state's witness, tried to inject the W. Frank Akin killing In Portland November 20. 1933. He asked her if she knew Jack Justice, held in Portland for the grand Jury as a suspect in assaulting Akin with a deadly weapon March 30, 1933. Afraid of Hall She answered ahe did and that she was afraid of him. She said. In response to a question, she feared Hall, also. Her answer that she was afraid of both men because of her knowledge of the Akin killing brought a sharp objection from Butts which Superior Judge H. O. Sutton sustained. He ordered her testimony referring to the Akin case stricken from the record. Butts raised the Issue again during his cross-examination wltti: "By the way. when was Akin killed In Portland I" "November, 1833," she answered first and then corrected the year to 1933. "Who told you that?" Butts de manded. "Leo did," Mrs. Paulos answered readily. Butts dropped this Una of ques tioning. Tells of Murders In the role of accuser and accused she took the witness stand last night and told the jury that Leo Hall, 33, her co-defendant on first degree murder charges, killed six persons In the Frank Flieavr home, near Brem erton, on the night of March 28, 1934 For two houra she testified for the state, relating her story of the sex tuple slaylngs, a story on which the state relies in its attempt to send Hall to the gallows. The state la demanding the death penalty for Hall, former Seattle ath lete, but not for Mrs. paulos. Spectators were tense as the slen der, brown-eyed witness told her story, bit by bit. at the insistence of special prosecutor, Ray R. Greenwood. She was composed as she was sworn In but after testifying for a few minutes she became nervous, started sobbing. Mrs. Paulos said she accompanied Hall from Seattle to the Flleder home and that Hall killed Mr. and Mrs. Flleder and four of their guesta dur ing a robbery. Couldn't Keep Secret Asked why she confessed mora than a year after the ghastly crime, the witness said: "I couldn't keep it any longer. He'd (Hall) threatened me and I knew he'd kill me if X didn't do some thing." She said she left Seattle in the summer of 1934 after the slaying be cause Hall warned her to leave and told her "he'd kill me if I talked." "Did Hall evey discuss with you the chances of getting caught?" Greenwood Inquired. "Yes," the witness answered, "but he said he didn't think there was much danger that he thought he had wiped off every clue." Questioned about her flight from the Flleder home, Mrs. Paulos be came befuddled. First she said she opened a sun room door. Then ahe said, "I know I got the kitchen door open. He shot at me as I was leav ing." She said ahe didn't know how many shots were fired at her. Tried To Escape She testified she tried to escape from Hall aftr ahe left Seattle with him on the afternoon of March 38. "Who went into the house first," Greenwood asked. "We were both practically together. I refused to enter and he grabbed me by the arm and shoved me ahead." Asked to describe the death of PERL NAMED HEAD Funeral directors of Jackson.
