Kel ly, Medford loses a distinguished cit izen, the state colorful and pictur esque character and the nation a patriot who had proven liu valor on many a battlefield. He was a volun teer In the Spanish -American war and Philippine war, serving In the signal corps, and received a sword from congress for repairing, under fire, the cable cut by Spaniards when Dowey reached Manila. Across his back was a livid scar from a Fili pino's bolo, received In battle. At the outbreak of the World war he volunteered and was appointed by General Pershing, under whom oe served. In the Philippines, as chief signal officer for the advanced tec tlon of the AJS.F. at Chaumont and afterwards promoted to lieutenant colonel of the 92nd division. He par ticipated In the St. Mlhlel and Ar gonne drivel, being at Sedan when the armistice was signed. He was cit ed by Pershing for gallantry and for having kept his division's communi cations Intact throughout the ad vance. Colonel Kelly had a powerful phys ique, standing 0 foot 8 Inches, weigh ing 300 pounds. Before age took its toll his strength was phenomenal and he excelled In athletic sport. His moral courage was greater even than his physical, and he never hes itated to enlist for any cause he thought right In civic life. He led the community battle agalnt the Ku Klux Klan turmoil in the early ?0 and that against Banks' "good gov ernment league" turbulance In the 30's. Colonel Kelly was born on an Iowa farm, became a telegraph operator, then a reporter on a Chicago news paper, then editor and publisher of a weekly newspaper at Bl nek foot. Idaho, where he also practiced law. He came to Medford In 1007 and opened a law office, his first case be ing a successful fight for the free dom of the press waged by George Putnam as editor of the Medford Chicago Wheat CHICAGO, Aug. 18.

MUHHI. Atrut. I'hone 14 TRTBTJNE, MEDFOTiD, Tribune. Colonel Kelly was a loyal friend, a fine companion and en Indulgent father. He lived a full life and will long be mourned by a legion of friends. His final words may well have been those of Bt. Paul: "I have fought a good fight, I have Unshed my course, I have kept the faith." Let us hope there is laid up for him ' a crown of righteousness." Major General George A. White pays the following tribute to Colonel Kelly: Colsnel Ed. E. Kelly won his mili tary title In war service. Between wars he kept his uniforms In moth balls. I mention his military service because to me he typifies the Amer ican volunteer whose military service is incidental to a lifetime devoted to a civil profession and to service for his country and state. When the Spanish -American war broke out, he dropped his law stud ies as a young man and volunteered in the signal corps. His character and ability won him promotion to commissioned grade. After long months of service in the Philippines he resigned his commission, when peace was declared, and returned home to practice law. When the World war came many years later he promptly farmed out his law offices and offered his serv ices. He was sent to Prance as an of ficer and won rapid promotion to the grade of colonel. For his services In the Argonne he was decorated by trs government. With the armistice he returned to his law offices at Med ford. Colonel Kelly had those fine per sonal qualities that men look for In a friend. His Interest centered In others rather than In himself. Thero was no honorable length he wouldn't go to help a friend or to serve his community, state and country. Among nis irienas, the fact that htf lived a full ripe lifetime will do little to les sen the sense of a vast loss In hit death.
