MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON
Beall Relatives
Ask Part of
Be Declared Void
The four nephews and niece
of the late Robert Vinton
Beall. 1253 Beall lane, Central
Point, have filed a complaint
in Jackson county circuit
court to have part of Beall's
will declared void.
According to the will, filed
for probate here shortly after
Beall's death Oct. 7, 1961, the
bulk of the estate was left to
the board of regents of the
University of Oregon for the
erection of a memorial dedi
cated to the pioneer Oregon
women.
, The will states that the
term "pioneer" means those
women who settled in Oregon
prior to 1860. The gift would
be in memory of his mother,
Marian Riddle Beall, who set
tled with her husband on a
Homestead Donation land
claim on Beall lane in 1852.
Robert Beall was a retired
photographer and rancher.
Valued at $150,000
The Beall estate last year
was valued at approximately
5150,000 which the university
would receive.
In the complaint filed by
Frederick, Herbert, Robert
and Virgil Strang, and Helen
Strang Holmes, they charge
that since 1929 there has not
been a board of regents for
the university by a state
board of higher education.
The complaint, filed against
the U.S. National Bank of
Portland, executor for the es
tate, charges that the state
board of higher education
claims an interest in the es
tate while the five nephews
and niece are the only sur
vivor decedants and should be
the sole and only heirs.
In December, Dr. Arthur
Flemming, president of the
university, said that the mon
ey would be turned over to
the university's development
fund. He thought that the
terms of the will could be
fulfilled with the construction
of a multi-purpose building
which would not only help
solve the- university's space
problem, but would serve as
a useful memorial to Oregon's
pioneer women.

Ha Has Black, Leather
Jacket and He Pinches
He wears a shiny, black,
leathery jacket and a sardonic
grin on his face. He possesses
a pugnacious disposition and
in various other ways could
be considered a juvenile or
an adult delinquent.
He has many of the other
necessary qualifications, too.
The only requisite he lacks is
a motorcycle. When this char
actor wants to go somewhere,
he flies.
Like a true delinquent he
carries on his activities at
night. He belongs to a gang,
and the members are many.
He is the pcople-pincher,.
The farm boy knew him
well, and used to frighten
small girls with him. This
character, cither dark brown
or black is commonly known
as the "pinching bug;" usual
ly abbreviated to just plain
"pinch bug."
This beetle, one of the stag
beetle family, acquired his
reputation because of his fer
ocious appearance. The male
is the one that does the pinch
ing, for it is he who is equip
ped with long, sharp and
toothed mandibles, usually
called horns.
In actual practice the long
mandibles appear to serve
mainly as fighting tools as a
couple of male pinching bugs
derive a great deal of pleasure
in fighting one another.
Vicious Deierminalion
Although they attack with
a vicious determination in a
contest that may go on for an
hour or more, neither ever
seems to be injured. When
they run out of steam, their
anger seems to cool, and each
gives up the battle and with
out a backward glance goes
his separate way.
The female, devoid of horns
Emergency Board
Approves Funds To
Fight- Grasshoppers
Salem - JPI - The State
Emergency Board has author
ized up to $40,000 for grass
hopper control this spring in
Grant and Harney counties,
providing matching amounts
can be raised locally.
The approval came after
considerable testimony about
the worst grasshopper threat
in years, with more than 300
million grasshopper eggs near
ing the hatching stage.
Board Impressed
Robert Emery of Corvallis,
an entomologist from Oregon
State university, Impressed
the board by dumping several
pounds of infested Harney
county sod on the board con
ference table.
On motion of State Rep.
Clarence Barton (D-Coquille)
the board earmarked up to
$25,000 for Grant county and
up to $15,000 for Harnoy.
the infestation Is not con
sidered as heavy in those
areas.
The board deferred action
again on Ally. Gen. Robert Y.
Thornton's request for $10,495
to hire a second full time at
torney in the Oregon Justice
department's Portland office.
State Rop. Leon Davis (R
Hillsboro) asked for a check
to see if any state agencies in
Portland thai operate with
dedicated funds can help pay
the tab, and his motion was
approved. A report is to be
made at the board's next meeting.
nd with no pinching ten
dencies, is somewhat smaller
than her mate. She deposits
her large, white eggs in a
crack in a tree trunk. The
white grub that hatches bores
still deeper into the wood.
Because the larvae of the
pinching bug prefers to live
and burrow in decayed wood,
they do little or no harm. The
larva's worst enemy, aside
from the black bear, skunk,
and some woodpeckers, is
probably the small boy or the
adult who uses the white grub
with which to bait a fishook,
May Take Six Years
Some species of the stag
beetle, and there are many in
all, may take as long as six
years from the time they are
hatched until they are fully
developed.
Full grown, either the black
or the brown pinching bug
may be all of two inches long.
with inch-long mandibles. A
three-inch bug is quite a bug.
He flies readily and in flight
produces a loud, buzzing
sound. Some folks say the
buzz sounds angry.
One of the little-known
characteristics of the stag
beetle is the high-pitched
squeak it emits when frustra
ted or handled.
Quite a character, this
leathery-coated "people pinch-er."
