Ktrlkea Oil at Medford.
Medford Excitement prevailed on
the streets last week when It became
known that oil had been struck two
and one-halt miles east of Medford.
Many persons made haste to pur
chase property in this district, but
found that others had secured op
tions find bought up everything In
the neighborhood.
C. H. Tierce i the owner of S00
acres where the oil discovery has
bceii made. About six weeks ago he
started to bore for what he then
stated was water, but which he now
states was In the hopes of getting
oil. At a depth of 305 feet, Mr.
Pierce let down a can attached to a
wire, and when he pulled It to the
surface found it full of oil.
The oil reaches to within 53 feet
of the top of the well. Several ex
perts are said to have made an ex
amination of this well and the oil
and are of the opinion that the well
will turn out to be a regular gusher.
Farmer Want Game Laws Clutnged.
Albany Linn county farmers
have started a movement for the
amendment of the state game laws
so that China pheasants may be
killed without regard to season by
farmers, fruitgrowers and gardeners,
who find the birds In growing crops.
The matter was broached at a meet
ing of the Linn county council of the
Grange, held Saturday afternoon at
the hall of Western Star Orange,
near this city. After considerable
dlacsuslon It was referred to the sub
ordinate granges of the' county for
consideration and will receive defi
nite action at the next meeting of the
council in November.
To prevent the game birds preying
upon growing crops of all kinds is
the purpose of the present move
ment. Farmers who were present
at the meeting want the game laws
amended so as to give the farmer
rather than the city or town hunter
the China pheasant. "We raise the
birds and ought to have the right to
do as we please with them," was the
gist of the sentiment expressed.
Must Answer to a Charge of Murder.
Eugene Harry Tabor, accused of
the murder of Harry Stucke at Dead
wood, this county, on Saturday, was
Monday bound over for trial In the
clcult court under $2000 ball, which
the defendant readily furnished.
In the examination before a Justice
of the peace, Mrs. Stucke was the
only witnessed examined. Tabor, the
defendant, did not take the stand.
Mrs. Stucke In her testimony stated
that she and her husband were pass
ing through Tabor's field on their
way to the postofflce when Tabor ac
costed them and ordered them to
leave the premises. On their way to
the gate Mrs. Stucke declares that
Tabor suddenly turned and shot her
husband. Tabor also threatened vio
lence to Mrs. Stucke, so she says,
After killing Stucke, Tabor, so Mrs.
Stucke says, searched the wounded
man, taking away his revolver.
Tabor must answer to the charge
of murder In the first degree at the
November term of the circuit court
