He found them in an. old house in Litchfield, Connecticut, where he lived before moving to Klam th Falls in 1944. Horseradish . Picnic Held MALIN The Horseradish Grow er's Association held a picnic at the Maliii Park Monday evening. August 1, with Loyal Saunders and Hugh Rick and their families of Maiin attending. A horseradish grower from St. Louis. Missouri, Ernest Schwartz, flew in for the occasion. This was Schwartz first plane ride, and his lirst trip to the West Coast. He came to inspect the western crops, as many growers in this region have purchased roots from him. The day iollowmg the picnic, Saunders took Schwartz on a trip to Crater Lake. Tncre were 17 members of the association at the picnic, all from the Lower Klamath Basin. Aged Newspapers Collected By Klamath Fire Marshal Modern medical practitioners may have a pill for any occasion, but you can bet 10 scapels to one that they have nothing to math DrjPhelps" Tomato Rills. t id these were on the market back in 1843. They cured anything from an in flamed liver to rheumatism, and ' Usually raised the dickens with ul cers and dropsy to boot. If you find this hard to digest, then note the testimony of Mr. Andrew Vredenburg of Rome, New York. It seems that Mr. Vreden burg was afflicted with a painful tumor on his breast. It was pro nounced cancerous and incurable. Dr. Phelps" Tomato pills did the trick. And it took only a dozen boxes to do it. . This bit of medical information was found In the October 19, 1843, edition of the Litchfield, Connecti cut. Enquirer. It is one of a col lection of aged papers owned by Bill Ackerman, Klamath Tails fire marshal. Ackerman found the papers In an old house which was being razed in that city, his hometown before moving West in 1944. Included in the find was a re print copy of the New York Her ald of April 16, 1865. which car ries the story of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. .. The one - column headline at the top of the pifffer begins in some what disarming fashion. It says, ''Important.' The death of the great emanci pator is described in lucid terms in the official dispatches sent by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stan ton. An early bulletin describes the President as "insensible and sink ing." Later word carries the message: "Abraham Lincoln died this morn ing at twenty-two minutes past 7 o'clock." This is how the historic event was carried in the New York Her ald then edited by James Gordon Bennett, one of the first editors to achieve large circulation with a daily newspaper. The paper has since been com bined with the New York Tribune, and Is considered one of the more outstanding dailies In the country. Ackerman's collection also In cludes a facsimile of the first issue of the Maryland Journal, which hit the presses on August 20. 1773. The editor proudly announces at the top of the page that his paper contains "the freshest advices, both foreign and domestic." ' He then proceeds to explain In many words why the paper was ''so long in making an appear ance." On the second pane is a rather unusual Item. It tells of a large rattlesnake killed on a gentleman's plantation. The snake had 10 rat tles and was supposed to be about 13 years old. But that isn't all. It seems that in its "belly" was found "three middle - sized rab bits." Chivalry undoubtedly was still In full bloom back in those days. At least this is the impression given in a front-page article contained in the January 24, 1856, edition of the Litchtield Enquirer. This is entitled, "Men vs. Wom en." The writer relates how utter ly polite are men in comparison to the ill . mannered fair sex. He proves his contention by telling oi an incident on an omnibus, a pub lic carriage and ancestor to the streetcar. On this occasion the males were stumbling all over themselves In their haste to give the demure damsels their seats. But did the ladies so accommo date their own sex? Heavens no His conclusion: "If among other 'Woman's Rights,' which some ladies are now striving to obtain, they will in graft the right to be always cour teous and polite to each other, we men will take care of ourselves, too God bless 'em. With all their faults, we love them still." Nobly spoken.. The gfeatest refrigerator - freezer V1.; bargain Msswtiim, Attywhet', Klamath Falls 2 MATINEES 2 NIGHTS FRI. and SAT.

' W) Two little sisters were drowned Friday- night as the car their father was driving plunged into the Kentucky River. Their parents. Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward Paul of Lexington, and Mr. and Mrs. George Hisle, former Ohi- oans now living in Lexington, swam to safety, Mrs. Paul with her 3- month-old daughter. Carol Ann. The Richmond State Police office report quoted Paul as saying he was traveling downgrade on an un familiar road and applied his. brakes but they did not hold. The report said weeds almost blocked a roadside sign reading "ferry ahead." The swift current in the 14-feet of water swept the infant from Mrs. Paul's arms, but Sterling Townsend, a resident of the Jack son's ferry area near here, plunged in and rescued the cnud. Townsend said he might have saved Helen Louise Paul 5, and her sister. Donna Marie, 7, had not the doors on the car been locked. Cominq to Klamath Falls Dollar Days THURS. - FRI. - SAT.
