THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN was the big news back
in 1865 when this newspaper, the New York Herald, was
printed. It is owned by Bill Ackerman, Klamath Falls tire mar
shal. He has a number of old papers, one of which is a reprint
lot one published in 1773. He found them in an. old house in

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."

In Auto Crash
WINCHESTER. Ky. ' 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.
