Medford, Ore., June 11. Starting
from the Ashland Southern Pacific
freight yards last night when its
weight was too much for tho brakes,
and the switchman who was riding it
while making a "flying switch," a
gondola car, loaded with tie platos,
made the .12 miles between Ashland
and Medford in exactly 12 minutes,
and a" ;igiiio,whieli etarted in pursuit
of the runaway made the distance in 15
minutes, with tho help of the grade
botwecn the two cities, which drops 500
feet in 12 miles.
The runaway, in its wild dash passed
through Medford at 9:40, a freight
train which was in tho yard barely get
ting in tho "clear" in timo to avoid a
smashup. Siwtchman Oowler bravely
stuck to his car, shouting his instruc

waving his lantern as a wnrning.
The car stuck to the rnils through
many sharp curves in its 26-mile dash,
and came to a stop at Gold Hill.
PLEA FOE WOODLIFT AT
COURT HOUSE IS MADE
While the county court is figuring
on purchasing machinery which will
expedite road work and relieve several
people' of arduous labor, it is suggest
ed by many that a wood lift bo in
stalled in the county court house. At
present the janitor is comjvelled to enr
ry wood from the ground floor to the
third story of the building, and, inas
much as fir wood is generally heavy,
; the man who is under the load is up
against it for breath' by the time he
climbs two flights of exceptionally
long stairs -and deposits the precious
sticks in the dilapidated wood boxes in
the various offices. Of course, the day
janitor has nothing to do. He only
mows the small (f) lawn, trims the
rose bushes and the trees; responds to
the beck and call of anyone who needs
him, and is supposed to be in reach of
every county official who wants an
errand done. The wood-carrying stunt
Is looked upon by recent grand jurors
as an imposition on the janitor, and it
has been recommended that a lift be
installed.

Charleston, W. V., June 11. The
senatorial probe into the strike situa
tion developed some interesting facts
today. The records showed the first
court-martial acquitted Private Long,
accused of murdering a miner, but con
victed a miner for carrying concealed
weapons, imposing a sentence of one
year in prison and a fine of $1000. The
records showed that every single of
fense was ono over which the civil
courts had jurisdiction.
Judge Advocate Elliott said condi
tions in the strike zono were now quiot.
He admitted that all arrosts by tho
militia wero on the order of the pro
vost marshal, and without warrant or
authority, except that conferred by the
military code.
Elliott also said that the militia was
still rounding up high-powered rifles,
and repeatedly insisted that martini
law was necessary, as the civil authori
ties were unable to cope with tho situ
ation, l iS
It was believed certain that drastic
legislation will result from the inquiry.
