Mail Tribune 100, April 26, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 26, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 26, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News April 26, 1915 FORGER THOMASEN AGAIN IN THE TOILS Richard Thomasen, conditionally paroled last January from the state penitentiary from a three to fifteen years' sentence from this county for forgery, was arrested Saturday night by the police on a charge of passing worthless checks on Central Point merchants. A parole officer from the state prison at Salem will arrive today to take Thomasen back. It will mean the serving of an indeterminate sentence. The prisoner has relatives living in this section. ROGUE RIVER BANK MYSTERY UNSOLVED The robbery of the State bank of Rogue River at Rogue River last Thursday afternoon is still a mystery, and no nearer solution. The bandit or bandits, as far as the county and city authorities are concerned, have made good their escape. It now develops that Cashier Rosser was struck a heavy blow over the head, apparently from behind, which strengthens the theory that two men were concerned in the crime. Rosser's hands were also tied behind him. The Pinkerton detective agency, representatives of the agency insuring the bank against loss, will take charge of the case. This means a world-wide hunt for the crooks, if necessary, to effect their capture. BIBLE READINGS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS At the regular meeting of the Medford Ministerial association Monday morning, April 26, it was ordered that a committee of two, consisting of the president, Harry E. Tucker, and the secretary, J.K. Hawkins, be appointed to present to the school board at the earliest convenient time the matter of Bible readings in the public schools. Several books now in use in other states, and in some of the largest cities, were examined and will be presented. The association will recommend especially the text book of "Scriptural Selections," authorized by Pennsylvania by the state legislature. J.K. Hawkins and Weston F. Shields were appointed to draw up a constitution and bylaws for the organization and management of a "Twilight Athletic league" for the Sunday schools of the city and vicinity. It is the purpose of this movement to have a baseball tournament during the summer months.
