Mail Tribune 100, April 11, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 11, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 11, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News April 11, 1915 First Arrest for Speeding Upon Pacific Highway A warrant was issued out of Justice Taylor's court this morning for the arrest of Verl G. Barnthouse for speeding on the Pacific Highway. District Attorney Kelly declares that a speed cop with an automobile will be placed on the highway to trap violators and that motorists and motorcyclists who are seeking new records on the highway had better heel themselves with the wherewithal for a healthy fine before starting in.   Mose Invents New Fish Bait Mose Barkdull, champion bait fisherman of Medford, has invented a bait by which he expects to break all records this year in Bear Creek. Mose has a new breed of fishing worms, and he's ready. Last fall Mose filled a big box with rich dirt and caught half a bushel or so of fat worms. Then he took about four dozen old rubber overshoes and two old automobile tires from Old Doc Yak, and ground them up fine in the hay cutter and mixed them with the dirt in the box. Now the worms have eaten all the rubber, and some of them will stretch eight inches and snap like a rubber band. Mose don't reckon the suckers can pull them off the hooks at all. If a fish does manage to pull the worm off the hook, it will snap so hard and hit the fish on the nose and stun it, so Mose can catch it with his hands.   Joseph Voyle, Aged Mystic, Formerly of Jacksonville, Dead Joseph Voyle, aged mystic and philosopher, died this week at Berkeley, Calif. He was well-known in the Rogue River valley, having lived for several years at Jacksonville with his wife and two sons, following the occupation of miner and assayer. Voyle was close to 80 years of age. He was educated in eastern universities, taught school for a time, at last devoted his attention to esoteric and physical investigation. These he continued during years when he was engaged in mining, and when he amassed a considerable fortune to devote to his scientific purposes. Litigation ultimately lost him practically all his possessions, and what remained was completely dissipated in the San Francisco fire of 1906.
