Bowman, of that city, claims to think he may never be prose cuted upon a qharge of embeszlement as contended by those responsible for his arrest. According to McDonald, who was ar raigned In the Justice court yesterday, he Is not guilty of the alleged elope ment with Mrs. Jesse Clements, of Glendale, but on the contrary he says that Mrs. Clements simply sought the Southern clime In hope of benefiting her health.. McDonald says that they traveled separately and that he did not know that she was in San - Francisco until several days after .his arrival. "The charge at present confronting me." said McDonald today, "was con cocted and carried Into effect by Jesse Clements, not because he thought I was guilty of the crime charged in this complaint, but for the reason that he had been told that I was paying atten tion to his wife. I am not worrying over the outcome of the case." Owing to the fact that the District Attorney was unable to assemble his witnesses- before the first of next week the preliminary hearing was continued until Monday afternoon. Advices received here today from San Francisco are to the effect that Mr. Clements -has forgiven his wife, and that the two are living happily at San Francisco. They will return to Glendale within a week or ten days. well-bWds oil EFFOItT TO INCREASE WATER Sl'PPLV MEETS OBSTACLE.

After penetrating alternate rocs, shale and blue clay for mations trie drill again pierced a light colored shale, and for the last two days the sand pump has been bringing up small quantities of dark colored pe troleum, which shows plainly on the surface of the creek for a considerable distance below the dump. The well Is on Baker Creek at a point where the city plpellne leading from Cowles Yeek basin to the city reser voir crosses, and Is being constructed with a view to supplementing the city water supply during the dry season.

PRICE CASE IS ISSUE Entry of Trjal Not Actually Held Is Crime Alleged by Grand Jury. Man on Whom Case Hinges Is Hiding in . Sawmill. KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. Aug. . (Special.) The grand Jury has re turned an indictment against Justice of Peace. A. D. Miller, charging him with falsifying a public record. He Is now under 12.500 bonds.

Price, a tele phone promoter who was wanted In San Francisco by the police of that city, had a hearing In this- city on the charge of conducting a lottery while the trial was not actually held at the time and place specified. Price was subsequently turned aver to the San Francisco police -while the charge was still pending against him here. No date has been set for the trial.

He has been there for the greater part of -the last six weeks, or since his sensational escape from the detective who was taking him to San Francisco to answer to a charge of having passed fictitious checks. Price has held himself as a wronged man and Is asking damages' for his retention and arrest. Why he does not come out in the open. Instead of keep ing In hiding and coming to Klamath Falls in disguise, when he does come. Is something which is rather Inexpli cable. . .. The grand Jury has been conducting the price investigation for several days. NEWPORT TO BAKE CLAMS Thousands Expected to Partake of Feast on Beach. NEWPORT. Or.. Aug. . (Special.)

It Is hoped by this new system to get Idaho apples to London, Berlin and Paris without a bruise. . SEEDLING PUM IS WOXDER W. w. iQulnn. of Canemah, Eihlbits Samples of Fruit. OREGON CITT. Or., Aug. .
