Killing at Bend
Tuesday Night
Sheriff Balfour, Deputy Lucas,
Attorney Wirtz and Coroner Hyde
returned from Bond last night
where they had been to investigate
the shootinji of Carrie Patterson.
Tuesday nitrht. They found the
woman dead, and her slayer, Carl
Lawson, a discarded paramour, shot
fa the face.
At the examination it was brought
out that the shooting followed a ca
rousal. Gladys, as she was known
to her associates, was standing
in the door of the room in which
Lawson was and when she was
shot fell into the hall. The
ball entered the head just back of
the ear and she died within two
hours.
A man by the name of Jones was
in a room across the hall and rushed
out at the report of the pistol and
opened fire on Lawson. One of the
bullets took effect in Lawson's right
cheek. He then ran from the room
and down the beck stairs and while
fleeing received a shot in the shoul
der. Coroner Hyde swore out warrants
charging Lawson with murder and
Jones with assault with a dangerous
weapon. Both waived examination
and were held to the grand jury on ;
$1000 bonds.
As a result of the killing. Bend
has ordered a clean-up of the town, j
Prostitutes will have to get out and '
all gambling must stop.

Do You Know
The Fire Wards?
We don't believe you do and for
this reason have copied them from
from the diagram at the electric
light plant. When the signals are
not sent in right or when the person
is excited and does not make him
self understood, of course it is im
possible to sound the correct num
ber of blasts on the whistle until
the fire is located. The fire wards
are as follows:
One blast West of Main street,
from Third north to Ochoco bridge.
Two blasts West of Main, south
from Third street.
Three blasts East of Main from
Third south.
Four blasts list of Main from
Third to Ochoco.
Five blasts East of Main, north
of Ochoco.
Six blasts West of Main, north
of Ochoco. Put this under your
hat and get to the fire as soon as
soon as you can.
