Plaster Casta of Footprints
M. N. Cates, identification
specialist, rushed here from
Columbia and snent the night
making plaster casts of two
sets of footprints in the field.
The two sets gave rise to a
police theory that more than
one man was involved in the
(layings.
High feeling was evident
from the talk of townspeople
who Wedr'sday had closed
their stor.- and turned out en
masse at the funeral arranged
for Miss Cain, a popular bigh
school sophomore.
There was also evidence that
some residents feared the killer
was still at large in this region.
, Several houses kept their lights
on all night, parents refused to
let their children go out alone
and front doors were barred.

Decides Oregon
Rules Indians
Klamath Falls UP) The
state of Oregon, and not the
tribal council,- has jurisdiction
over crimes committed on the
Klamath Indian reservation,
Circuit Judge David R. Van
denberg ruled Thursday.
The federal government last
August, under a congressional
act, withdrew from law en
forcement on a number of res
ervations throughout the coun
try. It was presumed that the
affected states had jurisdiction
but the defendant In a murder
case here contended that only
the tribal council could en
force laws on the reservation,
because of an 1870 treaty.
But the judge In his decision
said that the state claimed Jur
isdiction, was given it by the
wording of the new law, and if
there had been any treaty vio
lation "the redress will have
to come from anot'ier source."
