Liquor Found Cached Near Scene of Smashup. Man in
. Jail Facing Charge of Transporting Liquor. Second
Victim of Crash in Hospital.
Both city and county officers
were notified of the second ac­
cident.
After short search of
Richards* car, the officers be­
came suspicions, and started a
search of the surrognding terri­
tory.
About 100 yards belovz
the car,. 14 cases of bonded
liquor were found cached, where
the officers declare, Richards
had. hidden it after the smashup.
Richards denies all connection
with the liquor, declaring that
he had no knowledge of its be­
ing cached in the canyon. How­
ever, the officers declare they
have found evidence which will
enable them to connect Rich­
ards with the liquor.
“The fact that he failed, to re­
port his accident until more
than two -hours had elapsed,
showed us that something was
wrong.” Chief of Police Mc­
Nabb, who was called out on the
case, declared this morning.
•
It Is the opinion of the of­
ficers that Richards hoped to
hide the liquor, obtain another
car and remove It, and then fe-
port his crash, thus removing
all suspicion of any liquor run­
ning.
Richards Is in the city jail, but
will probably be taken to the
county jail at Jacksonville this
afternoon.

KLAMATH FALLS. NoV. 6—
Klamath county, thought by
geologists for many years to be
formed In the earliest periods,
and during those periods from
a volcanic action, was discredited
Wednesday during the forum
luncheon of the chamber of com­
merce by J. R. Lo reman, geolo­
gist of national repute, who Is
interested in the formation of
Southern Oregon, and who was
the main speaker of the day.
"The Klamath country is form­
ed of a black crystallized lime,
and not of volcanic substance,
as thought by many, years back.
Instead of being traced back to
the earliest periods, the Klam­
ath country is found only to he
formed during the tertiary per­
iod, according to the formation
which has been exposed during
recent investigations.
This was the statement made
by Mr. Loreman who has been
spending 25 years in the west,
and several months recently In
Klamath, studying the geological
formations of the southern Ore­
gon country, and the possible
chances of the production of
oil.
When discussing the possible
chances of discovery of oil in
Klamath, Mr. Loreman
said:
"Klamath financiers would be
foolish to start oil well drilling
without first having exhausted
all resources known to geologi­
cal parlance.
Then and then
only Is there a chance for a
50-50 break.
“There Is oil In Klamath and
I feel certain that at some time
in the not far distant future a
production will be obtained. I
base this summary on the fact
that the structure of the Klam­
ath country is similar to those
of, the most successful field»
In the world today. The largest
producing field In the world, lo­
cated in Russia, was formed dur­
ing the tertiary period, and Is
strikingly similar to the forma­
tion found here In your Im­
mediate community."

ALBANY, N. Y„ Nov. 6— (U.
P J — Six members of a family
lost their lives in a fire which
destroyed the home of George
'Kemp In Ballston, Penn., early
oday.
The surviving member,
a sixteen year old daughter of
the family, is expected to die as
the results of terrible burns aud
injuries which she received in
be conflagration.
The fire broke out around the
chimney of the home, and awak­
ened Beatrice, the sixteen year
tld daughter, who, after arousing
the family, rushed from tho
house with her night clothing
afire, calling for help.
Her. clothing was entirely
burned from her body, and she
received terrible burns which
ilmost cover her body.
The charred remains of the
other six members of the family
were found huddled together In
a room near an exit, after tho
blaze had been extinguished.
It Is believed by members
of the fire department, that the
members of the family, becomr
ing panic stricken when they
found the house ablaze, were
unable to find their Way out
of the building.
Finally overcome by the smoke
and heat, the officials declare
they gathered together in the
corner and prepared to meet
their fate.
