First Blood Shed
In Oakland Milk
War; Two Injured
'STOCKTON, Cal Nov. 21. First
blood was shed iu the Oakland milk
war when John Perry, a ranch hand
at the H. M. Flutes dairy, north of
Manteca, was p t in the temple nn.1
dangerously wou-d at the Stanislaus
river bridge, south of Kinon. Tory
Silvo, rancher, living south "of Man
teca, had his foreheud cut by auoth-.-i
flying bullet.
Details of the shooting are" meagre,
the witnesses being unwilling to talk,
but it is believed that the injured
man was a member, of a group f
dairymen who had gathered to inter
cept milk trucks com iug from tho Ma
deto district going to Ashland. Ah
two trucks, followed by seveiyil cars
carrying guards, came from the south, H
men stepped out into the road and the
men on the milk wagons opened fire.
Perry fell and, the others were dis
persed. The trucks continued north.
Producers have been trying for
several days lo boost1 the price of mi'k
to them to 20c.
E
.Construction of new juil for l..u:e
county wJiich hits been the ceuter of
much agitation each year for some
time past, has come into the open
agti'm and with seemingly more for:e
behind it this time. Siigestiuns th;M
the county court and budget commit
tee make aotne provision for this
luive heeil made but. there will be no
nilion taken ns the hU per cent'lim
itution will preclude any upiiropi":!-'
tioti for tllis purpose, according to
1'. Iturnnrd. judge of Uie county court.
"The need of n new jnil has lacu
felt for some time but it is not pos
sible to include any ilAi in the budjet
for this purpose. The best meana
would probably be n millage tax for
the purpose," the judge states.
May Aid City.
The judge Kiiid' today thut It was
his -belief that some arrangement
should be made with the city for ;iic
cm-o of municipal prisoners and in this
way a new jail would benefit bolil
Anility and city ns one set of ntten.i
ents could take enre of nil the needs
of both in thiK line, and save eipeiw.
At least $30,000 it Is estimated would
he necessary for a building auch us
would be needed here lo care for pres
ent needs and the near future.
"A jail with one hundred cells
should he planned and if feasible it
sJiould be built on the vacant property
in renr of the courthouse so that en
trance to the court room and the of
fice of the district attorney could be
provided," the judge said.
' Cases Increasing.
It la the opinion of county officials
that within the next year with tho
growth of Uie county and the build
ing of the new rail line that the num
her of criminal eases to come before
the fourts will be doublet. The pres
ent jsil is about one-third aa large as
necessary at the present time. If
some provision is not made it uy
flje necessnry to send county prisoners
to the Multnomah county jail such as
is now heing done in Klamath and
some other counties of the state, it is
predicted.
The plan of co operation with the
city has been talked 9ver with city
officials and seems to have their ap
proval, Judge Bernard said. Ijilst year
the grand jury recommended the erec
tion, of a new jail hut no action was
taken. This year the grand jury a did
not take up the question, however.
