JUDGE SCORES GUN CARRYING; PENALTYHEAVY "More violent deaths come as the result of carrying concealed weapons than from any other cause. The time for such extraordinary measures of protection Is past. Action of the kind Is a constant temptation to a man to take the law Into his own hands. I consider the offense a very serious one indeed." Such was the summing up of the case of Owen Thompson, given by Circuit Judge T. E. J. Duffy Thursday morning before passing a sentence which went the limit as far as a fine is concerned, and which imposed halt the Jail term which can be given un der the statute. Thompson, who was Indicted, and who pleaded guilty after drawing n revolver on Walter Danmeler, must pay $200 and must serve SO days in the county Jail. Protected Money, Excuse Thompson beard the sentence without a change of expression, and turned to Join the sheriff, who es corted him from tho court roam. The defendant, previous to the pro nouncement of Judgment, had offered as an excuse the statement that he carried the revolver only to protect his money which he carried home at night from his shop, and on his re' turn In the morning. Had he gone direct to his shop instead of stopping at the O'Nell & Johnson cigar store Sunday morning, the trouble never would have occurred, he said. Judge Duffy declared the excuse utterly in adequate. Tho Jury In the case of C. R. Gar trell vs. the Bend Garage, a suit to recover 1 1,200 damages for a car burned in a recent garage fire, re turned a verdict for the defendant. R. S. Hamilton represented the ga rage, W. P. Myers appearing for the plitntiff. KANSAS OPENS FIGHT ON KLAN Attorney General Asks That It Be Ousted From State, and Receiver Named (Dr United Tmt to The l!cn4 Bulletin.) TOPEKA. Kans.. Nov. 22.

Brooks Pleased With Development Made NEW WING IS HINTED Contraction to Doulilo Capacity of Inn as Soon at Conditions En tirely Auspicious Manage ment Wins Urnlso Highly pleased with the develop' ment which Bend Is making and with the assured future of the city in gen eral and of the hotel business In par ticular, P. R. Brooks of Vancouver, B. C, owner of the Pilot Butte Inn, stated Thursday morning that as soon as conditions are entirely auspi cious and the need absolute, he will begin construction of another wing. He was unable to state during his visit here Just when such construc tion would begin. An additional wing, such as was suggested to the Commercial! club by Brooks in the course of a visit here several years ago, would virtually double the ca pacity of tha Inn with practically no additional overhead cost on, such ltsms as beating, dining room, and living room service. Both from an Inspection of his property and from reports which have come to him from travelers and other hotel men, Brooks Is more than satisfied with the management of the Inn under R. M. Wood. "A hotel manager In Portland told me that Mr. Wood is the ltvest man In the business in Oregon outside of Port land," he mentioned, "and I'm rath er Inclined to believe him." To Beautify Property Daring his visit' In Bend, he made one suggestion as to beautlflcatlon of the property, which will be carried out at once. The tennis court at the north side of the present building is to be dismantled, the cinders re moved, and the ground turned Into a lawn. In case of additional con struction, this would be the probable site of the new wing.

Two railroads parallel tho river which will afford ample transportation for tho manu factured product to Portland and eastern markets. The Warm Springs Indian reserva tion contains ono of the largest com pact bodies of yellow pine timber In the west, estimated at 3,000,000,000 feet, sales of which will bo made from time to time. The Indian for est service Is now cruising the timber lands and preparing a topographic map of the entire area. There is seen a great opportunity for tho per manent location of a largo baud mill.
