Comment
on the
Day 's News
By FRANK JENKINS
Bid NEWS In the papers some days.
Little news on other days. The
little news, quite often. Interest some
of us a lot more than the big news.
t your uncle died and left you 10.
000, for example. It would be little
news to the great majority of people,
but to YOU It would be BIO NEWS.
EDITORS, for years, have tried to
provide a definition of news that
would fit all cases, but they have
trouble doing It. What Is Important
news to one person Isn't news at all
to another.
That Is why the newspaper print
so many different kinds of news.
A. OBTH, of Portland, paya Den-
Li. nla McCarthy 300 In good hard
money for a "secret formula" that was
supposed to produce tungsten syn
thetically, and very cheaply, of course.
Tungsten, you know. Is a rather valu
able metl.
He took the formula to a chemist
and had It made up, and all It pro.
rtiiced was a poisonous gas, worth
nothing at all.
rp"AT Is little news. Still, It pro.
1 vldes us with a chuckle, which Is
worth something, In these dour days,
Orth was greedy and wanted to
make a lot of money QUICK. If he
hadn't been greedily anxious to get
rich quick, hla common sense would
have told him that If McCarthy really
had a formula that would produce
valuable tungsten out of cheap ma
terials he WOULDN'T THINK OP
SELLING IT for $300.
WHEN greed cornea In at the door,
common sense files out of the
window. That la why bo many sharp
ers are able to make a good living.
LONNIE POOLE and Hubert Queener,
of Linn county, go hunting at
. night with spotlights, and shoot at
the shining eyes of what they THINK
to be three deer. The three sets ot
shining eyes, it turns out, belong to
two steers and a cow, all of which are
killed.
Lonnie and Hubert are fined 200
each, which they HAVEN'T OOT. ao
they are lying In Jatt. . ,. .
MORE little news. Still. It will
pass muster, because It also pro
vides us with a chuckle.
Lonnie and Hubert thought they
were pretty smart. They were going
to go out and get some venison
EASILY. No chasing, up hill and
down dale for them, pitting their
wits and cunning against the wits
and cunning of the deer? finally win
ning out probably at the bottom of
a canyon, up whose steep sldea they
would have to carry the heavy carcass
They would Just go out at night ana
shine the eyes of some trusting buck
or doe, pot It right there beside the
road and haul It home In the car.
IT SOUNDED easy.' but SOMETHING
SLIPPED. It often happens that
way when we are out to get aome
thing we want without working very
hard for It.
LONNIE and Hubert shot the other
fellow's cow.
Old Albert Haflenger, who used to
lire up on the headwaters of the Mc
Kenzte, but now Is gone to his re
ward, whatever it may be, started out
one night to shine the eyes of a deer,
and some two or three hundred yards
from the house he eaw a pair of eyes
that looked satisfying!? large and
near. So he cut loose, and the body
back of the eyes crumpled ' a heap.
Investigating, he found t.iat he had
shot HIS OWN FAMILY COW.
THIS night hunting, blazing away
at a pair of eyea shining In the
dark, la great stuff easy, you know,
and all that. But If you are partlcu-
i lar about your definitions, you can
hardly call It sport.
CPEAKINO of sport, you've probably
J heard this one:
Two fellows were, out bird hunt
ing, and after an hour or so of It one
ef them noticed the other pulling
down on a quail running along
through the grass. He waa properly
horrified, and called out:
"Hey, you're not going to shoot it
while It's running, are you?"
I should say I'm not," the other
snortsmsn replied. "I'm going to
wait till It stops, of course."

Second Degree Murder Ver

Once Sentence Friday
A federal court Jury this afternoon
returned a verdict of guilty of sec
ond degree murder against Racine
Weiser, 30, Klamath Indian reserva
tion youth, charged with the slaying
of his father, Sylvester Weiser, on the
morning of August 4th, last. Sen
tence will be passed next Friday
morning. The Jury took one ballot
after returning from lunch.
The government charged that
Weiser slew his father, with premedi
tation following a drunken spree In
Klamath Falls, the night before.
Self defense with a supplementary
plea that he acted for the protection
of his mother, was pleaded by the
defense. In Justification.
The penalty la from 20 years to me
Imprisonment under federal law.
Instructions of the court, and final
arguments of the government and de
fense, were made this morning.
Three verdicts were possible, under
the Instructions of the court mur
der In the second degree; manslaugh
ter, and not guilty.
The Jury retired at noon, and went
at once to lunch before starting de
liberations. The defense theory was that the
fatal shot was fired by Racine as the
father advanced threateningly towards
him, with an upraised club, and that
"he was In fear of his life, or great
bodily harm." They charged that the
slain man, with an oath, had shouted:
T ought to wring your neck."
Counsel for the defense set forth
that "deceased waa a man of burly
physique and a savage.' They charg
ed that he had spent the allotted
money of his son and wife upon
"another woman, yet the government
pictures him as a good Indian." They
further charged that the elder Wei
ser "had practiced brutalities upon
the mother of this boy." It was
claimed that all the elements of self
defense were present.

Those three old boys would not
recognize anything unless it
had had a fight to get in. I am
