This Is Santa Claus' Toy Shop! The Quality Store This Store Is a Real Murderer Captured The murder of Georee Oufurrenna which wa3 chronicled in the Examiner two weeks ago. has been solved by the cauture of Martin Azoarren the herder in the emclov of the murdered man and his brother, bv Sheriff Elzie Smith, of Modoi Countv. at the Coolev ranch six miles south of Alturas last week. The man has confessed his crime and there will be no trouble in secunne a conviction. He states that he and the dead man bad had a Quarrel and that he thot in self defense though the Dosition of the body and the wound showed that the man had evidently teen shut in the back. The weacon that caused the death of the sheeD man was a 25-35 Winchester ar.d bears the marks "DOE" "PV" and "AD" on the barrel with some other old marks that are undeciuherable owire to wear. The crime was committed rear Derio. Ore . and is one of the most atrocious crimes that has ever been committed in that cart of the state. The sheriff from that riart of the country is on his wav to Alturas for the nrisorer tor whom a reward of SCOO had been offered. Sheriff Smith is on the job when it comes to beine on the lookout for wanted men. Wew Truck Line R. M. Boiler, who tins been eneaced in the truck and transfer business for several years uast at Klamath Falls, has decided to cast his lot with Lake view, and is now on his way here with three trucks and two busses, together with several teams. He has a com plete equipment for movirir oianos. safes and other heavy pieces in addi tion t j his trucks and busits. A short time since he cloned a deal for tne pr.Dertv just south of Farnum Harris' residence rjroofcrtv. including the McElhenev barn, and he expects to reach here in a few days, and be ready for business. Mr. Holler has ha! much experience in his line of bUEintia and has an enviable refutation for promptness anr.d suuare dealing. Mavfieli Bojr.e. who wa reported bometime ago to he very ill with in flamatory rheumatism ht his New Pine Creek home, in now feeling consider ably better and ia up and around now. Tardy Justice j This matter of chasing thieves and murderers for whom a large reward has been offered i not all joy accord in to Sheriff A. E. Smith, of Modoc Countv. It will be remembered that be is one of the officers that took cart in the chase and right with the Little High Kock C'anvon Indian Murderers that killed the Surprise Valley stock men last winter in which one of the members of his pose was killed. At that time rewards aggregating $9,140.5(1 were offered for the capture of the murderers and strange to shv at this time only $3,143.50 of the amount haa been raid. The rewards offered bv the citizens of Surprise Vallev have been turned over to the men that earned them at the risk of their liven and after enduring hardships in the worst weather that the mountain country through which thev trailed the men has ever seen, but the J5.000 offered bv Nevada and the $1,000 offered bv California have never been puid and the outlook precludes this matter being attended to properly in the near future. When men go out and work as hard as the men did that fought the Indians and killed the most of them, it seems as thoueh their work should be better appreciated. The Fix thousand dollars that is due is needed in many instances bv the men that earned it and there should be no hesitancy on the tart of the state officials that offered at the time, to see ing that, every cent is promptly paid. Some Corral This The largest cattle corral in Klamath Countv has been built thin Kail on the Indian reservation on the David Cod perfield ranch. David Copoerfield is an Indian, and the corral orobablv will become his although built bv Luke Walker, a white man. who haa put in scales for weighing cattle, with the understanding that when he takes the scales awav the big corral will remain. The Coonerfield ranch ia on the Whis key Creek, live milea from Yanix. in the Klamath reservation. The ranch lies just at the foot of Black Hutte. about tnree milea from the mouth of the avcan river. JMr. Walker has tak en out a permit for five years' trading on the reservation for wh'ch it ia said he paid $250. and ia buving cattle from the Indian, butchering some of them and selling Ixef back again to them, and selling the remainder of the cattle to buvers who do not have permits to trade with the Indians. Walker ia 22 years old. Green Garden Arrivals George Sherman and wife. Omaha. Neb ; H. S. Mold. Denver. Colo. ; lieoree Mathews. Salem, Ore.; 1. F. Wilson. Los Angeles. Cal. ; .1. D. Mariner. Keno.

County Controls Bv referring to Lord's Oregon laws the Countv Commissioners yesterday discovered that there is a state law giving telephone and telegraph com panies the riirht to place polc.-t and string wires along county roads subject to the control of the County Courts. Streets and roads within the limits of incorporated towns are not included within the meaning of the law. The discovery wb3 made in the search for material with which to force the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com pany into line with the Commiss. oners' demand that the countv be supplied with telephone free of charge in return for the use of county roads. The :itv gets the majority of its telephones, in cluding those in the fire stations and between the fire stations, for nothing in exchange for franchise privileges.

WlLI.MS. Countv Superintendent. The desirability of ruttintf back frull tree nevcrelv or nuHlernicIv la aovern ed bv the varieties of tho tree f.nd the character of the soil, its fertility, etc.. hut it la now more Important than formerly that tho heada of the treca ahould be kept comparatively low. in ord. r to be aide to anrav every portion of the tors thoroughly. It is now out of the ouoetion to ex pect to succeed with orchard fruit, un less anravinii is done junt as avutem aticiallv and regularly a the fertilis ing, anil cultivating haa to be done in order to nucceed. Ia shortening and pruning the growth, it ia essential the pruning be dene every vear. and not wait to do too severe cutting back later. The first vear the pruning vhould onlv be suffi cient to make tho trees avmmetrical. If the trees are making too long a growth, the ends of the nhoota should be mnchrd off to check them, and thia summer pinching of unsvmmetrical branches should be done in later years. It ore studies the growth rarefullv. thev can determine just where the branehca will grow from the direction thev start from the base. The second venr the surplus branches should be cut out. and the foundation brunches pruned back from one fourth to one half, according to the variety, in order to make a strong foundation base for the top that must be developed later. : In pruning, avoid the formation of crutches, as thev r. re sure to caune trouble later bv splitting when loaded with fruit. The third vear the trees should be pruned about as for the second vear. At thia ago do not re move the short, stubhv branches thut form on the older wood, which are knotn as fruit spurs. When tho trre ' is four years old. and about to produce a small unanitv of fruit, keen the tup jur-t suflicicntlv own to ullow the sun and air to get in without making an open or bare appearance. The fourth and following years, and until trees begin to bear, foundation branchea slmuld be cut back annually sufficient to make them strong and i heavy enough to bear the loads that i will be put upon them later. After i fruiting, not much pruning is pecea I sarv. except to thin out surplus grow th I and keep the trees symmetrical in ; shape. In pruning, prune from the too i down, and not from the bottom up. In cutting or sawing a limb frurn 1 the trunk, or a small limb from a largo i one. the cut should be made close un 1 to the trunk so as to leave no stub. The large wuund-i should be covered with a good, heavy bodied lead faint made of linseed oil and white lead. DICK KINCSLKY. J Real Bier Men I Alturas people are trying to find out j who is the tallest man in Modoc County, j which is famous for many big men. Peter Weber, an American born resi dent ot the county, of Swiss parentage is at the head of the list with six feet, four and three ouarter inches marked up against him. There are a number ot others that are said to excel this figure though thev have not registered as vet. Enormous Reductions Stupendous Savings It is our custom to make these sales in Jauuarv.
