II. Owens of Michigan, who came Io

Mr. Howard on his long search for,

to be located on the banks of a moun

tinuing unsuccessful, Owens quit

by one of tho men who hnd assisted
In Its building nnd In tho burying of

shortly nfter Impnrtlng tho Informa

Owens, on giving up the search for
the rnbln, loft for Portland, his pres

In the constitutional amendment

has caused that organization to con

more objectionable suggestions. To
this end meetings have been held, and
a draft of a new proposed constitu
tional amendment Is being compilod.
according to report.
Many of the strongest friends of
the Oregon system balked at the rad
ical constitutional amendment which,
the Peoples Power League has caus
ed to be printed and distributed. Vari
ous organizations, such as tho State
Orange, went on record against It,
and progressives who have stood with
V S. ll'Rcn In the past when he
evolved n new Idea, refused to swal
low his cabinet form of government.
So general was the opposition to the

At the Inquest presided over by

Chewaucan Press at Paisley, Lake
county, the Jury exonerated the slav
er of L. R. Jones.
District Attorney Kuykendall stat
ed this afternoon, when Informed by
the Herald that Cannon had been
acquitted, no far as a coroner's Jury
could do so; of-tho crime, of nnrder.
that he would Investigate the mat
ter. "A coroner's Investigation," said
Mr. Kuykendall, "Is presumed to
make In all cases a transcript of the
testimony It undertakes to hear. Tbls
I presume, was dono In this case. The
reported exoneration of Cannon car
ries with It simply a preliminary re
view of the case. There are some
men pushed to extremities who will
use tho excuse for their criminal acti
that their homo has been wrecked;
but since I havo not received any tan
gible testimony of the actual nature
of the trouble, I cannot say any more
than that I will await It and be guid
ed accordingly. Rut It n crime has
been committed I will, so far as I cau,
prosecute tho criminal to the last ex
tremity, and see that punishment Is
Imposed."
A l.akovlew dispatch gives the fol
lowing version of the tragedy;
Prank Cannon, a prominent sheep
man of Lake county, shot and killed
L. R.Vones of Paisley. Cannon was
returning homo from tho aheop camp,
and found Jones with Mrs. Cannon.
Jones fled to tho woodshed and Can
non shot and Instantly killed htm.
Jones wns editor of the Crewaucan
Press of Paisley. Mrs. Cannon Is tho
daughter of ono on tho oldest pio

Tho preliminary hearing will be
held today. W. Lair Thompson has
been employed to defend Cannon. It
is thought here that conviction Is
hardly possible considering the stato
of the feeling among tho people here.

Citizens Have Heen Feasting on Ilia
Palatable Mushroom as a Result
of the Continuous Italna Till Sea
sonPlata Xeur City Have Heen
Cotcrcil Could He Cultivated for
Market With Profit
That mushrooms can be successful
ly grown for market In Klamath coun
ty Is tho opinion of Dr. E. Westerfeld.
who Is well Informed on the growth
of fungi, and Is very fond of mush
rooms for the table. Tho doctor was
out early this morning and gathered
In a basketful or more of mush
rooms, growing on tho Hats near the
city, and has planned a feast to which
he has invited a number of his
friends.
"I am convinced," said Dr. Wester-
field, "that mushrooms can bo grown
here with profit, but I do not antici
pate that nny wilt bo shipped out, as
they nil can bo disposed of here.
When I began gathering mushrooms
about flvo weeks ago I could pick
them up by the basketful, but now
you nlmost have to fight for them, as
many others havo learned about them
and aro gathering them.
Mr. Westerfeld states that he has
only found three varieties of mush
rooms here. The agaricus campes
trls, commonly known ns the culti
vated variety. This Is a large fungi
with pink lamelae, and are found In
the grass In the pastures, and as they
grow out In the sunlight, are easily
cultivated. The agaricus rodmanl Is
ofteu found out In tho streets, and the
chABUlgooiw:or,flager-rlng, la found
bore In considerable quantity. This
Is the small mushroom one gets In
the restaurant when they order steak
smothered In mushrooms.
it Is generally supposed that mush
rooms only grow In wet places, but
while they need plenty of moisture
they also need well drained soil. They
are found on ridges where the drain
ago Is good, and the soil cannot be
too rich. Mr. Westerfeld secured
somo toadstools and puffballs, simply
to show the difference botwecn them
and varieties of edible fungi. Puff
balls and the toadstool family are un
der the branch of tho sac fungi, and
tho mushrooms belong to the rod o.
club fungi. There nro between 250.
000 and 300,000 varieties of fungi,
but not all of them are edible. It Is
estimated that not less than $260
worth of mushrooms have been gath
ered near Klamath Falls this spring.
