HAVE IlltOl'OHT I.N MOST OF
PEDDLERS I.N liAHT FEW DAYS
That a big crimp will be put In tho
cuntomary booze peddling which has
bcon practiced so promiscuously horo
I'bouti recently, ii Indicated by tho
work dono In the past few days by
Sergeant l. M. Dennett and Corporal
IK F. Tcmplo of Portlund, rcprcscn-
thtlvc of Company 4 of the Oregon
military police, who have bcen work.
Inp In conjunction with local offlc
lals In rounding up n swarm of boot
leggers operating betwoen Klamath
Falls und Oorrls. U. 8. Marshal
Frank T. nerry has also been very
active lu this work.
In addition to those already men
tioned, another good slsed group was
apprehended last night.
Jesse Bailey, Thomas Riley, James
Madlll, E. W. Cathey and John Hir
rlbon were arrested on tho road from
Dcrrls on chargoj of having-Jlqnor
in their poiaesilon and being drunk
on tho public highway.
C. Nanl, George 8mlth and J, R.
Smith wore taken on their arrival n
the train.
It li believed that activity of thli
nature will soon put n stop to the
illlgltlmate practice which hag be
come so objectionable.
It Is probable that representative
or the Oregon military police will be
hero permanently, from this time on.

'a messago from
BK HELPMATE
The grand old days for the noble
Kedskln seem to be thing of the
past. Time was when the Indian
braves sat in weighty counsel togeth
er while the squaws ground the corn
and did the menial work of the home. '
All this, howbver, stoma to be ancient
history and things are by no means
what they were.
This transformation was brought
out In a suit brought by Orant Smith
of the Yatnax district against his al
leged cruel and inhuman wife, Mag
gie Smith, to whom he has been mar
rled since 1895,
The complaint stntes that the' de
fendant not only abused the plaintiff
with fearful language during a great
part ot their wedded, life, but that
she frequently went after him with
htlcks and her flits, and that his
health Is In a percartous condition
as a result of this treatment. One
con, a young man of 20, is mentioned
In the action. Attorney H. M. Man
ning Is counsel for the plaintiff.
