Acting' District Attorney Myers says that the boy's death was due to foul play. " Dr. William S. Rogers, Klamath Reservation physician, says that the fall from the horse caused the death. What information the acting district attorney has in his possession, other than the word of a few notoriety seeking Indians, he refuses to divulge. Albeit, he insists with much vehemence that he is possessed of much dam aging evidence. ' - .- "FISH STORY" V Dr. Rogers' examined young Jackson a short time after he died. He interrogated witnesses Who, said they, had -seen the boy' last wild ride through- ChiloquuYs 'streets. ; ' WHISKEY IMBIBER WOULD SAVE COST r OF CEMETERY TRIP N Taoro's onoj moonsalne imbiber In Klamath Falls who knows his poison.

The forbidden raisin fruit was found by a group of small boys In their rambllngs about among .tho tombstones. They called the police, and Chief Loucks ,went up and got she whiskey. . ' "This fellow surely had the In- dlan sign on Klamath moonshine," murmured the police chief.

If the acting district attorney's , deductions are correct, by hit own j admissions It has been a veritably j "tragedy of errors."
