Two Escaped Indians
Sought In Connection
With Jackson's Death
Silas Barclay, Louis
Keen Drinking With Indian Prior
to Fatal Ride---Physician
Scouts Murder Theory
Was Freddie Jackson, drunken Indian youth, killed
in a drunken fight with other Indians at Chiloquin on
Sunday, March 15, or did he die as a result of injuries
sustained in falling from his horse, as, the culmination
of a wild, drunken ride through the streets of Chiloquin?
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.

N
Taoro's onoj moonsalne imbiber
In Klamath Falls who knows his
poison.
At least, that'B the conclusion
reached this morning by Chief of
Police Harry M. Loucks, following
tho discovery ot three gallons of
bootleg liquor In the Llnkvllle cem-
etery.
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. "Ho had
It cached up at tho graveyard eo
ho would be right handy to his final
resting place if the stuff knocked
; him for a row ot shrouds."
WILL ENFORCE
Klamath Falls took another str'.d"
forward on Its metropolitan path
today when Chief of Police Lo jc.lts
served notlco on the motoring pub
lic that tho dom-atown parking or
dinance Is going to bo rigidly ob
served from now on.
Tho city ordlnanco provldos that
two-hour parking must bo observed
on Main street betwocn Second nnd
Eleventh, nnd on Sixth street, be
tween Main und Klamath avenue,
between the hours bt 6 In llao morn
ing until 9 o'clock at night.
In Uio pnst Iho police havo not
attempted to enr.irco this ordinance,
but with tho city growing at such
rapid rate and with traffic on Main
street espeidally heavy during the
day, It has bocomo Jiecossary to in
voko this ordinance.
Chlof Loucks said that Wo patrol

for violations ot tho ordinance, be
ginning next Monday. ' -

.And his answer to the question of
I possible foul play Is both brief and
to 'the point. It U summed up In
these few words: .""" . " "
1 "It sounds like a fish story to
me."- j- ;.-, - -
! If the acting district attorney's
, deductions are correct, by hit own
j admissions It has been a veritably
j "tragedy of errors."
In the first place, he says, he
tell down In not ordering an Inqueoi
immediately after he bad recevea
news of the boy's violent death. ,
; Fell Dotvn
' Taen, he eays,. after the finger
ot suspicion had been pointed in
tho direction of a coup.e ot othei
Indian youths, wao were later ar
rested and 'held in the count Ja.i,
he fell dcn on the Job In not not.-,
tying Sheriff Hawkins that be haa
. a couple ot suspects in the county'
Jail, thus giving tbe sheriff a chance
to turow a closer -guard about the
1 flimsy contraption that serves as i
Jail. .
In other words, tue two men sus
pected are Silas Barclay and Louis
Knight, who made a successful
escape from the county Jail early
Monday morning. These are the two
men, according to Information In
the hands of tho acting district at
torney, who are suspected ot having
had a tight wlua Jackson a short
tlmo before he was seen astride his
horse on his fatal ride through
Chiloquin,
Sheriff Knew Notliing
Sheriff Hawkins knew nothing
about these two Indians except that
they were held on liquor oiarges.
The acting district attorney tailed
to Inform him that they iwere
wanted in connection with the In
quiry Into the supposedly murder
ous death ot young Jackson.
It was reported that Jackson, In
company wit' a Knight and Barclay,
were eald to have engaged la a
drinking bout In a bar near Chilo
quin on the day ot Bis- deatia. That
Jackson was drunk there appears to
.be no doubt.
Also, It was learned that Jackson
was seen at a point about halt way
between the barn and the point
where ho tell from his horse. ' The
barn is about a mllo distant troin
the place where he fell.
Opinions Differ
There Is considerable difference
ot opinion even in Chiloquin as to
tho C1U80 ot Jackson's death. Ac
cording to Dr. Rogers, ho obtained
ample prjof from eye-witnesses who'
saw tho boy's drunken .horseback
rldo a bant' tho streets. ,.

or may not have .witnessed the tall
told a different' story, : They . said
