There is a striking contrast in the demeanor of the three layers convicts, Tom Mur ray, Ellsworth Kelly and James Willos, who shot their way out of the Oregon penitentiary on the evening of August 12, and who were returned to the prison Sat urday and Sunday. His capture without the firing of a shot, and the two nights and days he has spent in solitary confinement in a death cell since his return to the big house have done nothing to break the spirit of Murray, and prison offi cials said this morning, he is apparently resigned to the fate that he will likely hang for the slaying of James Sweeney and Milt H'olman guards. Murray has not yet displayed even a trace of nervousness, say the guards who have watched over him constantly since his return.

Bridge Repair Problem To Be Settled Soon County Court to Meet With Commission This Week When the state highway commis sion meets IIiIh week, two repre sentatives of Klamath county will meet with it to ask its cooperation in alleviating a meDace to automo tive travel in Klamath, namely the Keno bridge across Klamath river. County Judge 'Uunnell and Coun ty Commissioner Short have left for Salem where they will be on hand the opening day of the com mission meeting. The state and the county have locked horn- on who should finance the repair of the bridge. The state maintains that long be fore the Ashland road was improved and designated as a state highway, the county had constructed the Keno bridge which was known as a coun ty brldgo. "Once a county bridge always a county bridge,'' Js their standard cry. :p;'. ... f And inasmuch as It is a county bridge, it is obviously up to the county to spend the money for the repair of the span, even though the bridge is utilized by the state high way, they claim. The county, through its commis sioners, comes forth and holds that a bridge used by the stuto whether it was built by the county or not is to be maintained by the state. It Is tho traffic routed over a state highway thai is menaced by the pre carious condition of tho Keno bridge and it is then up to the state high way which has jurisdiction over these roads, to repair the structure. But it understood that tho county court is willing to consider a co operative plan by which the cost of the Improvement would lie divid ed. A stale highway bridge engineer on an inspection of Klamath bridges over a month ago adjudged the bridge in a dangerous condition ow ing to a concrete support that had fallen away underneath one of the trusses. At that time he declared that the county should be forced to main tain the bridge. The court took is sue with the state and a deadlock between the state and the county has been the result with the hridge still unrepaired and heavy traffic using Ihe span dally.
