Kendall Takes Wallop
At Purses Of
Culprits
Tho way of the transgressor In
hard on tbe pocketbook.
Especially so If said transgressor
happens to appear In court before
Acting Justice of the Peace Kendall.
Survey of his books this morning
revealed that In the. less than three
weeks ho hen held office, a tririo of
more than $3500 In fines has been
assessed.
He has made the derisions In 35
curos, honco has been averaging
about J 100 per culprit. Among tho
heaviest losers was Adam Sharpcck
of Pelican City, who in addition to
smashing up his new Huick und be
ing sent to the hospital, was also set
back 250 on a charge of reckless
driving.
Hootleggcrs nnd those having li
quor in tholr possession also con
tributed liberally to county coffers.
The record shows the prohibition
fund has been enriched by some
20til.5O during Kendall's regime
and if prosperity keeps up the fund
will soon have enough money in it
to again pay tho expenses of a num
ber of county prohl sleuths, court

NAVARRO DEATH
AIRED TODAY IN
JUSTICE COURT
When he mentioned the injuries of
Florentine Navarro to Jose Rami
ret and Juau ifamtrdk, neither of the
two Mexicans evinced the slightest
bit of interest.
Such was the testimony this morn
ing of Julio Gonialcs at tho prelimin
ary hearing of Lux Saucedo. charged
with second degree murder in con
nection with the death of Navarro.
Gonzales testified that he last saw
the two Mexicans at Algoma on the
morning of August 19. the day after
Navarro was killed.
That tho fractured skull which
caused the death of Navarro could
have been caused by a blow of a ham
mer, which was exhibited by the
state, was the opinion of Dr. E. D.
Johnson, who attended the Injured
mau when first brought to tho hos
pital and who performed an autopsy
after bis death.
Deputy Coroner I. A. Towey could
not be sure what sort of instrument
had caused tho fracture.
The hearing was still in progress
this afternoon.

WANT NEW STRUCTURE
Cost of Project Would be

Agreement to repair tbe bridge
spanning Klamath tlver at Keno
aud partial ugrecment to construct
a new bridge In phue of the. weak
structure that now sorves the trav
eling puhli..: was made In Portland
today following a conference of tho

tog to word received here.
When the bridge was reported t
be in a dangerous cmdltion bt Ulo
state iii,; .i.iy brhlge engineer.
Chairman William Duby. of tho
commission spoko up:
Bridge Unaafo
"When we have a brldgo tbat is
unsafe, there should be no argu
ment regarding the closing of It and
its Immediate .repair. We ought not
to quibble aj -to who should pay (or
the repairs."
As a forecast of what would hap
pen, tile skirmish between the abate
highway department and the coun
ty court over who will pay for tao
repair work .vas a poor indication.
From Teporta received, both par
ties agreed to meet the cost of tha
repairs but the Klamath eommli
s'oners by their Insistence won out.
To lie Settled Soon
Then the question arose over tho
necosaity cf constructing a Toew
bridge across the river. Prelim
inary estimate of too cost 'of tho
bridge are $39,000, cf which- tha
Klam'ith coun'ij: court agreed to pay
$10,000. The question was -taken
under a:!visement for an answer to
be given soon.
Repair cf the Keno bridge will
probably cause the construction-of
a temporary span to serve, tbe traf
fic during the course of the repair
work. .
