this one of the best cards they have yet offered the fans
of this city, thus insuring a big house and plenty of
money for the poor children who will reap the benefits.
The boxers have all signified a willingness to take
smaller purses in order that the benefit fund may be
larger, and with this spirit guiding those who make up
the card, the people of Klamath are expected to do
their part and crowd Scandia hall to the very doors.
Bobby Ross has been signed up as the new referee.
Recent decisions of the judges' and referee have not
been satisfactory from the standpoint of those who sup
port the cards, so it was decided to try Ross as the
third man in the ring. He is an old-tinier and knows
the game from ammonia to resin.

This is the word received m

Worden district. Mr, Nelson has
already taken one emergency
measure. He ha3 authorized C.
O. Prentice, local veterinary,
to order vaccine from San
Francisco. All the dogs in the
neighborhood will be tre I
with the special preparation to
rentier them immune from 'he
rallies.
"Fifteen of 20 'dogs wilf be
treated." Dr. Prentice said this
morning. "I will rund up every
canine of the community and
inject the vaccine, which will
prevent the spread of the dis
ease among the dogs. It is not
uncommon to have an outbreak
of rallies at this time of year."
The last serious outbreak of
rabies in Klamath was during
the summer of 1924, when sev

by diseased coyotes and in a
short time died.
The danger lies primarily to

GUILT IS CONFESSED
Bad Paper Amounting to
$1100 is Sent to Oakland
Mail Order House
M. J. Schmidt, alias Oscar
MacKenzie, stepped up to
a post office window this
morning fully expecting to
receive a diamond ring. His
expectations proved false
and instead of taking deliv
ery of a diamond ring, he
was arrested oh a charge of
using the mails to defraud.
Schmidt signed a confes
sion that he had deliberate
ly attempted to defraud the
Montgomery Ward & Co.,
by writing a check using an
assumed name. The confes
sion was signed in the pret
ence of Postmaster John

Instead of filling cut the order,
the mall order houae sent a dum
my package and .wired the poat of
fice department here to hold who
ever asked for the package under
the name of MacKencle, and to
place him under arrost.
ThU3 warned, the post office de
partment was prepared for Mac
Kenzie when ho stepped up to the
window this morning. As scon as
he gave his name, post office -officials
called the sheriff's office.
N'tither Sheriff Hawkins nor one
of hl3 deputies answered the call,
but W. A. Foster, state traffic offi
cer, luckily happened to be In the 1
office and picking up County Traf
fic Officer Knowles drove to tho
post office aud placed MacKeazle
under arreit.

for the package, .was asked to come
