her mother to go away and let bar

"All I ask of mother." she waa
qnoted, "la that she go away and
let m alone. She talks of com
ing back. I don't want her back."
Dldnt Strike Mother
Mrs.. McPherson, terming bar-
self "Just a sick girl." denied am
phatlcally she struck her mother.
Mrs. Kennedy, however. reDealed
her assertions she suffered brok
en nose In a fistic encounter with
her daughter snd announced Isst

Mr. Fisher and K. II. Dunbar,

stated that about 90 per cant ot
tha traffic Into Crater Lake was
going through th Medford route
tor that reason. ;
Reports Magnified
Mr. Fisher stated that a larger
percentage ot tha Crater Lake

because of the magnified reporta
ot tha condition ot the mountain
