o( Klamath Falls, The News and
I Herald and radio station KFJ1
rfor the wonderful cooperation
they gave the police department
during the celebration days of
July 4, S and 6. After checking
a. the accident experience I find
that Klamath Falls this year had
a very low accident rate as the
following figures will testify:
Property damage 12
Personal injury 1 ,
"The maximum time for the
motorist to get to and from the
a rodeo was 30 minutes this year,
as compared with two hours
J during the previous years. There
was only one slight property
J damage on South Sixth street
while the two lane traffic plan
was in operation.
"This was made possible by
careful driving during the heavy
traffic congestion, and shows
what can be done when the mo
torist becomes traffic conscious.
"During this same period
there were 20 arrests for hazard'
ous moving violations. By di'
viding the number of arrests uv
to the number of personal injur

When the fateful ninth began
the National leaguers appeared
to have their fourth victory In
the classic wrapped up.
They were headed 9 to 3 by
virtue of two home runs hit in
successive innings by Arky
Vaughn, veteran shortstop of
the Pittsburgh Pirates, each witn
a man on base.. Passeau, fourth
pitcher for the National leag
uers, appeared to be holding
the Americans well in check.
Catcher Frank Hayes, first
American up in the ninth, was
an easy pop-up victim, and some
of the fans began moving for
the exits, but Ken Keltner of
Cleveland, batting for the pitch
er, beat out a smash to short
stop, and Lou Boudreau fol
lowed with a clean single to
center. Cecil Travis, worked
Passeau for a walk to load the
sacks and bring up Joe DiMag-
gio.
Joe obliged with a hard
grounder to short and Keltner
scored while Travis was being
forced at second. Williams, who
had knocked in the first run of
the game in the fourth frame,
worked the count to one strike
and two balls and then laid into
the horsehide to climax about
as thrilling a tussle as the game
ever produced.

lice court Tuesday morning after
an average of around 25 per

council a letter objecting to the
council's recent decision to per
mit parking in tho curbslde
parkway on Eleventh street ad
joining the reclamation prop
erty. Hayden said that traffic
is heavy on Eleventh street and
it is essential to maintain vision
for operators of equipment mov
ing in and out of the two
entrances to the reclamation
property. He asked that the
council prohibit any parking
within 30 feet of these entrances.
The matter was referred to the
council as a whole.
The council voted that hence
forth the city will refuse to ac
cept options on city property on
which the title is not cleared
for title insurance. This action
was in accordance with a recom
mendation of the executive com
mittee of the realty board.
Mayor Houston told tho coun
cil he feels the council should
approve or reject all expenses
for trips which any city official
may take. Heretofore this has
been done by the finance com
mlttee. After some discussion.
it was decided tho finance com
mittee recommendations on each
proposed trip should be review
ed and either confirmed or re
jected by the council.
Recent actions of the council
as a whole were approved. These
included refusal to permit the
AFL sawmill workers union to
use a loudspeaker on the public
streets, and to authorize the fin
ance committee to take neces
sary steps in acquiring a new
"black Maria" for the police.
A. J. Kroenert, 425 Pine
street, told the council that be
cause of escaping steam from
Klamath Heating company pipes,
he can get nothing but hot water
out of the pipes In his house.
The matter was referred to the
city engineer and plumbing in
spector. Councilman W 1 e s e n danger
recommended that a street along
the eastern hills, between Del
Moro and Fremont streets, be
I temporarily closed. He said that
people drive slowly along this
dusty road and peek into the
yards and back windows of
houses below. The matter was
taken under advisement.

to Officer Wilson's house at
Beatty to appeal to him for
help, and ho accompanied her
bnrk to the Fisher house.
According to the account giv
en District Attorney L. Orth
Slscmoro and Sheriff Lloyd L
Low, Wilson walked to the door
of the house.
Ho saw Fisher Inside, with
the riflo.
At that moment Fisher al
legedly shouted. "Here It Isl"
and the rifle firo followed.
Wilson, despite the wounds in
his chest, staggered back from
the house for about B0 feet, and
emptied his gun into the struc
ture.
Fisher came around tho corn
er with his riflo in his hand.
Tommy Wilson, a negro living
nearby who had witnessed the
gunplay, shouted to Wilson to
fall flat. Wilson rolled under
an old truck for cover.
Tommy Wilson and Del Mc
Donald then took the wounded
officer in a truck to Beatty. A
call was made to Sheriff Low
and Indian Officer John Arktll,
and Wilson was then placed in

Posse Forms
A few miles from Beatty the
bearings burned out in the car.
Mrs. Jack Harrison, wife of a
Beatty merchant, was following
in her ear and brought Wilson
on into the K lath Valley hot
pital. Because of the nature of
the wounds It was virtually im
possible to give him effective
first aid. and he had bled badly
when brought to the hospital.
Sheriff Low and Deputy Sher
iff Jack Franey sped immediate
ly to Beatty, gathered a posse,
and began a search for Fisher.
Caught In Field
The white man was tracked
around the outskirts of Beatty
and finally cornered behind a
house.
He was advised to come out
and gve himself up by the sher

Fisher was armed.
Instead, Fisher chose to run
He fled across a rye field.
The possemen pursued, firing

on the ground, crawling over
his gun.

Wilson Is 39 years of age,

In Portland. Ho has been at
lieutty about five years, und of
ficers stated he Is one of tho
most highly respected men in
law enforcement circles in this

federal Indian service, under In
dian Officer John Arkell of
Klamath Agency.
Fisher has lived at Bentty a
number of years, He has a
misdemeanor record at the
county jail, where his "mug"

It was not certain Tuesday
whether tho case against Fish
er would be taken through fed
eral or stato courts. An attir't
on a federal officer is a federal
offense, and there are state laws
against assault while armed
with a dangerous weapon and
assault .th I nt to kill. Legal
angles of the case were await
ing the outcome of Wilson's
fight for life at the hospital.
