THIS COW ! the center of controversy tn the rustling trials of Eldon Lyle Shafer end
Paul Robert Wilson occupying attention in circuit-court. The state maintains that Shafer
and Wilson stole the cow from Chiloquin rancher Lorenz VanderKamp; the defendants
aid they did not. Shafer was convicted on the charge; Wilson's trial opens Monday.
Visible on the cow are VanderKamp's VK brand and a blotched area claimed to be Wil
son's RW brand.
Judge Denies Effort
To Move Wilson Trial
By TOM STIMMEL
An anticipated lull between the
cattle rustling trials of Eldon Lyle
Shafer and Paul Robert Wilson
failed to materialize in circuit
court last week.
Instead, Judge David R. Van-
donberr spent Friday hearing mo
tions from Defense Attorney Glenn
u. Ramirez which would:
1. Set aside the guilty verdict
against Shafer, or
2. Grant Shafer a new trial,
and
3. Move Wilson's forthcoming
trial to another county, or
4. Remove evidence in the Wil
ton trial fa black, white-faced
cow) on grounds of illegal search
and seizure.
Ramirez lost all four motions.
The determined defense attorney
thereupon petitioned the court for
permission to call eight more de
fense witnesses in addition to the
five ordinarily permitted. The
judge, after brief consideration,
allowed seven of the additional
eight witnesses sought.
Almost lost in the tangle of legal
maneuvering was an action by the
court which sentenced Shafer to
seven years in the penitentiary for
larceny of livestock.
Both Wilson. 28-year-old Fort
Klamath rancher, and Shafer, his
35-year-old assistant, were indict
ed for the theft of a black, white
faced cow from Chiloquin rancher
Lorenz G. , VanderKamp last
spring.
Both men denied the charge and
asked for separate trials.
Shafer was convicted last week
at the close of a weck-and-a-half
long trial. Wilson goes on trial
Monday, as scheduled.
,The two defendants also were
Indicted for the theft of three
white-faced Herefords from ranch
er Adlai Johnson, which charge
they have denied. They also re
quested separate trials on that
charge. Shafcr's trial is scheduled
for February 24 (a change from
the original date because Febru
ary 23 is a holiday) and Wilson
is scheduled for trial March 9.
In addition, Shafer is charged
with a third theft, a Johnson calf,
and faces trial March 23 on that
charge.
All these matters indicate pres
ent or future court action, but the
history of the Slate vs. Wilson
and Shafer is even more involved.
The defendants were tried Inst
summer on a cattle theft charge
that resulted in a three-and-a-half
day trial. That ended in a mis
trial declared by the judge be
cause of prejudicial testimony
from a state witness. The state
subsequently dismissed the
charges against Wilson and Sha
fer because the court would not
accept the state's mothering up
process of identification.
And a charge brought in dis
trict court at the same time the
pending charges were made was
dismissed because a rancher who
signed a complaint refused to ac
knowledge ownership of the cow
involved.
In the meantime, Wilson and
Shafer, through Ramirez, filed civ
11 damage suits against Adlai
Johnson and two stale livestock
inspectors on grounds of harass
ment and persecution. Those
suits, amounting to more than

$200,000, are still unsettled.
Most of the wrangling in couit
friday. however, centered
Ramirez' motion to move Wilson's
forthcoming trial to another coun
ty. '
The defense attorney contended
a change of venue was necessary
because of ia unfair and unrea
sonable publicity," (b) "unfair
and unreasonable conduct ... of
the district attorney," and fc) ac
tion "of state brand officials and
others in spreading false and in-
llammatory information through
out Klamath County allegedly re
lating to the . . . case.
For those reasons, and others
cited in accompanying affidavits.
Ramirez maintained Wilson "can
not receive a fair and impartial
trial . . in Klamath County."
In presenting his case, Ramirez
said he did not make the motion
lightly. .
In all fairness, he said, we
feel it would be beneficial to the
court, justice and all concerned
that a change of venue be grant
ed where the trial may be heard
with an open mind.
His petition specifically excluded
Lake County as well as Klamath
County "because the news sources
of both counties are substantially
tne same.
Affidavits filed with the motion
alleged that adverse publicity had
been widely spread by newspa
pers, radio and television, "that
state brand inspectors have per
sonally contacted the majority of
stockmen, farmers, and ranchers
and have told them (Wilson) was
guilty," and that some of Wil
son's longtime friends, "having no
knowledge of the facts of the
case, showed definite prejudice
and hostility against (him) based
solely upon such publicity and mis
conduct of state officials.
Deputy District Attorney O. W.
Goakey presented the state's cross
motion. He observed that he had
spent much time In the court
room during the Shafer trial and
failed to note anything prejudi
cial in that proceeding."
He said "certainly cattlemen
are interested in the case," but
this was natural, not due to pre
judicial publicity.
And he added: I don t believe
the court or anybody else thinks
even the spectators reached an
inflamed stale of mind."
Goakey said it was the defense
responsibility to show prejudice.
and termed the motion "wholly in
adequate, with nothing to tell the
court what the motion is based
upon.
i rom the bench, before the prin
cipals in the argument, newsmen,
and a few interested attorneys,
judge vandenhorg said:
This court has never been
aware of the fact that it had
looked upon any criminal case
tightly, in every case, this court
has attempled to give a man ev
ery advantage the law allows. For
this reason, I have looked over
this motion thoroughly."
Should a change of venue be
granted, he said, "you would still
have the district attornev and the
brand officials following. How
would this change the case one
iota?
Regarding inflammatory Infor
mation: "If those facts were true.
I have nothing (in the motion)
to show thorn.
"I haven't had one news clip
ping attached to inform the court
that it is Inflammable. I vc
checked back myself to find that
clipping, but I can't. There is not
one single thing set forth that they
said, or they did. or they Printed."
The judge also reminded Rami
rez that the Shafer trial jury was
picked in 45 minutes, or so. "It's
probably the fastest picking of a
jury in a criminal case since I've
been in Klamath County. Now,
how inflamed were the people
Ramirez said he had observed
trial spectators commenting dur
ing recesses within hearing of jur
ors. If Ramirez found something
amiss, the judge said, he could
have mentioned it at the time.
The judge said he found nothing
unusual. "I was out there. I had
two bailiffs out there," he said,
said.
"I don't see it," Ihe judge con
eluded. He denied the motion, al
lowed seven of eight additional
witnesses Ramirez requested, and
denied Ihe motion to suppress the
cow as evidence.
The trial begins Monday at 10
a m., as scheduled.

Youth Corps
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Establish-
ment of a Youth Conservation
Corps to assist in preventing ju
venile delinquency would help
conserve both human and out
door resources for the benelit of
the nation," Sen. Richard L. Neu-
bcrger said Saturday.
Nciiborgcr is co-sponsoring a bill
to create such an organization. The
proposal provides for enrollment
of young men between the ages
of 10 and 22 for work on public
lands under the supervision of soil
conservationists, forest rangers
and wildlife specialists.
Purpose of the program is to
discourage juvenile delinquency by
supplying constructive work op
portunities for hoys and young
men whose abilities or inclinations
do not indicate a professional ca
reer.
Among projects cited by Neil-
herger as potential projects for
Youth Conservation Corps mem
bers were construction of forest ac
cess roads and traits, improve
ment of young timber stands by
thinning, planting of seedlings on
hare lands, stabilization of eroding
stream banks by hand - planting,
building of picnic facilities, ec-
lion of earth dams to crei.e up
stream reservoirs, rc-sceding of
deteriorated ranee lands, renuild
ing of game cover: protection of

Basin Water
But May Hold
The 1959 Irrigation water supply I
outlook for the Klamath Basin is
below normal but should be suffi
cient for a good season, primarily
because of good stored water sup
plies, according to a report re
leased today by W. T. Frost, snow
survey supervisor for U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Soil Conser
vation Service and Oregon Agricul
tural Experiment Station.
Water content of the mountain
snow-cover is about half normal.
In a normal winter there is usu
ally about 55 per cent of the total
winter's snow-pack on the ground
by February 1. This year, howev
er, the snow accumulation to date
is only 26 per cent of a normal
winter's accumulation.
It is extremely unlikely that fu
ture snow storms will "make up"
the present shortage of snow-cover
in the Klamath Basin.
The mountain soil-mantle is only
partially wet and will require some
snow-melt water to "prime" it.
Total water stored in Upper
Klamath Lake and the Lost River
reservoirs of Gerber and Clear
Lake is 31 per cent of normal

Titan Rocket
Opens New
Generation
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
The United Slates has launched
its second generation missile pro
gram with the debut of the pow
erful Titan.
The new war rocket, shaped like
a huge bullet, performed smooth
ly on a 220-milc limited range
flight Friday after failing to fly
on two previous attempts. The Air
Force said the launching was high
ly successful.
The blastoff of the intercontinen
tal range ballistic missile signaled
the start of an accelerated drive
to produce advanced missiles su
perior to the present weapons in
the U.S. arsenal.
Titan was developed as a follow-
on series to the present Atlas
which already has logged a 4'j
Ion orbiting satellite and one tri
umph over intercontinental range.
Some estimates place the Tilan
range capability at 9,000 miles.
Still to come is the solid fuel
Minuteman 1CBM and various oth
er so-called sophisticated missiies
which the experts say will help
close the gap with the Soviets in
the space race.
The Titan's backblast shattered
several remote controlled tracking
cameras near the launching pad
The. gold-tinted rocket weighs
110-tons. The range was short and
the mission basic on this tirst test
flight. As soon as the missile left
the launcher, 90 per cent of the
test objectives were accomplished.
it was learned.
These included testing ground
support equipment, the launch
controls and the performance of
Ihe first-stage propulsion system
The second stage was a dummy
It carried several thousand gal
lons of water for ballast in place
01 liquid fuel.
One year from now the project's
scientists hope to have Titan
ready for immediate retaliation
action. The missile will be poised
in underground launching sites re
maimng almost invulnerable to en
emy counterattack.
The Titan's improvement over
Atlas feature less weight with
more power and flexibility, rocket
experts say. The two-engine pro
pulsion system, developed by the
Aerojet-General Corp.. is less
complex and reportedly generates
more than the 3SO.00O-pound Atlas
thrust.
Supply Low.
For Season
for February 1. Many small res
ervoirs and stock ponds are still
not filled.
Inflow to Upper Klamath Lakel
for the six summer months April
through September is forecast at
90 per cent of normal. Gerber and
Clear Lake can expect an inflow
about 25 per cent normal for the
same period. The summer flow of
Sprague River and Williamson Riv
er is forecast at about 90 per cent
of normal.
Small streams heading in low
elevations will have only a very
short flow this season.
Statewide, Oregon's water sup
ply outlook for the spring and sum
mer months of 1959 is extremely
poor except where adequate res
ervoir facilities are in opera
tion. The mountain snow-pack is
extremely short of water even at
high elevations. Reservoired water
supplies continue to gain from
heavy mid-winter runolf and are
well above normal. Summer
streamflow is expected to range
from 25 to 103 per cent of normal.
The next report on snow sur
veys and water supply conditions
will be issued on March 8, 1959.

11 Citizenship Awards
By LAMAR HOOVER
The presentation of 11 Outstand
ing Citizenship Awards was a
highlight of Thursday evening's
sixth annual meeting and awards
banquet of the Klamath County
United Fund, held at the Willard
Hotel and attended by about 100
persons.
Paul Cruikshank, chairman of
Ihe awards committee of the 1359
United Fund-Red Cross drive,
was in charge of the presenta
tion. The awards were handed out
by Carolyn Hurley, the 12-year-
old girl who in November under
went a delicate heart operation
made possible by a state-wide
blood-gathering effort of the Red
Cross.
The employes of seven estab
lishments were receiving Out
standing Citizenship Awards, first
presented last year, for the sec
ond time. This group included em
ployes of J. W. Kerns Company,
whose award was accepted by
Rodney Larson, and of Riverside
School, represented by Mrs. Eu
genia McCoy. Giving at both of
these establishments totaled
sum equal to the giving of one
hour's pay per month for 12
months by all employes. The prin
cipal requirement for these
awards is that giving at an es
tablishment equal 65 per cent of
this sum.
The other second year winners
were employes of Peyton and
Company, represented by Herman
Barndt: Oregon Technical insli
tute, Jack Grewell; Medo-Land
Creamery, Leo Kamps; La-.
Pointe's, Ada Sproat: and East
Side ilectnc, Henry Tucker.

School, represented by Mrs. Ber
tha Hultman: Roosevelt School
Principal Lowell Kaup; Safeway
Eighth Street store, George Kirk-
patnek; and Big. Y Market, Mrs
Frances Wishart. '
Cruikshank particularly praised
the showing of the schools in the
1959 United Fund drive, pointing
out that the education division
headed by Assistant Superintend
ent Garry Robertson, was the only
division to go over its goal this
year. The awards chairman also
paid tribute to the energy of Rol
lin Cantrall, retiring president of
the United Fund ("I'm glad I

and to the "conscientiousness" of
Executive Secretary Rex Dye,
Cantrall presided over the meet
