Leaves; Back Sat
W F, Tumor, of Portland, pres
ident of the Oregon Trunk rail
road, slipped quietly Into Klamath
Falls Sunday and quietly out the
samo evening. His unannounced ar
rival and sudden departure created
rumor after rumor about the city
yesterday that something big In the
way of announcement of now dev
elopment was Impending. Friends of
Turner, however, who talked with
him during his short stop here,
declare his visit was merely to look
over the situation hern In Klam
ath Falls and to Inspect the sur
veying camps. Turner was accom
panied by Chief Engineer A. J. Wlt
chell. The two drove over here
from Ashland. Turner will be
back !iere Saturday night with other
Hill executives.
So pleased with tho looks of the
Klamath country was Mr. Turnor,
that ho expressed his dentativo In
tention to spend his vacation this
summer in and about Klamath
Falls fishing and horseback riding,
the latter his favorite sport.
A charge of first degree
murder was placed against
Frank Way, shortly, before 5
p. m. yesterday, by the grand
jury, after that body devoted
the entire opening day of the
session to the weighing of evi
dence presented by Acting
District Attorney Vandenberg.
The charge is in connection
with the death of Tim Mur
phy, well known Klamath and
Lake county sheepman, whom,
it is alleged, Way killed either
with his fists or with the butt
of a revolver,' after the two
men had disagreed over the
ownership of a black sheep.
The action of tho grand jury is
said to havo been unanimous. Mem
bers of the grand jury are E. M.
Hammond, foreman; E. L. Hopkins,
Marshall Orr, Merle Kilgure, Walter
Short, F. 11. McCormack nd 11. S.
Wakefield. "
Just when Way will go to trial
is a matter of speculation, accord
ing to Circuit Judge Leavltt, who
has postponed the opening of this
term of his court frtWjlune.-l VunU.l
July 6, In order to permit Acting
District Attorney Vandenberg to fa
miliarize himself with evidence In
the many cases to come to trial.
Vandenberg only started acting in
the capacity of acting district attor
ney Saturday night, following the
resignation of W. P. Myers.
t'nc Draws Interest
Keen Interest will be manifested
in the murder trial of Way by both
his friends and those of the slain
man. The best legal talent In south
ern Oregon will be aligned on both
sides and a hard battle, like that of
tho John O'Sbea trial, In which Hor
ace Manning and C. F. Stone drew
a verdict of not guilty for their
defendant. These attorneys will op
pose each other in the Way case.
Way, when informed of the grand
jury's, action, accepted tho first de
gree murder chargo without comment.

Report Is That Half Dozen
More To Be Brought For
Character Defamation
A civil libel suit, was filed
in circuit court Monday after
noon byW: P. Myers, until last
week acting district attorney
of Klamath county, against E,
J. 'Murray and W. H. Perkins,
publisher and news editor, re
spectively, of the Evening Her
ald of this city. The suit is
for $10,000, charging defama
tion of character. Only one
instance is cited in the suit.
Others will follow later.
The particular alleged de
faming story was one printed'
several months ago, headed:
"Somebody Blundered." In it
the acting district attorney is
accused of humilating a man
by false arrest, and wasting
the public's funds by trans
porting the man from Chico,
Calif.
It is Myers' contention that
William Ganong had not relin
quished office at the time this
alleged false arrest was made,
and that he knew nothing of
the matter at the time.

left arm and another deep wound in his leg; Jim Burke, an
alleged bootlegger, is in a nearby room with one of Kendall's
32-20 automatic bullets through a leg, and an unknown passer
by is more or less seriously wounded from a deep flesh wound
in the knee, following a desperate gun battle between Sheriff.
Hawkins and Kendall on one side and three drunk and alleged
bootleggers on the other. The battle, In which Kendall and
Burk emptied their guns at each other, took place a mile this
side of Olene, between that town and the Shepherd ranch,
after the three crazed men had been reported terrorizing the
surrounding country between 7 and 8 o'clock.
.-. , HAWKINS NARROWLY ESCAPES
Sheriff Hawkins narrowly escaped being wounded, a
bullet having grazed his leg, tearing a hole in the trousers.
The three alleged bootleggers were Jim Burk, Ed Fuller and
his son, who live in Mill addition. The Ford car, driven by
the three men, was loaded with new automobile parts, be
lieved by officers to have been stolen.
Just what havoc has been wrought by the moonshine
crazed men beside shooting Kendall and the unknown passer
by, has not been definitely learned up until early this morning.
. . .. MEN FIRE ON WOMAN " . '
A woman passing by in a car was hailed by the men who
had ran their machine, a Ford, to the side of the road. - They.
attempted to shoot the woman as she passed by, firing a half
dozen shots at her. At the nearest farm house the woman
sent an emergency telephone call to the sheriff's office, and
hung up the receiver before anyone could learn her name or
where she was calling from. Sheriff Hawkins and Deputy
Kendall left immeditely for the scene. '' ' '
Ten minutes later came another telephone call to the sher
iff's office from the Frank Corpning store at Olene, that F, O.
Poole was held up a half mile from Olene by three men, and
would await the arrival of officers at the store.
GUN BATTLE RAGES
i Reaching a dark place along the road, just a mile from
Olene, Hawkins and Kendall came upon the Ford, saw one
man in full sight and two others partially hidden behind their
car. As they came into full sight of the three, Kendall per
ceived Burk with a drawn .30 Luger automatic.
Kendall was forced to draw. "Stick 'em up!" were the
words of Kendall, but' Burk flashed back with a bullet that
went through Kendall's left arm near the shoulder, shattering
and breaking the bone.
"THEY'VE GOT ME, BURT"
"They've got me, Burt," cried Kendall, who though dadly
shocked and dazed, stayed on his feet and blazed into the
crazed Burk. All this time, young Fuller, from behind the
car, held Hawkins at bay at the point of a .45 caliber revolver.
The elder Fuller was unarmed.
The duel between Kendall and Burk continued. One of
Burk's bullets struck a rock, glanced up, hitting Kendall
square on the right shin, and tore a deep wound upward as
far as his knee cap. x -' ' :i
Kendall, with the last cartridge in his magazine, shot
Burk through the foot, and the wounded man fell over an
embankment, his gun dropping to the ground.
As young Fuller turned to see his comrade fall, Hawkins
slipped around to the other side of the car and overpowered,
young Fuller. He disarmed him and ran over beside the
wounded Burk and took his gun.
PASSERBY WOUNDED
. The passerby wounded had stopped and got out of his
machine to investigate when he heard the shots, and a stray
bullet from the Kendall-Burk duel struck him in the leg. He
left immediately in a machine, it is understood, and has not
been heard from up until 3 o'clock this morning.
A Klamath Falls-bound car stopped and brought Ken
dall, who was weak from loss of blood, and the pain of a
shattered arm, into the hospital. Sheriff Hawkins remained

Several times Burk attempted to get away, although he
had a bullet through his foot, which was bleeding profusely.
Tho elder Fuller was hostile and threatened to overpower
Hawkins, who used self control rather than wound any of
the alleged bootleggers.
KENDALL'S WOUNDS PAINFUL
Kendall's wife and child were immediately sent for. : No
bullets remained in his flesh. Dr. Warren Hunt dressed the
wound, cast the broken arm, and at three o'clock declared
