who arrived in Bend Monday,
that when the Deschutes line
was built, John F. Stevens,
president of the S. P. & S., at
that time had selected Meto
lious as a division point. Meto
lious is about 40 miles' north
of Bend. Should the division
point be placed in Metolious,
as was indicated, this would
place Klamath Falls 196 miles
south of the division, and in
case the Oregon Trunk should
extend southward from Klam
ath Falls, that city would be
a logical point from a mileage
view, for a division, if not a
southern terminal alone.
Extension of the -Oregon Trunk
south from Bend will be started
just as soon as permission has been
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, Turner told the council.
In their conference with Turner
and Witchell, members of the city
were told that bids already had been
received from contractors for the
construction of the viaduct, or over
head crossing on Greenwood avenue.
With these bids already received,

that construction of the viaduct
would be started in the Immediate
future.

will meet representatives of that

Says New Line May Divert
Traffic North Without
Coming Into K. F.
At the chamber of commerce dir
ectors meeting yesterday noon W.
C. Dalton, a director and member
of the chamber railroad commit
tee, expressed serious misgivings as
to the desirability as a commun
ity benefactor, oft a railroad con
structed from . Klamath Falls east
to Lakeview such as the proposed
O. C. ft E. extension, since such
a road .according to Dalton, would
Invite the construction of a cut
off from a point in the upper
Williamson river over the divide
to Sprague river and thence east.
Growing out of such an arrange
ment, Dalton said, through traffic
would certainly never come through
Klamath Falls tout would be routed
from the Natron cut-off line at a
point on the big marsh across Into
the Sprague rhrer valley and thus
minimise the importance of the line
south into Klamath Falls thence
northeasterly back to Sprague river
over the present Strahorn line.
There would be a big saving in dis
tance east over euch a direct line
Dalton said. A number of the dir
ectors discounted any such possi
bility as was pointed out by Mr.
Dalton.
Situation Discovered ,
H. D. Mortenson said the sav
ing in distance would not amount
to over ten miles from such a cut
oft route. R. C. Groesbeck said
the O. C. ft E. branch from mile
post 43, northerly 15 miles to the
head of the Williamson river, as
had been pet itlonedMor -before the
Interstate commerce commission by
the Strahorn line, was meant only
for a feeder to the main line, to
reach Into a valuable body of tim
ber and not to connect on to the
main S. P. Eugene-Klamath line.
While there was no general dis
cussion of the Modoc Northern
line, from the trend of Mr. Dal
ton's remarks it was plainly evl,
dent that the Malin rancher favor

Klamath's eastern outlet.

PRETTY ISABELLE
TELLS OF LOVER
Shepherd Attorneys Fight
To Save Client From
Death Sentence
CHICAGO, June 16. Crystallis
ing the drama of the fihepherd case
in a few crowded hours of coldly
suppressed emotion, pretty 22-year-old
Isabella Pope has completed on
the witness stand, the story of her
love and loss of a millionaire Billy
McCllntock.
Pitted against the girl In the court
room scene was William Scott Stew
art, suave young criminal lawyer,
who is fighting to save William D.
Shepherd from a gallows death, on
the charge ot murdering Billy.
Two phases featured the day's
battle. One came in the reading ot
Ltouchlngly light-spirited lettejs the
kindergarten teacher had written
her young fiance, while he was a
student at Dartmouth college. The
letter spoke in endearing terms ot
Shepherd, and Stewart sought to
establish, through these pictures of
a happier day, that Shepherd and
his wife loved their wealthy ward,
and that that love was returned.
The second point established was
that Isabelle Pope has entered into
an agreement with Iowa relatives of
Billy's mother, under which she will
share the $1,000,000 McCllntock
fortune with them it Billy's will
leaving the estate to Shepherd, is
broken.
The three liquor-crazed men
who ran amuck near Olene
Monday night, with the result
that three men were more or
less seriously wounded, were
questioned by Acting District
Attorney Vandenberg yester
day, with a view- of linking
them up with the recent safe
blowings here.
As a result of the investiga
tion, it was learned that; the
youngest member of the party,
Charles Fuller, had ' a string
of prison records in the state
of Idaho. , '
Jim Burk, the man who. is
alleged to have shot Kendall,'
and who himself was wound
ed by one of Kendall's bullets,'
proved a tough customer to
question. ' . ;
"I'll kill you when I get out.
of this, and I'll shoot , up : a
couple of sheriffs too," Burk
said during the course of the
interrogation by Vandenberg.'
According to Vandenberg' the'
men; were not too drunk to re-;
member, even some of the mi
nutest details that led up to
the-isTifjtfting, and Ihe -eVehts'
which followed, were recalled..
He . also found , many flaws,
which were characterized as.
deliberate lies, by the three.
That the men were bootleggers
was established beyond doubt, when
one of the three confessed that he
had been peddling liquor for Indian,
Tom.
Charges of assault with a dan
gerous weapon, with intent to kill,
will be filed against the three: Ed
Fuller, Charles Fuller and Jim Burk,
according to Vandenberg. The case'
will go before tho present grand
Jury session. This charge carries a
maximum penalty of life imprison
ment. "
. Infection has set in in Burk's
wounded foot, which may prove ser
ious within the next few days. Ken
dall, who was operated on yesterday
morning, is improving.

ot fate transformed "Old Bob" from
