SALEM. Aug. 5. (United News)
Falling In his efforts to persuade
the oaflclals of Klamath county to
'wash their own dirty linen," as
he expreasea It, Gov. Pierce Wednes

state acent against all of wnom in
dlctmenta were returned by the
Klamath countr grand Jury last
week.
With the attorney general leaving
inriav nn his annual vacation. It is
not emected that any further action
will be taken in the matter until
hia rninrn in three weeks. The In
dicted officials are clamoring for
Immediate trial of the charges again
st them.

Levena Is charged with the lar
ceny of a revolver, which he Is al-
leced to have taken from a- Mexi
can In a liquor raid. Elliott is
under indictment in connection with
Ihe rilannaal of aeveral sacks of
sugar confiscated by him In a liquor
raid and McBrlde ia charged with
failure to make a return on a search
warrant.
I have Instructed the attorney
general to take charge of the pros
ecution of these cases and to go
the limit." the governor declared
Werinaariav. "I want no white
washing. If the men are guilty as
charged they should be. prosecuted
the same a any other violators oi
the law."
After 8 hours of frantic dig
ging by a volunteer crew of
scorns of men, Siman Barren
don, well known Sinkiyou gold
miner was rescued alive, many
feet below the surface after a
cave-in had imprisoned him,
and after hoDe was virtually
given up for his being brought
out alive.
Barrendoa was caught near the
end of a 600-foot tunnel at the
Crant Creek camn. near Yreka. Aa
he was returning to his work In the
mine, the sides suddenly caved In.
and burled htm beneath a. mass of
rock and quarts. Two companions
aaved their lives bv iumnlnr back
when they aaw the rock crumbling
from the sldea of the tunnel.
Emergency Call
Telephone calls were sent to all
sections of Siskiyou and Shasta coun
ties for aid In the rescue work.
It Is estimated that 80 tons of
earth were excavated In effecting
the rescue. When the rescue crew
reached within 10 feet of the man,
who was entombed in an air pocket
nnlv larse enouch for him .to. aland
In they shortened the circumference
of their, excavations, cutting a hole
only large enough for him to crawl
to safety.
Wife Greets Husband
Minnie B'arrendon. wife of the
doughty miner, who la one of the
oldest active gold diggera In this
section, led the rescue work and waa
the first to greet her husband with

aperture.

mltted to do ao, it Uj our belief
that the plana thua. announced

railroad development program that
would best serve the transportation
needs of this community and bring
about the fullest and most rapid
growth ot this region. Their plan
affords the most direct route to
practically all the markets wntca

those of agriculture, stock raising,

can be no short' or. more wbbio.o

This line Will shorten the distance

as fine a position as that enjoyed

These connections provide routes
over which tourists would most nat

are desirable visitors who often be

section which they visit, either as
Investors or residents.
Wa believe this development to be
so important to this section that it
should receive our earnest ana
hearty support. We believe that It
permission Is granted to Immediate
