IJar Insinuated
It all happened during the trial
of William Bonfleld, charged with
and found innocent of, the posses
sion of intoxicating liquor. Horace
Manning, counsel for the defense,
had been cross-examining State Of
ficer L. U McBrlde and, according
to McBride's inferences, had be
come too pointed.
Suddenly, as Manning put a ques
tion to hltn, McBrlde leaped to his
feet.
Pulls Off Coat
"Do you mean to call me a Hart"
he demanded.
Just what Mr. Manning planned
to call the officer was not vouch
safed. Instead Manning rose leis
urely to his feet and prepared to
remove his glasses, take off his
coat and roll r-jf short sleeves. .
- It was at this Juncture that Judge
Kendall, with a peace dove in one
hand and a metaphorical club In
the other, concluded that, since the
party was being staged on his own
home grounds, he ought to be able
to say something about the rules.
' Hit Down! With Itcmilt
Furthermore he did. And with
results.
He declared that there were to
be no brawls, or rumors of brawls.
In his court.
Each of you will sit down and

said.
Messrs. McBrlde and Manning
sat.
'We will now continue this case,"
the Judge said quietly.

Walker's sedan and dashed into the Johnson gar
age, held up the night man and sped outward to

worth Kelly and James Willow, gathered strength
last night following a telephone call from Sheriff
Burt Hawkins to Secretary to the Governor Del

zell of the men who descended upon Klamath Falls
last night from "nowhere" it tallied accurately
with that of the desperadoes.

The Walton, .Wright company,
which recently filed articles of

have announced the rujovlng . of
their real estate offices from the
corner of Main and Sixth streets to
the White Pelican hotel.
Members of the firm are George
J. Walton and Roland Wrlgttt,
The rooms taken In he Pelican
are on the right of the entrance
and were formerly known as the

Southern Pacific Detective Chandler, in Klamath Falls,
was being awakened at an early hour this morning to get the
Southern Pacific telegraph wires clicking the alarm to smaller
points south that could not be reached by telephone.
Further indication, bearing out the conversation ' of the
three hold-ups to Hayes, while they were taking him but on
The Dalles-California highway, that "we've got to get over
the Green Springs mountain to the highway," despite the fact
that they were headed north on The Dalles-California high
way, was borne out, when H. J. Burns, F. W. Horstikodes and
H. Junge, of McCloud, pulled up in front of the Hall hotel
at three o'clock this morning.

We wondered what the big hurry was, at the time." This
information was given to Patrolmen Patterson and Mitchell
upon the McCloud men's arrival here. ' .
It is entirely plausible that the convicts would seek as an
avenue of escape from Oregon, the route on the east side of
the Cascades. It is a wild, sparsely settled country, off the
beaten path, where telegraph and telephone communication
is more difficult. .
Should the three be the ones sought in Salem, all of whom
are very desperate, and each of whom has declared he never
will be taken alive. k
The escape at Salem was made after two guards had
been killed and after "Oregon" Jones, notorious pal of Mur
ray's, had been shot to death by Guard John Davidson.
