It was a week ago, ' the wbtte

the Clauson bov. Thev fottnd it

Lakes Box company and, getting
under way, started for the open
country. ;
Misfortune befall them, however,
when they sot about mils and
a half beyond thtoer form, Clau
son, be said last night, waa driving
and suddenly Johnston reached for
and applied the emergency brake.
The automobile skidded, pitched
into a ditch and turned over.
Undaunted, the two boys called
for a towing ear, according to the
sheriffs office, and bad -tie ma
chine removed to a local garage.
The relatives ot young Mansion noti
fied officers that tho car bad been
stolen and, for a week. It had bees
searched for.
Disregards Probation
Yesterday Johnston attempted.
Sheriff Hawkins said, to pass a
check for J20.50 on K. B. Drew,
and Drew suspicious, turned bins
over to Hawkins. At noon the lad
promised faithfully to return at 2
o'clock and the sheriff allowed hint
to go.
While out on probation young
Johnston and Clauson passed a bo
gus check On the Baldwin Hard
ware company and purchased the
bunting rifle.
Two o'clock, however, found lad
mlsatng and the next time be was
taken Into custody It was by Dep
uty Sheriff Jim Hilton who saw
them, rifles oa their shoulders,
walking over the Link river bridge
and headed sway from town.
Kids' Btoricw Vary
Conflicting statements were made
to District Attorney Elliott by the
three boys the Johnston and Clauson-
tads insisting that the colored
boy was responsible for writing
the check, while he insisted that
the signature of Mrs, Orace John
ston, which appeared on the paper,
was not placed there by him.
Johnston, Elliot said, lives at
1736 Johnson avenue. The lad
said last night he had tried un
successfully to pass a check at the
Sugarman store that he might Pr"
chase a new pair of trousers.
Other than to ay that some ac
tion will In all probability be taken
against the juveniles, Elliott was
able to make no predlcltlon as to
the disposition of their cases.
The Southern Pacific- com
pany cannot carry into effect
its compreheiwive plan for a
new through main line to the
east, with unified system of
feeder lines centering here, if j
the business of this territory is
divided with another railroad
building a branch line from
the north into Klamath Falls.
This was stated definitely by
B. C, Dey, general attorney for
the Southern Pacific company
at Portland, appearing before
the Federated clubs of Klam
ath county here yesterday, ; j
Mr- Dey also said that there
is no justification for the as
sumption that the entry df the;
proposed branch line railroad
from Bend into Klamath Palls ;.
would result in a reduction off
rates or, an improvement ' of
service. "Quite the contrary
is true," he said. , " .
