Caleb Jones who formerly served
in the offices of district attorney of
Klamath county and one of the most
prominent lawyers In the Klamath
field has been appointed as special
prosecutor of E. L. Elliott In the
case of the State of Oregon vs. El

public office. ' The announcement
waa made yesterday by Judge A. L.
Leavitt.
, The hearing Is scheduled for Fri
day morning, September 25, before
Judge Percy R. Kelley of Salem,
who will preside during the case fol
lowing the filing of an affidavit of
prejudice by Elliott.
According to Mr. Jones he has
taken the case because he feels he
Ib conversant with the evidence, and
because he was instrumental in pre
senting the esse before the grand
Jury which indicted District Attorney
Elliott.
"I feel no hesitancy in accepting
the appointment," said Mr. Jones
yesterday, "as there is absolutely
nothing personal In it as far as I am
concerned. I can see no reason why
I should not handle the case,' as I
was appointed by tho court because.
I suppose, I am conversant with the
facts In the case, atid because I was
instrumental in bringing the fncts
before the graml jury which Indicted
Mr. Elliott."
Elliott is charged with malfeas
ance of office, alleged to have sold
for his own interests, sugar stolen
from the Mason Ehrman company,
and later alleged to have been re

tion to 'come," Mr. Voye declared.
"We at first welcomed them. But
when announcement after announce
ment came from the Southern Pac
ific of rail extension here, we be
gan to analyze. Contrary to re
ports that we were coerced Into the
backing of the Southern Pacific we
met together, analyzed the ettuatlon
and decided that the Southern Pac
ific program offered everything we
need. .
"Mr. Sproule m?ans what he says,
when he declares the S. P. program
will not be carried out If . the
Northern lines are permitted to en
ter. This new route east is going
to give ns a wonderful eastern
outleit, an outlet that will save
more shipping time from Klamath
Falls than any other road.
"Every . iblg public service busi

experience difficulty getting ad

Authorization of a fine new
l 120,000 American Legion
building, long delayed pending
financial arrangement, was
finally given by the county
court yesterday afternoon. The
building will be completed by

Klamath Has Snow

Arrest of Leo Popovich, for on
alleged hold-up In Oakland, October
1 in nt. war sntiKht yesterday by Paul
Bozame, who asserted to Assistant during the month of January, 1924.
District Attorney Wiest thnt a dia
mond stick pin, valued at between
$.15 and $40, lost by him in a street
hold-up in , Oakland, was found on
Popovich here several days ago.
Wiest Is withholding arrest pend
ing further Information from Oak
land. "I have lived in Klamath Falls
three years," declared Popovich to
The News last night. "Nearly every
one here knows me. I can prove,
definitely, that I was not in Oak
land, but In Klamath Falls, on the
date of the hold-up Bozame says
occurred.
"I bought the stick pin during
a card game, when one of the play
ers went broke and offered It for
sale. I paid S30 for It.
"If it Is Bozame' stickpin, he is
entitled to It. But he must Identify
it first. If he Identities It I'll charge
It up to hard luck on my part. But
so far as being prosecuted for hold
ing up Bozame, well, I can prove
conclusively I had nothing to do
with that."
Winter made his appearance
earlier this year than he has for
10 long winters, when snow fell
for the first time on Saturday
morning at an early hour.
Old man winter upset the dope
alright, for a look into the
wenther man's book shows that
In 1915 the snow fell earlier than
for some time, on October 18.
This record has not been passed
since then until yesterday.
House tops and sidewalks were
barely covered with snow, and
pedestrians out at an early hour
saw the town under a thin blanket
of white, which disappeared with
the first peep of old Sol over the
horlton.
Reports from Crater lake and
stops on the way to the various
lumber camps, are to the effect
thnt sovorul Inches of snow has
fallen there, which the cold night
air promises to freeze.
A precipitation of 1.07 Inches
of rain fell yesterday, according to
reports from tho office of the U.
S. reclamation service, and for the
month of September to dnte Klam
ath Falls hns experienced a rain
fall of 1.86 Inches of rain, sur
passing any records of the past 20
years.
' This Is just the time for Klamath
people who have wanted to see the
beautiful Crater snow sceneB to
make the trip without difficulty.
The park Is seldom open in time In
the early summer months to permit
seeing these scenic snow views, and
the early flakes this year will af
ford tho opportunity today.
