HILAND IS STILL FREE
Spink Say Marx Falied to

In His Court
At 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
Ing I will declare George H Hand's
bond forfeited and look to hi
bondsman for my S-WO, said Justice
R. '. Hpink of Cbiloquin lute last
night.
"I have dropped no case against
George Hiland, and cannot do ao
until he or his properly authorlied
attorney makes an appearance In
the court," said Justice R. E. Spink
of Chlloquin yesterday. It had been
atated that the local officers were
not looking for Hiland.
But the local officers are look
ing for Hiland. state, county and
city police officers combining In
the search and combing the town
for the fueitive. according to Jus
tice Spink. There Is a bench wnr
rnnt nut from Snink's court as well
as federal warrants which have not
as yet been placed In the bands of
officers.
Spink explained his aide of the
controversy with Attorney William
Marx, representing Hiland. ' Yes
terday Marx secured a peremptory
writ of mandamus from the circuit
court, setting forth that Justice
Spink had refused to let him see the
record of entries in the Hiland case
No Authority.
"I refused to recognize Marx for
the reason that be did not come Into
court with proper authority from HI
,
J
'And .until he
produces such authority in writing.
or nroduces Hiland in court, I snail
continue to refuse to let him appear
for Hllnnri.
"In a case where the interested
parties have already shown such
poor faith ln their dealings wun
the court I am taking no chances on
such a contingency as Hiland aome
day appearing and saying that Marx
had no authority to represent him.
It was my duty to let him remain In
the custody of the officers. I ex
tended him some consideration and
his present actions are the result.
This Is simply a case of an alleged
bootlegger trying to take a mean
advantage of the situation.
"Now. as to this talk that I set
that case for 4:30 o'clock in the
afternoon. Listen that la the t'me
I usually get ready to go home. The
was set for 10 0 clock In the
nnrnlne. and Hiland failed to ap
pear, and hid behind the fact that
I had permitted him to have his
liberty on bail on a check.' He
stopped payment on that check"

Itself In a dilemma. The final ac
tion was to wire both the state
health authorities and the stat
dairy Inspector, requesting them to
come to Klamath Falls and look
over the site offered the city by
Chester DeLap. ',:
Bnt this acUon was not takes
until vigorous protests had been
heard against the nse ot the DeLap

In thoopio'lon of 'the' cHy council;,
being located wlthon tour miles

Caustic language passed between
DeLap and Holliday over the pro
test. The opinion ot Dr. O. S. Newsom
was asked. He stated that a. pro-
nerlv ' conducted incinerator and
dumping ground would, not be la
