Klliutt, and the head tf that department of law haa Is sued an ultimatum to men who swear out complaints, aia.it war ranta, and then kiss the other check aad call It square. This la what happened in the case of Leo Popovich and Frank Be-: chilli, with Bechllll aa the com-: plalntnK witness and benefactor. It came out after little grilling' by deputy sheriffs when Popovich admitted slashing the four balloon tires and the spare, on Rechllll's car which was making a "buiness' trip to Klamath Falls from Itieher. While bondsmen were busy sign-' lng Popovlch's bond, the alleged tire-cutter walked out of the sher-' Ufa office and was not seen byt man nor his attorney until the next morning. In the meantime ouel of the bondsmen failed to qualify. I and It was all up with Popovleh'sj freedom. In the Interim ot arrest and the return of Popovich. he visited, Frank Bechllll and tor old-times' aake they agreed to patch up the quarrel, though they couldn't patch: up the tires, and Popovich agreed' to give Bechilli 25 for his night's! fun, providing the complaint was: dismissed. - But if Popovich and Bechilli think ! they can play horse with the district attorney's office and aronse the anger ot the law and the atate, they ' have another guess coming, re-' marked Elliott. "Bechilli ' filed that Information in court and if he uoesn't appear and verify It. I will prosecute him for perjury and he will meet with more trouble than he anticipated." Mated Elliott last night. ' Bechllll Is now in California feel ing secare about the whole business but the Oregon law is waxing strong. No time haa been set for Popovlcb's trial although he has pleaded not guilty before Justice R. A. Emmitt on the charge of "wanton destruc tion of automobile accessories." Chiloquin-Modoc Road Is Classed Market Highway i The Chiloquin-Modoc Mill road.i that stretch ot highway a mile and a quarter in length which runs be tween Chiloquin and Pine Ridge, was designated as a market road by by State Market Road Engineer 1. H. Scott ot Salem. Bids on the road, which will be surfaced this winter, have been opened . by the county court, al though no awards have been made. ; The contract will be awarded, how ever, upon the approval of the state highway commission, following the creation of the marEet road. That v section ot the county, al though one ot the shortest stretch es, hi under heavy travel condi tions aad there is a constant cara van of cars and trucks between Chiloquin and Pine Ridge. According to the county engin eer's office yesterday, the market road In time will be extended to Kirk. Mills Is Charged With Assault With Intent to Murder Charged with assault with In tent to kill. K. A.' Mills is held In the tounty jail In default ot bond, as the result ot a knife slashing fray at Malm early Sunday morn ing in which John Thomason was seriously Injured and several by stander wounded and battered. According to Joe Swindler, de puty sheriff and prohibition officer, two men whose names are unknown, were finhtlng In front of the Malln dance hall. Thomason, of MalinJ stepped In to halt the fight assist ed by Deputy Constable Maupin. U Chandler was also among the bystanders, too close to the fight. The fight was progressing and all efforts of the peace-makers were in vain when a car auddenly drove into the midst ot the battling throng and Mills jumped out. He held a knife and is said to have swung widly when he dashed from the car. His first attack, said Swindler, was against Chandler, but the knife failed to reach its mark. He then continued slashing toward Thom ason and stabbed him twice, once in the forearm and again on the wrist. The third effort. which would have proved fatal had not Thomason swereved back, barely slit Thomason s shirt above the heart and drew but little blood." Mills apparently vanished during the fracas but Swindler and Deputy Sheriff Stevenson continued a search of the dance hall and prem ises and arrested him an hour later. Mills has retained D. E. Vanden berg as attorney and will have his preliminary hearnlg Saturday at 2 o'clock. October 30. before Justice cf the Peace R. A. Emmitt.
