Co. In Needed Work.


Co. In Needed Work.
klamath Falls-Klamath county and
the Meadow Lake sawmill company
are TO build macadam road from
klamath Falls to the top Of the noun
tain on the old Fort klamath road.
The work IL to be done on co-opera-
tive plan, and ultimately the city may
join in the combination.
The proposition made to the county
is that II the county will furnish the
rock crusher and one man to care for
the machine, the Meadow Lake Mill
company will haul the rock, place II on
the road, roll IL down and do all the
balance of the work in connection with
the building Of good roadbed without
other cost TO the county.
The Meadow Lake people are making
this offer for the reason that the coun-
ty has given them the privilege Of run
ming traction engine over this road
to haul the product Of the mill TO mar
ket in this city. The road leading out
Of town toward Fort klamath from the
city limits to the top Of the hill is one
of the worst pieces Of road in the
county during the winter season. In
the fat about q mile outside the city
this road gets hub deep In winter and
IL Is almost impossible to get through
Il with any kind Of rig during that
time Of the year.

v. 7. SANFORD KILLED
BY 7. R. RATCL|FF.
Fatal Termination of a
Difficulty Between Gil
mer County Citizens.

Mr.. w. T. Sanford, a prominent
citizen of Gilmer county was shot and
instantly killed last Thursday after
noon about l o'clock by Mr.. T R.
Ratcliff, also prominent citizen.
The immediate cause of the killing
was due, it is said, to a difficulty be-
tween Mr.. Sanford and Mr. Ratcliff's
son. 1t is stated that Mr.. Sanford
was endeavoring to take an ak away
from the boy, who is about seventeen
years old, and had threatened to kill
him with the ak when the father in
terfered, and demanded that he desist,
and in scuffle over pistol which
the father presented, Sanford was
instantly killed.
Ratcliff came in that night and
surrendered to the officers and is now
confined in the Jail in Gilmer County
at Ellijay. His committal trial was
held Wednesday. He has employed
Clay and Morris, of Marietta, and A.
N Edwards, of Ellijay, to represent
him.
