apparent failure to direct an effective

The commissioners had practically
completed their work on plan for
border patrol when the Villistas struck.

troops with General Pershing's forces
in patrolling the border and was about
ready for submission to Washington and
Mexico City.
The Villa raid itself did not alter the

There has been no indication that this

raised the question as TO whether Car

promises.
The whole matter will be threshed out

LOVE MAKES
BREAK AND IS DEAD
Jumped For the Brush On
Way to Flax Field and Is
Shot by Two Guards

Earl G.. Love, convict, was shot and
killed this morning while gang wa,
being taken to the Russell place on
Howell Prairie, where the last of the
states crop of flax is being pulled.
AS the public generally understands,
the prisoners engaged in pulling the
states flax are conveyed each morning
from the penitentiary to the flax fields
in au auto truck, followed by guards in
an automobile.
The gang to which Love belonged left
the prison this morning at $3.50 o 'clock
in charge of Guard Bradford
About five miles out on the Silver
ton road, where the Swartz sawmill
once stood, Pudding river is crossed by
covered bridge. Brush grows well
up to the ends of this bridge, and it
was evidently Love s plan to jump from
the truck and get under cover of the
brush before the guards emerged from
the bridge.
At any rate he made q break as the
truck emerged from the bridge. But he
was unable to hide himself before the
guards appeared, and two of them fired
at him.
Both shots took effect, one in the
neck, and the other in the shoulder.
Love was brought back to the prison,
and died in the hospital short time
later. The guards who fired the shots
were Leland 7. Murphy and p. G.
Heath.
Coroner Clough was notified by the
prison authorities, and after review
of the situation decided that no inquest
was necessary. The body will be held
until Monday pending the possible re-
ceipt of instructions from the dead
man 3 relatives Should no relatives OF
other interested parties be heard from
by that date the body will be cremated
according to law.
Love was received at the prison May
8, 1916, from Malheur county, to serve
q sentence of from three to 20 years fol
rape committed on the person of a
young girl He had also been indicted
at Baker for passing forged check,
He was native of Tennessee, "a years
old, and by profession a cook.
The killing of Love recalls the fact
that it was he who planned the break
OF about month ago, which plan was
discovered before it was put into execu
tion. The gang was at that time pull
ing flax near Turner, and the plan was
TO knock the driver of the truck on the
head while the long hill at the reform
school was being climbed. Then it was
thought the heavy truck would run back
onto the auto carrying the guards, and
lin the confusion a general getaway
could be made. When the plot was un
covered a butcher knife was found il
Loves possession.
! Warden Mimic has wired the sheriff
of Malheur county with a view of de
termining whether or not Love has any
relatives or friends who might be in
terested in his remains
