ing claims of the klamath Indian
tribe of Oregon, Judge Levi
Walker, representative of the
tribe, has returned to Klamath
Falls with word that the prospects
are bright that the members of
the tribe will receive full justice
on their claims.
although an adverse report
was made by Secretary Work of
the Department of the Interior on
the proposed bill to reimburse the
Indians" said Judge Walker,
Congress will undoubtedly pass
the bill and Senator McNary and
Congressman Sinnott are giving
their fullest support in order that
the klamath tribe may obtain
their rights"
Judge Walker is associated with
Charles S. Hood as representative
of the klamath tribe. Hood will
remain in Washington in the in
terests of the Indians until after
the close of the congressional ses-

Hard to Predict Outcome,

With six candidates for the
nomination for governor on the
Republican ticket and eight can
didates for the nomination for the
same Office on the Farmer-Labor
ticket, it is impossible to predict
the outcome with any assurance
of guessing right. 1t is possible
that tho Farmer.Labor winner for
governor will be q candidate who
could not possibly win if there
were less candidates in the field,
as the vote promises to be pretty
we'll divided amo1g at least four
candidates and the candidate who
secures as low as 25 per cent of
the votes stands a show of win
ming. While there are less candi-
dates for the Republican nomina-
ton for governor they will each
get votes enough so that a minority
of the votes is certain to be enough
to win. With SO many candidates

tions could have been made at a

tracts were closed for the big fleet

KenZie. 1T also affords the clear
proof that the business interests

I'VE predict that this year more
money will be spent by tourists in
cities at the head of the lakes than
will be paid for iron ore. lumber
or farming products in the north

Minnesota. This statement is
based on the indications that the
Indian pageant at Bayfield,, Wis,
in its first annual production will
draw from 100000 to 100000
visitors from the east, south and

the United States, a road border

perior and leading into a country

Year by year the Fairgrounds Of

I'VE have advertised steadily

sured of many thousands of tour

Last fall a trip was promised the

KILLED DURING
CLASS RUSH

Annapolis, Nd, May 3l---Thrown
overheard from the seawall at the
naval academy by classmates in an
annual frolic,' Midshipman Leicester
r. Smith,, Kent, Ohio, was killed
yesterday afternoon. 1t is believed
he was struck on the head by the
mast of small sail boat which
overturned just after he was thrown
in.
For years it has been the custom
for members of the SECOND class to
throw each other overheard on the
occasion of receiving their class
rings. This custom was being car
ried out in the usual way yesterday.
Young Smith was among the num-
Der who was thrown over with a
large number of others.
At the end of an hours futile ct.
fort to resuscitate him he was pro-
nounced dead.
A board of officers has been ap-
pointed by Admiral Wilson, superin-
tendent Of the academy, to investi-
gate the affair, which, however, is
regarded as purely accidental.

Young Loeb collapsed in faint

on Wabash street, as having come
there with Leopold on May 22-the
day after the killing and used the

Leopold, however, showed no dis
composure when he and Loeb were
taken to the cigar store which also
has lunch counter.
Lets eat he said, and ordered
a sandwich, pie and coffee.
Mr.. Grove declared the entire
kidnapping and killing had been exc
cuted according to carefully pre-
arranged plan.
The boy was killed in the rented
automobile on heavily travelled
street and within few blocks of the
spot where he was lured into the
car. He resisted them and was
struck on the head with the chisel

wardcd to the state pardon board by
Assistant States Attorney O. l.. Her
igstad Of Minot.
Mr. Herriestad, in expressing oppo-
sition to a pardon at this time, ex-
presses the belief that Merrill has
not been sufficiently punished for the
crime which he was implicated--th that
of Staying Ernest Thompson, Ward
county JailOr-but that he believes
Il life sentence is too severe and
therefore would recommend II com
mutation of it.
Mr.. Merrill, who is barely past his
majority in life, was sentenced to
life imprisonment from Ward county
four years ago, following the kill
ing Of Jailer Thompson, the actual
Staying of whom was done by Ward
McCrill, brother Of the youth. Tom
McCrill, the evidence showed, handed
gun thru the bars of the Jail to
his brother, who in etfecting an es-
cape, killed Thompson when the lat
ter attempted to intercept him. Ward
McCrill is also serving life SEN
tence in the state penitentiary.
The last session of the state legis-
lature enacted legislation which
would enable the younger McCrill to
make immediate application for a
pardon or communication of his SEN
tence, without being obliged to serve
the statutory period of time before
making such application.
