ARRESTED FOR
BURNING BARN
Woman and Two Boys
Face Arson Charge.

Mrs. Mary Wherry, OF this city,
and CLYDE Cribbins and Valley
Dexter. two 16-year-old boys were
arrested Monday and placed in the
county Jail charged with arson.
When arrested the boys made 6
full confession duplicating Mrs.
Wherry.
At about 1l:30 last Sunday even
ing, fire was discovered in a barn
near the Wherry residence, which
belonged to Bob Dexter.
While the barn was burning
the Cr;bb ms lad voluntarily went
to Marshal Walbridge and made
the statement that he (the boy)
could not see how the fire got
started because he had not been
ir there for a month.
This statement and the answers
which the lad gave to other ques-
tions aroused the suspicion of the
officers who arrested Young Crib
bins.
When arrested, the boy broke
down and made clean breast OF
the affair stating that he was
ASS ociated with Valley Dexter and
Mrs. Wherry.
When the Dexter lad was con-
fronted he also confessed telling a
similar story to that of the Crib
bins boy.
The story of the boys is that
they were urged to burn the build
ing by Mrs. Wherry. That the
woman went to her own woodshsd
and getting some pitch wood split
it up into kindling and gave it to
the boys.
After getting the kindllng the
boys dug hole under the barn
and touched the match which
caused the destruction of the prop
erty.
Mrs Wherry and the boys after
being arrested were placed in Jail.
They were all arraigned before
Justice Williams, Tuesday. Mrs.
Wherry.'s bond was fixed at 1000,
while the bonds of the boys were
placed at $500 each.
Mrs. Wherry put up cash bond
and was released. The boys being
unable to furnish bail are still in
fail.
The case will come up before
The Fgrand jury tomorrow at 10
o'clock in the morning.
Mrs. Wherry is sister of Bob
Dexter whose barn was burned,
and the Dexter boy is a nephew.

Morrow county was held last weel
at the public school building. I,
opened Wednesday morning, with
music under the direction of Mu.
eric Roberts, of the Fairvie "
school, and Miss Emma Boyd OF
the Heppner school.
The work in language, geog-
raphy, history and agriculture was
given bv Superintendent Robinson,
of Portland. His long experience
in institute work enabled him to
present some most helpful sug-
gestions to the teachers, who GER
tainly appreciated the work. On
Friday afternoon he gave an ex-
cellent and timely talk on "Beau-
tifying the School Room and
Grounds" Superintendent Rob-
inson certainly plans to make his
work helpful.
Prof. Reid of Heppper, dis
cussed arithmetic in a most prac-
tical way. His large experience
as teacher enables him to sort
ont the wheat from the chaff. His
discussions of spelling were most
timely. Spelling is receiving
more attention than it has for some
years. If the teachers profit by
Prof. Reid's suggestions, the work
in spelling will be improved. Prof
Reid has also offered some excel
lent suggestions upon school sani-
tatIon.
Miss Mabel Heller, of Heppner
also discussed history for a short
time, outlining briefly the essen
tials Of good history study.

explained his method of teaching
history by means of maps and
note books.
Miss Lillian Cochran discussed
civics, giving some excellent out,
lines, and showing how civics, his
tory and current events should be
taught together.
Superintendent Notson pre-
sented the subjects of reading and
and objective teaching. He in.
sisted that teachers should not lose
sight of the fact that true reading
is gathering thought from the
printed page, and that that should
be the thought which shapes the
method of teaching reading from
the primary grades up. He illus
trated the value Of objective teach
ing, and showed how much OBJ
Jectlve teaching NAV be done by
means of objects easily obtained.
Postmaster Smead discussed the
topic, the postal System and the
Public School," He gave the
teachers some valuable informa-
ton.
DR.. N. E. Winpard read paper
upon the topic, Eye Strain He
showed how the teacher may test
the eyes of pupils. He also dis
cussed adenoids, briefly.
The records of the institute were
kept by Prof. R. B. Wilcox Of
Lexington.
The evening sessions were held
at the NJ. E. church. On Wednes-
lay evening, Superintendent Rob-
nson delivered a lecture upon the
subject, progress and the Test of
Educational standards" He dis 1
,ussed the subject in an able and, /
1t the same time entertaining man
ler. Superintendent Robinson is
close student and deep thinker :
lpon educational topics. On Thurs
lay evening, Superintendent Not
,on delivered an address upon the
subject, "The Kind of a Teacher
