with one blaze.
Twenty eight of the defendants are
business men and Mr. Johnston de.
clared that several of them are
wealthy.
Identity Is Guarded.
The identity of those who are to be
arrested was closely guarded lest at
tempts to leave the jurisdiction OF the
court might be made.
The warrants charge arson, burn
ing to defraud and conspiracy to de-
fraud The bonds were fixed at $40.-
600 for each of the arson defendants
against whom there is only one
charge. Where there is more than
one charge against a person in con
reCtiOn with the same fire the bonds
were made $4,000 for each additional
warrant
The complaints covered forty fires
The insurance involved is estimated
at 100000 Prosecutor Johnston de-

amounting to $4,000 had been col
lected. in a second, $35 900, and in
still another $4,000.
Warrants Where Losses Were Heavy
Warrants were issued only in those
cases where big losses were involved

fires will be issued soon
The warrants were sworn to by
Charles Furthman. a clerk in the
states attorneys office, upon informa-
ton and belief The confessions Of
Benjamin Fink and John DANES were
responsible for the issuance of the
complaints
Prosecutor Johnston's plans are to
take the men into custody and hold
them under bonds in order to allow
Il special grand jury time in which
to consider the arson cases. The as.
sistant states attorney asserted that
other warrants would follow.

Success to the Road Congress.
1t is calling attention to>a great
need.
When roads are bad the community
suffers.
More and better roads is the slogan
Of the Road Congress.
Improved roads make it possible to
consolidate the country schools.
Graded schools can be established
in the rural districts when roads are
good.
Instead OF the one-room, one-teach-
er school, wagons carry country chill
dren to the well-quipped central
school.
Bad roads are the chief obstacle to
the improvement of the rural schools,
which wait for road betterment.

snakes wicked teeth gave his hand a
severe gashing.
"And then began a battle to the
death up that mast The coolie got
out his clasp knife and as the snake
lunged down on him he would strike
out with the knife. The python was
not taking an chances with the knife,
for he seemed to know what 1t would
mean. But finally 500 got in a hard
cut with the knife and the big python
went wild with fury.
Il called to the coolie to come down
and he obeyed just in time. Hardly
had he descended the mast and
jumped to one side when all "a feet of
that writhing, striking python hit the
deck. The big reptile coiled and un-
coiied and struck about on all sides In
his desperateness.
Then the python suddenly started
toward the rail, pulled himself on top
and as 500 darted toward him in a

strictor went over the side We could
