! Waterloo.
Whether Waterloo will have a fine
new high school building that will be
adequate to the demands of the next
| twenty years or more in the east
school district will depend largely upon
public sentiment. The recent burning
of the Hawthorne school has made it
necessary to have another school in
Waterloo east. The school board mem
bers and many OF the. leading Ss;s;
men of the city have already reached
the conclusion that a modern high
school should be erected on the Haw-
thorne site and that now is the time
to do it. IThe school board has dis
cussed the question very thoroughly.
No. action was taken, but a special
committee Of which Ben Lichty is
chairman. was appointed to inveSti-
gate public sentiment on the matter, to
interview as many citizens as possible,
and to report their findings at the next
meeting. The finance committee was
also instructed to investigate ways and
means OF raising the necessary funds
| for erecting building. The committee
on public buildings received instruc-
tions to see that present needs and ac-
Communications for the pupils be cared
| for and that places be found for all the
students during the remainder of the
school year or until permanent pro-
vision is made.
Warrington.
| Late Sunday evening a horse thief
prominent farmer living five miles
south Of here on the Cascade road and
made his getaway with one of the
most valuable horses in the barn. The
horse was a fine black animal, four
years old and one Of which the Brights
were particularly fond. On Monday
morning when the theft was discovered
all telephone lines were put in use and
every way available was used to locate
the missing horse, but it was not I'M
til late Monday that word was re-
ceived here that horse answering the
description Of the stolen animal had
been sold on Saturday by man by
the name of Bill Hudson to II. 3.
Armstrong, druggist at Greeley. and
the horse was delivered at Greeley about
9 o'clock Monday morning by Hudson.
Early Tuesday morning Mr.. Bright
accompanied by one Of his sons went
to Greeley and had no trouble in gain
| ing possession of the horse. The ami
NAL had covered the distance OF over
thirty miles and it is most likely that
1t travelled during Sunday nights storm
as 1t showed signs of being driven
hard. Hudson on reaching Greeley de-
livered the horse and was paid 800
in cash by Armstrong and shortly
after took his leave for parts unknown.
It is said that he is supposed to have
a wife and family living somewhere in
Texas and he was working in the
J vicinity Of Monticello.
