Injunction Case Loses in Court.

The appeal for temporary inlunc-
:ion by Thomas Street, Albert John
son and Oscnr Mcintyre. for the cleo
tors Of the Revil}o and surrounding
school districts which was given Il
hearing before Judge Anderson in
Webster last Saturday afternoon was
denied.
The dispute comes from the fact
that d tier OF sections running east
and west along the south line of the
Albee Consolidated school district. is
CLAIMED to be a part of the Revillo
proposed district. Revillo authori-
ties made an appeal to the board OF
arbitration which consists OF the two
chairman from the Albee district and
the RevillO district and the county
superintendent, Miss johnson. The
board decided against the petition,
arguing that the boundaries are the
same nov as they always have been
and have not been changed. The
boundaries should have been changed
before the election upon the cOnsOli-
dated school proposition, according
10 Miss Johnson, as to split it now
would mean the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
whole district. The Revilio authori-
ties had ample time to make the petit
ton last summer, according to testi
mony given in court by Mr.. Engebret-
son and Mr.. Arp, who circulated the
petition for the vote upon the propo-
sition.
The action taken by the Revillo dis
trict undoubtedly had its effect upon
the vote OF the Albee district for the
bonding proposal which was voted
down tuesday by a majority OF four,
the vote being l25 to III. The Albee
district have decided to hold another
election within q short time however
and are not discouraged by the tenn.
porary set back.
The consolidation proposal was
voted upon on December Is, when the
vote in favor of the plans won by q
majority Of 70 per cent, which is 10
per cen ore than required by law.
There were 2l8 votes cast, l58 of
which were in favor Of the cOnsolida-
ton. On December 23rd q petition
was filled for the Revillo school elect
ors by Fl. f. Jones and Joseph Flaa
to the Albee Independent school dis
trict and Nettie S. Johnson. This
went before the board of arbitration
and was denied. The amount of ter
ritory involven in the dispute is about
> sections OF land. with a population
OF about lis and 81 electors. The APP
pea for the temporary injunction vas
then filed which was denied by Judge
Anderson. bnt left open for trial be-
cause of the fact that the plaintiffs de-
|clared that less than the required 25
per cen OF the electors necessary on
the petition we're not signers.
The controversy has caused a great
amount of dispute and rupture in the
southern part Of the county. Nheth-
er Of not kevillo is justified in max
ing the claim is overshadpwed by the
fact that they are doing . great in
jury and harm to the consolidated
school movement which Grant coun-
" is trying to introduce. Such 8
movement is one that deserves the en-
tire and undivided support OF The
county, and the effort 70 break up =
section OF the county which, has voted
and pasasd the proposltiQR III Al.

l saw there was no use In my insisf- ing further about the Dassageway. His mind was stubborniy made up that it could not exist. He was the only friend had in all the great city. and I must leave it to him to work the thing out in his own way.
 What about a lawyer?" I asked.
 Didn't the court assign you one?"
 "Yes, but he took 1t for granted that was guilty, so l got rid of him."
 "WelI. there ain't much a lawyer could do yet. I'll dig up one when we need him. Bail is not possible in 8 murder case. so there is nothing for you to do but to sit tight and take it as easy az you can. By the way. have you heard anything from old Gaston since you were arrested?"
 Not word" answered. T have not the least idea where he is or how to reach him."
 "Humph. that's funny" said Cor man abstractedly. "Good-by, I'll see you again tomorrow"
 He pounded on the cell door, and guard released him, leaving me alone to ponder over my plight, and espe- cially over his last question. What had he meant by it?
 Where was old Rufus Gaston?
 Once more suspicion of my aged relative shot through my brain. Was 1t possible that his was the master mind behind all this plotting? Cor man had insisted that the arch crim- inal behind Wick and the others must be some man of intellect. My great uncle Rufus had brains Out of a clear sky he had summoned me to live in the Granddeck and then had mys- teriously disappeared. Certainly he had had opportunities for knowing Wick and the telephone girl. Bar bara had recalled once having heard her father speak of him in disparag ing terms. Had it been he who was plotting against the Bradfords and had brought me into the case as scapegoat?
 Was old Rufus Gaston the master mind? Where was he?

Why We Vawn.

There are two unfailing signs of fatigue, says Dr. Halford Ross, the home office factory inspector for Lon don, England. When the mind is tined people gape, and when the body is tired they fidget There is an idea that gaping is catching" but this is only true If many people are tired together. Doctor Ross has watched children in London schools, and he finds that dun ing the morning if one gapes the oth- CTS do not follow suit, but towards the end Of the afternoon, when one gapes the others do the same. When in In- dia Doctor Ross stood one morning on the staircase of the Weeregal palace at Calcutta and watched men and women going up and down past statue of yawning man. Nobody gaped. TEat night there was q ball at the palace. and at five o'clock in the morning Doc tor Ross again stood by the statue and watched the people going home Ey- eryone gaped, and this was simply be- cause they were fatigued; when they were fresh, they could pass the yawn- ing figure with humanity.

CHANGES IN SPAIN
Nation Has Formed Liking for
 Outdoor Sports.
War Started the Movement, and It's Popularity Does Not Seem to Have Greatly Abated With
 Advent of Peace.


 While the war was absorbing the at- tention of the English, sport in gen. eral and polo and horse racing in pos ticuIar took refuge in Spain under Che protection of King Alfonso. It seems that the coming of peace and t1le re- turn of the sport to England and France has not found the Spaniards willing to let go of their new outdoor accomplishments. Rather, they have gone in for more of them. A writer in i the London Daily Mail, acting as cor respondent in Madrid, says:
 ''The duenna is doomed. Also the semi-orental system she represented.
 "The death warrant was signed when the senoritas of Madrid took to playing tennis and golf. to skiing in the Sierra and to travelling in side car.
 Hence also the collapse of the car nival as it used to be. It is an anti quated survival of the days when lad could meet lass without the duenna at only one short season in the year, and the mask was fondly supposed to con- ceal identity.
 ''In addition to taking up, more and more all the sports familiar elsewhere, the Madrilene ladies have one of their own; a sort of racquets played in jeu-de-paume (pelotaY court, but without the basketworlS cestus. They use tennis rackets and the courts are l always full
 Lately they have begun to steer their own cars, too, though that sport is not encouraged for them by the reckless speeds permitted in big Spanish cities.
 "A glance at any leading Madrid pa- per will show whither young male Spain is tending. Not only are golf courses arising outside all of the resi- dential cities, but other exotics like polo are increasingly popular with the gilt-edged youth. Madrid, Barcelona and other centers hum with motor traffic. and big sidecar outfits are all. over the place.
 "In one thing young Spain appears not to be changing-the modesty of iGI lId ltiS dpSACiiliOuSilSoo of her sons. A few days ago I made round of all the amusement places in Seville, beginning with sort of musical costume play fthe very tune full Song of Forgetfulness9 at thea ter at 30 p. Ill. and ending at a. m. in a workman's dance hall. The play was described as 'Vermouth,' but 1 the refreshments sold were chocolate and-eold water!
 After dinner I went to popular music hall where Spanish dances are exhibited, then to cheaper hall (en- trance fee about 5 eents), and finally to the dance hall. The only alcoholic refreshment l saw consumed was a glass which I ordered myself in order to see if one could get it at all. have | wandered about the workingmen's quarters of Madrid, Barcelona and Se- vile, and at night about the Albaicin of Granada. but I have yet to see a, drunken man, still less an intoxicated woman.
 '@I know that a great deal of wine is consumed on occasions, such, as bap- tfsns, but the hotel crawl is as little an amusement of young Spain as is the beer-soaEing which, characterized prewar Germany"

plan them. This whole thing is big affair, carefully planned out. It takes more brains than Wick ever dreamed of having to plant anony- nous notes and terrify people nearly out of their senses with mysterious whispers and then to steal the Brad- ford papers and the Gaston pearls and then when things get hot to have you already framed as the goat to blame things on"
 "T'hen you think my discharge from the office was part of the plot?"
 "Sure 1t was. You butted in on their blaclmail plans. and they want ed to get square with you, and young fellow out of work and discharged in disgrace is always an easy mark for suspicion"
 And was it part of the plot to blame Miss Lutan's murder on mel"
 T don't think so. The Lutan mur- der was an accident. Even the big gest crooks seldom deliberately plan murder. They're all Afraid of the chair. She came in and surprised some one of the gang in the apart ment. He had to sAo9t her to make his getaway. It was quick thinking on somebody's part after the murder to plant that gun in your rooms. That sort of scheming takes brains, and Wick hasn't got them"
 "Who was it, then?"
 "We've got to find," said German, speaking slowly and with emphasis, "the big crook that is back of all this the master-mind.
 "The master-mind," I echoed.
 "Yes," he said. there's a big crook ed brain somewhere that has been di- reeting the whole plot, and planning the actions of Wick and of the teIe- phone girl. and maybe of Claire Brad ford, too."
 q wonder if 1t could be her ex-hus- band. She told me- though, a few moments ago, that she had not heard of him for years, and she seemed to me to be telling the truth"
 'I don't think it was him." said German. "He was only chauffeur If he's in 1t at all, he's only one of the gang. He's not the master-mind.n
 q hope we can keep the Bradfords out of it altogether" 1 said. You see, German"
 q understand" he interrupted. 'I know how the land lies. You need not worry about that. If Claire Brad- ford had any part in the plot, you can bet she was forced into it and driven to do what she did. Have you seen her sister?"
 'No, and I hope she'll make no eff fort to see me. She mustn't. You'll see her, won't you?"
 Leave it to me- said the detective. "I'll manage to reach her without even her own family knowing any thing about 1t. I'll make her under stand that if she tries to see you or says anything, she'll only be damag- ing your case. Don't worry about her"
 'gThere's one thing, though" I said, that wish you could do."
 What's that?"
 "Can you find some way of getting to the Gaston apartment and explor- ing that secret passage and see where it leads?.
 He turned savagely on me.
 "Say, young fellow" he said, 'if I didn't know that you were innocent, I'd swear that you were dope fiend with this tale of q secret passage.

tragedy seemed thus far to have es- capped my mothers notice and the fact that Barbara still believed in my innocence and trusted me absolutely. A day or two after my arrest German had managed to see her and had told her that it was my wish that she keep entirely quiet her knowledge of the affair and that she should make no attempt whatever to communicate with me while I was in prison. He had brought back with him hastily penciled note which often in my cell l read and re-read:
 Dear Mir. Nelson:
