Years ago this creek, dry for the

rent swept through the city from the
southwest to the northeast, almost
diagonally through the city. At one
time however, it was scarcely noticed,
as there was plenty Of room for build

stream. Then the city Kegan I'd
grow and locations on the bank of
Can creek became valuable. As the
lots divided by the creek were need
ed, bitches at the side of the street
were provided to carry the flood wa
ters, and the lots filed. Streets were
bridgsd and while the creek was
disposed Of, it was an unsightly
thing.
Then came the paving. The block

NEW GRADE SCHOOL WILL
BE READY JANUARY IS
Will Probably Be Named The Larner
School After Former Teacher
Who Died In World War

The new grade school in the north
west part of the city will be ready
for occupancy about January 18th,
if nothing unexpected prevents.
The building is about finished and
all the furniture and fixtures are
here. The bell has been placed in the
tower and was tried out this morning
to note the tone.
1t is likely the new building will
bear the name of The Larner School
named in memory of Lee Larner a
former teacher in the city schools
who lost his life in the World War.
In talking to a member of the
Board of Directors this morning, the
Democrat was informed that while
it has not been officially named, the
Board discussed the matter and in
all probability the new building will

fourth Of the street. Agitation was
started to put the creek underground
diagonally across the two blocks
fronting on this street, and after
much quibbling, the matter was set
tied, and work of. building the con-
crete sewer was started. The wealth
er man was not friendly to the pro-
ject, but every possible day was made
to count, and within the next few
days nice level lots and a smooth
street ready for the paving, will be
the result.
The Improvement is great, and
leads to the conclusion that Of this
treatment is good for these blocks, it
is good for the entire district ira
versed by the creek. It is an unsightly
thing and just as fast as possible, it
should be given the same treatment
as the blocks on North Kansas. BY
doing this, many valuable lots will

We are informed that the work
cost considerably less than was esti-
mated, and as construction costs are
falling we are of the opinion that the
entire creek can soon be taken care,
of in like manner without hurting
anyone.

that the body of the personskilled was
the same as examined by the coroner s
physician; that there was no evidence

Several Causes Given.

While it has been definitely ascer-
tanned what caused the frenzied state
of mind of the cult known as the
Star Order Of Ethiopia, it is not yet
definitely known what incidents di-
rectly caused the actual shooting.
Stories told by actual eye witnesses
to the affray differ.
Sunday afternoon members of the
fraternity known as the "Star Order
9. Ethiopia" headed by its leader
styled as the 'Prince of Abyssinia,"
paraded south on State st and east
on 35th Street to the Entertainers
Hall. When the parade reached In
diana avenue, the members of the
cult assembled in front of the door
to the hall.
Bystanders who claim to be eye
witnesses to the affair claim that
white sailors standing around began
jeering at the ceremonies.
Others who claim to be eye wit
nesses allege that a white sailor as
sailed one of the paraders who was
wearing the Abyssinian flag and set
it on fire, whereupon the parader
retaliated by burning the American
flag, and the fight ensued.
The theory upon which the po-
lice are working runs as follows:
When the parade halted at the cor
ner of 35th street and Indiana ave.,
an American flag was produced by
Joseph Ferno, self-styled Abyssinian
Prince, who, wearing a bright blue
robe, a red fez, was riding black
horse. Ferno is said to have dis.
mounted from his horse, gathered
his followers around him, and began
setting fire to the American flag.
