FORMER LOCAL BOXER
GOES DOWN IN SECOND
(By United Press)

Minneapolis, Dec. 10.-Many a
boxer has been knocked out, but
none SO much as "Wild" Bill Hart,
former Bemidji heavyweight. Ed.
Brady Of Matawan turned the trick
and did it well before the biggest
crowd Of fight fans Minneapolis has
sent out in years.
Hart went down in the second
round, and when they picked him he
started battling with the helpers.
"Help! Help" he cried, and tried to
climb the corner post. An hour later
in the dressing room he was still out
and wanted to know who he fought
and why.
Morris Schlaifer of Omaha defeat
ed Jack Perry Of Pittsburgh in the
headliner. Alvin Ryan of St. Paul
scored a technical knockout over
Billy Stearns Of Minneapolis, and
Norman Addison had shade over
Jack Sherman in six rounds.

THREE OF SIX ESCAPED
CONNECTS SURRENDER
(By United Press).

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 10.-Aftor
a futile all-night search, officials OF
the state penetentiary here today
were inclined to doubt the story Of
j. C. Howard, convict, that he had
killed Tom Slaughter, notorious oan-
dit, who escaped with six prisoners
early yesterday. Posses hunted the
woods, but no trace of the body nor
that of the negro convict, who How
ard said fell beside Slaughter, was
found. ~. .2-..., T.. .....
Prison officials feared that How
ards tale was only another of Slaugh-
ter's tricks. Howard with Jim, Wells
and Clifford Taylor negro members
of Slaughter's party, surrendered last
night at the home of Steve Arnumson,
farmer living near Benton. The two
negroes corroboratcd Towards story
that he shot Slaughter in the back
and then fired two more shots into
the body. -...-.
"My intention from the first was to
kill Slaughter. That was my only idea
in joining/the plan to escape" How
ard declared.

WORK ON HIGH SCHOOL :
IS ADVANCING RAPIDLY
New Structure Probably Will
Be Ready for Use When
Next Fall Term Opens

The mild winter weather OF the
past two weeks is working wonderful
| ly to the advantage Of the eonstruc-
ton of the new high school. Contrac-
tors Jackson e. Son are making eX-
ccllent progress and in a short time
with continued favorable conditions,
| will have the first story enclosed. The
| material for tho entrance mas been
| somewhat delayed in arriving and TINS
| prevents enclosing the front OF the
| first story and the cement floor will
be run for the second story in short
time.
The brick and terra Gotta work in
the walls of the first floor give good
| idea of the beautiful effect the COM
! bination will produce on the whole
school. The terra Gotta particularly is
of beautiful color and with the
! rich texture of the brick makes very
harmonious combination.
As soon as the first floor is enclosed
| it will be possible to heat the interior
much more easily and this will insure
continuous construction throughout
the winter even though the weather
may be more severe than it has been
SO far.
A large crew of men are working
on the structure, practically all Be-
midi men, and the large majority of
them are married men with families.
| This was ascertained by a personal
visit to the building by a representa-
tive of The Pioneer, as well as by in
formation given by the contractor.
If the work continues as favorably
through out the winter and next sum-
mer as it has during the fall, there
| should be no doubt but that the struc-
ture will be ready for use when the
| next fall term Of school opens.

tor of winning basketball fives.

strong nucleus of veterans, will finish
near the top when the curtain falls
in March.

form.
Jimmy Patterson, football captain
