the present time.
In view of the above facts and
with the utmost consideration for the
welfare of the City Of Washburn ard
the Washburn Schools:
Be it resolved that the Common
Council for the information and
guidance Of the Washburn Board Of
Education, that your honorable body,
plan and estimate your school bud
get for the coming year on a basis
of $32,000.O0 which would appear to
be the maximum that the City
Council will be able to levy for
school purposes.
Be it further resolved that this
Council in case the present School
Board shall deem it advisable to
pay the outstanding Indebtedness of
approximately 100000 incurred BY
the preceding Board which indebt-
edness is illegal and void as a valid
claim against the City. Then in
that case the sum of 100000 must
be deducted from this $32,0O0.O0 es-
innate above mentioned leaving the
net sum available for your use the
coming School year to be $25000.00
by direct levy.
Be it understood by the Board of
Education of the City Of Washbmn
that the Mayor and City Council do
desire to give, aid and render every
assistance in their power to your
honorable body to the end that you
may give to the people of Washburn
the best Educational instruction and
Facilities in your power to render
under the conditions which your
Board finds itself and against which
your present Board was powerless to
prevent.

MAYNARD MYSTERY
BECOMES MORE DENSE

Word received from Ike Kemper,
county clerk Of Hot Springs county,
Ark, by Sheriff Applestill yesterday
afternoon to the effect that man
known as Charles Clarence Maynard
was married to Mary Lewis in that
city on July 28 of last year, led the
authorities here to believe that in
Clarence "Kid" Maynard they have
taken into custody second master
bluebeard who promises to in a small
way measure up with the famous
"Bluebeard Watson" now serving
time in San Quentin for the murder
of Nina Deloney, whose body was
found at Sugar Loaf early last year
When confronted by the evidence in
the hands of Deputy District Attorney
Don c. Bitter, he denied that he had
married Miss Lewis. 81 knew the
girl in Hot Springs" he said, "But I
was never married to her.
Nevertheless it was pointed cut by
Bitter, the records of the county clerk
show that the couple were married.
Later, on January 13, of this year,
Maynard married Mrs. Geneva |. Sum
n:ers in St. Louis who claims she has
husband living in that city. A wire
was received from Walter NJ. Langtrv,
TIE minister who is alleged to have
performed the ceremony, yesterday
stating that the records of the mar
riage was on file in the recorders Of
flee there.
The question now battling the au-
thorities is, "Where is Mrs. Mary
Maynard, nee Miss Mary Lewis?"

admitted bv Maynard. That they
were married is a public record

The rejected land lies near the
Colorado River, miles from the pro-
jected oil belt. A further request
was finally and definitely rejected.

indicated by the fact that the gov

favorable reports on applications

are favorable. 1t aids rather than
hinders those whose applications are
