SCHOOL BOARD TO ARRANGE
 FOR HIGH SCHOOL COURSE

The Nenana School Board has under consideration the reorgan- ization of the Franklin K. Lane School so as to permit of the ex- pansion of instruction to include the first year of high school. If a sufficient number of pupils can be obtained to warrant the increased cost of conducting the school, an additional teacher will be employed and the advanced instruction will start immediately. At least six pupils are required.
 The question was considered at a meeting of the school board last night. with Territorial Commissioner of Education L. D. Henderson in attendance and ready to give his approval to the change.
 The board members appreciate the importance of combining high school instruction with the other studies, realizing that lack of such instruc- ton occasionally forces local stu dents to complete their studies in other towns and in the States, and that the inclusion of high school instruction would have a tendency not only to keep families in Nenana but also to attract new families here.

SLAYER OF POPULAR DEPUTY
 SHOT BY HOT SPRINGS POSSE

Sam Cote, unbalanced French Can adian who killed Deputy Marshal j. IL. Anders, at Hot Springs. on Thursday morning, paid the extreme penalty for his act later in the day, when he failed to heed the command of a posse to surrender. He re- treated to his cabin and was killed during the fusillade that followed.
 According to information received by Deputy Marshal James Hagan yesterday, Deputy finders went to the Cote place. about mile from Hot Springs, for the purpose of serving 8 warrant on Cote. He left town early in the morning and, not returning within a reasonable time. the commissioner and another man went to the Cote place 70 investi- gate. They found the body of the deputy marshal in potato patch, with bullet hole through the head. The pal had entered the mouth and went out through the back of the head. Not finding Cote, the two men returned to town and organized posse.
 When the posse arrived al the ranch, Cote was seen digging his potatoes not far from the prostrate body of his victim. He was called upon to surrender, but instead of doing so, he turned and ran for his house, presumably with the in tention Of making a stand Without awaiting further developments, the members of the posse opened fire on the house and examination later revealed the huddled form of Cote, dead on the floor.
 Miss Anne L. Mylius, who was engaged to be married to Deputy finders, left for Hot Springs early yesterday morning, in order that she might be with the aged mother of her fance, and the two ladies will escort the body to Fairbanks, where the burial will take place. Miss Mylius made the trip down river in the Billy Ford launch and it is believed they will come up in that boat, arriving here probably tomorrow, and completing the trip to Fairbanks by gascar.
 Deputy Marshal finders was an oldtime and highly respected resi- dent of Interior Alaska. He arrived in the Fairbanks district in the early days and was in business there for some time prior to his appointment as deputy marshal. He had been stationed in the Hot Springs district for a number of years and was one of the most widely known and popular men in the Interior. He was stationed tenn porarily in Nenana last summer.
 He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and the funeral will be held under the auspices of the
