Fear Lynching
By Neighbors
Child Slayer

Greedy, Colo, July 27.-Will-
lam Riley Hill, arrested yester-
day in Sioux City, Iowa, in con-
nection with the murder near
Emo, Colo, of his ten year old
step daughter, Helen Maxine
Short, arrived here early this
morning in the custody of Sheriff
A. Il. Mormley, of Adams county,
and was lodged in the Weld coun-
ty jail. The girl was slain in Ad-
ans county, but Hill was brought
here for safe keeping.
Hill was taken from the train
at Fort Morgan, Colo, 7S miles
northeast of Denver and rushed
TO this city in an automobile un-
der heavy guard. He was to have
been taken into Denver but plans
were changed when rumors reach
ed here that feeling was running
high there.
The body of the girl, for whose
murder Hill is being held, was
found last Saturday in a ditch
near Emo. She had been weighted
down with pieces of iron. The
coroner said she had been thrown
into the ditch, which was filled
with water, alive.
Hill was brought to jail here in
leg irons. He appeared to be very
nervous and had nothing to say
except they got the wrong man."
Sheriff Gormley said a crowd
had formed al the station at Fort
Morgan when he arrived with
Hill, but the he had avoided
trouble by getting out of town |
Immediately.
Telephone messages from Brigh-
ton, near where the child's body !
was found, reported talk OF lynch
Ing him prevalent there.

Children Enjoy Junior
ChautalQ1ta; Timid Ones
Soon Forget Their Fear

Nearly hundred happy, laugh
ing children gather every morning
on the Willamette campus for an
, hour and quarter of supervised
, play and storytelling with the
junior chautauqua. They have. a
wonderful time, according to Mil
dred Bush, in charge OF the WORK,
who hopes to see the organization
OF some sort Of club or association
for the supervision of child play
in the city before she leaves Sa-
lem.
Miss Bush took a few minutes
off from her duties this morning to
tell about the work with the chill
dren, although she kept one eye on
her group of youthful proteges to
see that everything was going
well. What we want to do is
teach the children fair play and
sportsmanship," she said. Some
of the children, usually the ones
who have no brothers or sisters,
always want to do things first, but
most of them learn to take their
turn before long"
She hurried off to a little lad
who had tumbled in a wild race
and was whimpering in the midst
OF group OF his playmates, slip
ped an arm around the little fell
low and talked to him-just a
moment-until he dashed the tears
from his eyes with a chubby fist
and scampered away after an in
door baseball.
I'VE have a few cries the
director explained, but not many.
The worst trouble | am confronted
with is to find the right stories to
tell during the story hour-they
know SO many Of the good ones.
The story telling work is developed
through the Libraries to such an
extent that / do not lay so much
stress on 1t. But there is really a
need for the play-hour. Many of
Lhe children do not know how to .
play and stand aside timidly from /,
