KANSAS CITY TOURISTS
HAVE COMPLETE OUTFIT
At Least 1000 Tourists Have
Used Diamond Point Park :,
so Far This Year !!

The popularity Of Diamond Point
continues undated as a camping
site for tourists. One of the most
complete tourist outfits, which has yet
arrived at the camp grounds, was
that of J. A. Cowan of Kansas City,
Mo. Mr.. Cowan has put regular
pullman compartment on top of a
Ford chassis and travels like a king.
The car is equipped with upper and
lower berths, each five feet wide and
seven feet long. The upholstered
backs of the seats of the car are let
down to form a mattress for the low
err berth. A table may also be set
up between the front and back seats
permitting six to eat at once. Run
ming water is provided from water
tank installed in the car and a
clothes closet adds to the convent
ence of the occupants. A wide, shall
low boat turned upside down fits on
the top ofthe car and is carried that
way. A. cook stove may be attach
ed to the front of the car and meals
cooked en- route, if desired. An Evin-
rude motor attachment for the boat
is also part of the equipment. The
entire outfit is the original scheme of
Mr.. Cowan, who is a professor of
music in the University of Missouri.
The weight of the chassis and body is
slightly over ton.
Since the opening Of the camping
grounds to tourists this summer,
more than 400 parties have registered
at the custodian's office. Each party
has had an average of at least four
people, which means that over 1000
persons have used the camping
grounds so far this season.

new EVIDENCE TODAY in
KENNEDY MURDER CASE
Garage Man Identifies BurcF
as Man Who Rented Car on \
.. Night of Murder
(By United Press)

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 9.---New
evidence continues to come to light
here today in the Kennedy murder
case. 1T piled up with astonishing
rapidity on the eve of the final in
quest of the coroner's jury.
A car is alleged to have been rent
ed by Arthur Burch before the aBev-
erly Glen murder was discovered.
Lynn Keith, a garage man who rent
ed the car, was taken to the county
Jail and he positively identified Burch
as the man who secured the machine.
Detectives declared that peculiar
tire tread on the machine was like
those of the trackS near Beverly
Glen, near where Kennedy was shot
to death.
"I rented the machine to this man.
who gave HIS name as Jones at 7
o'clock Friday evening" Keith said.
Burch retained his nerve and good
spirits today despite the apparently
rising tide of circumstantial evidence.
Madeline Oberchain, who figures
as the "woman in the case' was al
most completely unatrung.

ence f. Netzer, newly-elected clerk
of the Independent School District of
Bemidji, for a special school election
to be held on Thursday, August Is,
for the purpose of voting on another
proposed site for the new high school
building.
These notices have been posted as
the result of a petition, signed by
the required number of freeholders
and voters of the district and filed
with the clerk, requesting that a spe-
citl meeting and election be called to
vote on the following proposition:
*'Shall the school board Of indie
pendent School District of Bemidji
be authorized to acquire the follow
ing describea tract of land for the
site of the new high school to be
erected in said district, namely:
Commencing at point on the
north side of Fifteenth street and
west side of Belnidji avenue, thence
running north along the west side Of
Bemidjd avenue, to the southeast cor
ner Of the Fair Grounds property,
thence west along the south line of
said Fair Grounds property to the
y east side of Minnesota avenue extend
ed, thence south along the east side
of Minnesota avenue to the north side
of Fifteenth street, thence east along
the north side of Fifteenth street to

ming" r. r..

nSnI 81 f~! No ~ %111
Central school building on August
Is for the purpose Of voting upon the
proportion of authorizing the school
board to acquire such school site and
to erect the new high school build
ing thereon.
The polls will be opened at 4
o'clock and will remain open until
9 o'clock, according to- the notices.
This will be the fifth special election
to be held to determine upon a site
for the new high school building.
The first, when three sites were voted
upon, failing to show majority for
any one site. The second defeated
the Bi&by avenue site; the third the
Irvine avenue site. The fourth elec-
tion was for the purpose of voting on
the old school site, which carried by
a majority of 203.
The last vote was to erect the
school on the old site, while the pro-
visions in the coming election are
that the school board may acquire
the new site and erect the school
building thereon. According to the
provisions Of the laws regulating in
dependent school districts, whenever
more than one school site has been
selected, the school board may select
the site on which to erect the build
ing.
Interest i'm the coming election
promises to be keen and from all pre-
sent indications it is evident that the
vote will be much larger than has
been recorded at any previous spe-
cial election.
