Three Suspects
Arrested at RcXfOrd

Sheriff Baney arrested three men
at Rexford ON Wednesday of last week
who were suspected of having been
involved in an attempted robbery and
later in a shooting affair with Night
Officer Powell at Whitefish. The
Pilot tells Of the affair there How
ever, local officers state that later
Investigations showed that a bullet
from the burglars gun did not pass
through the night officers hat as
stated in the news item. The Pilot
said:
Deliberate aim Of a burglar near
ly resulted in the death of Night
Officer Powell early Wednesday
morning. Had the shot, which was
fired from distance Of about 60
feet, been two or three inches lower
it would have hit him squarely in
the head. As it was, it passed thru
the crown of his hat
Policeman Powell was making his
regular night rounds. He had come
from the alley back of the Wonder
store and was crossing Central ave-
nue. toward the Texico service station
when one of the three burglars at
tempting to force entry to the sta
tion shot at him. He was back Of
the stone pillar at the corner Of the
Texaco lot, where Powell located him.
by the flash of his gun, and returned
the fire. The other two burglars
joined their companion in his attempt
to kill the officer and for time the
officer was the object of pistol bonn
bardment.
Powell shot several times at the
lookout man and is believed to have
hit him. He was seen to stumble as he
ran, and with the coming Of daylight
pool Of blood was found in an alley
south of the filling station.
Three suspects were taken off a
train at Rexford and brought back
here Wednesday night. One is now
in the city Jail and two are in the
county Jail. They told conflicting
stories when arrested, each of them
denying that he had ever been ir
lWhitefish. 1t has been learned, how
ever, that they were in the lobby
of the Union hotel here Tuesday
night at about 11:3U. They fit Tho

Officer Powell happened along jus
as the burglars were about to be

Town Team Defeats
Bonnefs Quintet

The first game of basketball on
the local floor by the Libby town
team, played last Saturday evening
with Bonners Ferry, proved victory
for the Libby aggregation with
score Of 20 to q. The Bonners quin-
tet were strong team, stronger on
offense than the locals but weaker
on defense, according to the judgment
Of Manager AL Peterson. The game
was fast and snappy throughout, with
Libby leading all the time but during
the greater part Of the game not by
much Of a lead. During the last quar-
ter, with two of Libby's best players
out on fouls, that lead was being cut
down quite steadily up to the closing
whistle. TIE result was that the game
was close throughout, which always
provides thrills and interest for the
fans.
Field goals were thrown by the
Libby bunch as follows: Burpee 5,
sRnurette g.. Byers 2, Scovil Book
man and Hughes, each /. Burpee,
Bockman and Hughes each scored
with free throws.
Substitutions were Shaurette for
Hughes, Hughes for Bockman, Scovil
for Burpee and Christie for Shau-
rette. Bockman and Burpee went out
because Of fouls.
/ Rev. Spaude, visiting here with
Rev. Pfotenhauer Of ST. Johns LutA-
aran church, referred the game to the
satisfaction of everyone and made il
fast and snappy. Rev. Spaude was
formerly basketball star during his
college days.
THE Bonners Ferry team was ac-
| ,ompaned by number of Bonners
fans. among whom were Mrs. Lotf
4 Bernheim and her five-piece orches
ira. The orchestra favored the basket
ball audience with number of pleas
ing selections, and between quarter
little Bryant Bernheim, clever lai
Of six or seven years, captivated tn
audience with q dance mixed up wit
handsprings, rolls and contortion feat
every move Of which was in perfec
time with the music. He is exeep
tionally clever at that work for la

so that I sit comfortably in the cor
ner, in the arms of the sofa.
The little window Is open, through
ii 7 see the familiar picture of the
street with the rising spire of the
church at the end. There are a
couple Of flowers on the table. Pen
holders, shell as a paper weight,
the inkwell-here nothing is
changed.
1t will be like this too, if I am
lucky, when the war is over and I
come back here for good. 1 will
sit here just like this and look at
my room and wait.
I feel excited; but 1 do not want
to be, for that is not right 1 want
that quiet rapture again. I want
to feel the same powerful, namelesS
urge that I used to feel when l
turned to my books.
The breath of desire that then
arose from the colored backs Of the
books shall fill me again, melt the
heavy, dead lump of lead that lies
somewhere in me and waken again
the impotence of the future, the
quick Joy in the world of thought,
it shall bring back again the lost
eagerness of my youth. I sit and
wait.
1t occurs to me that I must go
and see Kemmerich's mother; l
might visit Mittelsteadt too, ne
should be at the barracks. I look
out of the window; beyond the sober
picture of the street appears range
of hills, distant and light; it
changes to clear day in autumn,
and I sit by the fire with Kat and
Albert and eat potatoes baked in
their skins.
7 But l do not want to think Of
that, I-sweep it away. The room
shall speak, 1t must catch me up
and hold me, I want to feel that I
belong here, I want to hearken and
know when 1 go back to the front
that the war will sink down, be
drowned utterly In the great home
coming tide, know that it will then
be past for ever, and not gnaW us
continually, that it will have none
but an outward power over us.
The backs of the books stand in
rows. 1 know them all still, re-
member arranging them in order.
I implore them with my eyes: Speak
to me-take me up-take me, Life
of my Youth-you who are carefree,
beautiful-receive me again
I wait, I wait.
