BOYS SKELETON
FOUND IN CLOSED
| SCHOOL AIR We'll
Identified as Youth of 10,
Who Disappeared Dec
10, 1922 Uncle Be-
lieVes II an Accident

Muncie, Ind, July 10-(UP)-The
abandoned air shaft of Central high
school was identified almost con-
clusively to-day as that of Perlie
Guelsby, IS, who vanished after he
went to school December 16, 1922.
! Authorities said the boy either
had fallen into the shaft from the
second or third floor or had been
killed and his body hidden there to
lie undiscovered for more than 8
years.
Charles Cooper, an uncle with
whom Pearlie lived, looked at evil
dence found in the bottom of the
dark shaft and said he was con-
WINGED the victim was his nephew.
He said he recognized a pair of
heavy workshops and a jackknife
found near the skeleton as having
belonged to the youth.
"Perlie was carefree and happy
when he started out to school that
morning." Cooper said. He was
thinking of Christmas vacation only
few days away and the good times
| he could have hunting.
He didn't have any enemies that
knew of, and / don't believe any
body could have killed him. 1t must
have been an accident.
II worried for weeks about his
disappearance but finally became
convinced he had run away, despite
the fact that he seemed to be hap
py."
| Some of the Investigators. includ-
ing an assistant coroner. believed.
however, that the boy might have
been slain.
Four years ago school authorities
sealed up all entrances of the air
shaft, which extends upward about
rs feet from the basement. 1t was
closed because boys were found to
have used 1t as a place to smoke
forbidden cigarets.
II have the opinion that the boy
was killed" Deputy Coroner Henry
explanation is that he may have
fallen while standing on a ledge on
the second or third floors and
smoking.
Beside the body was found a
pocket knife, indicating the possible
ity that he may have been stabbed
to death. In addition, the victims
shoes had been removed and were
found some distance from the body"
| Inc boy s Skull was crushed as TX
from fall or heavy blow but phys
icians said it was possible he had re-
gained consciousness after the in
| jury was received.
| Perhaps, it was said, the youth
awoke in the dark, cool shaft during
time of day when the school
building was empty. His calls for
help would have been unheard and
he could have spent Saturday and
Sunday, or a longer period during
vacation time, shouting for help.
The pocket knife he may have
used in an attempt to make an
opening in the walls of the shaft. He
might have removed his shoes in an
attempt to climb out.
| In any event, he must have either
lost consciousness from his injuries
| or became weak from lack of food
and water before attention was at
f! tracted.

SCHOOL PROBLEMS 0..- ARE HEARD: MANY
 PARENTS AT MEETING

About 30 parents, youths, mem bers of the school faculty and the school board, met last even- ing in open discussion of school problems, primarily, for the pur- pose of solving some method by which deliberate acts of min or destruction of school proper ty, can be eliminated.
 A number of protests were pertaining to discipline, discrim- nation, course of studies and a charge directed against two members of the faculty who were declared to be unsuited to teach in the Seward school.
 The only trouble with the Sew aid school, said one in atten- dance, is with the average par- ent by lack of cooperation.
 The hob-nailed shoe or boot at school must go, and though this has been watched in the past, few slipped across the threshold of learning with the result certain floors have been deeply scored.
 w. C. Erwin, president of the school board, cond ucted the meeting with remarkable diplo- macy, marked with a keeh in sight of child-welfare and school problems Prior to adjournment MT Erwin was the recipient of congratulations and admiration for the manner in which he had handled a delicate subject.

Hegarty's boys didn't seem to

his greatness, roughed him up
badly, and kept him from even

the Carlisle Indians in 1912.
The game was remarkable in
many ways.
In the course of the game,
Pop Warner, the Indians
famed coach, was chased into
the grandstands by the referee.
"It was the first time that
Georgetown had run into a
team which employed so much
deception and trickery. The
reversed plays and other innO-
vatiOns of Warner, had us
completely buffaloed during the
first half and the Redskins
piled up a $50 lead.
Nothing daunted, we came
back to the dressing room and
Immediately our coach, DR..
