DEPUTY SQUEEZES
HIS SHAPE INTO
'PEE-WEE' AUTO

A contrast of proportions marked
the first dealings of the Imperial
county sheriffs office with one OF
these pee-wee automobiles tn s
morning when the midget machine
was found, apparently abandoned,
on South Eighth street, where 1t
had bene for three days.
W. E. Heating and Elmer Waters,
deputy sheriffs. were sent to take
the car TO the sheriff's office, there
to be held in case its owner called.
Arriving. Heating and Waters went
into a huddle 10 determine who
should drive the half-pint auto
mobile back.
Finally Waters was selected. He
squeezed his more than 200 pounds
of rotund person behind the wheel,
and successfully piloted the car TO
the sheriffs office. where other
deputies Immediately began plying
him with questions regarding the
method he used TO get into the
midget car.
The supposedly abandoned car is
equipped with Texas license plates,
bearing the number H7S487.

refused TO accept warrants for $3.50
a month, issued by the school board,
end is in need of money. The at
torney asked McCrory to stipulate
that Harlan might cash the war
rants without prejudicing his case,
but the defense attorney would not
do so.
Utley then asked a court order
that Harlan's case would not be
prejudiced If he cashed the war
rants, but Judge Finney held he
could not issue such an order. He
therefor set the next hearing for
Monday, with a promise to render
his decision Wednesday.
Attorneys Riled
Heated personalities several times
threatened to enter into the ar
gumentS this morning, until the
judge commented that he does not
know anything about that
It was after McCrory refused to
enter into the stipulation Harlan
might cash his warrants that Ut
ley commented, "If that's the at
titude the board and Mr.. McCrory
are going TO take. we're going to
insist on immediate action in this
case"
The case is one in which Harlan,
formerly principal of TIL e Jasper
school, seeks reinstatement in that
position, and asks that the board
of trustees be directed to issue to
him warrants for the same sum
paid for his services during tn C
l930-3l school year.
The petition charges the board
of trustees. after demanding his res
ignation and having their demand
refused. attempted to force Harlan
to resign by cutting his salary to
less than that paid probationary
teachers. and assigning him to the
Americanization class room instead
of the Seventh and Eighth grades.
One contention of the demurrer
filed the board of trustees is
that Fl tlans action for reinstate-
ment s&ould be considered as a
separate case from that of his de-
mand for a salary allowance the
same as formerly paid him.
McCrory, in his arguments this
morning, contended that Harlan's
status as a. permanent teacher did
not insure his position as principal
of the school. or his right to teach
the Seventh and Eighth grades.
This is among the things to be de-
cidcd Wednesday by Judge Fnney.

This movement of the motor

A package received by The Asso-
