Hi-jackers, discovered as they
were escaping with a slot machine
on Grand street shortly after $500
o'clock this morning, ran down

attempted to prevent their get

arm, the sergeant was brought to

Grand street. He dashed to the
doorway but the thief had mean

car parked at the curb and, with
an accomplice at the wheel, was
starting to drive away.
Smashed Auto Window
The sergeant shouted for the
pair to stop but instead the driver
started the motor. The officer
broke open the car window with
his club in an attempt to grab
the driver but failed when the
driver set the car in motion and
deliberately attempted to run him
down.
Only by a quick backward step
was the sergeant able to keep
from going under the wheels of the
machine. The side of tho car
struck him as it swung away and
he was painfully hurt about the
leg and hip. The rear end of the
car hit his elbow, causing another
injury.

The second most interesting battle
in our parts is waging at the present

simian which the Countess Frasso

death of his beloved Toluca.
You remember Toluca-her name
was printed Tallulah and the local
world said Gary had named her after
the Bankhead. The Bankhead object
ed-aS any glamorous lady has alright
to do-so the smart-alecks who start
ed the story had to make a retraction
as to the origin of the monkeys name.
The story goes that the countess
was told that the monkey was dead.
The countess believed that tale until
she met Johnny Weissmuller recently
and learned that the monkey was
earning 500 day on the "Tarzan"
set at M.-G.-M.
When the countess approached the
fellow who had the monkey. he said
there was a bill of some 5000 owed
for the monkeys board and health
conditioning. Now, the Countess
Frasso is one grand girl and has fine
sense of humor. but she doesn't want
that sense of humor imposed upon

REMOVAL OF DR.. MEAD
SOON TO BE DEMANDED
Head of Irrigation Congress
Plans to Demand Custer Of
Reclamation Commissioner.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, February 23--George
W. Grebe, president OF the Federal
Irrigation Congress. announced last
night his intention to demand the re-
moval of DR.. Elwood Mead as Federal
reclamation commissioner.
Grebe, in a letter to Senator Borah,
Republican. Of Idaho, attributed to
Mead the order of Secretary Ickes
barring him from soliciting in the De-
partment of the Interior in behalf of
projects sponsored by the Irrigation
Congress He said he would demand
the removal "either by calling a spe-
cia1 meeting of the Federal Irrigation
Congress for that purpose or by ask
ing the member districts to pass reso-
lutions separately"
The congress, he said, represents
settlers on projects in % States. He
expressed belief ''Dr. Mead has nc
sympathy whatever with the settlers
on established projects. that his sole
interest is in new construction for the
purpose of keeping his organization
employed"

us for our "uncalled for jabs at Miss
Schreiner and Miss Van Dyke" in our
yesterdays column. Mr.. Gaylord is
very unhappy because he thinks that
we have offered these popular local
celebrities backhanded compliments.
Mr.. Gaylord is quite mistaken. We
are absolutely sincere in our wishes to
see Miss Schreiner on the stage, be-
Eeving her to have talents in that di-
rection which could be revealed with
great profit. We mentioned an Ibsen
play because that is a difficult first
assignment but one which we are
certain Miss Schreiner would make
the best Of Furthermore, Miss
Schreiner knows that we think that
and, in private, has admitted to us
that such ambitions do not diSpleaSe
her.
We were also sincere in our belief
that Miss Van Dyke would look well
in a blond wig in a Pierce Hall Play
ers play. The fact that she has no
aspirations to do so" does not neces-
sarily mean that she shouldn't. We
are sorry if Mr.. Gaylord really feels
the way he says he feels, Wis: Miss
Van Dykes unselfish efforts toward
helping the amateur aspirant should

she turns up corner OF her lip, Is,
unfortunately, too stiff to be more
than an averagely satisfying pulse
quickener.
THE Last Roundup" being the
last chapter in Zane Grey'S Border

the Arizona bad men to earth-and
as they turn up their toes that tune
which is featured in the "Follies" (and
everywhere else for that matter) and
is the title OF the film is turned on.
This gives the departing lads pleas
ant musical boost into poSterity, al
though if you've seen the "Fcllies" you
expect Willie Howard to sneak around
the corner at any given moment ana
sing the song himself
The film has some effective Western
scenery, an amusing scene in which
the young lady tries to take a bath
and some first-rate shooting and a
couple of bombs. We still think,
though, that it lacks the full-blooded-
ness of some of its Western
ancestors, and needs somebody with
more Drawn than a Randolph Scott.

that those who were still mapping on

who had played five shows yesterday

and who has to play five more today
at the Fox, and who had reached his

AS the story goes, and none OF the
principals tell the story to their init
mates in quite the same way, the hus-
band and the star were in conference
as to their future when the wife hap
pened along. They both knew the
wife was about to happen along, but
they hadn't quite talked out all the
details.
The wife had thing or two to say
about the whole matter. The ex-star
said her say in tone or two louder.
The comeback was fortissimo, and so
on, ad infinitum. Well, to make a
long story short, the handsome actor
just sat by and let the ladies wage
! war over him. The first shrapnel is
now grounded and the initial smoke
of battle blown away. But all enter
