tricts burned shortly after
o'clock Thursday night when the
schools garage was destroyed by

The buses were valued at between
$1,000 and $500 each. There is
said to be possibility that three of
the number may be rebuilt and re-
paired. The garage was valued at
$1,000. and was said to be a total
loss. Buses and building were COW

Aestled with the reptile for pos

fully. The snake wouldn't give up
its partly devoured meal until
Heine hit upon a new idea.
Heine grabbed a bottle taken
along in case OF snake bite, and
forced some of the whisky down
the snakes throat The snake re-
leased the gopher and slithered
away. Heine went on fishing.
Half an hour later Heine was
immersed in his fishing, watching

his feet, until something slapped
his leg. 1t slapped again. and
