was brought to the Minnesota hideout
Immediately after the kidnapping. Mr..
Hoover said this den was located near
lonely side road few miles north
Of Emily. which is in the center of
the Minnesota resort area.
The place was described as a shallow
wood frame dugout, implanted level
with the earth, about 6 feet deep, 6
feet wide and 10 feet long. Mr.. Hoo
yer said Ross was kept manacled in
the unheated dungeon for about Is
days.
Underwent Greal Suffering.
Indications were that the wealthy
Chicagoan had undergone great suf-
fering during his imprisonment both
from the cold and from scant rations.
Drawing on Anders' confession, Mr..
Hoover said the abductors-in an ef-
fort to hasten ransom payment and
to impress Mr.. Ross family that he
still was alive-mailed a photograph
of Ross reading Chicago newspaper
near the woods hiding place The
agents recovered the newspaper from
which story had been cut together
with ransom note.
The transfer to the Wisconsin cave
was made by automobile about Oc-
tober 9, continued the official version
Of the case. There Ross again was
manacled. principally with a chain,
one end Of which was buried in the
earth.
While the abductors operated out
Of this region, inhabited only by = few
trappers, the ransom was paid. Then,
said Mr.. Hoover, there was q dispute
over the sharing Of the loot.
"Anders and Gray clashed," said the
F. B. I. chief. land Anders knocked
Gray down and then shot him through
the head. Apparently Ross attempted
to intervene and also was knocked to
the ground and while struggling there
was shot through the head and killed"
Hoover said Anders then took Gray's
$4,000 share Of the $50,000 ransom,
along with most Of the accomplice's
clothing. covered the bodies with leaves
and twigs and headed back into Min
nesota to hide his $4,000 share In
the typewriter case.
Pressed about reported attempts to
link Anders with the Lindbergh baby
kidnapping. Hoover said: SO far Is
We know there Is no such connection"
Concerning the Arthur Fried dis
appearance at White Plains. N. Y, and
the kidnap-killing Of young Charles
Mattson at Tacoma. Wash, Hoover
replied: 1T is not my policy to make
any announcements relative to cases
that have not been solved.r

Work will start at once on the new
School c in district II, Windemere
township. The old building was de-
stroyed by fire last November. The
Windemere township school board
consists of Lynford Anderson, Nels
Anderson and S. Merle Pulling.
The application for a new school
building for the Currie district liz
south of Cloverdale, has been ap-
proved and work should start soon
H. A. Lyseth, Jessie Millhouse and
John M. Currie are members of the
school board.
An application will soon be SUBJ
mitted for a new school building for
district As, three miles northeast OF
Beroun. The present board consists
of Joe Cabak, Joe Mans and Alphonse
Baumchen.
Each of the above four WPA pro-
jects provides for modern $1,000 one
room rural school building at a local
cost of less than $4,000. Under the
present net income tax laws these
local costs or sponsors contributions
will be covered by state net income
tax aids without any need of local
levies for building purposes.
Indoor toilets and other improve
ments may be added to both of the
Park township, district 81, schools
this summer. The present board
members are Theodore c. Rudd,
Fredoline Martinek and Erick lack.
BY a vote of four to one, the
Willow River special school meeting
approved of the state and Federal
free gift of a much needed four
room addition to their high school.
The vote should have been one hum
dred percent for it. All high school
pupils and their parents in that large
rural high school area should feel
happy that work will soon start on
this WPA project, unless Congress
sional legislation prevents it.
Efforts are being made to get WPA
work projects for four-room graded
school at Sturgeon Lake, two-room
school at Rutledge and high school
gym-auditorium for Bruno. State
and Federal aids will cover the costs
so that no local levies for building
purposes will be necessary. There
are a dozen or more one-room school
buildings in Pine county that should
be replaced. If Federal money is to
be used to support relief labor, let's
have a rural school building spree
for Pine county.
