Yanning had never lost his dread
of temperamental actresses. He
shook his head, not speaking. Trot-

If Miss Moves doesn't like my cast

This behavior voids her contract"
Myra began to trenlble. She sat
down because her knees would not
hold her. Yanning picked up pa
per weight. and seemed to be
studying it. Being entirely without
tact in the handling of his fellow
men, he hadn't the faintest notion
what to say. Myra waited for his
answer. Then she screamed.

FIRE DESTROYS HUTTON
SCHOOL HOUSE SATURDAY
Cause Of Blaze Undetermined ;
Children Attending At Crellin

Fire of undetermined origin COM
pletely destroyed the Hutton one-room
elementary school early last Saturday
morning.
Members of the Oakland Fire de-
partment were summoned about
o'clock but by the time they had made
the emile run to Hutton the building
was too far gone.
The school presumably had not been
occupied since Friday afternoon when
the pupils were dismissed. There was
no fire left in the stove.
Arrangements were made to trans
port the school children to Crellin
temporarily, where there was an extra
room in the school there.
Firemen Called Friday
Firemen were also called last Fri
day evening about o'clock to extin-
guish fue fire which had also spread
to nearby walls, in the Kildow proper
ty, corner of Second and Water streets,
occupied by the Shahan and Adams
families. Smoke spread through the
building causing inconvenience to the
occupants, but there was not much
damage resulting.
The department is calling peoples
attention to the state law regarding
the right of way of fire trucks, and
the regulations regarding citizens
following fire trucks to a fire, and run
ming over hose with their automobiles.

WIN CHURCH BASKETBALL
Go Into Tie For First Place After
Barely Winning Games Tuesday

The Methodists and Lutherans, Win
ners of Tuesday nights church bas-
ketball league games by narrow mar
gins, went into a tie for first place
honors for the second time this sea-
son.
The Lutherans eked out a victory
over the Episcopals in the closing min
utes of the game, 31-30, by field goal
by Spoerlein, who accounted for II
points. 1t was the only time through
out the entire battle that the Luther
ans were ahead. The Episcopals led 10
to IA at half-time,, but were gradually
overtaken in the final half. R. Wolfe
and Slaysman, with and 7 points, re-
spectively, led the Episcopal attack
The Methodist were trailing 81 at
the halfway mark, but in the nip-and-
tuck last half they finally pulled away
from the Catholics in the closing min
ute. Mason, H. Jones and Lohr stood
out in the offense for the Methodists.
McComas, high scorer for the Catho-
lies last week, was banished on per-
sonal fouls in the second half.
Both games were close throughout
and were exciting for the large crowd
present.
The Lutherans and Methodists will
meet next Thursday in the first game
at 1880, while the Catholics and Epis-
copals will play the second game of the
evening.

Varieties Of Weather During the
Present Week

The weeks weather has been of var
ious kinds, but on the whole it has
been considered a little above the av-
erage for February in moderation.
A storm from the east struck the
county early Sunday and about two
inches of snow fell. A driving wind
caused heavy drifting in the roadways,
with the temperature about four de-
grees below the freezing point.
Other than on last Friday morning
when the mercury took a sudden drop
to zero, there has been intervals Of
rain, snow, sleet and clear weather,
with the latter classification being the
least of the four.
