Floyd Collins Story
Coming To Reese

1t has only been a few years ago
when newspapers headlined and
blared forth, telling the world about
the misfortune of Floyd Collins be-
ing trapped in a cave, and the race
against time, to save this man from
a terrible death.
In "The Big Carnival" with the
champion, Kirk Douglas playing
his most dramatic role, Paramount
brings to the screen this powerful
story of the sO-called man-made
plight of Floyd Collins.
Few know the true story, the in
side story, where thousands came
from far and near to witness the
rescue.
"The Big Carnival which plays
the Reese Theatre, located at Har-
ringtOn, Sunday, Monday and Tues
day, August 26, q and %, gives to
you that story, that INTRIGUED a ma
ton, and today, affords to the
screen, a noutstanding epic of I'M
usual entertainment.

WGrbUrtOn Pleads
For Moral Leadership
Continued from first page)

According to Mr.. Warburton "sev-
eral alternatives were offered to the
Republican Party, ranging from
voluntary dissolution to the accep-
lance of the traditional role of the
minority party, that is, to serve as
the political auditor of the govern
ment by the Dartv in power.
Its satisfaction now comes when
traditional Democrats urge renun-
citation of the policies of the So
called Democratic Administration IN
power"
Mr.. WarburtOn suggested that the
Republican Party can contribute an
election based upon principles of
political philosophy rather than
specific issues. The contribution
must include. regardless of the
scornful reaction of the Democratic
Party, 2 return of moral integrity
into the government, he said.
The guest speaker was introduce

No never. There is no real
security in the world of today,
and there was no security in the
world of yesterday. Duty must
always teach us poverty, the guilt
of having something to do we
haven't yet done, rich or poor.
Yes, there we are, prisoners of
prosperity, and the prosperity turns
up toward sin. And why? Be-
cause having money makes man
more nervous than having virtue.
Yes. 'Tis so.
a man with money commits
more sins thar a man without
money. because he IS more frus-
trated and uncertain The simple

We were i'm error i'm reporting
Mr.. coberly TO be chairman (and
a member) of the Street Com
mittee. We are relieved to find
that he is NOT. Having listened
TO Mr.. CoberIy's monolooues and
recitations in the Council cham
ber, we had merely assumed that
ne was, at least, chairman. Such
assumption came as the result OF
Mr.. coberiy's flat refusal to con-
slider the application of a we'll
qualified man for the position of
Street Commissioner. II Mr.. CO.
berly is not a member of the
Street Committee, wherefore does
he have the right to reject All ap-
plicant?
In answer to Mr.. coberIy's
question, "How wrong can one
man be?", our only reaction is
that we cannot understand how
Mr.. coberIy could make such
statement about himself.
"Get it first-hut get ii right"
is an admirable quote. We
assume that Mr.. William RAN
dolph Hearst said it. Another ver-
sion might be: "Get it first-at
500 per month--but get it right
at S3o0!" Don't look now, Mr..
Coberly, but your slip is showing
and your halo is on backward!

Dear Sir:
How wrong can one man be?
I am not the chairman of the
street eommittee-in fact-I am
not even a member-Jim Shaw is
chairman and Laird and McShane
are the other members.
This council back in May 1850
discussed changing our regular
meeting night from Friday to
Thursday but found that this
would conflict with the Mayors
time at the factory. He did how
ever agree to meeting on Thurs
days during the months of Sep
tember, October and November
so that he and members of coun-
Gil could attend our football
games.
Besides myself as announcer
two other members of council
help out at our games Shaw
sells tickets and McShane has
charge of parking so you see the
Thursday night meetings were not
to accommodate me in particular

morrow.
Faith is a far taper, oh, my

Even then, oh my brother, it
will not be easy. For sometimes
you must sit under the burning

grabbed with the trunk He
thought for a moment. That tele-
phone tip that got me in the
toils-Who phoned it in?"
Prescott shook his head. We've
pounded that question, but we
still don't know. We think it was
Arents, since police discovery of
the body was vital to his black
mail scheme--But Arents kept
denying it under examination.
One thing, Leighton did confess to
attempting to murder the drunk
he'd hired to lug the trunk"
Prescott continued. you know
about the actress. That was Leigh
toms bright idea for getting you
off his trail, getting you confused
enough to call quits. You were
already onto Arents, and Leigh
ton figured it was only matter
of time before you got to him.
And then when you did catch up
with him, and snatched that pho
tograph from his files, Leighton
made a last attempt to win you
over before he decided to let
Rumely shut you up for keeps +"
Prescott smiled sourly. You
fooled me. ! was certain you'd
leap at the bribe last night"
Jigger said, I'm a big disap-
pointment to you all around.
What were the Knockout drops
for, if Leighton was hoping to
bribe me ?"
Insurance, in case you refused
to play ball. Rumely waiting
downstairs was Leighton's trump
card"
How did Leighton get to Rum
ely?"
He contacted Rumely through
Matthew Hunter, when it looked
as if you had a fair chance of
cracking the case" Prescott
flushed. They figured the police
were hopelessly in the dark, and
by eliminating you-they'd all be
safe. SO, first Rumely tried to
bribe you one morning when. we
spotted him entering and leaving
your rooming house" Prescott
stopped, looking at him keenly.
Jigger said, Don't bank on the
notion. / mailed five thousand
dollars back to Lewiston. Regis
tered mail, and witnessed by my
landlady."
Prescott continued. leighton
went into a huddle with Rumely
after you ran to Professor Scott
with that photograph of Susan
Hunter. Scott phoned us when
you left, and one of our men got
on Leighton's tail. Our man saw
him in a three hour confsb with
Runely."
Jigger repeated Three hours.?'

mo. The station put a recorded

busy setting the stage for your
visit. That's Leighton's statement,
the whole of it. And pretty COM

ing murdered Susan Hunter"
why would Leighton hold back
there, if he did the murder? He's

how
But not enought for the chair,
Leighton's smart; smart enough
TO confess as much as he has, and
also smart enough to try to stave
off a murder rap" Prescott s
hand made an abrupt cicle, Al
that, Leighton didn't confess toe
voluntarily, he lied pack of lies
at first, just as he lied to you last
night. 1t was a stunt that got
Leighton to open up at all.
"A stunt? 2"
I'VE showed a visitor into the
cell with him"
Jigger said diviningly, The
amnesiacp'
Prescott nodded. I'VE almost
had a dead suspect. The am
nesiac backed Leighton into a
corner, then went at him like a
mad dog. He had his teeth six
inches deep in Leighton's neck
before we pulled him away"
Jigger shuddered. "Leighton's
face brought the amnesiac back
to the night a bang on the head
sent him wandering"
Prescott said grimly, THE med
icine worked both ways
What murder motive do you
assume-for Leighton r.
"As he told you last night-A
girl he couldn't pull away from
a girl wacky enough to ruin his
career. and reputation, foul him
up with his wife and the Writers
fortune. For me, a man who could
mutilate a dead woman, is man
who wouldn't shy away from ac-
tual murder. And don't forget
Leighton did try to murder that
drunken derelict."
Jigger said, But Arents toe
could have done the murder. He
had motive enough: Jealousy, and
a frame from which he could milk
Leighton for all he was worth
Il doubt it," the police captain
said. "Arents was already black
mailing Leighton while the girl
was alive. So why do murder,
why take that risk? All Arents
had to do was simply hike the
ante"
Jigger said. How about Mat
thew Hunter then-Or Rumely,
acting for Hunter? Why do you
rule them out?
Prescott looked shrewdly at Jig
ger why didn't you tag Hunter
with the murder when you got to
him p
Because I'd driven Hunter to
Charlton Street less than five
minutes before the trunk came
out. And Hunter made a display
of himself, openly and publicly,
coming out of Lindy's Restaurant,
getting in and out of my cab. He
even took time out to threaten to
report me for reckless driving. I
couldn't believe that was the be-
havior of a man on his way to
dispose of corpse after murder" "
Jigger looked to Prescott. THAT
was my reason-What is yours ?"
Prescott said, The same. I

if YOU ruled out Matthew Hunter
and went after Leighton instead,
you had good enough reason for
me- 80.
Jigger said ironically, That's
high praise"
ITS common sense. I wasn't
letting my feeling about you blind
me to the fact that you knew
your stuff Prescott paused.
Since Leighton's statement, how
ever, I have a reason of my own
for ruling out Matthew Hunter"
Jigger said, Il think I can guess
it,"
GO ahead and guess it,"
THE girls clothing and effects.
Leighton told you he carted them
away. If true, that practically
eliminates Matthew Hunter. Why
would Hunter kill the girl as
Anne Brown, but leave a suitcase
full of Identification proving her
to be Susan Hunter"
Prescott nodded in grudging
approval. IF you weren't such an
anarchist, you might have made
a good detective Yes, it was that
same valise Leighton gave the ac-
tress to use in her masquerade.
Well, that's about it-Anything
you want to add?"
Jigger thought it over. The jig
saw was complete, but with one
square missing the murderer. A
final muder confession wrung
from Leighton, or falling that
evidence sufficient to convict him,
would satisfy the police and close
the case for them. But for him
self, there were still many un-
answered questions; questions
born of the very special thing
that had been his experience, and
not the secondhand activity of
Prescott and his staff.
Jigger said, I've nothing TO add
now, I guess. Except to say that
you haven't got the murder really
solved until you have an actual
confession, or a reasonable sub
stitute for one"
Prescott promised, Wen get

But not any old way, Prescott.
