It's a huge problem. School men

Wild Bill Tucker Slates
Appearances In Roseburg
A "straight shooter" who doesn't
shoot straight, but is colorful
enough to make up for that slight
defection, has arrived in Rose
burg. Or hadn't you noticed?
John William (Wild Bill) Tuck
er, who looks like a reincarnate
Buffalo Bill Cody, is in town with
a collection of guns, vocal shen
anigans and briefcases full of
clippings.
He startles people. They stand
and hawk at him when he walks
down the street. This might be
due to the similarity of his ap
pearance to that of Buitaio Bill.
Or, it may be because of his long,
bar mustache, goatee and col
orful western garb.
Not the least impressive of his
attire is a silver chain nearly as
big as a binder, a chain which
stretches from one shirt pocket
to another. He carries no gun
on the street, that is.
Among his many press clippings
is one where he is quoted as say
ing he could beat Jesse James to
the draw. Wild Bill denies there's
any truth to that statement. "I
can't even shoot straight," he
says. "The other day a guy asked
me if I could hit a post 'standing
over there.' 'What post,' I said,
'I can't even see any.' "
Wild Bill will appear Friday
and Saturday nights at the Pine
Motor Theatre and Saturday after
noon at the Star Theatre. He
brought with him a collection of
100 guns and "the strongest lungs
in the world ' to display to the
theater .audiences.
Among the guns are two eold-
plated Winchester 73s. All the
weapons are the type used by gun
fighters and peace officers of the

Millions View
Sun's Eclipse
In East States
By JOE F. KANE
Associated Press Staff Writer
Millions of Americans got up
early Wednesday morning to
watch one of nature's greatest
spectacles of the skies a total
eclipse of the sun.
Early risers in perfect weather
turned out in everything from pa
jamas and dressing gowns to going-to-work
clothes.
Roof tops and high spots through
out the eclipse areas were crowded
with persons armed with a weird
assortment of eye protectors.
Although the total eclipse covered
only a 70-mile-wide strip through
Darts of five states as it headed
for India, partial 'eclipses were
seen in most sections of the na
tion except in the West.
Following advance warnings
about watching the eclipse with
the naked eye. one St. Paul family
of four watched from a hilltop
through a basement window that
had been completely smoked.
