    Ice Frolics to
Open Friday
Ice Frolics of 1949 will open
Friday night at the Salem Ice
arena. The show is brought back
by popular demand because of
the very popular showing of last
April. The show Willi run five
nights.
Producer-Director La Point
has decided to ice it again from
August 19 through August 23,
with a few refinements in vast
and settings.
Outstanding will be the fea
tured skating of versatile Vi
vian Hanson, star of many great
amateur ice carnivals and shows.
Comment among arena patrons
is that Salem is really in a pri
vilege class to have an instructor
of her calibre to teach here and
star in the local shows.
Also bolstering the cast is
Harvey Christenson, outstanding
for smooth and effortless skat
ing in both his solo work and in
syncro skating with Producer
La Point in their novel "Wait
ing for the Train."
Tickets which are a dollar, tax
included, are on sale at Quisen
berry's drug store, Court and
North Commercial, and can also
be bought at the box office each
night. Shows will start at 8:30
each night.
Former Texan s Are Jailed
As Result of Linn Feudin'
Albany, Aug. 17 Three former Texans were arraigned In
justice court Tuesday on charges growing out of a series of events
of early Sunday with a background of enmity resembling a
southern feud but without fatalities, involving nine or more per
sons all living on RFD No. 2 near the old Albany-Salem highway
Seburn Burns, Jr., Cecil,,
Burns, nis Droiner ana wiiiiam
Kerlee all pleaded not guilty to
assault charges and were bound
over to the circuit court grand
jury under $500 bond each.
All three, however, pleaded
guilty to misdemeanor charges
but Justice of the Peace Harlow
Weinrick postponed sentencing
them.
Seburn Burns pleaded guilty
to a charge of disorderly con
duct, Cecil Burns to a charge of
driving without having an oper
ator's license and Kerlee to a
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon, which he remarked, is
no crime in Texas.
According to information
from Deputy District Attorney
Courtney Johns, State Police
Sergeant Ernest Larios and State
Officer Kenneth Moore the story
of the altercation goes something
like this:
A Merle Irwin, Joe Blakely and
Sue Wennersten were returning
to their home on RFD No. 2
north of Millersburg from at
tending a motion picture show
and stopped en route at about 2
a.m. Sunday to see Irwin's moth
er, 'who was ill.
Shortly afterward Carol Ann
Wennersten, Ernest Argo and
Arthur Burris in Argo's car also
drove to the home of Mrs. Ir
win, and simultaneously a car
containing Seburn Burns, who
was driving, Cecil Burns and
Kerlee arrived at the scene.
The Burns brothers and Ker
lee left their car and went to
the Irwin car, making threats
of violence, its occupants charge,
with Kerlee indicating he had a
gun.
The Irwin car and that occu
pied by 'Sue Wennersten, Argo
and Burris maneuvered back to
the roadway, the officers were
told, and the Burns car pursued
Irwin northward first on the old
Salem road and then on the new
highway, f o r c i ng them into a
ditch a mile south of the Santi
am river bridge.
Then the Burns and Kerlee
took out after the other car and
chased it through the Dever
area.
Meanwhile Irwin called a
wrecker to extricate his car,
went to the home of Mrs. Mabel
Wennersten, mother of the two
girls,, armed themselves and lay
in wait for their alleged assail
ants, also calling state police.
Sergeant Larios and Officer
Moore responded and after
questioning Irwin, Blakeley and
Sue Wennersten were about to
leave when the Burns and Ker
lee drove up.
The officers stopped the new
ly arrived trio and found a
gun, owned by Kerlee, in the
glove compartment of the Burns
car. They arrested Kerlee on a
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon; Seburn Burns on a dis
orderly conduct charge and
nabbed Cecil Burns on a charge
of having no operator's license.
Cecil Burns broke away from
them, the officers said, and was
recaptured but not before he had
lugged Argo, who had previ
ously arrived on the scene.
All three were brought to the
Linn county jail where they
were still confined late Tuesday.
Judge Weinrick continued the
felony charges to give opportun
ity to the defendants to procure
legal counsel.
