M. and Gene Nosier, Mrs. Birdie Skeels, Mrs. Mary Gage, of Coquille, and Mrs. A. T. Morrison. He was born in Coquille but left here while a small boy. The following is the daily newspaper account of the affair in last Sunday’s paper: Riverton and Leneve school dis tricts, Saturday, voted to consolidate according to reports from the dis tricts. The vote was unanimous. An official count will be made by the District Boundary Board when the ballots with poll and tally scheets are received. If the vote is found to be favorable the new consolidation will be declared and will go into effect June 17th. ? Riverton was already a consolidated district since several schools had many yean ago gone together to form same. Leneve had for several years sus pended school and transported them to Riverton. . | Undersheriff Clyde Knowles an nounced Saturday that John Ord, held in jail for the “human torch" slaying of Hale Nosier and the wounding of Mrs. Nosier, had signed a full con fession. Nosier was burned to death after being shot by a man who in vaded his home south of Tacoma. Mrs. Myra Nosier, 39, a bride of less than a day, was given a bare chance of survival Saturday as the aftermath of a night during which the bridegroom, Hale R. Nosier, 56, was shot and his kerosene-soaked clothes set fire. The bride married Friday, was given blood transfusions thia morning and physicians said she was “holding her own.” Mrs. Nosier was shot through the abdomen and severely beaten over the head with a stick of cordwood when she tried to snuff her flaming husband with a rug.' King Pomeroy, 50, who crawled from the Nosler's blazing home after being knocked unconscious with a ÿoker, was reported recovering at a Tacmoa hospital. Pierce county officers arersted John Ord, 42, Tacoma city fireman, and held him for investigation on the strength of dramatic accusations by Mrs. Nosier and Pomeroy that he had shot Nosier, soaked hismgbd^ with kerosene and set it afire, later shoot ing Mrs. Nosier and beating Pomeroy. Officers received their first word of the tragedy when Ord brought Mrs. Nosier, near death, to a hospital here. He was held. A few minutes later, Mrs. Nosier, told she was about to die, dictated a statement accusing him of the slaying. 4 . ■ ■ New Service Inaugurated ■r ■MUHR W-.; Matkat A- I « Presents REFRIGERATED LOCKERS 4 Four North Bayside schools will vote on the matter of consolidation on March 9, at 7:30.
