Hale Nosier
Coquille Bom
The Halo Nosier, who was murder
ed near Tacoma last Friday night, was
the a cousin of S. 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.

Investigate Now'
247 O. S. C. Students Are
Married; 229 At Eugene
Married students now enrolled at
Oregon State college total 347, or
4J per cent of the entire enrollment,
according to a study being made in
the school of home economics at Ore
gon state college. The same study
shows 229 married students at the
University of Oregon, which is 8.3
per cent of the enrollment.
At the college 302 men and 48
women are continuing their edu
cation after marriage. Preliminary
reports show the average of the mar
ried men to be about 35, and of the
women 23. Married students are en
rolled fairly evenly throughout the
institution, although engineering and
home economics appear to have a
slight edge in numbers.
P. U. C. Collects

Total revenues in the year 1939 col
lected by the Public Utilities Com
missioner of Oregon amounted to 31,-
336,576.87. This is an increase of
3157,854.71 over 1938. This Is the
largest gross take tn the history of the
office and this increase of ten and
three-tenths per cent shown in these
’figures is being reflected in the 1940
collections, saig Commissioner Or
mond R. Bean, who predicts a banner
year for 1940.
Total expense of operating the de
partment for 1939 was 3290,178.77 as
against 3291,288.72 in 1938 or a de
crease in overall operating coat of
31,089.95. Thia showing was made,
commented Commisioner Bean, des
pite an enlarged personnel and new
activities. Among these was the is
suance of an annual report which was
the first printed report of the de
partment since 1932; also, the new di
vision relating to railroad regulation
entirely heeded by John H. Carkin,
former state tax commissioner.
In the motor transportation depart
ment the cost of administering the act
is 18.07 per cent as against 18.65 per
cent for 1938 a net decrease of 2.58
per cent.
,
Turnover to the secretary of state
from motor carrier collections for
permits, etc., was 3975,116.46, an all-
time high.
Personal service expenditures for
1939 in the motor transportation de
partment was 3193,389.97, which is
33,733.44 lees than the preceding year.
Personal service expenditures for the
P. U. C. fund, track scales inspection
fund, special appropriation and log
boom appropriation was 378,827.g3 for
1939, an increase of 35,639.43 caused
by the expenditure for revaluation of
utilities on an historical cost basis.
All personal services expenditures
for 1939 exceed that of 1938 by 31,-
068.98.
A number of economies were noted,
such as a reduction of travel expense
for the department; this dropped from
919,814.69 in 1938 to 915,121.13 in
1939, a reduction of 93,893.56.

payment of doctor and dentist bills,
with convenient monthly payment
over a year's period, is being inaugu
rated this week by the Coquille
branch of the First National Bank of
Portland, it ia announced by Harry

“Physicians and dentists have to
pay their bills like anyone else,” Mr.
Claterboe said, “but too frequently
they are the first to be called and the
last to be paid.
“We feel that no group of persons

operation than these men upon whom
we depend for the health of our com

announcing offers the patient the op
portunity to pay his doctor bills in
convenient monthly payments over a
year's time. At the same time he es
tablishes credit with the First Na

ing an automobile or financing the
