HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
ARE MAKING UP TIME
Sixty-seven Who Cut Classes
to Go Coasting Are Paying
For Their Fun.
As a result of their playii e hookey
and going sledding early this week,
67 high school students are now do
ing penaoce and serving time to make
up for what they missed.
Principal Young imposed a fine of
four times the amount of time they
lost on the afternoon they were out.
It is figured that the amount of time
to be made up is nine hours. By do
ing half an hour a day after school
these 67 arc sentenced to 18 days of
remaining after school to make up
lessons. In lieu of complying with
this penalty the other alternative is
taking all of the final examinations.
There is considerable "boning" in
progress these days in different parts
of the high school. But considering
that snow only comes to Oregon once
in several years those receiving the
punishment say that the fun was
worth the trouble.
BENTON COUNTY DEPUTY RE
SENTS IMPLICATION OF LAXITY
Deputy Sheriff Clem States That
There Were No Traces of .
Ctiiswell Girl at House.
E. E Clem, deputy sheriff .-it Ben
ton county, takes exception to the
statement given out by an interviewer
to the Democrat last evening in which
it is inferred that he was lax in his
duties in pursuing the Chiswcll case
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Clem ad
mits having gone to the old farm
house down the Spring Hill road, and
to having come back and made his re
port to Chief of Police Catlin, and al
so to having gone back to the place.
But he denies that there were any
tracks in the snow and slush that
would warrant making the statement
that they were the foot prints of th:
girls sought. Mr. Clem says that
most of the tracks seen were made
by the officers themselves, and that
there was but one woman's track,
which was made by a relative of the
girl and admitted to have been made
by her. -
The fact that Myrtie Chisweil and
her escorts were never at this' place.
but 11 miles down the river exoner
ates Clem from any blame in not cap
turing the parties wanted and Je
lirves him from any ridicule at the
hands of his associates. ,

GABORIAN DRAMA TONIGHT
"THE WIDOW LE RANGE"
No more strange and thrilling story
was ever written than "The. Family
Stain," "adapted from'-"The-Widow
LeRogue," and produced by William
Fox. It is a mystery story of far more
than usual interest. In this . story,
F.mile Gaboriau gives greater play to
his fantastic mind than any i other .
tory that he ever wrote.
The Widow LeRogue, a strange wo
man who lived in a small community,
one morning is found murdered in her
home. The local police find the sit- .
uatioin too big for them to cope with,
whereupon an amateur detective, an
old old man of wealth named Talbert,
is sent for. and he begins to unravel
the mystery. Such a tangle of compli
cations as ensure are rarely, if ever.
found in any - detective story. The
cottage to the home of a powerful
man, who stands high in the govern
ment.' It appears that many years be
fore this, the high official, Commarin,
was in love with a beautiful girl. He
is forced, however, by his haughty
family, to marry a girl in his own sta
tion of life. A'child is born to the wo
man he wanted to marry and to his
own wife at almost the same time.
From here on the play works out
to a sure, swift climax, and the situa
tions that ensue are full of mystery
and deepest interest to the end. Those
who saw the play as it will appear fet
the Rolfe Theatre tonight, at San
Francisco during the fair say it is
one of the test they have yet seen.
