Ape Boards
Cargo Ship
NORFOLK. Va. Ul - The U.S.
Navy and Nicky, a friendly Bar
bary ape, have each other up a
tree.
Nicky, destined for a Memphis
zoo, escaped from his cage- yes
terday and fled up the rigging of
the cargo ship Antares.
He was kept awake during the
night hours by the glare of spot
lights thrown on the 50-foot mast
How to get him down? The
Navy wished it knew.
"I think he'll come down, all
right," said Cmdr. J. F. Miller,
skipper of the Anlares. which is
tied up at a Norfolk Naval Base
pier. "Maybe we can lure him
down with bananas he seems to
like them. We'll just improvise as
we go.
When it became obvious that
Nicky wasn't going to be persuad
ed to come down, .Miller set
"monkey watch."
The "monkey watch" hoisted a
small heater into the rigging to
keep Nicky warm. It focused the
spotlight on him to be sure he
wouldn't crawl out a cargo boom
unnoticed.
Once a sailor succeeded in get
ting the three-foot-tall, 5-year-old
Nicky to descend and accept a
banana. But before a net could
be lowered over him, Nicky sped
back-up the , masb-with the ba
nana.
Nicky is a gift from the British
admiral commanding at Gibraltar
to the Memphis zoo. He was being
transferred from ':,. seagoing
cage to the smaller cage in which
he will be shipped to Memphis
when he got away.

Article Features
Collier Park
Collier State Park Logging Mu
scum, illustrated -with numerous
pictures, is featured in the De
cember 1957 issue of "Steam En
gines," a magazine dedicated to
men who work with steam. Ray
Campbell is the publisher.
The park, located on Highway
97, 35 miles north of Klamath
Falls, was visited by Mr. and Mrs
Campbell last summer when pic
tures of the museum logging
equipment were taken. The ac
companying text deals with the
steam engines used in the logging
industry over many years of
progress.
First use of steam in the logging
woods was 1884. Steam power saws
date back to the early 1900s.
Columbia Basin irrigation proi-
ct farm couple from Eltopia,
'.'ash,., was killed by two .33
aliber slugs which tore into her
eft chest.
She had ignored three demands
.0 throw down her gun.
The girl and a companion,
Janice Teel, also 16. of Pasco,
Wash., had been stopped as run
aways as they alighted from a
bus.
Patrolman Richard Stevens. 33,
told Police Chief Earl Phillips he
had no recourse but to shoot the
girl, whose gun posed a threat to
the some 50 persons crowded into
the small bus depot in this south
central Washington citv.
Phillips, Deputy Sheriff Harold
Guthrie and Mr. and Mrs. Francis
Callahan, operators of the bus
depot, ' all commended Stevens,
who joined the police force only
10 months ago.
Phillips said Stevens was "car
rying out my orders and acting in
defense of ms own lite. -Stevens
said he had tried to get
close to the girl, but failing that
had "acted as any police officer
would."
Stevens had been sent to Ihe bus
depot to. intercept Sandra and
Janice at the request of Frank
lin County officials.
He said he accosted them short
ly after they got off the bus to
stretch their legs. Suddenly, Stev
ens said, the Lingscheit girl
turned her back.
When she turned around, he
said, she was gripping a .22-cal-
iber automatic pistol in one hand
and fumbling with the safety
catch with her other hand.
Three times Stevens ordered her
to drop the weapon. hen his last
order went unheeded he drew his
own gun and shot her.
Janice, untouched, told Prosecu
tor Kay Munson she and Sandra,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. M.
Lingscheit, were on their way to
Portland. Janice, daughter of Air.
and Mrs. Stanley Teel of Reno.
Nev., has been living with an
aunt, Mrs. Ruth Sanduski, . at
Pasco, Wash.
The Teel girl said that many
times she and Sandra had prac
ticed with the gun, which she said
had belonged to an uncle of San
dra's who was now dead.
They took the gun with them,
she said, "to protect us."
Munson said an inquest would
be held in the near future. Phillips
ordered a complete investigation.
Empty Bus
Takes Plunge
REEDSPORT. Ore. Wt-A school
bus, which only a short time be
fore had been loaded with some
50 grade school pupils, plunged
over a high bank into a field near
here yesterday.
The bus driver. Harold An
drews. 55 the only occupant
was dead inside. He apparently
suffered a fatal heart seizure, said
Deputy Coroner Jack Ungar.
First reports, relayed here by
radio, that the bus had plunged
into nearby Smith River sent a
wave of panic through this South
ern Oregon coastal town. It was
thought that the children mignt
still have been aboard.
The children had been let off
earlier, however, and Andrews
was en route to pick up another
load when he was stricken.
