A, „ MONTANA BURGLARY I WO b a s k e t b a l l Sheriff Keith Moore announced at Witchita, Kansas this week that two men were arrested there Sunday for the sheriff at Butte, Montana for questioning in a *10,000 cafe burgary December 7. The sheriff said the men identi fied as Joe i Buddy i Edwards 33, and Truman W. Dennis, 38, signed waivers Monday to return to Mon tana without extradition. The addresses of the men were not given m the Associated Press story. The pair will be held for question ing by agents of the federal bureau of investigation and Kansas bureau of lndentlcation in connection with crimes in Kansas and other west er states, the sheriff said. Moore said Edwards admitted serving time in the Nevada state peniteniary for armed robbery and also admitted “ jumping" bond in a grand larceny case at Pendleton, Oregon. Caldwell Named As Commissioner John L. Caldwell, Jr„ of Vale was appointed by the county court Wednesday as county commiss ioner, replacing John Medlin, who resignetf the first of the year. Mr. Caldwell, one of the owners of the Malheur Title and Abstract company, has been manager of the business lor several years. He took the oath of office Wednesday after Alva Goodell of Nyssa. ass uming the position of county com missioner for the first time, was sworn in. Caldwell’s selection was made by County Judge Irvin Trox- ell and Mr. Goodell. Mr. Caldwell will serve fo r two years. The court appointed Neil H off man as the third member of the ocunty fair board. Mr. Hoffman, manager of the Malheur experi mental area, was appointed to the board a year ago to take the place of William Ross and was re-app ointed Wednesday. Dismissal Of Cases Denied Circuit Judge M. A. Biggs, hear ing arguments of attorneys in the case of the state against Mrs. Gladys Broadhurst, overruled a mo tion by defense attorneys to dismiss two indictments charging her with murder in the first degree and with being an accessory after the fact in the’ death of her husband, Willis D. Broadhurst, who was killed near Jordan Valley. The Friday session marked the first time that Charles W. Swan, district attorney, had full charge of the case and his term had not yet officially begun even then. He took office as district attorney January 6. The session also marked the first appearance of Blaine Hallock of Baker, who has been retained to assist in the prosecu tion of Mrs. Broadhurst and her ex-chauffeur, Alvin Williams, who is charged with the murder of Broadhurst. Appointment of H all ock to assist in the two cases was authorized by the county court. E. Otis Smith, retiring as district attorney, has been handling the cases. At the Tuesday hearing, Mrs. Broadhurst pleaded innocent to the charge of first degree murder and to the charge of being an accessory after the fact in connec tion with the slaying . Judge Biggs postponed the mur der trial of Williams from February 3 to March 10 and said that If necessary the trial of Mrs. Broad hurst on the accessory charge woud be held following the W ill iams trial. The defense contended in the arguments that the two witnessesg who appeared before the grand Jury, Sergeant Walter Walker of the state police, and Charles W. Glenn, county sheriff, could have given to that body testimony based only on hearsay and therefore in- admissable as evidence, Williams, who signed a statement which law officers say relates in detail how he slew Broadhurst, did not testify before the grand Jury.

Games Hard Way Ontario And Burns Con tests Lost By Two And Three Points In two “ heart-breaker’’ games last week-end, the Nyssa Bulldogs l 06 t to the Ontario and Burns high school basketball teams on the Nys sa floor by three points and two points, respectively. The Ontario Tigers won the F ri day night game by a score of 36 to Burns won Saturday night by a 35 to 33 count. In the Ontario conference game. Nyssa took an early 6 to 3 lead and emerged from the quarter on the long end of a 12 to 4 count. The Bulldogs were looking nice with their fast ball handling. Nyssa slowed down in the second quarter after setting a terrific pace in the first canto and the Tigers cut the lead materially, drawing up to within four points of the Bulldogs, 11 to 15. Bellon, who sub stituted for Sutherland, scored a field goal and Herred made a foul, making the count 18 to 11. Iseri relieved Holcomb and Anderson went into the game for Church. The score at half-time was 18 to 16 for Nyssa. At the half, a group of grade school^ boys gave a tumbling dem onstration under the direction of Walter L. McPartland. The Bulldogs, looking considera bly superior to the visitors in hand ling the ball and in team work, kept from (jne to three points ahead during the first part of the third quarter, but they began los ing their zip and Ontario went ahead for the first time during the contest, 26 to 24. Church regis tered three fouls and then appear ed to be too cautious in guarding Echanis, star Ontario center, who was hard to guard without fouling as he drove in for a shot. With the guarding somewhat relaxed. Echanis piled up his points, which totaled 20 at the end of the con test. With Ontario leading at the op ening of the fourth quarter, Church gave Nyssa a 28-25 lead with an overhand shot and Kayano scored a field goal, making the score 28 to 25, but Echanis reduced the lead to one point on a shot from under the basket. With the capacity crowd in an uproar, Kayano made a foul shot and Claves hit the bucket for two points. Ontario switched into the lead again on a field goal, 20 to 29, Kayano put Nyssa ahead by one point and Echanis tied tile score at 31-31. With two minutes to play, Glaves scored a basket and Church knotted the count at 33 to 33. Chambers scored the win ning counter for Ontario with only seconds to go.

Nyssa Deposits Over 4 Million Eagles Divide Double-Header Arcadia Crows To Be Dynamited Money Is Given Nu-Acres Grange 10 Additional Elementary Rooms And Gymnasium Most Needed Prospects indicate that because of crowded conditions and inade quate facilities in the Nyssa school system, the district will be requir ed to provide some additional class room space before the opening of school next fall. D. A. Emerson, assistant state superintendent in charge o f high schools, who conducted a survey of the Nyssa district Monday and Tuesday, offered suggestions at a meeting of the school board and planning committee in the high school building Wednesday night as to how the problems might be overcome. The Nyssa grade school, one of the largest elementary schools in the state, has an overload of 136 pupils for the entire building or an average overload of 8 pupils for each of the 17 classrooms. The average attendance per room is 43. After pointing out the defic- iences o f the building, Dr. Emerson said that cement floors should be covered with asphalt tile, the science room should be improved so as to make scientific demon strations and some experimenta tion possible, two additional toilet rooms should be provided, space used for a shop should be further excavated and made more sanitary, hot water should be provided for lavatories and sinks installed in all classrooms, if possible, but es pecially in primary rooms, a music room should be provided and an activity room larger than an or dinary classroom should be arrang ed for physical activities for pri mary pupils not accommodated in the gymnasium. The district faces the prospect of educating 346 more pupils in the grade school and 200 more in the high school next year than are attending the two schools now. School officials announced that 185 young people of school age are not attending school as they should be under the state law, but the crowd ed condition in the schools makes it impractical to force them to att end classes. I f the increase in the school census is as much during the next year as It has been during the last year, the attendance in the Nyssa schools will Increase by 410 pupils, or to well over 1500. I f 200 pupils of the 410 enter the elementary school, the overload there will be 346 pupils, Instead of 136. Two hundred additional stu dents in the high school would increase the enrollment to 475 and Mr. Emerson estimates that the usable capacity of the building is 320. The most urgent need o f the Nyssa school system, Dr. Emerson said, is to provide 10 additional classrooms for the elementary school. The recommended maxi mum number of pupils per room Is 35, so that the 10 additional rooms would accommodate the anticipated 346 overload next year. Dr. Emerson said that “This may be an entirely new building on a new site as a separate unit with a continuation of the 8-4 plan of organization, that is eight grades In the elementary school and four in the high school, or "An addition of five rooms to the present elementary building (Continued on page two) ANGLING PROPOSALS WILL BE SUGGESTED Bernard Frost o f Nyssa and Vern Butler of Ontario rural route have been selected to represent the Mal heur Oame league at a meeting of the Oregon state game commission in Portland January 11. Frost and Butler will present recommendations of the league to the commission, which will consid er angling regulations at the meet ing.
