"LTnder the authority invested in
Senate Bill 220, passed by the last
legislature, permitting school dis
tricts to vote 30 per cent of their
valuation instead of -the 5 per cent
before, everyone is taking advantage
of the new law," it was said. "Most
of the issues are in small numbers
but they are coming into this office
anywhere from 5 to 10 issues a day."
Mr. Marsh declared that approxi
mately $2,500,000 of the bonds issued

,Woultl-Be Train Wrecker Admits
Des Moines, la., Aug. 16. "I have
always wanted to wreck a train just
to see how the cars would pile up,"
was the startling confession of

attempting to wreck a Rock Island
passenger train.

toona, la., and who has, until his

section laborer for theRock Island,
confessed to Special Agent C. G.
Graham that on three separate oc
casions he has attempted to wreck
a train.

Island officials declare they have
solved a long series of unexplainable
and peculiar accidents that have oc
curred in the vicinity-of Altoona dat
ing back to last February.
"On February 14, I decided I
would like to wreck a train," Wal
ters told them, "and so I picked up
a solid iron follower plate two inches
thick and placed it on a switch frog
west of Altoona. 1 knew a passen
ger train was due at 9:42 and I
wanted to see it go off the tracks."
The passenger train crashed into
the iron plate and was forced to
stop, but was not derailed.
According to Special Officer Gra
ham, Walters never considered the
lives he had' endangered by his acts.
"I never gave that much thought,"
was his way of putting it.
Walters was brought to "Des
Moines Monday by the special
agents. He was charged with
malicious mischief .And arraigned be
fore Judge Sellers.

First-Nebraska
Infantry Moving
On to Canip Dodge
All Companies, Including
1,600 Men and Officers,
Ready to Start on Way to
Encampment.
Lincoln, Aug. 16. Units of the
First Nebraska infantry, Nebraska
National guard, composed of ap
proximately 1,600 men and officers,
will leave various parts of the state
today and tonight for Camp Dodge,
Des Moines, la., to begin tomorrow
their 14-day annual guard . encamp
ment. Adjutant General Herbert J.
Paul announced today that all com
panies bad reported readiness to
move, or were already on their way,
and that the required complement
of men had been obtained in each
unit.
The advanced guard of the organi
zation, a truck train carrying some
of the equipment, left here late Sun
day overland for the camp site, ril
tcen vehicles made up the train,
with a detail of officers and men to
prepare the camp for the guards
men that were to follow.
20 Units at Encampment.
Units of the regiment in the west
ern and more isolated regions of the
state entrained early today while
those' at Lincoln and the eastern
part of the state wiH join in the
movement tonight or early tomor
row, Adj. Gen. Paul said today. To
gether with a field hospital com
pany the number of units attending
the encampment number about 20.
"Through the aid of the federal
government, the Nebraska guards
are going to camp motorized for the
first time in its history," Adj. Gen.
Paul said. "The encampment this
year is also more elaborate and will
cost the government approximately
$I0P.000. The .National guard en
campments are financed splely by
the government."
Training Intensive.
Field service equipment, the same
as used in actual warfare is being
carried to the camp. Drill routine
and target practice, the latter to oc
cupy half the time of .the guards
men, has been specified by the
government and is similar to that
used in the training camps, during
the war. Regulations require that
the training be intensive and officers
and men alike are put on the pay
basis of actual army service.
"That part of the government
specifications outlining the training
to be given at the camp calling for
target practice made it feasible to
take the Nebraska guards to Camp
Dodge," Adj. Gen. Paul said.
No Target Range in State.
In explaining the encampment
being held out of the state: "No
where in Nebraska, with the pos
sible exception of northwestern Ne
braska, could a rifle and target range
be obtained, and then not to the
satisfaction of transportation and re
quirements." As the tables of organization do
not allow the Nebraska guard a
unit of field artillery for training
this year, the infantry encampment
will complete the guard training
from Nebraska, Adj. Gen. Paul
said. It is hoped, however, that the
new allocation will authorize re
cruiting of a heavy regiment of ar
tillery, which probably will be desig
nated as the ISSth Howitzer regi
ment.
