Another developmet of the tr’p, the officials said, was the discovery that police records concerning the hazing of Arthur Persinger, member of the 1921 Sophomore class, had been con- firmed. Records of Persinger’s hazing, the officials said, showed that he had been bound and tied head downward to the pilings of a pier, his face only a short {stance above the water.

Pearsons, mayor of Evanston, the officials said they were told, the records were changed to indicate that Persingsr had been bound to the pier tn a hori- zontal pos'tion. 4 “If conditions az described are cor- rect, there js no more chance of Mount having killed himself than there is for me to carry this building away on my back.” Assistant State's Attorney Jonas said in h's office at the criminal court building despite, the fact that Miss Doris Fuchs Mount’s friend has just testified that the student had threatened to commit Bulc'de. Afer questioning persons at Evans. ton, Coroner Wolff said hazing was the most likely theory with which to ‘explain Mount's death, “OWN YOUR OWN HOME’ SHOW TO BE UNIQUE AND UNUSUAL HERE Unique and unusun! features will lend attractions to the “Own Your Own Home” show to be staged at the Arkeon for three days begin: ning May 7, Mouse furnishings, a subject near to the heart of every matron, will bo among the articles featured in display boothy asd the sale of space, according to the com: mittee on arrangements, already assures the success of the enter: prise, which {s the first of its kind ever attempted here, ‘These exhib'ts will emphasize the esirability of home owne as against renting property, idea that the Realtors of the have an city heen premutenting for several years, The homa owner stands ready ta profit by improvements which may be lacking when a land, lord is depended upon to furnish them, Diversified I'nea of business whose activities center in home making will be represented at the show, which will be educational as well as enterta'ning, Universal patronage of the event is assured as housewives will appreciate the opportunity to attend, Prizes of town lots offered in various contests, the detalls of which remain to be worked out, will add additiena! enthusiasm and intérest, -| senate, 28 to 22, passed a bill which, ‘The Guaranteed Circulation of The Casper Daily Tribune Yesterday was 10,812 Chr Casper Daily Tribune L FIGHTS CHARGES KLAN AND WET.
