Sheriff Merle Affolder has issued a warning to all motorists to drive with care on the county highways, especially where there are temporary obstructions of view caused by the tall crops. * 0 0 Democrats and Republicans of Decatur are making plans for the election campaign scheduled for September and October this fall. Democrats already have established their headquarters in the Niblick building, corner of Monroe and Second streets. The Republicans, with their faces a little red over the third term issue soon will follow suit. o 0 The Adams county Commissioners are completing the task of preparing the county budget for the county council. It’s a tough job with each department asking for more money for next year. We believe that the board will be able to hold the line on taxes and Adams county’s 1956 tax rate may be about the same as 1955. At least we're doing better than most counties, where large Increases are to be made effective. 0 0t— A new highway superintendent for Adams county will be named in the next week or two. The Commissioners are looking for a man who knows highway material and who can handle men, Indications are the job selection has been narrowed down to two or three likely candidates. We believe the Commissioners are wise in taking their time to make the selection to such an important post —-fl -fl If you want to have the time of your life, plan now to attend the Indiana state fair, scheduled for the state fair grounds, Indianapolis from August 31 to September 9.

zchafter twenty-bight / THE DOOR opened, and two men came in. Doc Hailer and Rob. Rob «tood by the door while the doctor came over to the bed and demanded cheerfully, “Well, young fellow, how are you feeling this morning?” •Til live, 1 reckon.” “Sure you wilt Can’t kill an Irishman.” Doc examined him carefully, and turned toward the silent man at the door. "You raised him tough, Rob. Lost a lot of blood, but he’ll be all right. Only he’s not riding into town to attend any inquest." "Le» me talk to him alone, Doc.” It was an order. Doc hesitated, then nodded. "just a few minutes. Don’t get him tired." Ht left the room. Rob hooked a chair over to the bed and sat down. “I don’t suppose you feel like talking about it, kid, but Lacey’s called the inquest on Tim for this afternoon. You can't go, so I’ve got to. And I’ve got to know what it’s all about." Kerry told him, starting with the note from Lita. sparing himself nothing. "Well, Rob,” he concluded, “you can say ‘1 told you so’ —all down the line.” Rob was silent for a long moment; then ne said slowly, “I should have killed him when he pulled a gun on me.” "1 didn’t want him dead,” Kerry protested dully. "Neither did L But I’m tough. It wouldn’t have ridden me the way it’s going to ride you.” Rob stood up. “A rider came in this morning with bad news,” he added. “Jared Toland died last night." Kerry stared bleakly before him. "I did that, too." “What do you mean? It was his heart —’’ “And that shooting right under his window probably brought it on—” “You didn't ask Tim to draw on you there,” Rob interrupted sharply, and added more gently, “It would’ve„come soon, anyway. Coming a little sooner just saved him pain." "Christie won’t see it that way. She’ll never forgive me." "Give her time, son,” Rob advised. “And don’t worry. Your job’s to get well. Leave everything else to me— muchacho" he added under his breath, and pressed his hand on Kerry’s hair for a few seconds, and quickly left the room. The inquest was held in the bar of the Last Chance. Tables had been pushed back, and chairs arranged in rows. The room was as crowded as it had ever been, but with people many of whom had never set foot in a bar-room be-s.-re. Most df the nesters were

If a man is accompanying a who is driving her own car. should he make an offer to do the driving? A. It would be better not. Some women are sensitive about their driving and might think such an offer reflects on their ability to drive. Os course, if the woman suggests that he drive then it is all right. Q. Some of my girl friends, who have become engaged recently, have given their fiances engage-

there, grim and silent —with one notable exception, Rob thought, as he took his seat down front, ignoring the hostile looks that followed him. There was no sign of Lita Dawson or her father. Lacey Parran pounded for silence. "These proceedin g will now commence—” he broke off as the batwing doors were pushed open, and all heads turned toward the woman who stood there. “Miss Toland!" Lacey scrambled to his feet “We weren't expectin’ you. We all know 'bout your troubles —” A touch of real feeling pushed through the sheriffs official manner. "I’m mighty sorry, Christie.” Tm the only one that can tell what happened. 1 saw it" Christie’s voice was rock-steady, controlled and drained of emotion, like her face. She had done her crying, but she wasn't wearing her mourning tn her face, any more than on her back. She came down to the front of the room, took her seat in the wit-ness-chair, and answered Lacey’* questions with far less sign of discomfort than he showed in asking them. Her story, as far as it went, agreed in every detail with the one Rob had heard from Kerry. She didn’t hold back any of the ugly suggestions, but one fact emerged unmistakably. It was Tim who'd sought the fight, Tim who’d drawn first: Kerry had fired only when he had to. There wasn’t much left to say after she stepped down. Lacey fumbled about for a bit, then cleared his throat and announced, "Plain case o’ shootin’ in self-de-fense. Case dismissed.” Rob caught Christie at the door. Out of the comer of his eye, he observed Wayne Cameron edging toward them. "Christie, I don’t need to tell you how I feel about Jared.” He took the girl’s hands in his. She gave him a brief pressure, and would have moved away, but he held her. "Come to the hotfel with me. I’ve got to talk to you without this crowd around.” "I've got to get home—” “I know, but you can spare me a few minutes. It’s important" He spoke quietly, but It was the Boss of Broken Spur talking. Maybe Christie was too tired to put up an argument Anyway, she let him lead her to a room In the hotel. She stood there facing him, head up"If it’s Kerry you want to talk about, Rob, it’s no use. There’s nothing to say, and 1 don’t want to hear It" ~ "Christie," he asked her, “why’d you give the evidence you did in court today ?” "It was the truth.” She stared at

It a man offers his hand first to a woman, upon being Introduced what should she do! A. She should accept It, of course, and without hesitation. Governors Gather In Chicago Conclave Political Wrangling Behind The Scenes CHICAGO (INS) — Governors of 46 states gathered in Chicago today to discuss nonpartisan mutual problems —but an undercurrent of political wrangling dominated the scene. Despite official decalrations that the 47th annual governors conference is "not a theater of partisan debate.” several chief executives sounded off publicly and privately on red hot political issues. Adlai Stevenson's chances of capturing the 1956 Democratic presidential nomination touched off shew the long standing feud between Texas Gov. Allan Shivers and former national party chairman Stephen Mitchell. After Shivers, who backed Eisenhower in 1952. declared that he would again oppose Stevenson for the Democratic nomination and nt support him if he headed the 1956 ticket, Mitchell told International News Service: "Certainly no one should be surprised at the governor’s statement. "I think Shivers is declining like the setting sun. All I ever got out of him in my two and ne half years as chairman was hindrance.” Mitchell added that perhaps Shivers should tell the governors in Chicago how to run a state land office, and added: "Life seems to be a lot hotter for him in Texas than here.” This was a reference to the complex land scandals which have shaken the Shivers administration in the Lone Star state. But another Democratic governor, Abraham A. Ribicoff of Connecticut. agreed with Shivers that Stevenson might not be the best man to lead the party in 1956. Ribicoff said he thought Gov.

mm. ”1 couldn’t let Kerry be jailed for murder when it wasn’t murder." "Even if you hated him.” Rob agreed. “You’d still give him a fair deal because that’s the kind of woman you are. Now you’re going to give him a fair hearing.” He watched her. seeing the resistance go out of her. All her fiercely hurt pride had been set against him, but he’d raised up another Jdnd of pride to combat it. "He told me the whole story you wouldn't give him a chance to tell you yesterday—and it’s the truth. That’s one thing about Kerry. He doesn’t lie to me." He told it, just as ne’d been told, not embroidering it When he’d finished, she dropped into a chair, laid her head on her arms, and cried—the hard, racking sobs of a strong woman to whom tears didn't come easy. But Rob sensed they were doing her good, and he made no attempt to soothe her. “Rob," she choked, "I’ve beer such a fool!" “Everybody’s got to be a foo! sometime in his life," Rob said, i ’‘Maybe it’ll do you good for once —teach you not to be so hard or other people’s foolishness.” "Maybe." She mopped her eyes i "Tell Kerry I’U be over to see him tomorrow after the burying. You’D be there, won’t you, Rob? Dad would have wanted you." “Sure. You lie down and rest s i while before you ride back to Slash • T. You need it." “1 think 1 will,” she agreed. She reached out and touched his hand, almost shyly. “Thanks, Rob.” “Don’t thank me," he told hei brusquely. "Just be good to mj boy. Better than I’ve been.” He pressed her shoulder and strode out of the room. * Wayne Cameron was waiting tn the lobby. Rob would have passed him with a nod, but the Double Diamond man crossed over and greeted him. "Congratulations, Mallory. Glad the inquest came out the way it did.” "Thanks. I’ve got to be riding." “I won’t keep you, Is Christie upstairs?” “Yes, but I don’t think she wants to see anybody." Cameron watched the tall figure out of sight with a faint scowl. Mallory would naturally want his foster-son to marry Slash T —and Cameron didn’t under-rate his antagonist. Mallory was smart Smart enough to talk Christie round? As he went up the staiirs, his fingers sought the reassuring eraekle of a paper in his pocket—the reward notice he’d got from Lon Calder. It might be necessary to use it, after all.
