local Girl Scouts Complete Campout 14 Decatur Girls Complete Badges Fourteen Decatur Girl Scouts returned to their homes early Tuesday evening after spending.approximately 52 hours “camping out” at Pokagan state park. Under the leadership of Mrs. R. C. Hersh, these girls, all members of Girl Scout troop 4, loaded up with four tents, a gas stove, two coolers, sleeping hags and cots, cooking utensils, bathing suits, tennis shoes, and everything else that goes to make a perfect GirlScout week end, to complete their “pioneering” badge, which earned for them their curved bat rank and made them official Senior Girl Scouts. Having pitfched theit_camp_«ite near the tobaggon slide, the first activity indulged in was. of course, a refreshing swim, and they somehow managed to repeat that activity at least three or four timesfe* day during the remainder of their stay. They also participated in hiking, horse back riding,, softball, and watched other groups who were water skiing. . . —improving that “a Girl Scout is a friend to all and a sister to every other Girl Scout,” the group quickly made friends with about 15 omhans from Eaton, 0., who were also camping there, and joined with them in recreation periods. They also attended the recreation night at the Patowanaml Inn with them. The orphans were also guests at a wiener bake at the Girl Scout camp site. After eating all of their- meals cooked outdoors, the troop was made special guest of theJPotawanami Inn where they were served dinner on the terrace. Other than baking two cakes in an improvised outdoor aven, the girls generally agreed that the highlight of the “camp out”, was the fellowship they enjoyed with their new friends from Eaton. Troop members who became Senior Scouts as a result of thirf excursion were Janice Aumann,' U&ssie Strickler, Dianne Rhodes, Aliee Allwein, Linda Sexton. Carol Norquest.

Sheriff, Successor Die In Gun Battle Brings Tragic End To Jail Argument STILWELL, Okla. (UP) j— Authorities today sought to learn the story behind a gugbattle in which the county sheriff and his newly elected successor killed each other. The shooting brought a tragic end to an argument between Chester Crittenden, 50, and his successor. Bob Alberty, 33, on the third floor of the jail early Wednesday. _ Only jailer Ike Martin Jr., who lives in the jail, saw the gun dueL Crittenden had locked Alberty in the jail’s tank in the drab yellow brick Adair County courthouse. Later, Crittenden returned to check on his political foe. “He never told me why he put Alberty in jail,” Martin said. *T imagine It was for packing a pistol.” If that was the reason, Crittenden apparently never; searched Aiberty because the newly elected ..sheriff had an automatic pistol when Crittenden returned.

said Crittenden downstairs after locking up Alberty and when, he returned Alberty had somehow’ gotten out of Ma cell and hidden in the dark jail kitchen adjoining, the tank? Martin said the sheriff went to the kitchen door dnd said, '’Where are jy>u». Bob?” “Alberty fired a shot from the kitchen. The bullet knocked Crittenden backwards, and he shot back as he fell,” • Martin said. “I backed against a waif. Then there was some rapid fire. They fired at least three times each. Crittenden tried to hand his gun to me, but couldn’t make it. He staggered into my bedroom and said, ‘The son of a b ... . shot me.” He- died about 20 minutes later." “We found Alberty on the kitchen floor,” Martin said. "He was hit just once, in the forehead. He died right there.” Crittenden was hit in the stomach, shoulder and heart. Crittenden took office in 1953 Henry Buckner, who was slain while trying to arrest a man for drunken assault.
