Colder weather and lbt« of afternoon sunshine have been on the local weather menu this week. | While a little rain might be more helpful, these are wonderful HrIng and working days. • ' o e Indications are that the Sues canal controversy can be settled without war. And of course it la the fervent prayer o all people in this nation that such a settlement will he made soon. 0 O 1 "—• Both the Democratic and Republican headquarters in Decatur are now open to the public, where partisans can gather and talk over the campaign and get literature to support their contentions. Both party chaij-men promise millltant campaigns here and you can expect some old-fash-ioned “politicking" for the next six weeks. e o*— City officials are negotiating this week with representatives of the Indiana-Michigan Electric Co. in an effort to get together on a contract for the purchase of part of Decatur's elettric power supply. There have been some minor disagreements on the first contract presented tor the city’s consideration, but it is generally believed that these will be worked out to the satisfaction of all. o o Severin Schurger, Decatur attorney and Democratic candidate for judge of the Indiana appellate court, is busy almost daily now, visiting various sections of the state and attending political gatherings. Two years ago, the popular Decatur attorney ran ahead of the field but all Democrats were defeated!-Those dose to the situation predict that Mr. Schurger has an excellent opportunity to win the election this year. While we certainly would dislike losing him as a Decatur citizen, we believe that he would do an excellent job on the appellate bench. o - o Adams county’s new tax rate, collectible in 1957, soon will be established. The rate is lower than comparable counties because of the excellent and dilligent work of those responsible for making the rates. The only way to keep taxes going downward is for the people themselves to become Interested in government. Perhaps we are still wasting a lot of money and it is the duty of each of us to be familiar with

methods and sixes of public expenditures. It isn’t such a difficult job, because all large expenditures must be advertised before they are spent Let’s be watchful and millitant when it comes to spending our money and in that way local taxes are bound to move downward! < o— —o Because her office is running in perfect order, Mrs. Mirriam Hail, city clerk-treasurer, gets little public commendation. The fact is, Mrs. Hall is quietly and efficiently conducting the affairs of this office with such precision that her work has drawn the comment of state and local people who deal with the city. Mrs. Hall also acts as clerk of the meetings of the City Council and Councilmen are loud in their praise of her efficient and exacting work. We believe the people of Decatur made a good choice in her election last Novmber. ——o o Two members of a council appointed board, both named prior to last January 1 as Republicans are polled in the election records of the county as Democrats for the last ten years. These men either have polled themselves illegally or are holding their appointments illegally. The statute provides that not more than two members of the three man board shall be of the same political party. Each accepted his appointment as a Republican when records of the past ten years show each voted in all Democratic primary elections and declared themselves to be Democrats. When a board is named illegally there always is some doubt if future transactions are legal. o o A Fourth district Tucker For Governor chib is being organized to boost the Democratic candidate in every county of the northeastern part of the state: For several elections now this Fourth district, with the exception of Adams and Wells counties, has been a garden spot for Republican votes. Dean Bechtol has been breaking the ice by forming his own organizations in each county and now the gubernatorial candidate is following with his own organizations. In spots where organization is weak, it’s a logical way to penetrate the opposition. With these organizations flourishing, Democrats are bound to pick up many independent and undecided votes. More power to the clubs.

SYNOPSIS in Wild West day*. Narcissa Hull , traveled by stagecoach to Coyote • Creek. Montana, to marry Soul 1 Jacobsen. One passenger became obnoxious in hi* attention* to herDolt Kinney. He bragged of beinjx 1 the richest and most powerful man in i the ter r itory, and told her to jilt , Jacobsen and marry him. Narnsca found comfort in the presence of Dr. i Kid Eilund, who helped her find oft > Kinney. When the stagecoach stopped ' st Coyote Creek. Emil was not waiting tor Narcissa. The doctor offered her a ride to Emil's cabin and she giatelully accepted. They found Emil —murdered only minutes before. Dr Eklund thought of * haven tor Narcissa—a position as housekeeper for Tom Armington and Tom's two wild young orphan daughter*. For hidden reasons. Kinney wants Eklund to replace Philpott, the surge .-a at the local Army post whe resigned. When Erd decaned. Kinney tiueatened to expose him aa a le-s-rter at Chickamauga Ktnney also has an Influence over Major Blake, the post commander, and B’s. « es fet-ted the appointment Performing an autopsy on Emil's .ody Er- 1 , found a .50 caliber bullet He rode to Emil'* Cabin in search of the telltale shell, and there he was fired upon and his horse killed. Erd shot the gunman—Deever. a hireling of Kinney’s—and rode Deaver’s horse back to town. Kinney’s next idea was for Erd to take "something" to the restive Indians. CHAPTER 10 X TARCISSA was waiting for 1 v Era to take her to Emil’s funeral. Soberly clad in black, the smile was gone from her face. The children watched her anxiouseyed, ax Eklund lifted her over the wheel and took his place beside her. They did little talking on the short drive. She was remembering that this was the funeral of the man she had come west to marry. A man who, but for the workings of chance, would now be her husband. A man who had been her friend. If her thoughts ran beyond that, to the possibility that she had been saved from a grave mistake, she gave no sign, and Eklund knew that she would resist such notions as disloyal. His own thoughts were sober, and the future had a cloudy look. Preparations had been completed, the grave dug. Under Harlow Blake, everything moved with military precision. He was honoring the dead man by having a company of soldiers drawn up at attention, and he prepared himself to read the brief burial service. He met the buggy, coldly formal, but it was his sister Helen who eameup, looked searchingly into Narcissa’s face for a moment, then slipped an arm comfortingly about her waist and drew her down beside her. Helen, in that moment, was a woman, neither flighty nor irresponsible. “Dust to dust, ashes to ashes—” Taps, played by the bugler. Then they were back in the buggy, Narcissa riding stonyfaced beside him. Half the distance back to the ranch had been covered when she swung suddenly to face him. "Doctor —Erd," she said. “It all seems so terrible—a man shot down the way he was! What 7 could have been the motive for ( such a brutal killing? If I could I just be sure that his kilter would i ba broucht to justice—”

and his best man arrive at the church for the wedding? A. At least 15 minutes prior to the ceremony, thus allowing time tor any delay. Upon their arrival, they should repair to the vestry where the clergyman awdtts them. They enter through a side door, not throught the church. Q. If a girl has known a young man for some time, and she has acquired two tickets to some entertainment, would it be considered too "forward for her to ask him to go with her? A. There is nothing at all wrong : with this’. Q. What is the correct way to eat any orange at the table? A. Peel the orangq, and then pull it apart. At breakfast;the orange is often cut into halves and eaten with an orange spoon.

"If »he knowledge will make you fieri any better,’’ he said, "he has.’’ ■ At her look of surprise, he explained, passing as lightly as possible over the details, particularly where they involved his own danger. She listened breathlessly, her eyes never leaving his “It makes me feel better —and worse,” she said, and shivered. "But better, really. To know that his slayer is dead—and that you are safe from him, now. It could so easily have been the other way.” “I was lucky,” Eklund said. “Not only lucky, but skillful, in so many ways,” she said, and there was a shine in her eyes that was not from tears. “You’re really rather wonderful, you know. But why—why should he want to kill Emil ? 1 can see why he would be after you, fearing what you knew, but the other seems so—so senseless.” “So it does,” Eklund agreed, and did not atid his own suspicions. Better for her to think it a closed episode. He deposited her at the Armington doorstep, in the care of her now devoted admirers, and drove on back to town. A greater worry nagged at his mind. He was anxious to get back out there, even if tit meant being on the go all night, to see how Plenty Horses was coming along. He wondered what Kinney had in mind, and he wasn’t long in finding out Dolf brought it out to the buggy himselfj in a big box which he slid under the buggy seat In the box were four jugs of whiskey. “For the chief and a few select braves,” he explained. “It’ll be the best sort of medicine now," Eklund hesitated, revulsion in him. So this was the way he was to be used! “You know what army regulations are,” he suggested. Dolf Kinney chuckled. “Who should know better?” he agreed. “But who will make a better messenger than you? The doctor — the army’s own doctor —going about his business! Thia is a free gift, no charge, this time. Just make sure that they know who it’s from!” • • • Plenty Horses was dead. That was shocking, for while the Indian I . smallpox, Eklund had not expected that this would move so fast White man’s diseases mowed down the red with terrible devastation, but he had seen sickness among Indians before, not only in the months since he had come to Montana, but elsewhere. It followed a sort of pattern, and here the pattern had been broken. There was only one thing* to dp, a chore which he could delegate to no one else. Off by the creek, where the trees grew tallerand the. earth was soft, he managed a shallow grave. It was not until be returned to the cabin for the dead man that the other thing *jtuck him

Farm Bureau Workshop In Decatur In 1957 The Decatur Youth and Cammunity Center has been chosen as the site for the district four workshop of the Indiana Farm Bureau cooperative for 1957. Thia meeting will bring about 65 people to Decatur for two days. District four is composed of the six northeast counties of the state. Mrs. Aimer Armstrong, coordinator of organization relations, of the state Farm Bureau cooperative' association of Indianapolis, who was in Decatur recently to make arrangements for this meeting, notified O. M. McGeath of the Center that the group had unanimously agreed to the dates of March 26 and 27 for their 1957 meeting.

Plenty Horses’ blanket was missing. Every Indian had his own persona! blanket It might be ragged or filthy, and frequently it was, but always he cherished and clutched it to himself with both hands. Plenty Horses had had his blanket the first day that Eklund had discovered him, and he had been covered by it here the other night Now it' was gone, and the possible implications were grim. The loss of the blanket meant Uttle in itself, or even the fact that it might have been stolen from a dead or dying man. But what it was did matter. It could be as potentially explosive as a stick of dynamite, and far more deadly. The little that he. could do completed, Eklund washed in the creek, hobbled his team, and slept, not far away. The bite of frost was in the air when he awoke, and the land lay vast and empty and somehow lonesome. His tiny cook fire with its thin streamer of smoke, quickly tost in the morning mists, served only to accentuate the immensity. He had not been aware of the loneliness of it until today. This was a country which would be slow in the taming. He had a double-barreled job to do, and he found both aspects of it distasteful. Again he drove on, heading northwest, and here the flat country was definitely left behind, the slopes long and high, with pine and fir and cottonwood Scattered in clumps or groves, a hill country with each crest hinting of mystery or surprise awaiting beyond. It wasn’t so many miles now to an enchanted land, where each new mile did indeed disclose wonders. Half a day of extra traveling would bring him to the twin lakes—two long, narrow bodies of water, the upper of which was cradled by mountains, deep, clear, and wonderfully eold. Beyond that to the west the Rockies really showed what they could do, their peaks splitting the sky. The Indians had a name for that pass, for those bold enough to climb to the top of the world. “Going to the Sun.” Eklund had never taken that trail, but he intended to, one of these days. Back in those mountain* were glaciers of eternal snows, and a man who crossed these heights at all did so in deep summer, after the main snows had melted, before the new season’s storms blocked the way again with swirling blizzard and drifts many times the height of a man. Somewhere in these lower foothills, handy alike to lake, to plain and to mountain, the Indians usually had their camp for the summer. He’d known where it was, two weeks ago. Whether it would be there today remained to be discovered. The Indian was a nomad, and a free man, moving when and where his fancy drilled. (Ta >****
