Joy-riders who place barri- ’ cades such as mail boxes and gates across highways don’t toalize the tragic incidents they could cause. Actually they are potential killers, because they could be the cause of perhaps a fatal accident These barricades have been placed on several county roads in recent nights and to date no mishaps have been reported. The pranksters could cause a serious tragedy. o e— Citizens of Decatur own a factory site. Now let’s go out and get a good industry. The people bought the land in the southwest part of the city and why wouldn't it be a good idea for a peoples’ committee to be organized to keep the ball rolling. The more folks who become interested in a better Decatur, the easier it will be to start the action for more industry. It never has been a hard job to sell Decatur. Let’s get everyone talking Decatur and the first thing you know, we’ll have- so many offers that we can pick our industry. —-o o Bids will be received soon on Decatur’s proposed sewage treatment plant and city officials have indicated that actual construction work will start soon. ( Even with the quarter million dollar federal grant, cost of the improvement will be high. Retirement of the bonds will be made from money derived by increasing your water bill each month. The amount which you pay will depend on how much water you use. Residents with wells for air conditioning and manufacturers using well water will have their wells metered so that everyone using the sewers will share in the construction costs.

CHAPTER ZZ I CHAD RETURNED to his quar- i ters after making a brief report to Colonel Randal) about the , Indian fight and was taking off Ms heavy jacket when Zack burst ; jl “The Cunnel. wants you, Loo- i Unant,” he said. "1' just saw him,” Chad said. •What does ne want now?” “Dunno. 1 bad a leetle palaver with him arter you left and then ' he starts hankerin' for your company. 1 tole him I’d dee-liver his message.” Putting on his jacket again, Chad walked back along tne trench to Randall's office and knocked on the door. The door was jerked open. “Come in, Endicott, come in." Randall’s face was flushed with excitement. "You don’t have a minute to lose." Chad stepped in and closed the door behind him. He still had no idea what to expect. He said, ••Yes, sir.” “After you left, I had a talk with Cubberly.” The words spilled out of RandalL “He told me about Beauvais. He said the fellow had a brother, a twin, and they always travel together. Do you understand what that means, Endicott? You Jet the other one get away." So he was to blame! He would always be to blame, he thought, no matter what happened, and he wondered what Randall would do if he were killed. It didn’t matter. Randall would find someone else to blame . .. “You’ll have to get him,” Randall hurried on. “Until we get the other one, there’ll be no end to our trouble.” He pounded a fist into an open hand. “I’m getting tired of being penned up by a bunch of Indians. What kind of an army have we got up here, anyhow ?" "You can’t send men out into this kind of weather, sir,” Chad said. “It would be suicide even if there weren’t any Indians around." Randall’s face turned red. "Endicott, I’m beginning to wonder about you. Just wAat kind of military service did you have during the war, anyway?” Chad remained silent, his eyes on RandalL “Don’t think I want to send me” out into this weather, Endicott,” Randall seemed to become more excited with each passing i second. "And don’t think I I wouldn’t go myself if 1 didn’t feel s 11 was needed here more than tn I the field. Now listen carefully, y I Endicott. lam about to Issue an I order and 1 want it fulfilled in

r» - - ”-'C Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE o . ' .i—O Cake If too much flour is used in a cake it will crack on top. It will often rise over the top of the pan and be of very coarse texture if put in too slow an oven. If put in too hot an oven it will brown on top before it was risen sufficiently. Organdy Instead of using starch to stiffen an organdy dress, use a tablespoon of sugar in a gallon of water for rinsing. It will give it a body without being too stiff. Choking A remery to stop choking is to swallow the white of an egg. If a fishbone, take a sip of vinegar, which wilL quickly dissolve the 1 bone.

letter anu ejnrxv. yvu understand ?” Chad nodded, his mouth a straight line. Randall went on, "Take a dozen men. 1 can’t afford any more. The band that made the attack was not large and they won’t expect any follow-up from us." Randal) stopped, his chin thrust forward belligerently. •That renegade is worth a thousand Sioux. I want his scalp.” "Yes, sir," Chad said. "Take Cubberly," Randall said. “He knows, the land and he acts about nalf-lndian himself. If you succeed, I’ll see that your name is mentioned favorably to headquarters." A favorable mention wouldn’t help a dead man, Chad told tnriiself. The thought occurred to him that perhaps Randall wanted him out of the way. It seemed the only logical explanation for an insane order like this. "7s that all, air?” Chad asked grimly. “That's an. Start immediately! Those'lndians won’t wait for you all winter." The trail of the Indians led Chad and his men downriver, skirting the edge of the cutbank on its left side. There was nothing very difficult about following the path Cut Lip’s braves had left behind them. The snow wps well pounded down. They had not been marching two hours before Zack, leading the group, held up his right hand, signifying a halt “Smoke,” he said. "The Injun’s camp is yonder a piece. Wait till 1 have a look-see. Cache your men in the brush." He jerked a hand toward a clump of willows. Chad obeyed while Zack went on in his leggy stride. Chad glanced along the line of men. Tolliver, Higgins, Donovan, O'Hara, Hannigan, Rourke, Schmidt, McVey, Haskins, Duncan, Teller, Brown: the cream of the garrison. They met his gaze I flinging their arms around and stamping their feet in the snow. The cold was beginning to penetrate. They understood their chances as well as he did. If Chad’s face bad not been so cold, he would have laughed. It i had not occurred to Randall that Chad would take this particular 1 dozen. Inadvertently, be had, by bls stupid order, lessened his own i chances of survival far more than : he had realized. [ Zack returned, looking much I happier than he had when he’d i left the fort "Ain’t much goin’ , on. A few tepees, back a piece i from the river. Looks like Cut Lip i decided to hole ud and try to

Man Legally Dead To Receive Benefits To Regain Savings, Security Benefits TERRE HAUTE W — An old man’s bld for social security payments has revealed that he was declared legally dead four years ago and his $3,500 savings divided by court order among his relatives. Frank Schulte, 82, was getting along in years and thinking of retiring as a handyman at the Vigo County Home here. He asked Jasper N. Lewis, superintendent of the home, for help in establishing his right to social security benefits. Lewis checked with St. Charles County, Mo., where Schulte used to live, and learned that a court there declared him dead in 1953 because his kin hadn’t heard from him in many years and assumed he was no longer alive. Schulte left St. Peters, Mo., in 1912' and worked as a railroad and farm laborer until he took a job helping on the-farm of the Vigo County institution 10 years ago. Lewis said his investigation determined that the judge who declared Schulte dead had ordered a $6,000 bond posted to insure that Schulte would not lose his savings, left in a bank account, in case he turned up alive after the money was distributed. It appears now, Lewis said, that Schulte not only will get his $3,500 back but also will get social security benefits. Occupation Sunday At Missionary Church Sunday will mark the third Sunday of “Flight 1250”, the preEaster Sunday school rally being held at the Decatur Missionary church. Sunday is being called “Occupation Sunday” when the goal is to have as many occupations represented in attendance as possible. Last Sunday the church enjoyed an attendance of 227 in Sunday School. The goal of the crusade is to average at least 200 in Sunday school for five weeks and have at least 250 on Easter Sunday. So far, all of the goals have been reached. Any people who are not, attending any other church are invited to enjoy this inspirational attendance Crusade. Trade in a good town — Decatur

Keep warm, tie sure tnam rigger on us chasir' him." Zack motioned toward the west. "Not with what’s cornin'." Chad glanced at the sky. It was blacker and more threatening than It had been a few minutei before. He said dully, "Mon snow.” “Mebbe a real Dakoty duster," Zack said. He shrugged. “It’s yon party, Lootinant. I brung yos here.” Chad moved forward the way Zack had gone. Before he reached the top of the ridge that lay between him and the Sioux camp, he dropped to his hands and kneel and crawled until he could iooli down upon the tepees. He lay belly-flat in the snow. The ridge ran to his left in a semicircle and on around ths camp. A smaller pair of ridgei stuck out to the right of the semicircle, making the whole picturt look something like a large letter E. If there was to be any success here, it would hinge entirely on surprise. And to gain the element of surprise, he must take his men, without dividing them, as close to the camp as possible before their presence was known to the Sioux. He returned to his men and explained the lay of the land, drawing a map in the snow with a willow stick as he talked. Soon Chad started up the ridge, the others following in single file. It seemed to Chad that it took 1 longer to cover the distance along the main ridge and down ths i draw between the smaller elevations than the rest of the trip i had. The detail had been forced I to crawl part of the way. , As they lay furrowed to- ths ; snow, Chad whispered his final instructions. Hit the first tepees and I kill any brave that made an ap- , pearance. The noise would cer- , tainly bring other Indians out ol ■ their lodges. The men were to t stay in pairs, or groups of three, concentrating op the openings I and picking off the Indians as . they came out. Just as he raised his right hand r to beckon the others to follow, a shot sounded and Chad heard a > sickening whirrrr as a bullet t sprayed snow less than two feet t in front of him. r The slice in the snow told him r of its origin, from the left, and i rear. He was sick then, sick deep i down in his belly, a sense of complete helplessness gripping him i They were trapped. 1 , Thirteen soldiers and • * scout against a tribe of In- > dians.
