said. “I felt that others must have been praring for me because the Lord must have been guiding my steps.” Forest rangers estimated Steeves must have wandered 100 miles through the most rugged terrain in the Sierras. He had lost 30 to 60 of his 19$ pounds. Fifteen days after he balled out Steeves came across a small cabin used as an emergency tool shed by the Park Service "I was pretty weak J>y then, but I was sure I’d find some food.” he related. “I found a can of beans, a can of ham and some sugar—and wood and matches. I had my first meal in almost 20 days.” Later, Steeves found a couple of rusty fishhooks and some thread. “I used grubs from trees for bait and some days I managed to catch one or two fish.” Steeves also rigged a trap and caught a deer. "Most of it was eaten before I got to it. That was about June 1. I rationed it for 20 days." He also ate some wild strawberries and even garter snakes.

EMERGENCY FUNDS (Ceatiaeea trow Page oae> Judge Parrish had said that it was legal. It was not used, however. Clerk Richard E. Lewton said that he did not like to issue a blank subpoena any more than a blank check. Lawyers not interested in the present case stated that the issuing of blank subpoenas is an established process, and legal, but that it is little used m this county, and that often clerks are unaware that it is legal. During the noon recess Monday, Judge Parrish ruled that evidence prejudicial to one defendant could be entered as evidence against the other defendant. He stated at that time that he intended to be liberal in the matter of admitting evidence so that he could hear all the facts of the case. As the trial began Monday attorneys Custer and Smith asked for the judge for special findings, or to outline his findings in the case in the decision, and find separately on each question of law. This is usually done when the possibility of appealing the case is being taken into consideration. Eleven exhibits for the plaintiff were recorded yesterday, most of them from the commissioners' record, except a map and a plat. Auditor Jaberg testified that he had searched the records as far as it was possible, and that he did not find where the commissioners had changed the boundary of Wabash or Monroe township as it is questioned in this mandamus suit. He stated that Berne, Monroe and Decatur are divided by township lines. He explained the transfer book

system for tax records, and how he transferred property from Wabash to Monroe township when it was transferred from Wabash township to the city of Berne. Judge Parrish ruled that they could not enter into evidence how this transfer was done in Monroe end Decatur, because it was not pertinent to the case. The objection was entered •by attorney Hubert R. McClenahan, but no objection was made by attorney David Macklin, defendant Jaberg’s attorney. Jaberg stated that he .had received a petition from’ L. A. Mann, the plaintiff, asking that he change the tax books to show Berne south of state road 118 as being in Wabash township, but that he told him that he was not ready to transfer property until authorized to do so. Auditor Jaberg then admitted that he had no authority to transfer property from Wabash to Monroe township. H<* then testified that the assessed value of Berne in 1956 was $4,089,960, and in 1957, 84,229,490, and that one-third, or about $1,500,000 in valuation, was south of Main street. He added that about 660 voters were living there. Sylvan Sprunger was then called. He stated that he had always believed that the part of Berne south of Main street was in Monroe township, but that he had never seen any commissioners’ records changing it. Noah Ncuenschwander, former township trustee, testified the same, as did Howard Gilliom and Glen Neuenschwander, before court adjourned for the day. This morning Homer Niederhauser, deputy assessor, testified concerning the Berne area, and

stated that he had always believed it to be in Monroe township, and had assessed It there, by the sheets delivered to him by the county auditor. , Nathan Sprunger, who had been deputy assessor for eight years, testified the same, Ernest J. Stengel testified that he was a justice of the peace for Monroe- township, and had always Relieved that Berne 1 south of Mata street was in- Monroe township. He admitted under cross-examination that his appointing papers did not define Monroe township, and that he had never seen any official change in the county commissioners’ record affecting the boundary. Menno Lehman, whose grandfather, Abraham Lehman, had helped found Berne, testified, as did Elmer W. Baumgartner. Berne banker. Walter Hiity. grandson of John Hiity, another founder of Berne, also .testified. Menno Augsburger, French township farmer, brought in a map which his father had left him, as defense exhibit A. The lawyers argued over Its admission as evidence. but the court admitted it as an* ancient document under the rule of ancient documents. The map was prepared in 1908 by Abraham Boegly, civil engineer, and stated thereon that it was prepared from records and surveys. The court recessed for lunch after this witness testified, and the map was admitted to evidence. Four Drivers Fined On Traffic Charges The four drivers slated to appear in J. P. court Monday evening did so, and each was fined $1 and costs for the various traffic violations. Mabel Gulmore, of Huntertown, was fined for speeding 78 miles an hour on U. 5.27, and Kenneth L. Baumgartner, of Decatur, pleaded guilty to a charge of driving a car without a muffler. Both drivers were arrested by state police. A fine was imposed against Leo Busick, also of Decatur, who was arrested by city ptdice for speeding down Adams street.
