Many people work hard for a vacation only to throw it away in a hospital room because of haste. ' SLOW DOWN — DRIVE SENSIBLY. ——O•— The worn of litterbugs has reached such proportions that some are considering a request to the federalgovemment to create legislation for its control. Indiana spends about three quarters of a million dollars annually to clear refuse from the highways. Perhaps a penalty tor convicted litterers to pick up all litter along a stretch of roadway would tend to lessen this practice. 0 0 It is great to learn of the continued success of Carl Kleppcr, former Decaturite. Garl, a graduate of Decatur Catholic high school and Purdue University, has been identified with National Dairy and has served well in several capacities. All his local friends wish him the best of luck in his latest venture. Now is a good time to bend every effort toward the personal satisfaction that will be gained from a visit with a shut-in Little do we know the pleasure that we can give to one whose misfortune could easily have been our own. Take a few minutes, make a call, or send a word of cheer and you will be rewarded with a deep • sense of “well done." —<a—o— The aimointment of Harold Niblick as chairman of the up-coming Dollar Day meets with the approval of Decatur’ merchants and shoppers. A veteran business man, Mr. Niblick is well qualified to head this important venture. I ' Dollar Day has always been one of the great days for shoppers and this year’s committee is of another fine effort to 1 make this a Decatur highlight. . —0 O fe-- The current cement workers ’■ strike will impede the construcJ- tion industry in achieving its goal. £ Construction contracts are near < an all-time high but shortages of ’.'cement may cut deeply into rates. Such shortages are '. hot yet hampering building activities in the Mid-West to any great -extent. An early settlement of the differences would be a boon to this business activity. .. ’■ * —•

The new dual water line from the cast to the west side of the St Marys river will lessen the danger of lowered pressure in time of emergency. This improvement is another step in a general program to make a better city for the future. ‘ o—-o Travel agents are finding a booming business in club or group travel. Such tours have been increasing at the rate of fifteen per cent each year since the end of the second World War and agents see a rosy future in this unique method of travel. Sight-seeing and entertainment can be had on a larger scale than formerly and at a pice that fits the average tourists means. By the boat-load, train-load and plane-load America is more tourconscious than at any other time in our history, i —JO ou— Public utility and railroad assessments have reached $1,182 billions this year for an all-time high. This new figure is indicative of Indiana's stature among the industrial states and it is a good guess that the rise will continue for some time to come. Wouldn't taxing units be in a dilemma if these were state-own-ed and tax-exempt ? Many believe that coordination of efforts should be the limit of federal responsibilities while others are of the opinion that there are a few areas where the central government can abet state and local projects. Each will be debated for centuries, no doubt. O—O-— The year 1912 was one of great achievements.. Included among them was the election of that date, the acceptance Os the ModelT, the Bull Moose convention in Chicago, Boston’s Red Sox defeating the Giants in the World Series, and completion of the Morena dam in California. In the same year Adams county proudly dedicated the present Monroe street bridge, well suited at that time for the light traffic that it was built to carry. Some thirty-five years later the same bridge is supporting the heavy trucks that were not even thought of when it was constructed. Close inspection will reveal that it is cracking under the burdens of today’s traffic and the natural toll of time. A normal sense of responsibility should bring some effort toward correction of the problem.

CHAPTER 14 CURLY KINO, Gene Dillingham and I were squatted in the brush among the boulders, with Easter Creek rolling along within ten feet of us, gathering momentum, it seemed, for the headlong rush it would make down the canyon. Daylight had thickened until we could see the curve at the end of the quarter-mile Stretch of road below us. Silence except for a jay that was squawking in the timber behind us. Then Dillingham said, *”Will, I told you a while ago what Joe Pardee would have done about them colonists. Now I’ll tell you what I'm going to do. you’re aiming, to throw a little lead and scare 'em, but you ain’t ■’ aiming to drill nobody. That right’” “That's right,” I said. “Won’t work. I tell you there's »nly one way to do it. Hit ’em aard. Kill some of ’em and you’ve sot cm stopped. I’m going to ride along the east rim of the canyon. I'll wait till the first vagon is below me, then I'll roll i few rocks down on 'em. I’ll imash that wagon up and bust the horses. Then I’ll shoot the iriver of the second wagon, and his horses will get boogered and get tangled up in their harness. By that time the rest of ’em will be backing down the grade as fast as they can roll, and they’ll all get into a mess they’ll never get out of.” Sure, it would work. If the pilgrims ever did get back to the river with their wagons, they'd have their bellies full and then tome. I looked at him, his face thaded because his back was to the sun, but I could see his expression pretty well, the brutality that was there, the anticipation. I thought, This is what he’s been waiting for all this time. “No, Gene." I brought my rifle around so that it covered him. “Joe’s dead, There's only one thing that counts with me. That’s protecting the Box P. The easiest way to do that Is to Keep these pilgrims out of the valley. If it doesn't work, we’ll fight later, when the first settler rolls his —■ wagon onto Box P grass." “But the valley—’’ “The devil with it. You think Dodson wiD turn a hand to help us? He won’t, and I don’t intend to help bim."_ . His face turned dark red. "Win, you can squat here as long as you want to, but I’m going to do just what I said I—” •‘You trying to make me kill you?" I asked. “By God, I will, if you keep pushing me!” ! He didn't move. Even with my Trifle eflpvering him, he didn't so : jtnuch — blink. He just stared at

A. Really a divorced woman with a daughter should not be using “Miss” in front of her name, as it leads to social complications such as this one. However, in this case, she put “Mrs.” in front of her maiden name, and give her daughter's full name in the announcement. Q. Is it proper for a man dining in a restaurant with his wife to rise when another couple stops at their table for a few words? A. The man must always rise when a woman stops at his table. Q. Should watermelon be eaten with the spoon or fork? ' A. Either is acceptable, although I should think the fork is more practical. SSSSb 5a New Address The new address of Pvt. Alvin, T.

me, as n trying to aeciae wnetner he had a chance if he jumped me. Curly King was below us. He held up a hand in a silencing gesture. He said, “Listen.” Diningham swung away from me. I relaxed, sensing that, for the moment at least, he was willing to let our personal differences stand. Then I heard the horses coming. An instant later half a dozen of them rounded the tqm below us, John Mathers in the lead. “I'll do the shooting,” I said. Outraged, Dillingham cursed me. “They’n run us down. You're yellow.” "If Gene makes a wrong move, Curly,” I said, "plug him ” I brought my rifle to my shoulder and squeezed off three shots, the first one close enough to Mathers’ head for him to hear it whisper as it went by, the second and third kicking up dust in the road in front of them. Mathers and his men were off the road tai a fraction of a minute, seeking shelter in the scrub oak and brush that grew in a jungle-like mass between the road and the steep hill west of the creek. As I lowered my Winchester, Dillingham said harshly: “You could have got all of ’em. Nbw they’ll get us.” We waited about, fl fteen m inutes, my imagination running wild as I considered the various maneuvers Mathers might try. Then he Stepped out of the brush waving a white rag tied to the end of a stick. I heard Dillingham cock his rifle. I said. “Ease your hammer down, Gene," and waited until he had; then I shouted at Mathers, "Come on!” He walked up the middle of the road to us, shoulders back, head high. He showed guts, all right If I hadn’t been there, Gene Dillingham would have cut him down. ..il. 1 I didn't think Mathers would run a sandy on us, but there was no way to be sure. So we waited, with only our heads showing above the boulders, rifles covering Mathers, The first shot from his men would have brought quick death to him, and he was certainly smart enough to kiiow ft. He stopped on the opposite side of the creek from us. He said: “I want to talk to you, Beeson. Your men can keep me under control, J if you’re worried.” , That irritated me, but he was , right I was worried, and I had , reason to be, three of us against < his fifty- With Dillingham as wild as he was, and Curly as young as he was ...

well as I can,” I said. ‘lf I don’t watch Dillingham, he’ll kill you.” Mathers shrugged, plainly thinking I was lying, and waded the creek. He stopped on the other side of the boulder, his head tipped back. He said: “We’re here like I told you we’d be, and you’re here trying to kill me like you said you would. Both of us can't win, Beeson.” “I don’t figure on you winning," I said. “Take your men back to the river and there will be no more trouble. We could have killed you a while ago, all of you.” His gaze shuttled to Dillingham and back to me. “I’m a little curious why you didn’t, feeling the way-you do about this.” "I don’t want any killing if I can help it,” I said. “Those shots were warnings. Now you know what will happen if you bring your wagons up the canyon.” Mathers shook his head. "I have Mrs. Pardee's word that we will not be molested. We were on our way to see her when you shot at us. Does she know you’re here?” “No. This Is a man’s job.” "Man’s?” Mathers said scornfully. "You mean a fool’s job. Beeson, listen to me. First, you can’t hold us off. ,jjf we have to use force, we will. Fifty wagons mean fifty families, some with boys old enough to fight. Most of our men have had war experience. We would be hard to whip even if there were a hundred of you. If I am forced to go back and bring my men up here, I’ll put some on each rim and others in the road, and we’ll sweep the canyon clean. You’ll die, every one of you, and no law officer will touch us because you have no authority or legal right on your side.” He shook his head. "No, this Is not a man’s job you’re trying to do. I say you’re a fool because you’re trying to walk in the steps of a man who was a maniacal killer.” Dillingham straightened, throwing out a big hand toward Mathers. "What arc you waiting on, Will? Kill him!” "Let him talk,” I said. "You may be honest, Beeson,” said Mathers, “but you're not smart. So you'll stay here and die.” He licked his lips, and his gaze lifted to the slope behind me. It occurred to me he didn’t believe there were Just three of us. Now he was wondering how many men were hidden among the boulders and scrub oak. Will Beeson is outmancuvered by a girl, and Gene Dillingham gets his walking papers as "Gunlock” continues tomorrow .in thia paper. , - : j

Geneva Young Min Fined, Sentenced Jailed For Beating Wife Last Friday A Geneva young man received a fine of SIOO and costs and was sentenced to serve six months at the state farm at Putnamville, when he appeared in mayor's' court this morning, to answer a charge of assault and battery. Fred L. Thurmond, 23, of route 2? Geneva, was arrested at 7:20 a. m. Saturday, on a warrant issued after his wife of eight wekes, Virginia, signed an affidavit charging that he had maliciously beaten her. > The beating occurred at the Thurmond home Friday evening, as Mrs, Thurmond was watching television with four of her children by a previous marriage. No motive for the attack was given in court today. Thurmond refused to allow his wife to contact a doctor for treatment of deep cuts about the face, and numerous bruises and scratches, that evening, but the next morning she took the children t<? a near-by doctor, where she cohtacted authorities. Although Thurmond had possession of a gun and had threatened to use it, he did not resist arrest. He was held in the Adams county jail until his trial this morning. Also appearing in court tqday was William Henry Kahn,. 32, of route 5, who was arrested early Friday morning for flrunken driving, after leading a police officer on a wild chase over several city streets. An additional charge of reckless driving has been added to the charge, and his case has been continued. D. Burdette Custer is representing Kahn, who has been in the county jail since his arrest. A fine of $5 and costs was paid today by Orville D. Jackson, of Worthington, Ohio, who was arrested last Thursday for reckless driving; and KobertXatr, 47, of route 3, was fined $1 and costs. He was arrested by state police Sunday for disregarding the stop sign at the intersection of the Winchester road and U. S. 27. He appeared in mayor’s court at 10:30 a. m. today. Lawrence Brodbeck, 31, of Fort Wayne, arrested Saturday for running the stop sign at the junction of the Monmouth road and U. S. 27, appeared in J. P. court that same day, and paid a fine of $1 and costs.
