Remember death never takes a vacation, so if you’re going to drive some place this week-end. observe the speed and other traffic- laws and live to enjoy many more week-ends. 0 0 Congress is still bickering over a Civil Rights law. and indications are now that the measure Will die in conference. Our failure to pass a workable measure reveals the strength of a handful of selfish southern politicians. O Os—— Back to school is foremost in the minds of everyone. Decatur stores are offering all kinds of school necessities such as clothing, shoes, and all other needs. You’ll do better by making your purchases of Decatur retailers and if you get the Decatur trading habit your shopping dollars will go lots farther. 0 -O Fishermen of this area state that fishing in the small inland better for the next month, with many of the speed boats locked up for the season. Anglers say that this is the time of year to fish deep with ice fishing poles or other light tackle. Gcyd catches have been reported recently. O O You will enjoy attending the state plowing contest to be held in St. Marys township August 27. The contests are sponsored by the soil conservation district and the Krick-Tindall Co., with Sevseral ißratv implement concerns loanin® the'fquipment. It is expected that more than 1,500 persons will end. It will be a day to be long remembered. —0 O— Fall television programs soon will be announced, and indications are-that the fall and winter much more attractive than the Iprogrdlls area won’t be jsummer re-nins, which caused *many television addicts to shut off their sets and return to other : means and methods of entertain- : ment. About all you’ve been able to see lately has been soap, hair ’ wash, beer and headache-remedy shows. The TV field will have to advertisements and some cheap spruce up if it ever wants to hold a high position in the scope of entertainment.

Just a few degrees warmer and very little rain is the word form weather forecastesr for the next several days. We couldn’t hope for finer late summer weather than we’ve had the last few days/ There isn’t much doubt, however, but that we’ll have some pretty hot days in the next six weeks. Most of the nights, however, should be cool and nice for sleeping. —j b—o— Gov. Handley has announced that he would’ attend a convention in Miami, Fla., this week and then on his return trip would stop in Washington to ascertain the status of Indiana's highway funds. That's been his general policy, to place his state second and his personal desires first and that’s one of the things which has made him a most ordinary executive. O 0 Indiana high school football teams all have started drills for their fall schedules. Decatur Yellow Jackets, under head coach Bob Worthman, have drilled all this week in preparation for the opening game against* Auburn, always a tough foe, Friday night, September 6, at Worthman field. Prospects look good at Decatur high school, and local sports fans are anticipating a fine season. O O September 15 to 21 are the dates for this nation's second annual Civil Defense Week. No one has been exactly aide to tell just what the Week is for. Perhaps it is to remind us that tragedy could befall this nation and to show us the roads to take in case we had to evacuate, which is most unlikely. The government spends a lot of money on civil defense, which it has never had to use, but not a dime for medical research for numerous of our dreaded diseases. 0 o Long range weather guessers have promised us normal temperatures and plenty of rain from now until the middle of September. Perhaps if this area has a late frost, crops will be almost normal. Beans and corn were damaged by the early summer rain, but most of the crops seem to have recovered except the acreage in the low river bottom lands.

CHAPTER 33 ORDINARILY Delaney would nave locked the store and gone home hours ago, but he was still there when I reached town, proof that he was anxious to make any kind of sale and get out of the valley. 1 stomped snow from my boots before I went in. . He had scrawled the words of a simple agreement stating that I would buy his store and house for $3,000, possession to be given and payment to be made within ten days. 1 signed it and handed ’ it back. "Got another copy, Will," he said. "One for both of us.” 1 signed it, too, and folded it and slipped it into my pocket, thinking gloomily that I had been a fool, that after the beating Mathers had taken he would leave the valley, leaving me with a store on my hands. At the sound of a shot I alerted. For a moment 1 wasn’t sure where it came from, but Delaney seemed to know. He said smugly: “I hope they plug each other.” I grabbed his fat shoulder and shook him. "Who are you talking about?” “Dillingham and Kathy Morgan." I went out of the store on the run, untied my horse, and swung into the saddle. This was the finish. I don't know why 1 was so sure. Just a feeling, maybe. But it made sense. Dillingham and Turner had been working on their scheme all summer. Now Turner was dead and his friends had been cleaned off Box P range, Dillingham would be wild, but he should be after me, not Kathy. When I reached her house I saw that the front door was open, lamplight blurred by the whirling snow. 1 ran to the house, and when 1 made the step up to the porch 1 saw Kathy lying in the center of her front room. 1 went in, slamming the door, and knelt beside her. She was alive, her pulse strong and regular. Blood had trickled down her forehead and dried, making a brown stain above her left eye. It wasn’t a bullet wound: she’d been knocked out by a blow. I carried her to the couch. She was beginning to stir. Wlien 1 turned toward the kitchen door. 1 became aware of the shambles the house had become, billingham had taken an ax and smashed holes in the floor and the wall. Chairs were upended, drawers jerked out and emptied. The upholstery on the back of the couch had been ripped by a kriife. 1 found a dishcloth inthe kitchen and wet it at the pump. The same thing had happened there. Even the pantry had been emptied; supplies and broken dishes were scattered all ovei tlw kitchen floor. I returned to

rewrote the rules to bar all Yorkshire swine breeders from competition unless they belong to the American Yorkshire Club. The suit said the farmers won honors and prizes in fair competition in 1956, including the Indiana State Fair, while competing under the banner of the National Yorkshire Association. Named as defendants were all 16 members of the board and Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker, commissioner of agriculture. The farmers are particularly incensed at Chester Hackleman, a Fayette County hog breeder and member of the board. Hackleman is in charge of the swine division at the fair. The farmers contend that he is responsible for the new rule which bars them. Hackleman said the. board approves only one association for

the front room, where, Sitting down beside Kathy, I began t* wipe her face, all the while trying to figure out what had hit Dillingham. He was a bully who probably got pleasure out of sheer destruction, but why at Kathy’s ? She came out of it within a minute or so. "Did he hit you with a gun barrel?" 1 asked her. "Yes. 1 tried to kill him but i missed. Before 1 could shoot again, he cracked me. That’s all 1 remember.” She licked her lips and felt her head. "Get me a drink, Wilt There’s a bottle m the pantry if he didn’t take it," I found it, and a cup that wasn't broken, went back into the front room, and poured her a drink. She sat up long enough to get it down, then fell back, clutching the top of her head. “What was he after, Kathy?" She opened her eyes to look at me, her right hand still holding her head. “You don't know, do you. Will? You really don’t know. That Dillingham. You can fight something that's in the open, can’t you? Like Turner and his clodbusters. You cleaned ’em off Box P range slicker'n a whistle, but you didn’t know you’d turn Dillingham into a wild man. You don’t savvy anybody who waits and waits, do you? Me and Dillingham were good waiters, for a while. I wanted him to wait some more, but he wouldn’t. Had to rob me, and get out, but I’ll get him. I’ll get him if 1 chase him to the end of the earth!’’ “What was he after, Kathy?" I asked again. “Money. What else would make him do a thing like this?” She swore tor a full minute. “1 had better’n $4,000 laid away. Didn’t know then what 1 was saving for, but 1 knew after Joe cashed in. He was gonna leave me all his money, and what’d 1 get, A thousand dpllars!” She sat up, cursing again- as pain racked her. Even after what had happened tonight, she seemed to hate Sarah far more than she hated Gene Dillingham. She jabbed a forefinger at me. "You can buy respectability. That’s what 1 was saving for. Had the money right here in the house, and Gene knew it. After you killed Turner, he was bound to pull out of the valley. Wanted me to go with him, but 1 wouldn't. 1 was going to stay here and bust your widow friend. I'd have hired some gunslingers to do the job—not plow pushers like Secore and Troy and Runyan. We aimed to get you, Will, you and Thurston and the King kid. Run off her cattle. Whittle her down till slic'd be glad to sell. 1 was going to buy the Box P, and then I’d live up there in the house where Joe lived and I’d lord it over the valley lustjike they used to when Joe was alive." She shut her eyes again. I sat there staring at lier fc flunking

swirie. He said the National group each breed of cattle, sheep and broke from the American group after a factional dispute. Hackleman said the board agreed to recognize the American club because it provided more informatiop as to its membership and organizational setup.

that the last time I had seen her 1 had sensed she was evil; but I hadn’t realized how virulent her hatred for Sarah was, how much she had changed in the year since Joe was killed. 1 rose. Whatever sympathy Td had for her in the past was gone. She'd leave the valley. I’d see to it that she did. She went on. "Gene hunted till he found the money. That's when I tried to kill him. We figured it out a long time ago. I was gonna buy the Box P and he was gonna run it for the, and people d look up to us just like they used to look up to Joe and that thing he married. But Gene wouldn’t wait. Now he’ll kill her and he’ll go ’way with my money »» I grabbed Kathy by both shoulders and shook her until she cursed me and put her hand to her head again. 1 yelled: “Where’s Dillingham? Did he go to the Box P?” “Sure he went to the Box P. ’n' you're too late to stop him. He’ll kill her ’n’ then he’ll kill you. Think he’ll forget she made you foreman ’stead of him ? Not Gene. No, sir . . .* I didn’t wait to hear any more. 1 ran across the snow-covered yard and swung into the saddle once more, the wind still blasting across the valley, fat snowflakes pelting me as 1 put my tired horse up the»road to the Box P. Kathy Morgan’s words were going through my mind in an endless burning refrain: “Sure he went to the Box P, and you rc too late to stop him." She could have told me that at first, but instead she’d talked, holding me there so that Dillingham would have more time. Something inside kept telling me to ride, ride . . . All 1 knew was that tt was cold and that it was an effort to stay in the saddle. ;> My horse stopped. Instinct made me dismount. 1 knew I could not stand there motionless, so 1 began stirring around and waving my arms, and a moment later 1 stumbled into the corral gate. The bunkhouse windows were dark, and when 1 opened the door the room seemed as cold as the driving snow outside. I went.on toward the house, guided by a faint show of light that was hardly anything at all when 1 first saw it, so hard was it showing. But it was enough and 1 was fully aware of what lay ahead. 1 must kill Gene Dillingham or he would kill me. Thi waiting was over, and yet, knowing that, I made a stupid mis take for which there was no excuse ... "Dillingham stood as motionless as if lie and the gun u ere carved out of granite. 1 did the only thing I could—" Continue Will Beeson’s story tomorrow.
