Highway tragedies in Indiana were cut down over the part week-end and the death rate dwindled, for a change. "0" » — Summer Is officially over and autumn has taken command, with its cool but most comfortable period of the year. Leaves will soon take on a multi-colored picture and then succumb to early winter temperatures. This is the time for driving around the coun-try-side and seeing nature’s great handiwork. ' ■ i Oi '" o — This is hay fever time and many of the sufferers have headed north until there is a good frost. Others have to suffer it out here and do the best they can with the remedies at hand. It won’t be too long now until there is a frost, gnd forecasters are predicting a near one for this week-end. ■o ■ o Parts of the world are being plagued by the Asiatic flu and warnings have been sounded here in the midwest, where we usually wait until the last minute to take precautions. In some sections of the world the disease has developed hundreds of cases of pneumonia and many deaths have resulted. Consult your family doctor concerning serum to forestall this disease. O -O Major baseball is going into the last week before the annual World Series. It’s pretty definite now that the series will be between the New York Yankees of the Junior circuit and the Milwaukee Braves of the National league. Milwaukee fans have shown „great enthusiasm over the prospects of having a world champion baseball team. It will be the first time in several years in which a middlewestern team has taken in a series. ? The diesel plant here is in apple pie order again and is being used *S a stand-by. The steam generating plant also is in good condition and with the surplus electricity being purchased, the Decatur electric power system is in the best condition of recent years. Once more, thanks to the dilligent effort of city officials, we can go to sleep at nights, knowing that barring an act of eid, we will have all the electric wer we need.

It might be well for all of our officials to read the constitution and the laws pertaining to the duties and obligations of a police officer, prosecutor, coroner, and grand jury. There are too many well meaning off the cuff answers and too many incidents which go uninvestigated. After all, an investigation, aired thoroughly, is not an indictment for crime. It may save an Innocent person, as well as start the machinery toward punishing some wrong-doer. It’s the unprobed incidents or the half probed incidents in secret which cause the people to wonder. o •' o — Harry Reed, well known retired linotype operator of this city, died last week-end at Veterans hospital, Fort Wayne. Harry was that happy fellow, who rode his bicycle through the streets, always whistling a tune. He was more than a whistler because he was filled with good sound philosophy, which made him happy. He was an excellent conversationalist and always had some encouraging words for the fellow who appeared to be down and discouraged. For the last several years, Harry had made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Will Winnes here. His friends, and they are many, will miss this genial and well liked citizen. i.i o o We’re headed for a mix-up in observance of time and it all seems pretty silly. It appears that people don’t like to be told what time to go by and there will be some general defiance of the law in northern Indiana. After all Central Standard time is the law in Indiana starting next Saturday at midnight and the law should be obsyd. It’s just so much conversation thatTnduktfy neMs * it because of the eastern connections. We had central standard time for many years during the winter months and after a few days of adjustment, everything went along fine. We have said before that we don’t particularly like it, but we still believe we should observe it as long as it is the law. We spend lots of money operating the schools and expect honesty and decency from our children. If school officials wink at this law, what is to keep them from ignoring other statutes that someone doesn’t care for? There are constitutional and legal methods to get rid of laws we don't like.

CHAPTER 17 “YOU’RE going to talk with 1 * Coming?" Bertha asked me. “If he’s at his hotel, 1 am. I’m going to try and get a written * statement out of him if I can.” “Donald, he’ll pulverize you." ; I said, “He’ll really pulverize us if he makes a statement to Wells’ attorney before 1 can get to him.” Bertha’s eyes narrowed. “That would make it look bad, wouldn’t it?” “What?" “You insisting on notifying the police that a murder had been committed. Coming not wanting the policp brought in, trying to keep you from telephoning in the information, you insisting. . > ." I said, "That part of it's all right. Just so he tells the truth.” , Bertha said, “You told him you had a murder to report." “1 didn’t tell him anything about what Wells had done. I told him what Mrs. Raleigh said he had done." “The process server was looking for you yesterday, Donald. Can they serve me instead of you?" “No, they have to serve me personally.” “But they served me with two copies. One of them must have been for you." “No,” I told her, “he served you once as an individual and then gave you one copy as a member of the partnership. That means they have service on you a* an individual and they also have service on the partnership. They'll probably manage to serve me today." •Then what do we do?" “Then we see a lawyer. One of the first things we do is take a deposition of Drury Wells. I don’t think he’s going to like that tn the meantime, I’m going to see Coming." Bertha pushed back the chair and came around the desk. “Look, Donald," she said, “I want you to know that Bertha realizes it’* been your brains and your daring that have picked this agency up from a cheap shoestring, process-serving, secondrate agency and made it amount to something. "I'll still kick about your expense accounts and your easycome, easy-go attitude toward money, but Donald Lam, when the going gets tough, Bertha stands by you, shoulder to shoulder! You wont hear a yip out of me—win, lose or draw." Her beady little eyes were an messed up with tears. “Now," she said, “go out and see Coming and see if we can get something on the dotted line. I sure messed things up with that lUUeigh woman yesterday,

which is something Td never admit if I wasn’t so scared." • • • The Dartmouth Hotel was a small apartment hotel that tried 1 to be swanky. The clerk told me he would see if Mr. Coming was In, and asked me for my name. I told him to say that Mr. Wells was calling. The clerk put through the call to Coming, then suddenly became cordiality Itself. “Go right up, Mr. Wells,” he said. "Mr. Coming said he’d be very glad to see you. It’s apartment 362-A." 1 pressed the mother-of-pearl button on 362-A. The door was flung open. Coming had a cordial smile wreathed all over his face and then, when he saw me, his expression turned a somersault. —? 1 “I want to talk a little turkey with you," I told him. He had his coat off, his shirt was open at the neck, and the rawboned bigness of the man stuck out all over him as he stood there looking down at me. I said, "I have some more Information which might be of value to you.” “What the hell did you mean by telling the clerk your name was Wells ?” “I thought I might have less difficulty seeing you as Drury Wells than I would as Donald Lam.” He stood there blocking the doorway, trying to think. 1 stepped forward with the : quiet confidence of a person who i is absolutely certain of himself. > “You’ll like this information,” I . told him. i He moved to one side, let me pass him, kicked the door shut, and indicated a chair. “All right,” ! he growled. “What Is it?” i I said, “If you'll tell me exactI ly what it is you want, I may be i able to help you.” ; “I told you what I want,” he said. “I want to find Mrs. Wells.” "Well,” 1 said, “of course it . makes a difference whether t you're looking for her for money, i marbles, or chalk. That girl cerr tainly is a dish! Td been pre- > pared to approve of her from her ■ photographs, but no photograph ■ can do that girl justice. She rat diates vitality, personality and—” He was forward on the edge ■ of his chair. “What do you mean! • Have you seen her?" I “Sure,” I said. i “You mean you’ve /ouad her?” i “Os course." ■ “Why the devil didn’t you let t me know?” “That’s what I am doing. I'm 1 letting you know.” . “Where is she?" 1 I said, *Td like to get a couple i of matters cleaned up first" “Such as what?” i “You remember when you were , in the office, that last time, when

I called up toy frteiid Oh the Homicide Squad ?’’ “Yes.” “I told him that a Mrs. Raleigh who lived next door to Drury Wells had said that she had heard a fight late at night had heard the sound of a blow, then had seen Wells go out to the garage with something over his shoulder, that she thought It could have been a body wrapped to a blanket You remember that?” *> “I remember the conversation." “You will remember that at no time did 1 state that in my opinion Wells had murdered his wife. I merely made a report as to a conversation 1 had had with Mrs. Raleigh." He started to say something, then his eyes narrowed slightly. “You seem to be damned anxious About this.” ’ / “I just wanted to be sure that your recollection of the conversation was accurate.” ■’ He thought that over for a while, then said, “Where’s Mrs. Wells?" “1638 Frostmore Road.” “Sure, I know. That’s the address.” “Well, that’s where she was day before yesterday, and Mie's really quite a dish.” “You mean, she’s back?” Corning asked. “She’s back cleaning up the place, getting the dishes done, the beds made, the ash trays cleaned out." ___ - - - "And you say she was there day before yesterday?" "That’s right.” „ “Then why in blazes didn't you notify me day before yesterday?" • “You’d fired me. I was busy on another matter." He got up, buttoned his shirt, put on his necktie, picked up a coat that was draped over the back of the chair, pushed his arms in it, said, "Come on. Let’s go. You can make the identification. You’ve talked with her?" “I’ve talked with her, of course." “All right Let’s go." I said, “I’d like a memo from ' you about that phone conversation so that I could show it to my friend on the Homicide Squad, so he won’t be getting any ideas about—" “Sure, sure!” Corning said. 'Til fix that up all right I’ll be glad to take care of you, Lam. Only you should have let me know day before yesterday. I’ve been going to all sorts of trouble trying to locate that woman. I just can’t understand her coming back to the house. That’s the last place in the world rd have looked for her « • ." Elusive is the word for Mrs. Wells again, a* the story conI tinues here tomorrow.

Beekeepers To Hold Series Os Meetings Three Meetings Are Slated Next Week A series of meetings for the beekeepers of northeastern Indiana has been announced by Adams county agricultural agent, Leo N. Seltenright. Three meetings will be held at points located so that one may be convenient to almost any beekeeper of this area, according to Seltenright. The first meeting will be held in the county room of the coliseum at Fort Wayne, Monday evening, Sept. 30, the second in the county extension office at Auburn, 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1, and the third at Portland, Wednesday evening, Oct. 2. Any beekeeper is welcome at any of these meetings, but the Fort Wayne meeting is planned especially for the beekeepers of Allen, Whitley and northern Wells and Adams counties, the one at Auburn for those located in DeKalb, Steuben, LaGrange and Noble counties, and the one at Portland for beekeepers of Jay, Randolph, Blackford and southern Wells and Adams counties. Prof. B. Elwood Montgomery, extension beekeeping specialist at .Purdue University, will attend each meeting and talk on life history of the honey bee and its importance in practical beekeeping. He will also discuss the research and extension work being carried on at Purdue. A panel of beekeepers will answer questions submitted for those at the meeting. There will be a discussion of future meetings and the possibility of organizing county or district associations of beekeepers.
