High government officials would probably be more interested in the Russian satellite if it could be attached to a golf ball and stopped at each bole. ——o—o—— This coining Sunday would be an excellent time to start regular Church attendance. You are invited to read the Friday and Saturday Church sections of the Daily Democrat and select the Church of your choice. ■ ■ O"" O'—' Let us repeat that we have no fight with the city administration. . the Council, Chief James Borders. or any other officials who adhere to their oath of office to uphold the laws and ordinances. but we have no brief for any person who violates his oath. Perhaps we have made it too easy for a person to get on the police force and just sit around and wait until be Is eligible to draw a pension, which incidentally costs us plenty in taxes. We believe that the law, any law should be administered fairly and without favor, and as a newspaper the Daily Democrat intends to continue in that belief. o o— — A life-long friend of ours David “Heck” Hensley died ai Bronson, Mich., last Friday evening. He spent his school days and early manhood in Decatur and was associated With his father in the operation of Hensley and Son jewelry store here. Later the 7 Hensleys resided in Fort Wayne, Bronson, Mich, and Hillsdale, ' jfich; While a y&ing man Mr. Hensley was united in marriage - to Leona Hunsicker.-member of another splendid Decatur family. Two sons, both now deceased, were born. Some ten years ago, Mr. Hensley became afflicted With multiple sclerosis, and for ? foany years he has been confined ;to his borne, where the loving I care and devotion of his wife and | a sister, Mrs. Vera Ors, kept his I hopes for recovery bright. He ‘'lived a good life and until he was stricken with the incurable ail- - Dlent he held several important positions. He was a member of the old Wandering Eight club in Decatur, which later became Phi Delta Kappa fraternity and also of the Masonic lodge at Marcel- , las, Mich, and Methodist church * at Bronson. Our sympathy is exf tended to Mrs. Hensley and his _ '■ two sisters and there are many > memories of him and his good . deeds which will remain with us i forever.

Nippy weather continues. Sunday was a beautiful day and if you took advantage of the autumn weather and did some motoring, you surely were well paid for your effort in seeing the autumn wonderland all around you. It’s a grand time of year and we live in a wonderful community. o o— Notre Dame upsets the Army and now has become a threat in the middlewest as a returning football power. The Irish have more severe tests and still have lowa, Michigan State, Pittsburgh, Oklahoma and Navy. In another year, Terry Brennan’s charges should be back near the top. —o o The writer of this column has received a letter and a book of arrest tickets, numbers 16.926 to 16,950, purportedly from the Decatur police department in a popolice department envelope, with the following notation: “Mr. Heller: It has been brought to our attention that since you have been checking trucks on yellow lines, double parking, parking meters, etc., it would be appreciated if you would tag same. Find enclosed one (1) ticket book. Police department, Decatur, Ind." No doubt the effort was a gesture to "be clever”, but with us it is a serious matter. If the present police department fails in its duty to enforce the laws and ordinances, the City should get police officers who will. There is no exception in the ordinance which permits delivery trucks or any vehicle to park on yellow tines and overtime on meters. It not only isn’t fair to other motorists, but it creates a danger which could result in a serious accident. Moreover the delivery men are paid well for their products and certainly it isn’t asking too much for them to put a penny or two in the meter when they make their deliveries. We compliment the police force when they merit it and we eertainiy reserve the right to criticize it when the members fall down miserably on the job. The Daily Democrat will continue to call attention to the public to any violations of their oath by any officials. That is one of the purposes of a newspaper, and we have no intention of slackening in our policy to give credit where credit is due and to point out weaknesses where they appear. We are turning the matter over to the board of safety.

CHAPTER 33 'THERE was a little restaurant ' that was open and we had a fairly good steak and some French fried potatoes. Frank Sellers drank three cups of coffee and did little talking. Wanda Warren was frightened but tried to turn her charm on Sellers. We drove back to the section of land. Sellers stopped the police cruiser, switched off the headlights and the motor. The San Bernardino deputy's spotlight was a firefly in the darkness. Then he came forward. “Everything under control ?” he asked. "Everything under control, Jerry," Sellers said. "Take this car, go to Yucca and get something to eat, and you’d better drink a lot of coffee. You can guide the others when they get there.” Jerry said, "Okay. This darned flashlight is running down." "I picked up some more batteries and another flashlight in Yucca," Sellers told him. Jerry took the car and drove off into the darkness. I found trunks of dead Joshua palms, some dried sagebrush, a few roots and made a campfire. It was a weird setting, the flames of the Are casting flickering shadows, showing Frank Sellers grim-faced, thoughtful, silent; Wanda Warren, plainly apprehensive, . She changed her position from time to time, stretching out on her side on the sand, putting her elbow on the sand, her chin on her palm, letting the firelight show her curves to advantage. Sellers never even looked at her. She might as well have been a wooden figure. Once or twice she looked pathetically at me. I smiled at her sympathetically and let it go at that Much of the time I was out in the desert dragging in more firewood. The stars biased steadily overhead. The fire crackled a ruddy circle of warmth that stretched out only a few feet The cold chill ot the desert night kept creeping in closer and closer. After a while we saw headlights out in the desert. Four cars came along the road, the beams of the headlights dancing up and down as the wheels went over the hills and dips in the dirt road. The procession of cars turned in at the property, Jerry leading them in Frank Seller’s car. Men went about the work in hand with well-trained co-ordina-tion. A floodlight was rigged up, a tripod erected over the well, a block and tackle fastened to It and then a canvas sling was fastened to Steel Hbokft. ’ r “~ 1 went out and got more firewood.

A news car came jolting along. A photographer got out and started dazzling everyone with blazing flashbulbs. The correspondent I had met at Banning came over and shook hands. Men went down the shaft We could hear voices and shouted orders. At length, a signal was given and men started pulling on the line which ran through the block at the peak of the tripod. After a while the canvas sling came up. The coroner bent over it Then someone produced a blanket. I looked at my watch. It was midnight The whole operation had gone so smoothly that one didn't realize how many details there had been and how much time had necessarily been consumed. "" I saw a glow of light out on the desert, then caught a glimpse of headlights that came and went as a car alternately dipped down into the hollows, then climbed back to high ground. It was coming fast Sellers said, "Okay, pint-size, we’re done here.” "Not for a minute,” I told him. "Stick around. I want a witness.” "To what?” he asked. “To what’s going to happen,” I told him. The car made a skidding turn into the property, throwing up a cloud of sand. It was braked to a stop. The lights went out, and I saw Coming’s big figure climbing stiffly out from behind the steering wheel I walked forward to meet Mm. “What the hell’s the idea, Lam?” he asked indignantly. I said, "I’ve located Mrs. Wells. That’s all." He looked past me to the little group of men that were coiling up ropes, taking down the tripod, and then his eyes lit on Wanda Warren. He took long strides, reaching her side. “Well, hello, my dear! How are you?" he said. "I feel I know you. L sawyour picture in the paper, you know.” ’ Wanda felt such a relief at finding someone who was willing to fall for her personality that she turned it on with a rush. "Oh, did you indeed?" she said, smiling up at him and blinking her eyes. “You’re making a mistake, Corning," I said. “What the devil do you mean ?” he asked over his shoulder. I said, “That’s not Mrs. Wells. That's Wanda Warren.” ' He looked around and said, "She’s the only woman here.” I pointed to the place where the blanket covered the canvas sling. “No, she isn’t,” I said. "Here’S Yyonne Clymer, sometimes known as Yvonne Wells,” I went over and jerked back

Mr. and Mrs. Anisceta Villagomez, of 845 North Twelfth street, are parents of a five pound, one ounce daughter, instead of a son as was stated in Saturday’s Democrat. The infant was born at 6:52 p.m. Friday. Two Autos Damaged In Accident Sunday Two automobiles were damaged in an accident which occurred Sunday at 10:57 a. m. at the intersection of Monroe and First streets. Drivers of the two cars were Morris Begun, 58, of Decatur, and Brice Sheets, 31, of Decatur route two. Begun stopped on First street for the stop sign at the Monroe street corner, then pulled into the intersection, hitting the Sheets car. Damage was estimated at $250 to the Sheets vehicle and $75 to the Begun car.

Corning took one look at the death-distorted features, staggered off to the outer rim of darkness and became ill. 1 left him retching.- . Sellers came over to me. "Where’s Wells?" he asked. I shrugged my shoulders. "Come on,” he said. I walked with him over to Wanda Warren. “Where’s Wells?" he said. She shook her bead. “Don’t shake your head at me," Sellers said. "I’ll slap you in the can on being an accesspry to murder. Where's Drury Wells?" "Honestly," she said, "I don’t know. All I know is that he’s a part-owner In the model agency. Perhaps Norwalk Lykens can tell you. I can’t." "When did you see him last?" "A couple of days ago. He told me what to do, gave me specific instructions and a key to the place." I said to Sellers, “I think we can find him.” “How?" Sellers asked. “Come on," I said, “and I’H show you.” I walked over, to where Lawton Corning was stumbling toward his car. He opened the door of the car, fumbled in the glove compartment, pulled out a flask and took a big slug. “You can come into my office tomorrow and settle up,’ L I -said. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, screwed the top back on the flask. “Settle up for what?" : - "For finding Yvonne Clymer." He looked at me as though I'd hit him in the stomach. “Why you double-crossing shyster! I can’t do business with a corpse!” "Your contract doesn’t say anything about finding her alive. You Were the one who was laughing at me. I told you, you could die laughing. Keep laughing but be in my office in the morning and bring your checkbook." I’ll bring my lawyer," he blazed. "Bring a good one," I told him. "You’ll need one.” “You’re damned right I will," he said. "And when done talking with you, you won't feel so damned smart." Do you think you know the solution to this master' mystery by the author of the Perry , Mason and Bertha Cool-Don-ald Lam novels? See tomorrow’s installment hcra.
