Think how hot It will be next August! - -a o— Michigan City in northern Indiana got the worst dose of snow and wind over last week of any city in the state. All of Indiana Was “froze up" and numerous below zero readings were recorded. Weather forecasters haven’t been too optimistic for the first half of the week, so you’ll be better off to plan your evenings around the fireplace and just wait for spring. ’ — ~irir ,ri 0n..» In spite of the zero temperatures and snow about every place in the nation, this area is still extremely fortunate with its winter weather and temperatures. We’ve had some zero temperatures but very little wind accompanying it and while it’s taking a lot of fuel, we still can keep comfortable. Let’s hope we’ll be over the worst of it by the end of the week and then we can get ready for Easter and spring. o— —o—— Tomorrow is the start of the Lenten season in all Christian denominations of the world. Churches have different methods of observing the season but it all points to the same thing, observance of the few weeks before the death of Jesus. Many churches will have numerous meetings and other special observances. Members of many denoininations will fast. Others will have other types of special services. Almost all of Decatur observes the Lenten season in various ways. „ E—» High school basketball teams throughout the state are polishing up their teamwork in preparation for the greatest of all Hoosier events, the state tourney. The draws will be made tomorrow and teams will go after their practices in earnest. It’s always Participated by almost every high school team in the state. Excitement will run high until the champion is finally named after several gruelling weeks.

If you're planning a winter vacation you might as well try Canada or some place around Lake Michigan. It will be almost as comfortable as parts of the south. ——O 0 Baseball players are daily reporting to their spring training headquarters and there are fewer holdouts this year. Maybe the players feel the depression too and want to get into the fold as quickly as possible. o ■ o Highways throughout this area are in good condition and all that officials have to say is "drive carefully” and save an already good record of safety in Adams county. There are a few slippery spots on the roads and these make for danger. If a motorist drives with caution, we can continue our good record of safety here. W o o Fort Wayne Hoosiers are playing some good semi-pro basketball, but the crowd each Sunday Jias been disheartening. In contrast there were more than 9,000 fans at the Central-South Side game last Friday. The Fort Wayne sectional sessions should draw a record crowd too, especially if Central and South meet. The Detroit Pistons formerly the Fort Wayne team, aren’t drawing good either. o o Even the ambitions of candidates have been frozen up by the cold wave and there has been almost a st andstill in the usual announcements of .candidacies. There is plenty of time left for candidates to announce and no doubt there will be enough competitors to assure some good primary contests. o oI— Watch your furnaces and heating appliances when you shut them down for night. These are bad days for possible fires and we should use every precaution to prevent the fires. You can hardly ever make money on a fire and usually you take a. decided loss. Be careful and be happier.

CHAPTER 32 1 FOUND the judge sitting alone inside the depot, briefcase at his feet. He looked at me sharply. "What is it, young man?” "I want to talk to you,” I said. i 9 R hort,-tmt if -you can make it brief . . ." “I'll make it brief,” I promised. “It beats me how you can sit there and pass out twenty years of hard labor to a man after you’ve heard evidence that proves one of the witnesses was a liar.” “I beg your pardon.” He acted real insulteu. ~ — — "Overland was lying his head off when he said he didn’t know Everett. He knew Everett all right, and he lied when he said that Luther ever shipped stolen cattle from Rindo’a Springs." The judge's attention picked up considerable at that and his eyes became as sharp as drill points. "What’s this you’re saying?” "You know what I’m saying. How many times does a thing have to be repeated before you understand it,?” The train whistled for the grade crossing a few miles out and the judge stood up, briefcase under his arm. I shouldn’t have done it, but I grabbed his arm and swung him around so hard that he sat back down. “To hell with your train! You hear me out or you ain’t going to get on it” “I’m afraid I may have to call Marshal Ledbetter here,” he said. "Call him then, because I want him to hear it too.” “You’re serious,” the judge said, sort of surprised. “Believe me, young man, what you’re saying is strange to me." For a moment I thought he was lying, then l l know that he wasn’t. “Didn’t my brother, Cord, talk to you?” “I allow no one to speak to me after a jury returns a verdict: I have no intention of being Intimidated or influenced while I’m pondering a decision." "But he tried to see you ?” “I doubt that very much,” he said. The train was slowing down and the judge got «p again, moving .toward the door. I followed him while trying to figure away to stop him without landing in «dail. "Judge, won’t you wait? Won’t you please listen?” He turned to me. his voice gentle and very kind. “Young man, I can understand your feelings, and believe me, I’m tn sympathy with you. Had the evidence been anything but strongly circumstantial, I most certainly would have sentenced your broth- • er to hang. As it is, there was strong doubt, a lack of conclusive proof. If in the future any facts nresent themselves that warrant

Irene Byron's Rote Reduced 25 Cents A letter from the Irene Byron institution was received by the Adams county board of commissioners Monday, which showed that the daily rate for patients of the hospital has been reduced 25 cents. The rate was reduced from $7.50 per day to $7.25. Engineers on the new sewage construction project reported to the commissioners that a private sewer running from the court house east on Madison street to the river needs repairs. Approxiately 25 feet of concrete tile will be used to replace old corrugated I iron so that the sewer may eventually be connected to the new disposal plant. County Offices Open Saturday Afternoons The auditor, treasurer, and assessor offices will be open, SatI urday, Feb. 22, and March 1, until 4 p.m. for tae convenience of automobile owners who have not yet purchased their automobile li- ! censes.

reopening the case, rest assured : that your brother’s sentence Can : be set aside.” The train came tn, blowing and snorting, and the judge walked away with hurried strides. I stood, darksidejjfthe depot and watched him board. I thought, there goes Luther's last chance. From the baggage room, Marshal Bud Ledbetter emerged, his ; left hand handcuffed to Luther’s right. Ma and Cord were there and Ma was nearly wild with grief. The marshal hustled Lul ther onto the train and then the brakeman waved his lantern. I stood there while it pulled away, leaving behind a fog of gritty cinders and the stink of hot machinery. Cord and Ma 1 were walking toward me and 1 Cord had his arm around Ma while she cried. I could see that they intended to pass me by, so I said, "Wait a minute, Cord.” My voice must have shocked 1 them for they both stopped quickly and stared at the shadows. 1 Then I stepped out where they ■ could see me. "Smoke," Cord said, “will you ' just go away?" "Not yet,” I said. "You didn’t 1 talk to the judge, Cord. You 1 didn’t tell him anything." "No," he said, "I didn’t I 1 thought it over, Smoke, and then , I knew it wouldn’t do any good. AU we would have” proved was ; that Heck Overland lied a little. Luther would still have been as bad off as he Is now." ’ Ma raised her head and looked ’ at me. "What are you trying to do, put your guilt on my son?" Her arms tightened about Cord. 3 "Shame on you, Smoke. Oh, you’re ’ a terrible boy! The devil’s in you!” , "Come on. Ma,” Cord said. "I'll I get you a room at the hotel." He started to move on, then spoke to ’ me again. “Why don't you just saddle your horse and get out of the country ?” —- I didn’t answer him because 7 that sounded like good advice. I waited until they disappeared, j then eased uptown to Pete Lanahan’s place. Bill Hageman was , alone at a corner table. I crossed over and told him t what I’d found out about Heck Overland. Bill listened carefully, e then said, "Pete told me that » you’d wiped the floor with Heck. . A little hard to believe at first, . but he convinced me.” He paused e to sip his beer. “If you’re right, . then that means that Luther’s y going to do some time that he . don’t have coming. And the rusts ler is laughing up his sleeve.” His e eyes met mine, steady-calm. "I s could be that man, Smoke." _ t “t don’t think you are,” I said.

North Koreans Reject Plane Return Demand Return Os Hijacked South Korean Plane Rejected By Reds PANMUNJOM, Korea (UP) — Communist North Korea today rejected a United Nations demand for return of a hijacked South Korean airliner. It seemed certain the Reds planned to use the 34 persons aboard as blackmail for recognition of the Red regime. Two Americans and two Germans were aboard the plane which disappeared into North Korea Sunday. The Republic of Korea Red Cross cabled the International Red Cross in Geneva asking help in effecting return of the plane’s er occupants after the Communists rejected the U.N. demand. U.S. Navy Capt. George W. Kehl of Kittery Point, Maine, presented the UN. Command demand for return of the plane at a meeting of the joint U.N.-Com-munist Secretariat here in the neutral zone dividing the two segments of Korea. North Korean Col. Kim Choon Kyung bluntly rejected it. Kim claimed the two-engined DC-3 of the Korean National Airlines entered North Korea “voluntarily'’ in a righteous action to escape the war policy of the American imperialists and the puppet Syngman Rhee clique.” Therefore, he said, return of the aircraft was not a matter for the military armistice commission to discuss and it should be taken care, of in “direct” negotiations between the South and North Korean governments. North Korea has tried unsuccessfully for years to promote direct contact between the North and South governments. South Korea’s President Rhee has stonily refused to recognize either thw armistice or the Communist "illegal puppet government in Pyongyang.” The missing plane was piloted by Willis P. Hobbs, 36. of Vallejo, j Calif. It’s co-pilot was Lt. Coli Howard W. McClellan of Buchan- | an, Mich., an Air Force officer

“No, rm not But Heck Overland could be." "That’s occurred to me,” I said. ‘1 know for sure the steers were shipped from there.” I shook my head. "When it comes to having it, shipping stolen cattle right tmd& our noses.” •1 don’t know,” Bill said. “Not many people get up to Rindo's Springs any more. Myself, I have not been there for some time.” He looked at me. “Overland left town right after the fight, I hear tell.” He finished his beer, then pushed the glass aside. "You feel up to a little ride, Smoke?” “Rindo's Springs?" “I was thinking about how I’ve neglected the place,” Bill said. "Downright unfriendly of me, ain’t it? You got a gun?” "At home,” I said. “You bring yours along?” "Yes,” he said. “Seemed like only a hunch at the time, but now I'm glad I did. It’s under the front seat of the buggy.” We got up and Bill put his beer stein on the bar. To Lanahan, he said, “Pete, you got a gun around here?” "Yeah,” Lanahan said. "Figurin’ to shoot somebody?" "No,” Bill said. "Just wondered if I could borrow it.” “I, guess,” Lanahan said and dug around beneath the bar. He came up with a long-barreled Colt .45 and shoved it toward Bill, who rocked open the loading gate, checked the loads, then passed it on to me. "You’ll get this back,” I said and Bill and I went out. « Since Bill had driven to town in the buggy, I went to the stable to rent a horse for him. When I came back, leading my own and the livery pony, Bill was standing on Lanahan’s porch. He was wearing his gun. In all the years I’d known him, rd never seen him packing his six-shooter, but I must say that he wore it pretty casually, as . though he had a long-standing familiarity with it. Me ? I stuffed Pete ‘ Lanahan’s .45 In my belt and let it go at that. Even when I practiced regular, I never could draw fast But I knew which end did the damage and could point it fair to middling, which was about all the average westerner could do. I had a notion to stop and tell Cord where I was going. In case Heck Overland did me In, but Bill was In a hurry to leave. . .. —J—«He lay on Us bed, leaking blood.

aboard to get In some flying time. The plane landed at an airstrip about 25 miles north of the North Korean capital after by-passing its destination at Seoul and crossing the demilitarized zone. Kim refused even to accept a U.N. command list of the passengers and cargo aboard the plane.
