—. .UH. ll— - ~4 I . I — Vance Hartke, Democratic candidate for U. S. Senator, has been called to Washington to assist the national committee in plans for the campaign this fall. This aggressive, hard-hitting campaigner, wjth real thought behind his ideas, has already made an impression on the national scene. His election will add prestige to the state, and assure us of sensible representation in Washington. • ——o——o Early enthusiasm points to an overwhelming Democratic victory in Indiana this Fall for the first time since 1936. In the primaries, the Hoosier GOP was trailing by nearly ten per 'cent in the largest turnout of voters in ten years. Democrats cast 525.840 votes, and Republicans only 429,710. This is a reversal of the 1956 .election v4iich the Republicans^garnered' 912 per cent of the vote, and the Democrats 46.2. The Republicans swept state and national elections, and even elected candidates in Adams county. This year the tables are turned, and the Democrats have 55 per cent of the vote, the Republicans only 45 per cent A good number of stalwart Republicans will stay home rather than vote for “High-Tax Harold" Handley, whose ideas are abhorrent to a large number of people, — i ■

“Has Senator Jenner already quit the U. S. Senate?” This question was posed by a reader of the Indiana Sentinel, Democratic weekly newspaper from Indianapolis. The reader had read about five recent bills in Congress. J Voting records were given, but on each roll call Sen. Jenner was among the missing. Jenner has been poor enbugh when present; his absence is inexcusable. And his handpicked successor, “HighTax Harold" Handley can be expected to be no better. Vote for Vance Hartke for the U. S. Senate and W. Robert Fleming for Congress. o——o A 10% increase in social secur-’ ity payments would certainly help our senior citizens in a period when inflation has devoured their savings. Some people look -..as a gists It is no more so than an insurance payment. Some don’t wish to accept it because they feel that they did not earn it. Yet they would take out an insurance policy elsewhere, and accept payment if injured the next day! Social se- , curity is a sound policy. Payments amount to a large sum in the Decatur area each year, and most of the money is spent immediately, helping business far more than all the promises and speeches front Washington.

Warn Os Notorious Gang Working Area Report Lightning Rod Racket Worked FORT WAYNE Bettor Business Bureau isued a general warning today that the “notorious Williamsons” may be working in the Fort Wayne area. One recent scheme of the William gang is selling lightning rods. C. Lane Breidenstein, president of the bureau, said the 888 had received reports of people allegdly using the name of Carroll having attempted to sell lightning rod systems to farmers and businessmen in the Fort Wayne area. Men of the group impersonate electricial engineers, sometimes displaying fake diplomas or endorsement from insurance companies, they use a scare technique by showing photographs of gutted ' homes. They have been known to assure that one of their products will lower insurance premiums by 50 per cent and to promise an underwriters laboratory-labelled installation. However, the label is d manufacturer’s label because they cannot qualitfy for UL approval. The prices they charge vary, generally being several times above the normal. Other aliases known to be used by the Wiliiamson gang include Gorman, Gregg, and McMillan. o — o 20 Years Ago Today o ■■■o July 12, 1938 — Huber M.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED Upon her arrival in New Mexico to stay at the ranch of her grarfdmother, Rachel Kilgore, whom she has never seen before, Martha Kilgore finds herself in the midst of a feud. For when dumped into a creek by her balky horse, she was rescued by Slade Considine and taken to the ranch of Slade's uncle, Nick Considine, to get dry and warm. Hearing her name was sufficient to cause Nick to order hei off his land and tell his nephew to stay away from all the Kilgores or be disowned. Nick Considine and Rachel Kilgore have been bitter enemies for forty years. All the ranchers in the Chupaderos have had a common problem thrust upon them. The Government has established a new Forest Service and is taking steps to Impose reguiations on the use of range that the ranchers considered theirs by right of possession. Rachel Kilgore has called a meeting of the ranchers at Wynn Thomason’s place to discuss ways and means of blocking the Forest Service’s measures. CHAPTER 7 WYNN THOMASON'S T Anchor ranch was a secondrate outfit It always had been. Wynn’s father, old Jeff Thomason, had been an easy-going, goodnatured sort who never seemed really to care whether he had much money or not. The bigger and more powerful 143 and Walking K outfits to the west had gradually edged his cattle down into the foothills, so that the most of his grazing land was the small area around the home ranch. That is, except for the strip of rich vena land on upper Escabrosa Creek, known as the Valle Medio. They could probably have taken that too, if they had wanted it, but they liked old Jeff Thomason and without anything ever being said about it Nick Considine and Rachel Kilgore had just kept their cattle out of there. This was easy to do, since only byway of the long, cliffed-in box canyon of Escabrosa Creek could the Valle Medio be reached. The T Anchor home ranch was a ramshackle-looking mess. Old Jeff had built the house himself forty years ago, and it looked as if he had never heard of a level or a square. The comers jutted out at drunken angles, the floors all sloped downhill. But he had had big ideas at first He had built a huge log framework, then something had come up and he hadn't got around to finishing it inside. Thereafter something had always seemed to come up, although up until the week he died he had talked big plans for fixing up the house —some day. In some ways Wynn seemed to be a chip off the old block. Certainly he had never done anything to slick Up the place. But where old Jeff had been goodnatured and easy-going, Wynn was bitterly bitten by a driving ambition. He worked hard but he never seemed to have any money. He complained because the 143 and the Walking K had shoved him out of good grazing country,! and © 1968, E. M. Barker. Published by ar

Leland Frank, Decatur city maiP earlier, has been appointed the new carrier on rural route 5. He fills the vacancy created when Hubert Zerkle. Sr., was transferred to route 1. John H. Heller, publisher of the Decatur Daily Democrat, served as the fourth district-s representative of the state Democratic convention committee on platform. Rufus Liechty, of Berne, has begun construction of a canning plant on the John Eicher farm, east of Berne. He plans to employ five persons when the plant opens next month. Rebel Prisoner Rests At Frankfort Home FRANKFORT, Ind. (UPI) —Harley F. Sparks, 56, rested in his hometown today following his recent release after spending four days in the hands of the Cuban Rebels as a hostage. The United Fruit Company executive was kidnaped June 30. Sparks was staying with his wife, Mae, at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Judy Herr.

retaliated by putting cattle on the land they had always claimed. The Valle Medio, he said, wasn't any good any more. It was so full of larkspur and wild parsnip, especially around the old beaver ponds, that he didn’t dare let his cattle run there. With the exception of Tony Miller, his right-hand man, who had now been with him for two years, he never kept regular help. He couldn’t afford it, he said. Seasonally, when he needed extra hands, he got either Jose or Patricio Guajardo to help him out for a month or two. The Guajardo boys were competent enough when they would work—which wasn't very often or for very long. There were some suspicious persons who wondered where they got so much spending money, and others who distrusted their skill with rope and branding iron. But working for Wynn had improved their reputation, for the Thomason family had always been respected, and folks approved of the way Wynn had settled down and gone to work after his father’s death. While the Guajardo boys may have been rascals, they were charming rascals. Even the folks who had reason to distrust them most liked them, liked their ready wit, their friendliness, their willingness to help out anyone who was in trouble or short-handed-provided, of course, that the work didn't last too long. Slade Considine was thinking of all this as he rode along, ducking his head against the blast of cold east wind. Ahead of him as he rounded a curve in the road, the lights of the old Thomason house blinked out at him. ——... There was a buggy in the front yard, and close beside it Rachel Kilgore’s two-seated surrey, with side curtains snapped in place to keep some of the wind and rain out. Tied to the hitch-rack was the bony, sag-backed bay that Frcnchy Qucbedcaux habitually rode. Slade put out a hand and scratched the horse’s ear. So Frenchy had decided to beard the lions in their den and come to this meeting. But it was right that he should be here, for he certainly had as big a stake in the apportionment of the Chupaderos as any of them. — The well worn, almost rotten boards on the front porch sagged and creaked under his weight when he stepped on them, and Pat Guajardo, sitting by the door inside, must have heard the noise, for the door opened just as Slade raised his hand to knock. “Hallo, Slade! Come in!" Pat Guajardo had never been out of New Mexico in his life, but sometime he must have had a schoolteacher from Texas, for he and his brother both spoke English with a pleasing but somehow funny mixture of Mexican accent rrangeuient with Paul R.

Two Autos Collide Friday AfternooaAn accident was reported to the city police department occurring at 3:39 p.m. Friday at the alley located next to the Adams theater. Involved in the minor mishap were Michael M. Fitzgerald, 17, route one, Monroeville, and William H. Kahn, 33, route one, Ohio City, Ohio. The car driven by Fitzgerald was headed east on Monroe street, and the auto driven by Kahn was headed west at the time of the accident. Kahn attempted to make a left turn into the alley off Monroe street in front of the Fitzgerald vehicle. Damage to the Fitzgerald auto was estimated at SIOO, and no damage resulted to the Kahn vehicle. Martinsville Child Dies Os Meningitis MARTINSVILLE, Ind.

and Texas drawl. He rolled his black eyes at the cowboy, jerked a shoulder toward the room behind him, and Slade understood that there had been a quarrel simmering and that the witty * little Mexican was enjoying it. To a stranger coming to that room, the air—so tense with a half a dozen old resentments and grievances—would have struck him in the face like a blow. But to Slade Considine it was no different than he had expected. His eyes swept coolly around the room. The stage was all set. Everybody was here. Jim Ned Wheeler and Hud Livingstone from the Kilgore ranch were hunched down on the floor, half-smoked dead cigarettes hanging from their leathery lips. Tony Miller leaned nonchalantly against the fireplace, a long curved pipe dangling from one corner of his mouth. Tony was buck-toothed, slight and blond. Some of the old-timers who should have known, said he looked like Billy the Kid, and Tony must have found the fancied resemblance flattering, for he copied , other mannerisms of the noted outlaw. He was something of a dandy, always wearing' handsbme, expensive clothes and a pearl- , handled Colt .45 strapped, low over his hip, and he cultivated a cold, fish-eyed stare. But there the resemblance ended. Whereas . the Kid had at times been gay and fun-loving, Tony was slow- . tongued and usually sullen. i Nick Considine, sitting in a , corner without any of his cowi hands for moral support, even in his pride and anger was some- . how a lonesome and pathetic I figure. i Big Frenchy Quebedeaux, a ' little apart from the others on a i chair much too small for him, i was squirming and perspiring un- '■ comfortably under Rachel Kil- ' gore’s coolly malicious gaze. I Martha, on a low footstool near . • the fireplace, turned her head and i smiled at Slade. His heart warmed i toward her, for it was as if she ; had stretched out her hand across i that Hostile room in a gesture of i normal, pleasant friendship. He was struck anew by her resemblance to her grandmother, but now that he saw them tol gether there was a difference beyond that of age. They had the I same lovely, long-lashed eyes, the same proud tilt to the chin, the same imperious arch of dark eyebrows—but in the girl there was a> gentleness, a fineness, that was lacking now in the older woman, and maybe it had never been . there. ; » Martha, he felt sure, would never enjoy making Frenchy squirm as Rachel was doing now. ... * (To Be Continued) On.
