Community Pride Decatur has a right to be proud of its many fine homes, and the daily care taken of them by their fastidious owners. The annual Christmas decorations reflect also the pride which homeowners have in friendly competition at the Yule season. The success of the Stratton Place association and the Homestead association in promoting beautiful outside decorations this year has been tremendous. Hundreds of people from all parts of the county have visited these areas to see the unusual displays of Christmas finery. Imagination and hard work has paid off in a project that should certainly boost community pride and interest. Many out-of-towners have remarked afyout the striking appearance of the city decorated to lighten the hearts of those who travel through it. This year two sections of our city offered prizes, and encouraged Christmas displays. It would be a fine thing if the Decatur Chamber of Commerce would catch the idea, and provide a city-wide contest for outstanding displays next year. Christmas comes but once a year—let it bring light and happiness throughout our city I

CHAPTER 18 rTNLEY BURKHAUSER was, L Elizabeth decided tn the days that followed, a very easy man to get along with, and she could not help but believe that she could live with him for years without a serious argument The children loved him to spite of the tact that he was more firm with them than she had ever dared to Im. Tom washed three time a day, and bathed twice a week. Once he sassed Burkhauser and promptly had his britches removed and his bottom tanned; Elizabeth never heard the boy speak smart again. Work went extremely well under Burkhauser’s direction and Elizabeth found that her firm resolve to keep him at a friendly distance was not so firm after all, for he was more than just another worker. He was a core around which a life was bunt, a family grew to quiet strength. Burkhauser had a great dignity, and even when he joked with the children, they never forgot It or tost their respect for him, or the position of authority that he occupied. He was, she had to admit, to authority, at the table, at work around the place, but he never gave her an order, or made more than a suggestion to her. leaving all the decisions to her own judgment. And she saw another side of his nature that she had only suspected before; there was a vigilance about him that never slept He listened to the wind and looked to the sky and worked heavily armed, continually scanning the flats for anything that might be out there. His ten days stretched into three weeks. The weather was turning bitterly cold and each morning the prairie was white with frost and a man could see his breath at noon no matter how brightly the sun shone. They were working along the creek, Tom and Finley Burkhauser, and the tall Texan quietly dropped a hand to the boy’s shoulder. "Gio find your sisters and get them into the house.” “Huh?"

Burkhauser’s nod indicated the direction; then Tom Rettig saw them, a small party of ten Kiowa* slowly approaching. He swallowed heavily and ran for the spddy, calling to Catherine and Mary. Burkhayser stood there a moment, then casually gathered up hla tools, shouldered them and walked toward the cabin. Elizabeth came to the doorway, saw the serious expression on his face. " "What’s the -natter T” She looked past him then and saw the Indians, still a half mile away. The girls came running. Tom behind them. He was nearly out of breath and spoke haltingly. “Shall—l get my—rifle, sir?" ’Just keep it out of sight tat

clock. Estate Cases The schedule to determine the inheritance tax without reference to the county assessor was filed in the estate of Katie Knapp. A notice was ordered issued returnable January 20.

The inheritance tax appraiser’s report was submitted, finding the net value of the estate to be $20,114.09, and that there is tax due in the total sum of $85.86.

'handy," Burkhauser said. To the girls he said, "You two sweeties get inside and don’t poke your noses out for anything." They welcomed the chance to obey. Burkhauser stepped inside and pickec up his Spencer repeating rifle. He checked the tutalar magazine in the buttstock, then leaned it against the cabin wall where it would be handy, yet not threatening. He did not bother to check his pistols because he knew they were ready at all times. The Indians were close enough now so that Elizabeth could see their trappings and weapons. She darted a glance at Finley Burkhauser, but he seemed quite calm. He was a wall of strength, just standing there with those efficient pistols on his hips. Twenty yards away the Indians stopped. They were not tall, and mostly stocky, big-boned, with flat faces and dark skin. One of them raised a hand tn the Kiowa sign and to Elizabeth’s surprise, it was Tom who answered him. "Where the blue blazes did he learn that?" Burkhauser said. "Mobeetie Jake taught him," Elizabeth said, still watching the Indians. , Then one of them did a surprising thing: he dismounted from his horse and came forward on foot. This was enough to cement Burkhauser’s suspicions. "I know what’s ailing ’em now. They’ve taken a good licking somewhere. No Kiowa would ever dismount that way unless he had a belly full of fighting.” When the Kiowa spoke, Burkhauser understood it, and Tom understood a good deal of it; they both listened Intently. Finally Burkhauser said, "He’s called Barking Dog, a small chief. And there was a fight. They caught some buffalo hunters away from Adobe Walla and tried to kill ’em. The hunters took a position in a waller and beat the soul out of ’em.’* He glanced at Tom. "That about the way you got it, sonT" "Yes, sir. What 1 got of it” Elizabeth looked at Barking Dog when she spoke, "Find out what he wants.” She met the Indian’s eyes although it was an effort to do so, for there was no trust there, and a friendly tolerance brought about only by distressing circumstances. Barking Dog spoke at length, then Burkhauser translated. "Os course he wants cartridges. I suppose he wants to go back and fight some more.” > r There are no cartridges,” Elizabeth said. Repeating this, Burkhauaer added a lot, about how this woman sold only the things of peace, not of war, and how the winter was about tq settle down on them and how hungry they would war ttufte&d of bunting buffalo,

Paul Woolon Named Gridiron Club Head Former Decatur Man Honored At Capital Paul Wceton, veteran Washington correspondent for the Nev Orleans Times-Pteayune, S*d former resident of Decatur, has been elected president *f the worldfamous Gridiron club of Washington, D. C. Prsidency of the 50-member organization of Washington correspondents is the latest in a long series of high offices held by the 78-year-old intimate of six presidents of the United States. Wooton was a ticket agent for the Erie railroad in Decatur many years ago. He is well known to a number of residents. He has served as president of the White House correspondents association, president of the national press club, president of the overseas writers, chairman of the business papers correspondents committee, and president of the national conference of business paper editors. In his official capacity he has presented visiting kings, queens and prime ministers to members of the press.' It was Wooton who convinced Calvin Coolidge to start the annual Christmas tree ceremony at the White House. Wooten held the font when President Eisenhower was baptized at the National Presbyterian church, of which Wooten is an elder. And it was Wooten who held his peace as young Margaret Truman roller-skated in the apartment above his at 3616 Tilden St. N. W., where the then-Sen. Harry S. Truman lived. A native of Indiana, Wooton carried papers and collected news items for the Auburn Currier, then headed for Mexico where at 22 he began his career as a cub reporter on the Mexican Herald. He has been the 'Kmes-Picayune Washington correspondent since 1914.

1I He painted a realistic picture and i Barking Dog understood it He ' was a- whipped Indian, easily handled now, open to any kind of i a suggestion, and Finley Burk- ! hauser knew it and played it a* far as he could. He knew that if an Indian was given victory, he became intoleri able, but in defeat he was as helpless as a small child. Indiana bei lieved that everything, good and bad, was due to their medicine, and once they thought it had turned against them, there waa only one thing lift to do, wait until it turned good again. “What have you got to trade?" Burkhauser asked. “Blankets, pots, knives, the things they can use." “Set your price high,” he suggested. “A horse for a blanket You can sen the horses at Camp Supply for thirty times what the trade stuff cost you.” Elisabeth shook her head. “Are you suggesting that I cheat them, Finley?” "Oh, no. But you’ve got them over a barrel and that don’t happen but once in a blue moon.” “I want to trade fair or not at an. AO right?” He knew when he was licked and smiled. “All right, your way. Elizabeth. Get the stuff out here where they can see it” The Indians stood In a line, their copper faces expressionless as Elizabeth and the children made repeated trips into the cabin to carry out and trade goods. Nothing in her life had prepared her for trading with Indians, or their Jabber, their curiosity, poking into this, trying on blankets, looking at everything. She stood by Finley Burk* hauser and watched them; this went on for an hour, the Indians grunting and talking and laugh“How'long does this go on?" Elizabeth asked. “Until they've had their look,” Burkhauser said. ‘These bucks won’t do any trading, anyway." "What? We carried thia stuff put for nothing?" She seemed outraged at the wasted labor. Burkhauser grinned. “They’D start drifting off after their friends. Tou can’t rush Indians, Elizabeth.” An argument seemed to be brewing among the Indians; then a decision was reached. Three braves wept away, but they cams back, bringing a dozen more. “The tradin’ wilt begin now," Burkhauser said, and bo was ' __ , ’ Bat MMterson is ta a mood to challenge Burkhauser: ** 1 wouldn't cut a man out Ftaijjil shy away from a maaa Just because another «nn wanted befc" Tssnpare rise as tha story eoatinnse Monday.

"Finley, don’t ten me they’ll cook on the stove.” They'll cut it up and make knives and stuff.” “My good stove?" The thought brought her near tears.

Elizabeth looked about her. “I’m cleaned out,” she said. "Except for sixty head of horses,” Burkhauser said. He looked at the herd, properly picketed, grazing casually near the cabin. T figured that We ought to have near seventy, but Tm allowing for the ten they probably stole back after Tom went to bed. Sixty horses at seventy-five dollars a head—that’s close to fortyfive hundred dollars at Camp Supply. Td say you bad another - fifteen hundred dollars worth of robes and peltries.” “I’pi too dog-tired to care,” Elizabeth said, turning toward the cabin doorway. She, went down the short flight of steps to the sunken-level floor, then turned and looked at him. "Darn you, Finley, selling my stove.” "Buy yourself another,” he said. "Elizabeth, at Camp Supply you could find a dozen stoves.” He came into the cabin. “A trader is a man who will trade anything, even the coat off his back. If he won’t, then he’s got the wrong frame of mind to be a trader. You get some sleep. Til bed down outside where I pan keep my eye on the horses. Wait a minute.” He walked out and around the ride to the lean-to. When he came back he was carrying his blanket roll.

"Finley, you’re a horse thief; Tm too tired to resist you.” His smile widened. "Knew Td wear you down in time.” He pulled her to him and kissed her with a big man’s gentleness. When he released her, he said, “We're not going to be able to forget what happened, you know." “I know,” she said. He stood there while she turned inside, then he went out and hunkered down next to ths wall and pulled his coat collar up around his neck. Throughout the rest of the day he dozed, and that night he built another fire, waking now and then to tend it Toward morntag be awakened with a start, ears turned to catch the aMen sound that had alerted him. Easing away from the fire's light, Burkhauser drew bis .44s and held them cocked. Then he caught the sound again, two horses moving through the frozen grass. A man’s voice raised a murmured, unintelligible question, and there was a muttered answer. The two men came forward, shadowed, cautious, moving in un. til the firelight glinted off their rifle barrels. Bat Masterson said, "What the heirs the fire for?” Finley Burkhauser stood up then and he startled Masterson, who swung the muzzle of his rifle around. "Hold it, Bat!” Burkhauser stepped into the firelight and the two men dismounted, coming up immediately. “You gave me a scare there,” Masterson said, curiosity in his voice. “Who belongs to all the horses? The pelts?” “Elizabeth just finished some trading,” Burkhauser said. "She’s in the cabin, asleep.” The young buffalo hunter pawed the beard stubble on his cheeks. Then he turned to the man with him. “You know my / brother, Jim, don’t you?” “I believe we met” Burkhauser extended his hand. “I didn’t recognize you in the dark. Yau two been at Adobe Walls?” "Yeah,” Jim Masterson said. He was taller than his brother, and a little older, more restrained in manner. “You heard about the fight?” “Heard about it and saw the Kiowaa that got licked,” Burkhauser said. “You two in “Start to finish,” Bat Masterson said. “And it sure looked like our finish, too.” He shook his bead. “That damned Adobe Walls ain’t as safe a place as it’s made out to be, either. Still a man can’t run out on his friends. Jim and I are going to Camp Supply for sheila." He grinned. “Then we’re going hack to Adobe Walls and wait for the fun.” Burkhauser said, “Sure-was nice of you to stop by, Bat, but everything’s all right here." “Well, I told Elizabeth Td stop by."
