The Meeting The Chamber of Commerce meeting on the proposed electric plant sale was extremely successful Thursday joight. More than 300 attended; about 100 more than usual for such a meeting. The two speakers were authorities in their field. The positive side of the question, the side favoring the sale, was very ably represented. Because of the complexity of the question, hours were spent presenting the positive side, and allowing the positive side to answer questions. No questions, no answers, from the floor were allowed. This was not to limit the meeting in scope, but to prevent any outbreak stich as occurred at a similar meeting in Kendallville on the question. But just a minute! This means, then, that at the public meeting last night only one sidle’ of the question was really presented. While Mr. Bowen was certainly the most neutral, the fact that he had to leave immediately after his speech to catch a 9:40 plane meant that his answers could not be given in open discussion. None of those who are known to oppose the sale were on the podium to answer questions, not to explain their side. The most obvious ommission from the head table was that of a man who had been practically ignored through the whole discussion, yet one who is in the best position to know what is going on at the electric power plant, a man who in the past ten or 15 years has submitted 11 reports, all calling for the same improve- x bents recommended by the two engineering firms— Lester Pettibone, the city utility superintendent. The Chamber of Commerce, in their introduction, stated that their organization does not take sides, but wanted to present a public discussion. May we suggest * that George Auer, the new president, contact Robert Gage, the spokesman for the committee opposed to sale, and arrange for another public meeting on the question, with a question and answer period, presenting the opposition’s side? We understand that this would, in a sense, placd Mr. Auer in a peculiar predicament—the plant which he is managing here cannot help but gain from the sale, and he, of course, must favor the sale as a matter of economy for the good of the plant which he manages. At the same time, Mr. Auer is a fair, just and reasonable man, more than willing to let both sides have’their say. The people of Decatur would like to hear the reasons for opposing the sale in a public meeting. It would help remove some of the bad taste, fbr example, made necessary Thursday night when the master of ceremonies had to cut off former Mayor John M. Doan when he rose to • help answer a question., Those seated near him thought that Mr. Doan could have added constructive suggestions and facts to the discussion, had it not been impossible to allow floor discussion under the rules agreed on by the Chamber beforehand. A second meeting, to a low the other side time to present their argument, is definitely called for and proper.

CHAPTER 36 "VfTHERE’RE the boys with W those torches?" Mlnlsy called out. "They were in the back room," Elizabeth said. "Tom! Wilson! You’re wasting time!" When they got no answer Burkhauser went to the back door. There he found the note, written in Tom’s scrawl on the label oft a peach can. He turned to let the light fall over his shoulder and read: TeU Mr. Masterson I’m sorry and take care o] Aunt Ehzabeth. Elizabeth put her forehead against the wall and cried while Burkhauser stood there, folding and unfolding the note. He kept a close watch after that, on the land across the creek, and on the clock so steadily ticking off the minutes. An hour passed and then the noise across the creek began to die out. "By now they’ve circled the hunter’s camp," Burkhauser said. Elizabeth watched him, watched his interest quicken. “What is it?” "I don't know,” he said. "They’re starting the fires up again. No! The boys did it! They’ve set the grass afire!” : The fire blazed high in five places, fanned by the wind, pushed at race horse speed toward the hunters’ camp. Already the crackle and the snap of it was audible, drowning out the yelling hunters. Burkhauser opened wide the door, saying, 'The boys can hide behind that fire now and the hunters will never be able to reach them.” He put his arm around Elizabeth when she came up to him. “There’s only one way they can come, and that’s across the creek. Elizabeth, when IgO out, you bolt this, you understand? Don’t unlock it until I tell you." He gave her a small shove backward and closed the door before she could object. Something told Burkhauser to . keep moving, and he did, skirting the building as rapidly as his game leg would allow. Then suddenly he collided full tilt into a man and heard Mobeetie Jake swear. The jolt threw all of Burkhauser’s weight on his bad leg and it gave way beneath him as Jake’s arcing knife narrowly missed Burkhauser’s throat There was no chance at all to use his shotgun; the collision sent it flying and it landed three feet out of reach. Jake backed away; he could afford now to take his time. "Settlin’ time,” he said and began a shuffling approach. Burkhauser edged away, his hand going to his belt for his pistol. He jerked it free and fired, but Jake was already on the ground, rolling, thrashing, making an impossible target of himself by combining rapid movement with ink darkness. The noise had warned those ir the store; Burkhauser heart someone running through, ther Tom Rettig raced around the corner as the back door flew open mdiof » khaft * W «

I Mobeetie Jake. Tom called to him 1 'in a loud, demanding voice, shoul- i Winchester. This was one of those moments - when everything happened, yet 1 Finley Burkhauser saw it all with i great clarity. Elizabeth was sight- 1 ing his other pistol and Mobeetie 1 Jake’s head was swiveled around, T looking at Tom’s hard eyes over ,< the rifle barret Burkhauser’s gun i was in his hand and his thumb had eared back the hammer, yet ’ he was not the one who fired. 1 The shot came from over his 1 shoulder, from the pistol Eliza- 1 beth held. Mobeetie Jake jerked I half around, his tegs drumming a 1 tattoo on the hard-packed earth. 1 Elizabeth lowered the gun slowly i and Tom came up, his rifle still I held ready; | Mobeetie Jake raised himself on i his elbows and squinted at the I boy. “Waugh, you like to tore I me—in half with that—boy." His voice was high and full of pain . and then Tom began to cry. “I didn’t do it,” he wailed. “Now ye don’t need—to lie to this—old man. I taught ye well —lnjunin’ up on me—tnataway.” “But I didn’t,” Tom repeated. “I didn’t!” Finley Burkhauser put his arm around him. “Whoa, son. Can’t [ you see that he wants it that . way?” The old man sagged back and i his eyes began to film. “Where . are your friends?” Burkhauser asked him. . “Gone,” he said. “AD gone now. Gone and dead —same’s old Jake.” j “He—he thinks I shot him,” ) Tom Rettig said. j “He’s got to think that, son," k Burkhauser said. “He’d go to hell I J in shame if he admitted that any--5 thing but a warrior killed him. > That’s the Indian way, boy. You . got to understand it.” [ “I—l guess I do,” Tom said. 1 Jake’s breathing was heavy and . strained, as though he worked very hard at it. Then he kind of , relaxed all over. The breath left 5 him in a long rush and he lay B there, staring at a starry sky. “He’d have hated it if he’d died 1 In bed,” Burkhauser said, then - turned into the house, ushering v the boy and Elizabeth before him: s Wilson Tanner was standing in t: the center of the main room, try- • ing to recover from the fright he - had endured out there on the dark e prairie, gZu/ t The room was very ” silent t Burkhauser looked at ’tom, then at Wilson Tanner, solemnly red garding them. He motioned Tom s. over and knelt, putting his turns n around both of them. “Boys, it appears to me that more than s buffalo hunter trouble has to u e i- settled tonight Wilson, we’re go1, ing to come out with it now, the e truth, right out in the open.

but with Immeasurable sadness, not hate. Burkhauser kept on talking. “The greatest thing you ean do, Wilson, is to forgive another. It is a priceless gift and somehow both the giver and receiver are benefited.” His glance touched Tom Rettig. That’s as far as I can go, son. You got to walk the 'rest of the way by yourself.” He stood and watched them. The two boys faced each other, Wilson Tanner openly crying now for a father he had loved and lost, letting it all out, all the bottled up hurt and the sense of helplessness. For a moment Finley Burkhauser thought that Tom wouldn’t break, but he did. Flinging his arms around Wilson Tanner, he wailed, ‘Tm sorry, Tm sorry,” and his tears were real, his grief real, and the sharing of it healed them both. Elizabeth dabbed at her eyes. Finley Burkhauser blew out a long breath. “Well," he .said, “I did it, huh?” He went to the front door then and looked out across the creek at the died-out fire. Elizabeth came to stand by Burkhauser. Finally she said, "So big, this land. So very big.” “Yep,” he said. "Well, it’s been , quite a day, hasn’t it?” She laughed. “What can happen tomorrow ?” t He shrugged. “I hear there’s Indian trouble to Wyoming. It could be that the Arapaho and Cheyenne will come back this way, raiding and raising belt Then, if that ain’t interesting enough, I suppose you could count on a muzzier coming down from Kansas, knocking over everything that gets to the way. Like as not the winter will be a bone-snapper, and In. the spring, there’ll be set- . tiers moving to, and the Texans, all hairy and full of trouble. Add to that, Wyatt Earp’s chasing them back and forth, and I’d say you was to for a real lively time.” That sounds like it’s worth staying to see,” Elizabeth said, “How about you?” He grinned. “They made me take a year’s leave on account of this leg." His arm around her tightened. “All right, we’H give it a whirl, but being a man who lives from day to day, I can’t make much of a promise that extends beyond the first twentyfive years." “Will we go to Dodge tomorrow ?** “Why not?" he said. “Juan aad Jesus and White Bird can take care of the place, if we can find them. Likely they ran off and hid when the fur started to fly. Yea, we’D go tomorrow. I’ve got tbs buggy and it’s not every max who can have his kids stand up With him at the wedding.” “Well, aren't you romantic?" She was smiling, on the edge of laughter. , ’ He puffed out his chest T can do other things besides shoo bus-, fate hunters." He laughed and , turned her Inside, but before he closed the door he took one more look at the big land. ; -THE end
