The County Election Board The county election board, originally scheduled to meet this morning, postponed its meeting until 1:30 p.m, this afternoon, and had not yet decided whether Harry Hirschey was a candidate, or not, at presstime. All three members of the election board gave crisp “no comment” remarks, and are apparently quite disturbed over something. “The Election Laws of Indiana*” a book published in each election year, gives in summary form the interpretations of the Indiana state law on the subject of candidates and their eligibility. In*"the 1968 issue, which does not include the 1959 calendar, but does include the pertinent law, it states on page 22 that “The county election board is charged with the duty of determining eligibility of candidates to have their names printed on the ballots, ...” This establishes that the right agency is making the decision. Not only does the board have the right to decide who the candidates are, it may also subpoena witnesses and papers, with the chief of police serving them, and compel witnesses to testify on questions coming properly before the board. Each board member receives $125 for each election, special or general. Minutes shall be kept of each meeting by the clerk of the circuit court, who is also clerk of the county election board. A record must be kept of the ayes and noes of each member of the board. In spite of the Hughes anti-secrecy law, which holds that every county, city, or state board shall meet in ; public, unless otherwise authorized by law, nothing has so far been made public by the county election board on this matter. It may well be that nothing has yet come Io a vote. f ■ ■ ■ On page 11 of the booklet on the election laws, the state election board states, "A candidate should register before filing a declaration, as otherwise a candidate is not a legally qualified voter as required of a declarant.” This is so stated because of the wording of the declaration of candidacy. However, many people who have been candidates in the past have not been at all sure whether or not they were registered. It is not at all unusual for candidates to register when they file for r office. This of coure could not be done by anyone who filed after 9:50 p. m. Thursday—the clerk’s office, only place where a person can register this year, was closed. In a previous case it was decided that a person ' who signs a petition for candidacy on which he states that he is a qualified voter, but is later discovered not to be a registered voter, is not committing a violation of the law, and the petition is-still valid. This indicates that a court would certainly not hold that there was any inent to do wrong, or that any wrong was actually done, when an unregistered voter files for office. Since the book says “should,” this would indicate that the decision would be purely up to the county board. The Decatur Daily Democrat was apparently in error Saturday when it stated that Judge Parrish was present > clerk Lewton stated that Judge Parrish was not present duirng the meeting of the board. trn PROGRAMS Central Daylight Time WANE.TV 7.-00—Today • a w 9:oo—Koniper Hoorn CHANNEL 15 9:55—-Faith To Liv* By mowiht 10:00—.Dough Re Mi 10:30—Treasure Hunt X* & Andy lU<hl 6:3o—This Day 1959 U .30—Concentration 6:4s—Doug Edwarda-New* 7^o—U.

CHAPTER 31 ’ | 'HE WORST whirlwind on 1 Union Pass was -a gentle breeze compared to the force that struck the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. pack train. Mordecai Price dropped flat in the shallow water, with his rifle under him. He grabbed the base of a willow clump. He felt himself bounced up and down. He struck soggy turf. The water under him had been sucked away. An Instant later it came sweeping over him two feet deep, and then once more he was lying on soaked ground and the willow clump was vibrating under the terrible force of the wind. Dust to choke a prairie dog. The wind hammered with monstrous eagle wings. Mordecai was aware of the odor of bruised sage. He heard but dimly the noise of the cottonwoods being splintered. The terror-stricken braying of mules was a thin wail in the violence. And then the whirlwind was gerte; belting away with terrible force through a heavy growth of cottonwoods > short distance up the river. All along the edge of the willows where Mordecai had clung the leaves had been stripped from -•« the growth. For a moment longer he held hard to the toughly rooted clump of willows. Then he stood up. Shredded leaves and bits of sage were settling on the dripping mules and horses. Wideeyed men were popping up from behind the willows. Some of them had stood deep in the water. Morde'cal went over the packs. From the height of his head the cottonwoods had been torn away, with the whole top masses down to the last twig borne away by the wind, so that the ground around the packs was bare. Most of the ropes the voyageurs had tied to the trees had held, though some of the panniers were ripped. Mordecai was going toward the lower end of the thicket when he saw Ree Semple and Rhoda Marsh coming toward him. He turned away and went to find Big Nose Yenzer. The packers were talking excitedly now, telling of their individual escapes from death as they drove the pack animals from the thicket. “It don’t look so bad," Big Nose said. “How about the packs?” "They’re not hurt much,” Mordecai said. *T hope it scattered the American Company pack train from here to the Yellowstone,” Big Nose said savagely. "It might’ve too, unless they got Into the rocks awful fast up there ahead.” When the Snakes came riding back a short time later, Mordecai sent them out to see what damage Emil Frederick’s American outfit had sustained. - Mordecai was walking back to where Big Nose was having camp set up, whea a rider with a led

horse appeared on the downriver trail as if he had been spawned from the whirlwind. Mordecai walked out a ways to meet him. ■ It was Tom Fitzpatrick, grizzled, red-eyed from dust, with a gauntness in his face more J marked than usual. He got off 1 his pony stiffly. "This child has 1 seen some wind.” 1 "We was In it,” Mordecai said. "Where’s the ponies?” "What ponies?" 1 “I sent word by a Snake to rendezvous, about the fix we was 1 in.” . "Spotted Dog, yeah. It warn’t ' clear what he was trying to say, ' outside of you was taking back J all the ponies you needed, and < wanted somebody to meet you.” "Ain’t got the ponies now," Mordecai said. i Fitzpatrick frowned at the herd of pack animals. "Seemed like twice that many where I first struck the sign.” "It was. Our tracks are on top 1 of the sign of two hundred mules. Emil Frederick is ahead of us i now.” Fitzpatrick turned white. "American Fur Company? You’re fooling!" “Half a day ahead, at least” They sat down cross-legged on the ground. Mordecai told the whole story. “Don’t hardly want to believe Jim Shandy would do it,” Fitz- ' patrick said. , “I ain’t arguing about Shandy. Believe anything you want to about him! What did Spotted Dog say about the Hudson’s Bay pack train ?” “He said it was coming toward the Siskadee.” Injun messengers! Mordecai cursed them all. “McHvane is on his way to rendezvous then, damn it!” "Wagh! From what Spotted Dog said, we figured the British was going to set up on the Siskadee and try to draw some of the trade away." Mordecai glanced toward camp. Ree Semple was striding out toward them. Fitzpatrick looked at Ree. "Semple working for Campbell and Sublette?” "Nope. He sort of come along, is all.” "He’ll do, that Ree," Fitzpatrick said, “providing he ain’t up 1 to something, like usual.” “He ain’t” Mordecai knew his voice was carrying to Ree. "He rode clean over the pass to the Siskadee to see where the British was." ■ “Find ’em Ree?” Fitzpatrick •< asked. "I seen ’em. I didn’t get aldng." Ree gave Mordecai a brief, apologetic look, as if thanking him for the lie. “Thing is," Fitzpatrick said, staring at the miserable collection of animals the packers were hobbling, “what’re we going to do?” "Go on as best we can,” Mor-

Herman was granted I an absolute decree of divorce from Mary Louise Herman in the ■ Adams circuit court last week. , The defendant, Daniel Herman; • was granted the care and custody ■ of three minor children while the plaintiff, Mary Herman, was awarded the care and custody of one child.

Estate Cases An order on petition to sell or ’ transfer stock in the Genevieve ’ A.

The schedule showed the net estate to be $10,327.99. ... The last will and testament of L. Ar Holthouse was offered for probate.

decal said. "There’s a chance Frederick got busted up by the whirlwind. The Snakes just went ahead to have a look.” Fitzpatrick got up and mounted his pony. “I'll see for myself." "He went bumping past the camp with his faded blanket leggings aswing against the sides of the pony. "So you wouldn’t have me sculped by my own people?” Ree mused. . k “I lied. Don’t know why. You ain’t scarcely worth it.” “Make It up to you, I win, comes a chance." Ree went back to where Rhoda was sorting out her plunder from a wind-ripped pack. Mordecai saw her hastily shoving the Mandan-dancer pantaloons into a bag as Ree approached. Fitzpatrick and the Snakes returned at dusk. “The wind got at ’em, sartin," Fitzpatrick said. “They’re some scattered up, but they’re riding like hell to get things pulled together.” “How bad they hurt, you figure?” Big Nose asked. “Wouldn’t bet on more’n a day, knowing Frederick.” “That’s something,” Mordecai said. Big Nose shook his head. "Not near enough." "They's a handful of Blackfeet down that way,” Fitzpatrick commented. "Chased me, they did, almost from the time I left rendezvous.” Beaver rails perked up at once. Blackfeet, huh? In the morning the Snakes would see about that. That night the Snakes jarred the weary camp when they fired twice at shadowy figures close to the ponies. They didn’t bring down anything but neither did they lose any ponies. Little Foolish Bear swore that the Intruders were Crows, saying that he had caught a glimpse of their hair as they raced away. Beaver Tails would settle for nothing but Blackfeet, and Fitzpatrick supported him. “The Crows plumb disappeared this spring when they heerd the spotted death was killing off plains Injuns,” Fitzpatrick said. “They been cached out somewheres for months.” When the train moved on in the morning, the Snakes stayed behind. Ree and Rhoda stayed along close, together, talking something over real earnest. Now and then they laughed. It sort of soured Mordecai to see them laughing like that, considering the fix the Rocky Mountain Fur Co. was ta. “No disrespect to yon, ma’am, y but I wouldn’t want no wimmin of mine ’compacted nowhere by the liken of him,” is the advice given to Rhoda, but what can she dot Continue the story here tomorrow.

Young Democrats To Meet Saturday Night Adams County Young Democrats will meet Saturday evening at 7:30 o’clock at the Decatur Youth and Community Center, Harry Hebble, Jr., president of the organization, said today. Members will discuss arrangements for a coat check for those who attend the Kennedy dinner April 13. As an election of officers and plans for the 1959 state convention will be discussed, all members are urged to attend. Old-Line Reds Are Running Bulgaria VIENNA (UPD— Old-line Communists still run Bulgaria despite the brief “relaxation” which followed the death of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, East European experts here said today. The “Titoists” who were restored to favor before the Hungarian revolt in 1956, when the Kremlin was wooing Yugoslav President Tito, were purged less than a year later. Communist censorship makes it difficult to assess the feelings of the Bulgarian people, but the news which has leaked out indicates the existence erf strong antiCommunist sentiment in the satellite country. Massive anti-Cbmmunist demonstrations broke out in the south Bulgarian city of Plovdiv in January, 1957, two months after Soviet tanks crushed the Hungarian revolt Tanks and armored cars had to be called out to drive demonstrators away from the army barracks there, according to re-, ports that reached here at the time. At the same time, regional Bulgarian newspapers reported a major demonstration at Dimitrovgraid. an industrial center 20 miles south of Sofia. On both occasions, the official press said, the ’ demonstrators shouted anti-Communist slogans “picked up from Western radio stations.”
