Hard Work Ahead Tuesday the people of Decatur voted 1,500 to 1,273 to keep their electric utility. They are willing to gird their belts, and pay higher rates to keep the plant. Now come the big questions. Should the city attempt to keep the rural lines, or give them up ? To do the former, they must be repaired, with new transformer’s and more voltage, immediately. To do the latter, we must pay off the old bond issue on the diesel plant, paying a premium penalty of $35,000, before the lines can be released. Then we must rebond with only 75% the former revenue and at 4 plus percent interest, paying at least $7,000 a year more out in interest than on the present debt, even if we pay off as much as possible from the bond repayment fund of $265,000. Then, shall we continue to operate the steam and diesel plants, at very, very low profit, or build a substation to buy power? And, since everyone wants to operate both plants and the crews more efficiently, who will be fired, and who hired? These are very serious questions. The city administration will have to act immediately on them. We hope that the citizens committee, which sparkplugged the drive to keep the city plant, will come up with more concrete suggestions than they were able to muster in their ads. We hope that they will now be able to point out how the city will reduce the tax rate next year 20 to 30 cents. We hope they will make their names public, and continue in operation to assist the "people in the choices that remain before them. We hope that the committee, is not composed of a group of petty politicians, more interested in keeping a few appointive jobs around for their friends than in the welfare of Decatur. It was easy to vote in yesterday’s election. It only took a second to mark an X in the square. But today we find we have made a decision that we will have to live with. How are we going to do it ? What paths shall we take ? 0 Do members of the committee favor federal aid? Do they favor a Maumee or Wabash river authority, like TVA, to produce cheap power, and give it to municipal groups at lower rates? The election is now over. What might have been will never be. But we have to go on, from the position we have elected to take. What will our course be, here in Decatur? Keep or lose the rural lines, manufacture or buy power, fire and hire whom? And who is best fitted to carry out this mandate of the people? The Republicans have no candidates in the field, announced. The Democrats have three choices for mayor. Which one is best qualified to pull the city electric utility out, keep up streets, develop sewers and water lines, keep the youth center on a paying basis, and run government efficiently ?

CHAPTER 36

|IM SHANDY shifted his rifle J easy as Mordecal Price approached him. "Hello, hoss," he said. "Hear you been telling a heap of lies.” Mordecai said. It was tiara doin’s with rifles, close together as they were. Likely couldn't get out of tt with a whole hide, Mordecal Knew, but that wasn't stopping him none. He was ready and so was Shandy. Hanging on a second like tt ■was, there was no reason for Shandy to try to hide what he was feeling. Mordecai guessed he couldn't have if he’d tried He saw how Shandy hated him and it wasn’t no ordinary kind of thing, but such a force as twisted and knotted a man’s guts. Mordecal flopped his thumb up on the hammer of his rifle, Old Belcher. “Don’t recollect telling any lies about you," Shandy raid. He eased oft suddenly and went over to the trading counter, with his back toward Mordecal. Mordecal wouldn't nave believed it. They didn’t eat dirt that way, not men like Shandy. Ree Semple came from behind Mordecal. He was grinning with his mouth but his eyes were looking hard at Mordecal, telling him there was something that needed talking about. Mordecal figured it out as they walked off toward the junction of the rivers. Shandy hadn’t eat dirt; he’d been so bad beat, he’d backed off for a minute, was all. Mordecal cussed Ree. "Shoved your stick Ln, didn't you? You had him in your sights!” "Right across my arm, she was,” Ree said, "cocked and looking into his stinking black heart. Did he take a deep breath or bat his eye, he was gone beaver." “It was none of your business!” Ree gave Mordecal a sober look. "Just one time If all. Now it’s up to you." "He'll He his way but of tt!" "Don’t think so," said Ree. "And 1 ain’t going to be your keeper no longer, Mord.” “You never was!" By Old Caleb, it was like when Fitz and Ree and Rhoda cooked up that smallpox business, not saying nothing to Mordecal about it, as if he was too oak-headed to be in on it or even know. Afterward, Rhoda said it was because they were afraid it wouldn't work, and didn’t want the Rocky Mountain pack train to get all hopeful. Now Ree was talking riddles. “I’m going back and finish it," Mordecal said. “Up to you.” Ree shrugged like a Frenchman. They walked back to the trading counter, but Shandy wasn’t in sight nowhere. • • • J' j Is the afternoon the Snakes

included 47 at Atlanta and 43 at Louisville.

Most of the precipitation was confined to the West where showers and snow flurries at higher elevations occurred in Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho. Generally light rain also fell in southern Texas. Gusty winds, which hit 50 m.p.h. at Baker. Ore., brought cooler weather to the Pacific Northwest and the northern Plains. Southerly winds with gusts of 30 m.p.h. maintained mild temperatures from the central Plains to northern Minnesota. Scattered showers were expected to continue Wednesday in the Pacific Northwest and the Rock-

and Bannocks picked up and skyugled within an hour’s timec Where their smoke-dark lodges? had made two big cam- ?, there were now cropped down grass, a few still smoking fire pits and the bones of their feasting. Emil Frederick came down the river two hours later, camping upstream and on the ipposite side from the rendezvous in order to have grass for nis mules. Al! he could do now was go on down the Bighorn to Fort Cass with hi» trade goods. Things were aching hard inside him when he came over to call on the Rocky Mountain men, but he held a tight smile as if he was thinking that this was only a temporary defeat He took the cup of whisky Jim Bridger offered him. Mordecai went off to tell Rhoda Marsh goodbye. He could see her traps all neat and stacked against the back wall of the lodge. She heard him coming and stepped out, wearing her settlement clothes. “I hear you’re leaving in the morning,” Mordecal said. “Yes. Elisha says we’ll go back byway of South Pass.” Mordecai wiped a smidgin of dust off the muzzle of Old Belcher. “Best wiy, sure enough." "Reverend Arnwlne is to marry us this evening.” Mordecai looked off toward the Bighorns. He wasn’t casting around for words: he’d already said them, and that ought to be the end of it. What was the sense of telling this woman he wanted her like he never had wanted any woman, and likely never would again? "I’m glad you didn’t kill Shandy, Mordecai." “Yup.” Just a Httle delay, was all. "What stopped you a while ago?” “Ree.” Ree wouldn’t horn in again, though. He’d promised, along With al! that mysterious talk about things being up to Mordecai now. Rhoda was smiling, and as Mordecal watched her he thought he was beginning to get the hang of -what Ree had been talking about It struck Mordecai so bard and it was such a big idea that he unfolded tt carefully, something like fanning out a grasshopper’s wing real slow and easy so as not to hurt it or miss any of the colors. Was Ree hinting that if Mordecai put Shandy under, when it wasn’t pure necessary, then Rhoda would be sure he was the hell-sparking savage she’d sometimes called him ? But if he didn’t do it then she’d think . . . Just what would she think ? That she’d managed to get in a lick of civilizing on a wild man during the trip from St. Louie ? Or did it go some farther than that? » --• - MuWK’iF’Sj, '

ies, but mostly clear skies were predicted for the Mississippi Valley eastward. r_. COURT NEWS Estate Case The proof of mailing of notice to all interested persons in the estate of Mary E. Welch in the matter of final settlement was filed. A certificate of clearance was- filed. The final report was submitted, examined°and approved. The co-administrators were ordered to make distribution in compliance with the terms of the final report. y ; Trade in a good town — Decatur.

Mordecal had to think on it, and it wasn’t the kind of thinking he was used to. Rhoda made it tougher for him, the way she was standing there like she might be inviting him to leave some ponies tied in front of her lodge. Get away from that Injun thinking, dang it, Mordecal told himself. He was still wrastling things around tn hie head, and Rhoda was waiting, when Old Gabe spoke from real close, “Mord!” Ree was with him. Mordecal gave them the Indian sign to go away. “Got to palaver a little,” Old Gabe said. “Frederick just told ua private—American hired Shandy, sure enough. The dirty fish-eating, underhand—" he looked at Rhoda and didn’t finish. "Seems I mentioned something about that myself,” Mordecal said irritably, as he watched Rhoda go into her lodge and pull the door flap closed. “We didn’t disbelieve you none,” Old Gabe said. “We figured you was going to rub him out.” The gaunt brown face peered hard at Mordecai. Mordecal glanced at Ree. Ree was looking off Into distance like he was already a thousand miles away. “He’s your Injun now, hoss, Mordecai said to Bridger. Old Gabe nodded. "We figure to give him a pony and a bow and arrers and turn him loose. Some was for Stripping him bare and giving him nothing. I ain’t so sure but what that ain’t the best wsy myself;* “Tour Injun," Mordecai said. He watched Ree and Old labe go back to the counter, and pretty soon, followed by jeers and curses, Shandy started out of camp on a miserable pony, saddleless. The Rocky Mountain men fired over his head. Good enough. It was Injun pun- i. ishment Shandy was getting. Tou could kill a man without disgrabing him, but when you left him alive in scorn, that was something he never could wipe out. Mordecai looked back at Rhoda's lodge. “What are you doing in there?” “Just a minute!” It was some more than a minute before she came out. Mordecai didn’t have to do any more thinking then. He knew. She was dressed tn beautifully decorated white doeskin and her hair was braided once more. Her eyes were soft and shining. Mordecal put Old Belcher down and went over to her. After a while they saw the Reverends Slocum and Arnwine coming up the slope. That Slocum, he wasn’t such a bad hoss, at that Mordecal felt sorry for him. THE END

Resignation Os Dulles Shocks Allied Nations LONDON (UP!)— The resignation of Secretary of State John Foster Dulles hit Europe with sorrow and shock today, although it was not unexpected. Diplomats frankly admitted that the Western alliance was losing one of its strongest—if not the strongest — figures at a critical point in East-West relations. i Many of these diplomats frequently had differed with Dulles on his approach to international events and he had not always been the most popular secretary of state. But all sympathized with him in his moment of personal tragedy. His departure was no surprise and no doubt the Geneva foreign ministers conference on May 11 would go on as scheduled. But the West’s No. 1 ambassador had departed, weakening the free world’s position. < The decision of West German Chanellor Konrad Adenauer to step out of the active political arena and move up to die West German presidency already had struck the West a serious bloweven though Adenauer will remain in office until after this summer's East-West meetings. Now Dulles’ surrender to cancer has added to the serious shortage of leaders just when the West is gearing for a probable summit meeting with communism’s toughest negotiator — Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. A saddened British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan told the House of Commons: “This is indeed sad news. President Eisenhower once referred to I Mr. Dulles as a dedicated man. 'From my long experience-of him I know how true this is. French President Charles de Gaulle got the word in the midst of a Paris cabinet meeting. Even diplomats at the Soviet embassy in London expressed emotion when informed of Dulles' resignation. “Leaving policies aside, the man’s devotion to his principles was indeed admirable,” a Soviet spokesman said. Many European diplomats believed much of the weight of Western leadership now would fall on Macmillan. But even if Macmillan is able to win support from all the Allies, there remains a vast vacuum since Dulles was the one man trusted by Eisenhower, the American people and by such men as Adenauer and Korean President Syngman Rhee to speak on behalf of the world’s free peoples. Cash Is Stolen From Cedar Chest In Home A theft incident was reported to the city police department Tuesday evening that occurred during the afternoon hours at a home located in th£ south part of,the city.
