Danger Area By River A week ago Sunday, when the low field between Stratton Place and the river was still dry, and much- , used as a short cut by the children who live in Stratton Place, nine year old Peter Mayclin cut across to find his sister who was playing by the river. The boy was jumping along from clod to clod when he missed a clod, and lit on a bare spot. The area was not covered with water, but he sunk in. His sister, ' Susan, saw him, and came running up, and the children joked about it. As they joked he sank deeper and deeper. A little Wolfe boy saw him as he sunk waist-deep in th muck, and ran to tell Elmer “Chalky” Winteregg, who lives nearby. y “Chalky” ran to the scene, and threw a clothesline to the boy, who then tied it about his waist. He pulled and pulled, and was about to send for the sheriff to help pull, when he finally was able target the youth from the mire. Peter was not actually injured, except for a few minor rope burns, but the incident could have been quite serious, had not help been summoned and arrived immediately. All children who are likely to play in that area should most certainly be warned'against it. A smaller child falling in the muck area might well have disappeared. An ounce of prevention is worth far more than a pound of cure in this case. It is understood that the owner of the area has been informed about the incident, ■ and will investigate to see what can be done about it. • • • • , Bugs Again Last summer’s cool, moist weather has resulted in a great increase in the number of flies and mosquitoes in Decatur this spring. For those who enjoy eating outside, mosquitoes are already a big problem. One of the best ways to eliminate troublesome insects is to eliminate dead plant or animal material. Even compost piles shuld be buried eight inches deep. Shady areas in yards should be sprayed with malathion, or some other effective insecticide. Even wet grass clippings provide a place for flies to breed. Fly and mosquito control is both an individual and community problem. Each summer the city street de- ' partment sprays the alleys and streets. This cuts down on the total population. But if home owners sit back and think that this will eliminate their problem, they are wrong. Each yard should be cleaned up, and all dead plants buried or placed in garbage cans with tightlyfitted lids. Purdue entomologists, experts on fly and insect con- - ''■< trol, point out that flies don't leave a filthy area for a . clean one. If you have a fly problem, don’t blame it on your neighbor—clean up your own yard!

Three Are Fined In Theft Os Tile, Rim A Fort Wayne trio, arrested early Sunday njprning by the city police for petit larceny, appeared in city court this morning t<» answer the charges and were released after paying fines of $lB. The trio comprised of Stanley D. Daum, 20, Edward P. Koeppe, 27, and Donald E. McFadden, 24, all of Fort Wayne, were arrested at 3:17 a. m. Sunday by Grover Odle, city police officer, when police were notified that the three men were removing a tire and rim from a car owned by Dean Reber, of 945 Walnut street. Odle sped to the scene of the theft in an attempt to apprehend the three men. Unable to locate the three, a search of the area was-* made by Odle, and city police officers, Jay Minch and Dick Mansfield. The men were seen in a car headed west on Monroe street, apprehended, and taken to the police station for questioning. The three men were then placed in the Adams county jail during the remainder of the night, but were released early Sunday when bonds were posted. Guilty pleas were entered today in court and fines of $1 and costs totaling $lB were assessed against each individual. The tire and rim stolen by the trio was found on the car in which they were riding. Another tire was found in the alley near Walnut street by the investigating officers in their search for Reber’s tire. The owner was located Sunday. Peter Hess, of 909 N. Fifth street, reported to city police that a tire was stolen from his auto which was parked in his garage at his home sometime Saturday night. The tire found in the bushes near Walnut street was that of Hess’. o— — —— o 20 Years Ago Today 0 o May 25. 1939—Special features are being planned daily for the annual Decatur street fair, which opens July 31.

r emCLC ‘ A MASTER MYSTERY by stanuey eixim

CHAPTER 20 IT TOOK George Wykoff time to find words, and when he did they came out choked with black rage. "You miserable, doubletalking monkey,” he said to Murray Kirk. “Who do you think you’re fooling around with? You think I'm so stupid I’d believe you took Lundeen’s case to prove he’s guilty and get his girl?" "No,” said Murray. "No. But It’s all right to kill time with. If I ask you about it - again, you tell me the same thing, and we go around and around that way. Is that it?" “Yes." Wykoff stood up threateningly, and Mitchell Dowd came to his feet almost at the same moment. He laid a restraining hand on Wykoff’s arm. "Listen to me, George,” he said. "Either you get hold of yourself, or I walk out of here right now. You’ve got to consider my position, too.” Murray felt an old familiar knot tighten in his belly. He had estimated from the start that Dowd's presence was his surest safeguard, because Dowd was obviously a man who wanted no part of violence. Not, at least, if he might be a witness to it. Without his company anything cound happen, and, according to Bruno Manfredi's somber philosophy, it probably would. It came as a relief when Wykoff pushed aside the restraining hand and sullenly said, “What’re you making such a fuss about? You think I want to get you mixed up In some trouble? You’re worse than a woman." Dowd's face reddened. “Maybe I am, but I’ve got sense enough to see you’re not getting anywhere thia way. Why not come to the point ? You want Kirk to drop this case, no matter who’s behind Lundeen or what he has up his sleeve. All right, put it to the man that way, and see what he’s got to say about it He’s no foot” "Thanks,” Murray said. “Only Tm not so smart either. What’s George here got against Lundeen?" Wykoff said with venom, "He’s making trouble for Ira Miller, that's what No, don’t go giving me the fishy eye, Kirk. If you don’t know how things stand between Ira Miller and me you better find out quick, because it ~ ain’t any joke. I’m not talking about somebody just happened to work along with me, y*understand. Ira Miller is like my kid brother. He’s high class and Ms wife is high class, too. They're the finest people I know in the world, and they got enough trouble without you pushing them around Kke Ira says you did. That means al! I want is to comb you out of their hair, and between yon and me, X don’t care bow I (to it!"

tensity that left no doubts about Wykoff’s sincerity, and Murray knew that he had struck a fine v.ein to explore. He laid his hand over his heart. “That gets me right here, Wykoff. But if you don’t see me crying, it’s because I already met Ira Miller. If you want my honest opinion, he is hardly what I would call the kidbrother type.” “Who wants your opinion? What do you know about It, a professional sneak like you?” Wykoff held up a trembling forefinger. "Let me tell you something, Kirk. In my whole operation there was just one man who could run a losing book and get away with it. Right in the middle of town, to the fattest district I had, Ira Miller ran a loss for me one year after another, and I never blinked an eye! He was into me for fifteen, twehty thousand dollars, and it didn’t bother me, because that's how it is with us two. "No one ever double-crosses George Wykoff, Kirk. No one, y’understand? If anyone else ran a losing book like that he knows what would happen to him. Only Ira Miller could do it, because when he said it wasn’t his fault I knew he was telling the truth. The bets went bad, the cops kept pushing for bigger graft, that’s how it went. My own accountant knew every book in the organization inside-out used to say to me, 'lra’s running in hard luck, but he’s strictly on the level.’ And he didn’t have to tell me. You think when it comes to a showdown between Ira and your cop that Ira ain’t on the level? You better think again! "So now you know something, , don’t you? And. if you got any , brains, Kirk, tomorrow you’ll tell this Lundeen to take a jump for i himself. I don’t care who’s in i back of him or why. You do what i Isay." “That’s a fine proposition," Murray said. “What do I get out i of it?" "Your neck. What more do you want ?” i "Oh, some way of backing out of the case. Take those records you were talking about. If you [ look them up right now and give , me evidence that Miller paid off Lundeen, I’m to the clear. That’s the kind of thing the people I’m dealing with would understand.” , “Yeah?" Wykoff said coldly- . "And what makes you so sure the [ records are right around here?” i "Where else would they be? i You wouldn’t keep them in a bank i vault where they could be Im- ■ pounded, would you? You i wouldn't turn them over to sorne- , body who could bring the incomei tax people down on you like a i ton of brick, would you?

Wykoff regarded him curiously. “You been wasting your time,” he said with unwilling admiratiorn "I could have used somebody like you in my business. Well,” he asked Dowd, “what do y<-u think? You think it’s all rig'it“ "I don’t see why not,’’ Lc>l said. “But you’ll have to take my word for it," Wykoff warned Murray, and when Murray looked doubtful he said, “You got a lot of gall, Kirk, the way you take over.

Boy Killed By Pack of Wild Dogs |

United Pres* International St. Louis County authorities acted today to wipe out the menace of wild dog packs In the wake of the killing of a f^ 7yearold boy by a savage band of “curs.” A United Press International survey showed concern over the possibility of similar tragedies in other areas. I ‘ Little Mark Douglas Draper was killed Saturday when he was attacked by a pack of killer strays and dragged about 75 yards behind his home. The mangled body of the son of Mr. and Mrs. Doulas C. Draper wtas found by a neighbor in the St. Louis suburb of Hazelwood. County Supervisor James H.J. McNary ordered an inquiry into the adequacy of the county’s dog catching service. He said he also would seek a Health Department report on personnel and equipment in the rabies control division. Elsewhere, Gerald Eddy, Michigan conservation director, warned there was a good possibility that a killer dog pack could turn on humans in Michigan. He said snarling packs of wild dogs roam many areas of Michigan. Eddy said the state has an

The two eseaped by running Into a bouse. ‘ Police officials to Chicago said dangerous dog packs have been seen roving in some parts of the city despite local laws prohibiting dogs from running loose. "It could happen here,” said officer Robert L. Eley of the Chicao police department’s animal shelter unit in referring to the death of the Draper boy. “It is not unusual to see dog packs in the city, especially in flie summer.” Authorities said such dog packs are found more frequently in the Chicago suburbs where dog control laws are sometimes not as strict I At Indianapolis, city and county police warned that any animal "running at large” will be picked up or destroyed, even if it has a license.

A humane society spokesman at Omaha said it was “highly improbable” that such an incident would take place in the city bei cause of a strict ordinance against > strays.
