said here last night. He charged also that the Administration is attempting to replace the! township trustee system with

system.” : “We have people in Indiana who have purposely warped the Constitution by creating a government within a, government,” he said. “For instance, we have the State Welfare Department which has grown by sueh leaps and bounds in four years that its expense has

increased by more than 800 per cent in Delaware County.”

we're out of luck at that, too. FEB. 18—Jim’s been out since 1 o'clock fishing. He got one small one this morning. We had that between us at noon. I caught three canaries this morning. It’s a crime to do it but we're going to boil them. They should make one-half cup of broth each. I've been out of my bunk only a few minutes at a time today. It’s all I can do to

stand on my legs at all. |. . FEB. 19—1I shot a- blue jay at the cabin door this morning.’ Had that boiled at 1 o'clock. Used the last scrap of grease, I've got nine cana-

ries on boiling now at 4:30 p. m.

Jim's out fishing, been out all day. . . . Jim just got back at 5 o'clock no fish he’s just about all in. I've just had a shave. Jim shaved my neck. I'm going to take a bath. Jim cooked another coon skin tonight. FEB. 20—Two thirty and nothing to eat yet. Jim was out all morning and got nothing. I've just finished putting another coon skin on to boil. It took me two hours to cut what hair off it I could. If we don’t get something to eat pretty soon we'll be kissing this old world goodbye. I haven't the strength to

get a pail of water. . . . One Canary—a Sot

FEB. 21—Jim left for other end of the lake. I clipped another coon skin and got it on boiling. I took four pictures of the cabin and scenery around. It’s something to do anyway. Put the last of the coal oil in the lamp last night. Have two candles. Got one canary, that’s a feast. Threw it in the pot with the coon skin. My legs will hardly keep me up. They're getting worse. I just ate one half of the coon skin and canary 3 p. m. Jim just got back 6 p. m. All the way around the lake and got one trout about the size he got ‘yesterday. The fish have quit biting. They say have patience, don’t swear and pray but by God in heaven it doesn’t do us a damn bit of good. Cooked another coon skin tonight. FEB. 22—Jim was out all morning, never got a nibble and no signs of fish. Got a squirrel. Ate the squirrel boiled, head and all. FEB. 23—Jim cooked a coon skin this morning and had it at noon, then he went out fishing. I got a coon skin on boiling now sn after today we won't even have thet to chew on. Jim got one trout and picked some cranberries so thank the Lord for that. . . .

~ ‘Just a Torturous Pain’

FEB. 24—2:30 p. m. and I just got out of my bunk feeling pretty dizzy. Have to lay down again. Sometimes I don't care if I eat or not and other times just la torturous pain. Jim caught two nice trout this morning and two canaries. He came in at noon, cooked the fish and we ate (me in bed) then he went right out again. He got one squirrel. : ‘FEB, 25—Jim got four canaries this morning, our breakfast. He got one nice trout, our lunch. He got 15 canaries at noon. Then went out fishing. ‘I was up for a few minutes and got one more. He got a martin, squirrel and some bark this afternoon. i FEB. 27—Jim’s legs swole up twice their size last night. Tried fishing again today. No luck. Got some more cranberries and fifteen canaries. I haven't been out of bed for four days. Jim got a raven out of a trap this afternoon so we'll have another mouthful today.

Coombs Writing

SUNDAY, MARCH 10—I was in|}

bed. Jim too tired to write. MONDAY—I was in bed. Jim took sick in the stomach—canary bone. po TUESDAY—I was in bed. Nothng at all to eat. Jim still awfully sick. | WEDNESDAY—I was in bed. Jim still sick. Caught a couple of canaries. THURSDAY—] was in bed—so was Jim. FRIDAY—I got up for a while today. Crawled around and got a fire, how, I don’t know. Caught some canaries. Can’t think straight enough to count any more. Jim can hardly move and I can’t help him. This is the worst hell either one of us has gone through. I don’t know how much longer we can stick it. I got some rain water under the drip so that will help. I'm sure God helped me get up today and gave me a little strength. I don’t know many prayers but we both do nothing day and night but pray.

‘Dear Mother vb.o

SATURDAY, MARCH 16—Jim worse today—nothing but skin and bones. I got some more canaries. I can hardly move around--so may the Lord have mercy on our souls— if we don't get out within a couple of days. Dear Mother—we have nobody to blame but ourselves. But I've been praying always for you to send a plane in. We couldn't think of hiking out when our grub got low, on account of floods, and there was one-half dozen ‘or more (prospectors) who said they would be in. So this is what we get for taking chances. | SUNDAY, MARCH 17 — Dear Mother. Jim died today at two p. m. This might be the last I'll have nerve to write so if I do anything wrong please forgive me. 1I can’t stick it any|longer. The Bible is packed in the bottom of my packsack and I haven't strength to get it out so I| can’t even say a decent prayer for poor old Jim. » |” »
