Costumes had been brought out from Chicago, a.nd the scene in the country hotel was put on for the enjoyment of the packed house. Friends of R. E. Tudor, of Fort Wayne, course ranger at the Wawasee golf course this summer, read to him the story in last week's Saturday Evening Post, which explained that neither skill or good management are necessary to making a hole in one. But Tudor doesn’t care if they do try to tell him its luck. One thing they can’t deny is that he shot a hole in one last Thursday. He was playing No. 9. Ed O'Rourke received word Sunday evening that his mother, Mrs. Ed O’Rourke, Sr., had died in Fort Wayne. The family left for Fort Wayne immediately, planning to return to the lake today.

They had just left Syracuse about 8:30 and on their way to the Wawasee hotel, where they were guests. It is thought that the Oldsmobile coupe approaching from the Wawasee golf course, had dropped one wheel off the cement pavement. In getting the car back on, the wheel caught in such away that it was thrown into the oncoming Cadillac. Tudor, course ranger of the Wawasee golf course, says he realized that the accident couldn’t be avoided, and threw himself in front of the two women in the car with him. They escaped uninjured, but his head was cut, on crashing through the windshield. Tudor is physical director of the Harrison high school, in Fort Wayne.'j The young ladies, teachers in Fort Wayne, had come to the lake in the coupe belonging to E. M.

SYRACUSE, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1930

there as the first step toward an air port for Syracuse. They consider it an ideal landing field, as it would have an 1800 feet i runway east and west, with prevailing winds there being from the south and west. They say the field is ideal because centrally located, on a main highway, and one block from the depot. That Syracuse business men are interested in obtaining an airport for Syracuse, something for which all small towns and larger cities all over the state are striving, is shown by the offer of the local telephone company. This company has offered to lower or bury its wires. The Standard Oil Company has agreed to put in pumps, for aviation gas, at this field. The Light Company is trying to make arrangements to move their wires so that landings can be made from north or south. Whether Syracuse has an airport |or not, a Syracuse young man will ! own a plane by next year. “I’m go- | irig to have a plane if I have to keep 'iterrn Goshen,” Joe Wilt said. He | intends to use his plane for business | and commercial work.

MAN KILLED BY UNKNOWN ASSAILANTS Body of Melvin Violett Found In Yard Os Country Home The body of Melvin I. Violett, aged 67, was found in the yard of his home, three miles out Huntington road .towards New Paris, last Thursday atfernoon, about 4 o’clock.

Violett had been carrying— water for- the threshers on the Alvert Everett farm, Wednesday afternoon. It is said he became sick and went home early. That was the last he was seen alive. Huitema went to the Violett home the following afternoon to see about getting some gravel. He found Violett lying on his back, ( in the yard in back of the house, i His hands were tied behind him with, teh suspenders from his overalls, A j blue bandanna handkerchief had ■ been loosely knotted around his | throat. It had been used as a gag, and must have fallen there after his i death. . ( Mrs. Mary Ellen Ott of New Paris, a half sister of the mureder man, I said she was mystified as to any rea-1 t son\for such a crime. She said rob- j bery could not have been the motive, j in her opinion, as Violett had never, been thought ,of as a miser who would have money hidden away. Holdeman, Coroner of ,Elkhart county, gave the verdict of death as homicide with a blunt instrument at the hands of person or persons unknown. Funeral services for Violett were, held Saturday afternoon at the New Paris Methodist church, with Rev. I R, J. Hutsinpiller officiating. i Since then Sheriff Glenn P.

(SPEED BOAT 1 BURNS-NEW e ' ONE BOUGHT i Explosion Wrecks Bill 1 Noll’s “Flash”-Buys New Hackercraft Russell Moody, chauffeur, escaped serious injury or death, last Friday t evening about 7:30 o’clock, when the - Flash, speed boat of Bill Noll .exploded and buried near the boat house at the William Noll home, on I Lake Wawasee. Noll and a party of friends were on the pier at the time of the explosion. Following the accident it' was learnj ed that Noll had just filled the tanks i of the boat with gasoline, Moody pushed the Flash part way out of the boat house to clear obstructions on teh bottom. He turned oh the ignition switch and was ready to press the starter when the explosion oc[curred, in the engine compartment. i The explosion blew the cushion seats, l and the sides of the boat down even with the water line, leaving Moody i seated on the floor of the boat. The ■ gas tanks full of gasoline and did not explode, nor burn later. His injuries aea wrenched back, cuts and a severe Shaking- up. ’ j Friends marvel at his escape from I more Serious wounds. The boat, a "Hackercraft,” was 26 ( ' feet long and towered with a KerI math 225 horsepower engine. It was customary to put gas in tbe speed boat at the boat house, from a storage tank above the boat house, on the bank. Whoever filled the tank would place the hose in the tank of the boat; and go outside to turn on "the gis.. Sometimes the tank would ru i ovdr, letting free gas i.n the bottom' of the boat, because of the ir ability for one person to see whet the tank was full. It is thought this occurred Friday. The pan of the fly wheel of the 1 engine was blown off in the explo--1 sion, along with bolts holding it 1 in place. ° Many people remarked at the number of boats corning from all parts’ of the lake, converging at the | scene of the accident on the north ’ ( shore, to offer assistance, following I the accident. ’ . The explosion had been-heard all . about the lake, the residents of the I South Shore being able to see clearly j the fire across the lake from their homes. Noll put a valuation of $3600 on the demolished “Flash.” He ordered another through the Wawasee I Boat Service. Claud Insley went to , Mt. Clemens, K’ich.,. to bring a new ' speedboat back for Noll, yesterday, j The “Flash ll.’ is four feet longer ’ than the other boat, but has the same engine and other features. “SPLASH PAJAMA” PARTY IS ENJOYED A colorful festivity was added to I the usual gaUies at the Spink WaI wasee hotel last,.
