Two figures, prominent on Broadway, were in the news again, as Miss Doris Dudley, young actress, recovered from a gunshot wound. Sidney Kingsley, noted playwright, and winner of the Pulitzer prize in 1934, was the other principal in the case. Police described the superficial chest wound as self-inflicted, while the actress’ father, Bide Dudley, dramatic critic, contended it was accidental.

I'OR M ER RESIDEN T PASSES A WAV AT HOME NEAR MARTINSVILLE . _ V « William E. Brown, age 61 years, a former resident of Greencastle. died Tuesday morning at 9 oclock at his home eleven miles east of Martinsville. Death followed a stroke suffered a week ago.

the primary elctcion Several called for ballots at the i various precincts between tiie hours , of 6 and 8 a m. but as a whole vot- j ing was slow. This was probably due to the fact that with exception of the congressional race, there was only one contest for nomination on the Democratic ticket, I list of conitnis sioner. and only two contests on the t Republican county ticket, for sheriff ami commissioner. The main attention centered on the I Republican and Democratic congressional contests. Greencastle anil Putnam county voters were especially interested as Wilbur S Donner. former circuit court judge, was seek ing the nomination over five othci candidates. Gleiulon Rightsell. ol Rcelflville, also sought the Democratic nomination from Virginia K Jcnckes, present incumbent, and Aianson L. Albright. Opposing Donner in the Republican race were Noble .1 Johnson, kolix Blankenbaker, William H. Bowman. Thomas L. Cooksey, and Earl M

Mann.

William Eitcljorgc and E K. Tinchcr sought the nomination for county commissioner of the Second district on the Democrat ticket. Lawrence Graham and Logan S Woodrum were seeking the Republican nomination for sheriff, and Gwin Ensign ami Elmer R. Sly were in the other contest on the Republican ticket for the Second district commissioner’s nomination. The vote in the Greencastle precincts was running slightly better than 25 percent at noon North Second reported 122 ballots cast at U. iO p. m. South First reported 117 shortly before 12 o'clock and North Third had 75 around the noon hour. Indications were that the vote will
