Especial to The Sentinel. !

Washington, Ind, Dec. 31.-The
bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Ritter,
both aged about 20 and wealthy, were
found at their home in Gilmore town
ship late yesterday.
Mrs. Ritter's body was discovered
in the living room. Her clothes, with
the exception of light undergar-
ment. had been torn from her and
there were marks on her neck that
indicated that she had been strangled.
Furniture was scattered about the
room and the drawers of the dresser
were rifled and the contents strewn
over the floor.
Ritter's body was found in a milk
house. 1t was in a STOPPING position.
as if Ritter had been i'll when he

committed last Friday night, as there
were no footprints in the snow about
the, Ritter home. The Ritters, who
were quite wealthy, were said to have
kept considerable money in their
house.

LOSS FROM FOREST FIRES SMALL

Any one OF these fires, II it had
been allowed to run unchecked and
burn itself out. which is usually the
case on tracts where there is no pa
troll, would have caused a loss many
times the value of the timber burned.
Private timberland owners-particu-
larly. those in the far northwest, as
well as Uncle Sam on the national
forests-haye alike proven this sea-
son that the patrol is the one sure
means of combating the forest fires,
which foresters say are the worst
enemy of the forest.
The estimated value of timber in
the national forests OF the district is
500, 900, 900. The loss from fire dur
ing the past season. therefore, repre-
sents approximately .003 per cent OF
the total value. Railroads have been
the worst offenders in the setting of
fires, 90 out of the 2S3 being as
cribed to them. "a fires were set by
campers, and 22 by lightning. Saw
mills set 3. and 13 We're caused by
the spreading of fires kndled for the
purpose OF clearing land and burning
brush. Only 4 are reported to have
been of incendiary origin.
There are 23,359,1s3 acres of ma
tional forest land within the district.
Within this vast territory there has
been but one fire during the year
that gained enough headway to be-
come at all serious. This was the
fire in the Black hills in South Da
kota, which occurred in October and
which was responsible for about two
thirds of the total loss in the dis
trict. Many of the other fires would
no doubt have been serious If they
had not been extinguished promptly.
Considering the large acreage pa
troled and the amount of timber in
volved, the loss has been exception
ally low, and the figures given are an
excellent illustration of the value OF
organized patrol of timber land.
