 Lead Assassin

morning hours just prior to his death,
 Miller, assistant night foreman at a mining company's plant, who has lived here for 12 years, said he had met the priest while going home from work yesterday morning and the priest had told him he was respond ing to a call from a family in the third house from the round house in Bender Park" There was no person with the priest, he said.
 The family which the priest was to have called on was l.. C. Decory who declared he had heard no shooting and had not summoned the priest.
 Miller made the following state nent to the police today:
 T had just come off shift and was on my way home about 3:30 and had reached a point on Main street be- tween the Neil store and the Alert fire station when Father Belknap passed me. walking very fast. When he reached the corner at the Glover residence, Father Belknap stopped and waited for me to catch up with him. When I did so, he introduced himself to me and asked the direc- tion to the home of a certain party, who, he said, lived in the third house in Bender Park. The name given me, I cannot remember.
 Last to See Priest Alive
 ''He said there was a sick woman in the house and he had been called to attend her. He then said: Gen orally 1 make these trips in my car but I went out to the garage this morning and found it broke down. It looks as though some was trying to steal 1t. I heard the car honk dur ing the night, got up and went to the window and looked out but did not see anyone
 T then walked with him to the top of the hill crossing the railroad tracks and when We got where we could see the house, the third one pointed it out to him. He evidently did not go to the house, for the people who live there were just over here and say that no one called dur ing the morning at their place.
 T believe now that the murderer may have intended to kill Father Belknap sooner than he did, but post poned it when he saw me talking to the priest. I was shocked to hear of the murder when I got up yester- day afternoon"
 Police today examined Father Bel knap'S automobile which had been tempered with prior to the tragedy, and reported that it has been tam pered with by an expert mechanic. A local mechanic assisted the police in examination of the machine.
 Priests from many parts of west ern South Dakota are planning to att tend the funeral here Saturday morning.
 Bishop J. J. Lawler at whose resi- dence Father Belknap made his home, will officiate at solemn hign requiem mass. Later the body will be sent to Dubuque, Iowa, for burial, accompanied by a guard of honor of the Knights of Columbus.

 In regard to the report of the work for this year, I think that I cannot better than quote part of a letter which I wrote on October l, 1921, to Colonel Filmer manager of the Pacific division of the American Red Cross:
 We feel that our ex-soldier prob lem is a national rather than local one as at least 90 per cent of every 100 men on our books has never seen Arizona before. and it seems hardly fair to ask Arizona to bear this en- tire burden
 During the present stringency- with the slump in copper, cotton and cattle, it is impossible to call on our own people for the financial support necessary to carry on this service work
 Until last ear Arizona went over the top in every drive for funds and all our undertakings met with sym pathetic and generous response. Two years ago, in the expectation that our work would soon lessen and eventually would be taken over by other agencies, we refrained from having a driN and sent our quota of s9,000 from our treasury to the National Red Cross. In the light of the present scarcity of money, this seems unfortunate but we did not foresee hard times nor the long continued demand for Red Cross work
 As this letter may eventually go to those knowing little or nothing of our chapter, think 1t is only fair to state that Mrs. Dennett and I (the only chairmen since the opening of the service section) have been vol unteer workers and that we have been exceedingly careful regarding the expenses of th's section. All of- flee furnishings, desks. files. type writers, etc, have been donated and we have kept ou- rentals down to the minimum. A the present time we have three rooms, one and one-half of which we sublet to the federal vocational bureau. Although our of flee work is decidedly taxing. we have but one paid worker.
 Note: Since the above was writ ten the vocational board has moved out. as they needed larger quarters, and we are now us ng one and one half rooms for the Red Cross, the other portion being rented to the Welfare league.
 Personally, I should be very glad to see the work the Red Cross has been doing taken over by one of the government bureaus. but at the pres ent time none of them are equipped or authorized to do this service work and I should dread the effect on the discharged men of closing our office.

 Howdy, folks! As it has been quite while since I sent an epistle to the Pulaskian, l decided on this fine Easter Sunday to try to scratch up a few lines.
 Everything hereabouts seems to be from mild to rushing and boom ing.
 All of the farmers seem to be we'll up with their spring work. Some of them are making quite extensive improvements about their farms in the way of putting up new fences and repainting their houses.
 The prospects are quite promising for fair fruit crop. The general health is excellent. There have been a couple of weddings in our town in the past two weeks. It seems that Cupid is still maneuvering about, trying to get a shot at more hearts.
 One of our townsmen, Edward Marshall, sailed away to the city of England, in Lonoke county, last Sat urday.
 We have one real fisherman in our town. John Blaylock Jr. says he caug six trout the other day, and each one of them was as long as his arm-or, in other words, each one of them was about 24 inches long. There was a big Easter egg hunt at Sam Thompson's, over on Cane creek. last Sunday.
 J. A. Lindsey has moved his saw mill out of our town up into the mountains about four miles.
 The wind seems to be regular March wind. But the weather is as mild as May. And Miami, Fla, hasn't thing on us this spring in the way of weather. That comet is so close to the earth that 1t is said 1t is going to bump into us on June 26, and that may be causing the heat, but we don't think so.
 Some paclflsts say we should do away with our armies and navy and destroy all of our munitions of war, and we should have peace. So be it. But who will be the first to disarm? I think the Almighty God will have to change human nature before we shall have real universal peace.
 One of our old time friends, Mil ton Andrew Blaylock, of Jones City, Okla, was visiting in our town the past week.
 There is an organizer in our town disturbing the peaceful slunlbers of the farmers, trying to get them to join the Farmers Union. That is all right, if they will just only stick.

The committee reported their communities well or ganized for growing and producing their feed and food stuff. Local Agent John M. Harris, expressed himself as being highly pleased with the work of the committee and urged upon them the importance of thor ough cooperation on the part of every one in their respective com munities and to do all in their power to help raise the moral standard. lie also stressed the importance of sanitation and it's importance in each community. With much emphasis he urged every one to thoroughly prepare their seed bed whether in field or garden.
