Rev. George Blocker, cJlOred min
lister, who brutalIy assaulted his wife
and Mrs. Matte Shelby last Satur
day morning at the Iattsrs home on
Summit street. must answer to a
charge Of murder in the first de-
gree, the extreme penalty of which
is death by lethaI gas, provided con
y,ction is secured.
Mrs. Blocker died this morning ut
$3.50 o'clock at the Nine Operators
hospital, following an operation per
formed Saturday The skull was tire.
paned in an effort to relieve the con.
gesuou, but her weakened condition
prevented her from rdIlymg. Mrs.
Sh0Iby, who is confined to the coun-
ty hospital as a private patient is
reported as being in Il serious con
ditjon. due to the extreme shock 70
her nervous system as IL result of
the brutal assault made upon her by
Blocker.
Blocker gave himself up Saturday
night at 1880 o'clock when he pre-
sented himself at the 3herffs Office
and was assigned to d cell by Dep
uty Sheriff George Dugan He had
been in hiding throughout the day
in an old prospect hole a short dis
tance from the old school building,
and did not venture forth until
darkness had arrived The fact that
he was attired in a coat when he
surrendered lie ds to the belief that
he visited his home after committing
the deadly assault on his wife and
Mrs Shelby, as the latter is insis- |
tent that he did not have on a coat |
"'hen he broke into her hcmo at 6.2O |
o'clock Saturday morning. His arms |
also showed abrasions, but he says
,hese were caused while climbing out |
of prospect hole in which he had !
been hiding.
Blocker is being held in the coup- !
ty jail by Sheriff Thomas upon in

where they were given immediate
surgical attention by. Drs. Church
and Carmichael
Under the statutes of Nevada
Blocker will be charged with first
degree murder. The fact that his
wife lived almost two days follow
ing the assault makes no difference,
and first degree murder charge
would naturally follow if she had
lived for a year and day
No formal charge had been filed
in the justice court against Blocker

British Planes To
 Carry Parachutes
 For Air Travellers

London, June 16 Compulsory use of parachutes on all paSSep g'er-carry- ing aircraft is a decision of the Air Ministry which will shortly be made public.
 At present the "airway companies' carry ufebelts for their passengers when crossing the seas, but none has yet thought fit to equip its air liners with aerial life buoys.
 Then argument against the prac- tice is that such a step would initiate against the use of aeroplanes for transport, since travellers would not care even to contemplate coming to earth in so thrilling way.
 Ignoring this, the Air Ministry Is taking the line that safety first must be the rule of the air It is pointed out that at least 2.0O0 lives were saved during the war by means of para chutes used with kite balloons and, all though no form of transport can ever be free from acciden and constant risk Of accident, the peculiar nature of air travel makes it incumbent that no possible means of safety should be ignored.

GOVERNMENT AID
 ASKED BY PEOPLE OF WAR TIME TOWN
Solon Appeals to Con- gress to Tighten Bur dens of Cradock Resi- dents. :

Washington. June 1s = Residents of the Governmeu1t-bu1Bt town of Cradock, Va, have appealed to Con- gress to tighten their financial bur den.
 Strated during war times to house people who went to the aid of the government at the Portsm mouth Navy Yard, the town originally planned to accommodate 56O families when the armistice was signed and the govern 1nent stopped construction work.
 Uncle Sam. through his United States Housing Corporation. designat- i ed the town as Project Number t150A." He laid out streets, installed lights, provided school facilities and wetn to work building homes Then came the end of the war. He stopped further construction work and sold the houses already erected to the people living in them. But it is de- clared in their behalf by Representa- tive Deal, a Virginia Democrat, that he sold them based on war reneals and war wages.
 Now, according to Deal. the activi- ties of the Portsmouth Navy Yard are greatly Iessened, and wages have been reduced about 45 per cent. As a result many of the purchasers who bought on a monthly payment plan are behind in their inStallm ents. Therefore, Deal has asked Congress to adopt a joint resolution he intro- duced authorizing the Housing Cor poratfon to adjus these financial matters by eliminating the interest due and by reducing the monthly in- stal1rnents.
 He also asks that Uncle Sam dedi- cate the lights he installed, the schools he provided and the streets and sewers he built to the town, der the laws of the State Of Virginia as CradOck.
