CONNERSVILLE, Ind, June T.
Mrs. Elda Simmermeyer, 81, was
on her way back to her farm today,
following acquittal last night by a
jury Of charges of killing her hus-
band, John Simmermeyer.
1t took the jury less than half an
hour to find her not guilty.
Taking the stand in her own de
Tense just before the trial closed,
Mrs. Simmermeyer gave her version
Of the shooting of her husband. She
said a rifle was accidentally dis
charged while she and her husband
were struggling over it. She was
rigidly crOss-examined.
The prosecution attempted to
prove Mrs. Simmermeyer shot her
husband after a quarrel ia which he
said to have accused her of i'm
moral relations with a farm hand.

Pete blessed the gods of the storm.
He turned with a radiant smile
that seemed to light his homely face.
Don't worry, Mrs. Newhall," he as
sured the girl. Wen take care Of
you and make you comfortable if it
blows the mountains over"
She was strangely, deeply CRATE
full, and her warm color deepened as
she answered his smile. I'm not
afraid, Pete. I know you'll look
after US"
And now the squat at sea was be
ginning to resemble a real hurricane.
Tho first few drops of cold rain, like
fine shot, began to lash down at
them before a race-horse wind; and

Dorothy and Ivan both were glad

dissolved in drenching gusts of rain.

She moved neare to him, and he
pointed out things Of interest. Once
he showed her a flock Of beach
geese. lifting tall heads from the
shore; often hair-seal rolled up with
the combers, and once he showed her
what he thought to be that most
rare Of marine animals, a sea otter,
playing in a floating bed Of kelp. OF
sea life there was an abundance
porpoises playing beside the ship. a
whale blowing far off, once the long,
dark fin of a basking-shark, chasing
salmon in the mouth Of a long, deep
ly cut bay. Maybe I'll get to show
you a Kodiak bear, too" Pete told
her. "Then you'll get the thrill of
your life"
He showed her the high, glittering
Pavlof volcano, and her towering
sister peak, one Of the most sym
metrical mountains in the world.
She felt increasingly glad that
Bradford had selected him for the
head guide. She saw with pleasure
that he was personally immaculate
his blonde beard trimmed until it
was almost distinguished looking,
his rough garb well kept and clean.
She had a feeling that, should one
of the rolling waves rise UP and
overwhelm the boat, his would be a
strong arm to rescue her. At pres
ent, however, the seas were com
paratively placid, easily rolling, the
sky blue overhead, the warm late
September sun pouring genially
down ON the deck.
II believe we're going to have the
best Of weather." she told him.
Pete hesitated. Il don't like the
way the clouds lie on the hills" he
told her soberly. We're bound to
have good weather for a day or two,
I should ~say-likely time in plenty
to get where we're going. OF course
no one can tell in these uproarious
waters. After a few days there's
going to be a change in weather,
and what that means, no one knows"
1t was Pete, who later brought
fruit to her stateroom, opened a
jammed window, and with the finest
courtesy put himself at her service.
The Warrior rounded the PENN
sula, then turned northeast along
the south shore of Boring Sea. For
the first three days the good weather
prevailed without a break, but the

ranges dropping sheerly off into the
sea, and here the waves broke in
great, approaching, shimmering
clouds of spray. BEYOND these many

Range, a wonderful divide Of sharp,
Jagged snow-swept peaks. There was
no sign that man had gained a foot
hold here, never a village or roof, a
trapper's hut or a camp fire. Thus

land invoked in Dorothy. AS she
pushed through the deep moss, up

to her as never before.

Pete's blue eyes studied the sky.

GOOD HIGHWAYS
PUT STATE FRUIT
CROP ON MARKET
Southern Indiana Growers
Now Find Big Orchards
Profitable.

For the first time in the history
Of the State Southern Indiana fruit
raisers are able to market their
products through profitable and reg
ular market centers, it vas learned
today from officials Of the State
highway commission and the State
entomologist's office.
While fruit is raised almost every
where in the State, according to
Frank Wallace, entomologist, the
Southern Indiana crop has never
had an outlet because of the impass-
able conditions of the roads in that
part of the State.
Offers $4,000 Cash
One fruit farmer, who ven now
has to travel a long distance to get
TO a State road, recently said that
he would pay $4,000 in cash to
build a short connecting road to
help get his crop to the northern
Indiana markets. The old market
ing method was to send the crop,
via aerial cable down to the Ohio
River, where the obtaining of ship
ping facilities was most uncertain.
Now the fruit farmer reaches In
dianapolis, a wholesale center for
such Gre ps, and dispcses of the crop
that in the years before rotted in
the orchards.
The network of State improved
reads running through southern In
diana opens up that fertile district
to trade with other parts of the
State and actually with the whole
middle west generally.
Reach Railroad Centers
Individual crops of more than
so, 900 bushels of peaches are now
reaching railroad centers, especi-
ally Indianapolis, for distribution
throughout the United States. Be
fore, even with the best kind of serv-
ice on the Ohio River. most Of the
crop was lost annually because of
inaccessibility of the districts.
Further development of the State
road program, already serving every
town in the State over $500 popu-
lation with 1000 miles of improved
highways, will make it a simple mat
ter for the most out-of-the-way or
chard to reach profitable markets,
It Is said.
