Beaver Falls, Pa, Nov 6.-The
mysterious Beaver Falls ak murderer
took toll Of another victim last Friday
night when the lifeless body Of John
Williams, aged 80, Of Mt. Washington,
was found on the main tracks Of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Fourth
Street here. The skull was cracked
in three places on the right side and
split open at the forehead. The in
dications are that an AK or hatchet
was used by the murderer.
It is believed that Williams was
murdered in nearby house and the
body carried to the tracks to hide the
crime. The crew Of a yard engine dis
covered Williams body.
About three weeks ago the body OF
Harry Boone, aged rs, was found on
the railroad tracks at this same point
badly mangled. For a time officials
thought Boone had been struck by an
engine But friends of Boone told
police that the man had been muir
dered, they were confident, and the
body carried to the tracks to hide the
crime. The body was ordered ex-
humed for another and more careful
examination by the coroner's Office in
an effort to determine whether the
man had been murdered or had met
his death BY being struck BY an en-
CINE. Officials have made nearly 4
score Of arrests in an effort to appre-
bend the slayer.

Attorney Karl F. Phillips, Commits
sioner of Cancellation of the United

ington, who is making a brief review
Of the labor conditions in Chicago,
said:
The American working man or
woman, white or black, native born or
naturalized, busily engaged at fair
wage and under such normal working
conditions as are usually the rule,
rather than the exception, is the hap
piest, best paid, most contented
worker in the world This is the kind
OF worker, who, as the United States
secretary Of Labor, James Davis,
says, has more gold in his teeth than
other workers have in their pockets
This man or woman fully realizes
that the Government Of the people,
for the people and by the people, holds
Just as high hopes out to him as it
does to any other American citizen.
He IS satisfied to grow as his country
grows; and to progress as it prog
resses. That the false hopes of some
imaginary overnight transition do not
disturb his work or his life is evil
denced every day in the happy homes
and the many other rewards Of labor,
distributed ali over America under the
theory and practice Of the most repre-
sentative form Of Government that
man, under the divine guidance Of
God, has yet perfected"

dancing was continued until late

and going all the time until the
dance was over with. The Hol-

ent music.
The lodge was erected during the
summer and is novelty in con-
struction. The front of the large
building is built principally of pet
rified logs, giving quite rustic ap-
pearance and characteristic of this
locality There is large dancing

Hunting Season Will
Open October First

The open season for deer and
turkey starts October 1 and reports
brought in from the hills indicate
more game than usual this year.
John Butler, of Greer, reports see
ing eleven large flocks of turkey
in one day. Many deer are also
! reported and due to the fine range
conditions they are declared to be
in prime condition.
That an unusual number of
sportsmen will visit the White
mountains during October is evil
dent from the number of communi-
cations received by the Springer
vile Chamber of Commerce and re-
ports from those who make busi-
ness of plotting hunting parties to
the retreats of the game. Sports
men are expected to begin their
visits to the forests within a few
days in anticipation of good hunt
ing this year.
The limit is one deer and two
turkey to each sportsman and this
should be remembered. Game war
dens will be plentiful and the man
with the gun is cautioned to watch
his step. "If you can't see his
horns, she has none" is a slogan
worth bearing in mind, as only
male deer may be legally taken.
Remember also that a license is
required and is subject to the fol-
lowing regulations:
Open Seasons-Deer and wild
turkey, October 1 to October 81;
ducks, geese and other water fowl,
October 16 to January 81; doves,
September l to December Is;
whitewings, July Is to December
81; trout June 1 to August 81; all
other kinds of fish, open season
year around. Open seasons shown
above are inclusive of both dates.
Bag Limits-One male deer and
two turkey per season; ducks and
geese, (both included) twenty per
day; doves and whitewings, (both
included) twenty-five per day;
quail twenty per day; trout twenty
five per day. All other kinds of
fish, 25 pounds per day.
No open season on elk, antelope,
mountain goats, mountain sheep,
female deer, fawn without horns,
roadrunner, bobwhite, grouse,
pheasants, sound and insectivorous
birds, beaver, pecarry (wild hog).
Closed season on band-tail or
wild pigeons, little brown sandhill
and whooping cranes, swans and
curlews, till July 81, 1928, under
treaty law with Canada.

Old Romantic West
Passing Senators Told

No doubt of it, the old romantic
west is passing.
One sitting in the dark federal
courtroom Tuesday, listening to the
figures juggled back and forth by
witnesses before members of the
senate public lands committee in
public hearing, presently became
conscious of whisper behind the
figures. The whisper said:
The old west is passing"
In fact, it was quite apparent
that within few years at the most,
cOwpuncher in southeastern Ore
gOn won't be able to ride as far
as so miles without coming to a
fence.
This seemed to be good thing
in the opinion of w. S. Boyer, div
ision inspector of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho, and e. G. Allen,
head of the western forestry and
conservation commission.
They sought to impress on the
committeeman that it would be de-
sirable to lease range lands to
ranchers for 10-year periods, with
options of releasing. At present
yearly permits are granted by the
interior department to cattlemen.
If long rentals are permitted, it
was argued, it would be an econ
omy, because cattle owners could
then fence the ranges. They could
take better care of the lands, and
the leases would approach semb-
lance of ownership.
But the old open ranges would
be no more. The rolling hills of
sagebrush and greasewood - as
endless as the old freedom of the
west-would be cut and sliced by
barbed wire fences of newer day.
