Synopsis: Seven men heard the shot, saw Roger Pell fall dead - not one could tell the police who fired it. A weird drama had been enacted before their eyes - Pell turning on his chiet ehemy Par son Marling. threatening to pro- duce a ghost" for the trembling padre. Pell stopped to unbolt the library door, a pistol exploded, Pell dropped. Inspector Wayne re- fuses to believe the story but seven spectators insist. He searches all. finds no pistol No one has left the room, shot through q win dow is ruled out. An interruption Professor LaXton. who failed to arrive at the intended seance over buried treasures, is found in the corridor unconscious.

SCOUT FUND
DRIVE OPENS
Brownsville Committee Will
Seek to Raise $500
Quota

Setting as their goal $500 and
starting this afternoon toward at
tanning their objective, Brownsville
leaders in Boy Scout work are
planning to give every citizen an
! opportunity to contribute to a fund
which will be used to finance 10
cal activities, to help defray the
expense of the Valley-Wide council,
to pay off a part Of the debt on
Camp Perry and possibly to erect
a Brownsville Boy Scout hut at the
| camp on the Arroyo Colorado, near
Rio Hondo.
Arrangements for the drive we're
made at a meeting at the chamber
of commerce building Monday
| night, e. e. Mockbee, manager cf
the local telephone exchange, was
named chairman of the drive and
assistants include II. l.. Faux, w.
0. Washington, j. L. Abney, Capt.
Sterling, Sgt. Sanderson, Bascom
Cox. Stuart and w. z. Collins.
The city has been divided into IL
districts and a committee has been
assigned to visit every person liv-
ing in each Of the II districts.
The sum sought includes $500 as
Brownsville's portion of the annual
Valley-wide budget and $1,000
which vas not raised on the budget
for 1928.
This is an investment in fuSure
citizenship that we are asking the
citizens Of Brownsville to make"
Mockbee said just before the drive
started. I'VE are not asking for
gifts, we are asking people to buy
something-to make an investment
which will pay rich rewards in the
future of our city, county, state
and nation.
1--WE hope by this drive to be
able to interest enough men in Boy
! Scout work to enable us to really
organize the boys Of Brownsville.
There now are four troops in
| Brownsville. There should be at
least eight. The boys are clamor-
ing to enroll and we have no lead
ers to put at the head Of the
troops"
