IF We keep on at this pace, we will

was an excuse for the situation last

When Haywood Register fell NOR

leaden hail from an ambuscade or Of
ficeFs, Sheriff "Bob" Baker finished
a job he undertook four years Z
when he set out TO exterminate the
notorius Ashley gang.
Register died with his boots on
and with his guns blazing defiance az
the officers who attempted return
him to the state -penitentiary and a
life sentence for murder.
The last member Of the gang Of
desperadoes who from their hidden
retreats deep in the swamps Of the
Everglades prcyed for years on the
villages along the Florida East Coast,
escaped last December 5 from the
state ~penitentiary at Raiford.
Yesterday ne walked into an m
bush, arranged with the aid Of a
friend Of Register whom the outlaw
last Saturday held up and relieved of
$1,000.
The victim conferred with Sheriff
Baker, and when he went 70 keep a
rendezvous with Register near a
canal at Boynton, II miles south Of
here, he was followed BY Baker and
his deputies. Baker, hidden behind

GEORGE TAFT, district manager

Says that a new directory is TO
be compiled in February.
And urges that subscribers look
up their correct house numbers and
street names, and mail them to the
company's office here.
While the last directory was be-
ing corrected Mr.. TAFT put an en-
ploye on the telephone to endeavor
to secure correct addresses.
No result. Few of the patrons
called knew their house numbers,
and some Of them didn't yer know

they lived.

various links Of the Valley, includ-
ing those at Edinburg. McAllen,

Those northern golf players can
not be blamed for wanting a round

The Valley hopes to entertain

brisk stage.
All Of them have been getting
their share of the tourist business.
In addition. the tourist parks have
been getting along gloriously.
And efficiency apartments are
about all taken for the winter
months.
Some estimates are that there are
more than 10000 ' sitors in the VAL

IL comparative figures were avail
able it probably would be found
that the number is larger than in
any previous winter in the Valleys
recent history.
And anyone who doesn't agree
with these figures, is welcome to
make his own accounting.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 23.-Legal-
~ acquitted and legally not acquit-
ted Is the legal result Of the muir
der trial here Of Miss Bernice Rush,
American milliner, so far as is
known only American woman ever
to face a murder charge IN Mexico.
She is well known in Mexico City
as the former owner of a large ga
shion shop, that long flourished
but when financial reverses resulted
in her bankruptcy. the motive was
created which led her to shoot and
kill Jenaro Benavente, youthful
"maSner," her common law hus-
band.
Mexican reporters have referred
to Miss Rush as beautiful. She has
a past" that was forgotten by the
long list OF her fashionable women
customers. She donated TO charity
literally during the twenty ode
years Of her prosperity, as compared
to her penniless situation now, an
object Of charity herself.
Legal Deadlock
The legal deadlock that has re-
suited will ultimately. in the ma
jority opinion of lawyers, result In
ner release. without hesitation
but quietly, Americans and Ameri-
can business firms in Mexico con-
tributed to q fund TO lessen the
hardshiDs OF her life in Belem, for
the expenses Of her trial, and TO pro-
vide a reserve for Miss Rush to get
a new start in life in some other
part Of the world when she Is freed
by the court.
As to her personality, she S Irish
with an Irish temper. She might be
described as OF uncertain middle
y with a not unattractive per-
sonality, q young woman grown Ole
fast, or an old woman retaining heI
youth. She has always been known
N Mexico as Bernice Rush, her busl-
ness name, her real one, the one OF
her old mother living back home
in the States" was not mention
ed at the trial. Through all mo-
ments OF pressure and stress during
the year that she has been IN Be
lem since Christmas eve Of 1928
when she shot Benavente, she has
zealously guarded as a secret the
name OF her home, known TO be III
Indiana, for the sake Of her aged
mother. Louisville. Kentucky, was
recorded as her official home, and
Bernice Rush as her name.
~Casar" Tangle Result
The legal tangle that has de-
veloped as a result Of the trial is
simple in one sense and complex
in another. Had the jury acquitted
her by unanimous vote she would
have walked out Of the court a free
woman a few minutes later. Had
the vote Of the nine talesmen been
seven TO two for acquittal, Judge
Ernesto Cara could not have re-
sorted to the legal step he did to
block the defense's victory. But ac-
cording to Mexican law the vote
that was rendered. six for acuuittal
and three for conviction, furnished
an opportunity that the court took
Of annulling, repeating. or abrogat-
