INSANITY IS
PROBABLE
PLEA

MARTINSBURG, w. va, Jan.
8.The trial of Walter Crabtree,
S6, who during the early morning
OF last December 18, shot and
killed three Romney, Hampshire
! county, residents and wounded
several others, will probably be
held In the town where the muir
ders occurred on January 13.
Although Crabtree's counsel is
expected TO request a change Of
venue. it is believed in Romney
that the trial will be held there.
Authorities will oppose such a
enotion, pointing out that there
has been no manifestation against
the; triple murderer at any time
there and that he will be given q
fair and impartial trial.
JUDGE "A WITNESS
Judge A. Jay Valentine, of Par
sons, will preside and his ruling
viii be the deciding factor in any
appeal. Judge G. K. Kun1p, who
s5fesides over that circuit which
includes Hampshire county, Is q
material witness in the case.
The judge was a guest in the
home of Justice H. c. Inskeep, one
Of Crabtree's victims, and was the
4irst TO answer the killers sum-
mons when the latter visited the
AnSkeep home on his tour of
death.
Crabtree'S counsel is a matter Of
speculation in Romney, number
bf prominent attorneys being
linked by rumor with the case. At
torneys Robert White and j. S.
Zimmerman, of Romney, will as
sEist Prosecuting Attorney Thomp-
son with the States side Of the
case, it is said.
MAY PLEAD INSANITY
While there is no authentic In
Formation on which to base the
statement, it is believed in Rom
.ney that Crabtree will plead in
sanity.
u The Hampshire county grand
eury has been called for January
9 and if the jury brings in the ex-
pected true bills against Crabtree
his case will probably be set as
the first on the docket with court
sConvening next Monday.
Il Crabtree is still in jail at Key,
ser.

COUNTIES BUY PARK
Shakamak Will Be Made
Recreation Center.

Shakarnak was the Indian name
for Eel river and, freely translated,
means the River Of the Long Fish.
Shakamak state park is being pur-
chased by three counties, Greene,
Clay and Sullivan, and the park lies
where the three conjoin.
The citizens of this area long have
felt the need of an outdoor recrea-
tional area for the welfare of the
large working population. The area
Of over 1000 acres, which the park
will include, consists of rugged and
wooded country. The timber is not
virgin, but fast is approaching the
aspect of a fine woods. In the area
is an old railroad fill upon which
the road was never built and which
is intended to be used as dam for
the formation of an artificial lake
of about sixty acres; first, for its
scenic value and secondary for the
use of fishermen.
This park will be developed for
the use of large crowds and this
will mean shelter houses, adequate
water supply, sanitary conveniences,
swimming pool, camp sites, picnic
groves and possibly a large outdoor
amphitheater.
The town closest to the area is
Jasonville and good highways lead
directly to it.

GAME IS PROTECTED
State Buys $4,000 Acres of
Brown County Timber.

Through the great increase in the
sale of fish and game licenses the
division of fish and game of the de-
partment has secured sufficient
funds to purchase approximately
$4,000 acres of timbered land in
Brown county, lying just south of
Nashville. This is known as the
Brown county game preserve.
No hunting of any sort is per-
mitted and it is expected to become
a great breeding place for game,
animals and birds of all sort from
which thy will migrate to replenish
surrounding counties.
BY an act of the last legislature
the state was authorized to sell the
meander lands of the Kankakee
river in the old English Lake dis
tricts. A portion of these, consist
ing of approximately $500 acres, ly-
ing between the great levees in this
district, has been decided to the state
by the adjoining owners and is now
known as the Kankakee game pre-
serve.
This district, before it's dissertation
by drainage, was the resting and
feeding place of myriadS of water
fowl, the habitat of thousands OF
r-bearing animals, the greatest
fishing grounds in the midwest and
contained a magnificent flora.

TURKEY RUN is
TYPICAL Bit OF
EARLY INDIANA
285 Acres of Virgin Timber
in Park; Inn Is First
of Park Hotels.

The many thousands who come
back to Turkey run every year are
ample evidence of its many inter
ests and beauties. Turkey Run State
park represents the finest of that
interesting landscape for which

The park of 1,070 acres, practi-
cally all of which is heavily wooded,

ical bit of Indiana before the white
man.
Scattered through this primitive
area are great walnuts, yellow pop
lars, white oak, red oak, wild cherry,
beech, sycamore and maple. Run
ming back from the creek proper
are deep gorges cut into the sand
stone at the time of the glaciers.
These are characterized by high
walls cut into rock, deep clefts re-
firing beneath the walls and the
beauty Of the many different types
Of plants and small trees which
cling to the faces of the cliffs.
Turkey Run inn is the original
state park hotel and has been noted
for years for the excellence of its
simple service. 1t has an overnight
capacity of $50 guests in its two
large brick buildings and cottages.
The cottages contain sleeping rooms
only. It's famous chicken dinners
are served on Sundays Reserva-
tions should be made to Turkey Run
inn, Marshall, Ind.

foot trails which lead to the many
points of scenic and historic inter-
est such as rocky hollow, turkey run
hollow, Lusk house, log cabin, log
church and walnut grove. Trails
are plainly marked with numbers
which are followed easily. Small
trail maps may be had at the hotel.

SHOWS VALLEY
AT ITS BEST
Great Sweeping Panorama
of Ohio River Afforded
at State Park.

At Clifty Falls the Ohio valley
is seen at its finest. The view of
the great valley from the head

to furnish simple, wholesome and
economic service. It is characterized
by comfortable beds, Immaculate
housekeeping, well-cooked food and

STATE is PROUD OF
BEAUTIFUL PARKS
Especial Care Is Taken of
Recreation CenterS by
Department.

A state park in Indiana consists
of an area of natural landscape,
largely wooded and preferably hav-
ing within it's boundaries unusual
scenic features.
The area should be not less than
500 acres. Accessibility by automo-
bile is indispensable. A railroad or
an interurban running to or near
the park is desirable.
The park having been designated,
the problem of development begins.
Not the planting of flowers in
geometrical beds, no ornamenttaion
with whitewashed boulders and iron
mongers' statuary, not cement
walks, not whitewashed tree trunks
nor driveways other than for util-
ity. The task is to make available
to the public the beauties and sights
of the area, preferably on foot,
without despoiling the natural land
Scape.
Landscape can not be appreciated
and studied intimately from an au-
tomobile. One real motive in visit
ing such a park is relief from the
hustle and hurry and ugliness at
tendant upon our civilization.
Must Have Pure Water
Water must be provided. Springs
are not reliable for purity. This
often presents a serious problem.
Sanitary arrangements are import
ant. Visitors must be protected
from danger of bodily injuries.
The department has developed
and successfully put to test a plan
whereby the park pay their own
way. The state, with what assist
ance can be secured locally Gotten
very materiaD first must invest the
capital in procuring paths, water,
essential roads and sanitary facll-
tiles and an adequate hotel build
ing.
Up to this point the funds are de-
rived from appropriation and pop
ular subscription. Having provided
for visitors. a gatekeeper is installed
during the park season and charge
of 10 cents a person is levied. No
charge is made for SMALL children,
and during a continued stay at the
park the dime only is paid upon first
entrance.
This charge for entrance upon a
public preserve is collected because
the citizen who has the op 5rtunity
and desires so to use it .ould pay
more than the taxpayer Who does
not. Likewise, many Wis .ors from
outside the state contribute.
Comfortable Hotels Built
The state erectS buildings for hotel
purposes and leases them to care
fully chosen concesSionaires. Hotels
are indispensable for the housing OF
the many who use the parks for va
cation purposes Complete control by
the state of prices charged is en-
bodied in the leases. o.
The hotels are extremely simple IN
construction and furnishings. They
are in no sense fashionable resorts
Guests lounge and eat in their hik-
ing clothes. Accommodations are
to be had as low as $3.50 per day,
including both room and meals.
The people and the state hold the
common stock in a going concern
which has sufficient income for op-
Grafton and pays huge dividends In
health and haDDineSS.

VACATION HAVEN
MAY Be SAVED
Huge Forest Preservation
Asked of Congress.
By Science Serrice

By Science Serrice
WASHINGTON, May 31.-A great
stand of virgin forest, dotted
throughout with hundreds of lakes,
will be preserved as great recrea-
tionaI area, if the Shipstead-Nolan
bill is passed by congress.
This wildwood region, abounding
with fish, game, natural camping
sites and beautiful scenery, is partly
in northern Michigan and partly in
adjoining Canada. 1t includes in
it's area the present Superior ma
tioal forest, but takes in much more
territory.
laws that have been passed and
forgotten are the following:
Missouri law says that speeds in
excess of twenty-five miles an hour
are unlawful for passenger cars un-
der any conditions. Yet forty miles
an hour is permissible for busses.
Mississippi provides that any one
driving car who fails to come to
full stop when passing a church,
a school house, an animal or pedes-
trian is liable to be fined or given
a jail sentence or both.

the need for highways.
Although detours are now pro-
vided at almost every place where
construction is under way, these
points often can be avoided entirely.
An inquiry at the nearest A. A. A.
motor club will assure up-to-the-
minute information.
The A. A. A. said that III 1929
there were an average of 327 de-
tours throughout the southeastern
section, ranging from 274 in Janu-
ary to 357 in August. In 1928 there
were an average of 381, ranging
from 319 in December to 408 in
February.
The survey revealed similar con-
ditionS in the northeast.
