FRANKFORT played Washington
L. at Hatchet-town Saturday night.
Frankfort won, 81 to %. That's a
surprise. Frankfort easily is the
better team, but we. did expect the
boys to let that one slide by. 1t
simply means that Frankfort ap-
parently can take the Hatchets'
measure any time, anywhere, any
how. Lawhead, Thompson and
Shaver each collected four field
goals for the Casemen. Thompson
added five free throws. That's one
thing Frankfort'S opponents should
learn. Don't foul Thompson If it
can be helped. He gets lot of
practice from that charity stripe,
and he makes them count. You

Whiteriver, Ariz., July 27- (U. PA white man, rather than an Indian, killed Henrietta Schmerler, auth critics, who delved into the mysterious staying of the Columbia University coed in lonely can- yon, believed today. While admit ting they were "without a single clue" county and federal author ities declared they are less inclined to believe the girl was killed by an Apache. Anxious to clear their tribe of the charges previously made against some unidentified brave. dozens of Apaches joined in the hunt for the girls slayer.
 Most of the Indians were per- sonally acquainted with Miss Sch merler, 25-year-old coed who ventured alone into the mountains wllds to learn if possible the tribal secrets of the Apaches and to gather information on their ways of living. She planned to write a thesis on the subject when she re- turned to college and set out upon the expedition under special grant from the university.
 Miss Schmerler was stabbed to death in canyon near the Fort Apache cemetery while going to a regular Saturday night dance July IS. Her body was found last Fri day. The ground about bore evil dence that she had struggled fierce ly.

It was apparently just golden op- portunity for him to while away an hour or two of leisure and to contemplate on future engagements He ransacked the house as is his custom, but disregarded the pre- scuce of teWclry.

MERGER TO BRING BRIDGEPORT SHOP HERE
Beardsley-Wolcott Negotiating With
 Conn. Electric
If Successful, Park City Plant Will Move Equipment Here and Spend S3OO,00O Equipping Local Fac- tOry-August Vote to Decide Issue

Merger of the Beardsley and Vol colt Manufacturing company of this city with the Connecticut Electric Manufacturing company of Bridge port loomed today with the promise of the removal of the latter con- cern's plant to Waterbury, thereby furnishing another source of em- ployment for Brass City people. k. W. Phillips, secretary of the Beardsley and Wolcott company, when interviewed early this after noon, admitted that negotiations Tor the merger are now underway ana will be further attended to August 7th when a special meeting or the stock holders and debenture hold CTS takes place.
 Notice of the meeting of August 7th will be put in the mail tonight, directed to the stockholders and debenture holders. These persons, either personally or by proxy, will be asked to approve the merger.
 Their approval, however, will not consummate the deal as the final negotiations tending towards and closing of the proposition will de- pend upon the appraisal of the assets of the local plant and the finishing of arrangements with banks concerning finances How ever, the vote of August 7th will form one of the important links in the carrying out of the deal.
 Should the merger go through, the Bridgeport concern will move all it's equipment to Waterbury and continue it's manufacturing activi- ties at the Beardsley and Wolcott plant. In addition, the Bridgeport Electric Manufacturing company will spend between $200,000 and $300,00O on the local plant equip ping it further for the work to be carried on.
