~ BRUCE CATION

ONE kind Of writer that this
~ country hasn't enough of is the
local historian-the chap who is
willing to spend laborious hours dig
ging up the history of his own town,
and who is able to write about his
discoveries entertainingly when his
spade work is completed.
A fine example of that sort Of
book is Historic Salisbury" by
Charles J. Truitt. In this book,
published on the 200th anniversary
OF his towns incorporation, Mr..
Truitt gives a very readable and CO.
herent story of how Salisbury, Md,
was founded, how it grew, what sort
OF adventures its early settlers had
and who its leading citizens have
been; and it's the sort of book that
ought to be written more often.
To be sure, the appeal of such
book is apt to be limited: yet this
reviewer, who never has been with
in many miles of Salisbury, got real
enjoyment out of this history of
what must be a most charming
place.
Historic Salisbury" is the sort of
book that ought to appear more fire.

HIGHWAY DEATH
SUSPECT STILL
HELD PRISONER
Hancock Officials Seek to
Learn If Lost Wife
Is Alive.

~ mrs NUCHf1t
GREENFIELD, Ind, Jan. s.
Hancock county authorities today
are centering their efforts in at
tempt to learn if Mrs Margaret
Baldwin, missing wife of Freeman
Baldwin, Fortville, disabled World
war veteran, is dead or alive.
Baldwin, taken into custody Fri
day as a suspect in the supposed
Staying Of his wife, still is a pris-
oner in the county Jail here, and
Sheriff Frank H. Stottlemyer was
uncertain today as to when he will
be released.
Despite evidence that Mrs. Bald
win was alive Nov. 8, a month and
two days after the unclothed body
Of a woman wrapped in a tent was
found in Henry county at the in
tersection Of Road 40 and the FIT.
Wayne road, the authorities are
reluctant to release Baldwin.
Teacher Gives Evidence
Mrs. Myrenia Inman, teacher in
the schools of Moral township,
Shelby county, who was we'll &C
quainted with Mrs. Baldwin, as
serts she conversed with her in the
Traction Terminal at indianapolis
on Nov. 8, and that she stated she
was awaiting arrival of a brother
from st. Louis and intended to re-
turn with him.
According to the teacher, Mrs.
Baldwin gave her the name of an
indianapolis factory where she was
employed, but it is said at the fac
tory she never worked there.
Analysis Being Made
It was learned today that an
analysis is being made for state
police of what is believed to be the
blood on linoleum taken from a
floor in the Baldwin home and on
the tent in which the body found
at the roadside was wrapped.
Mrs. Baldwin disappeared from
Fortville March 7. Early in Novem-
Der, Baldwin obtained a divorce at
Greenfield and on Dec. l he and
Mrs. Lula Barger of Whiteland,
Johnson county, were married.
Search for the missing woman Is
hampered by lack Of an accurate
description. She is about 40, and
the only distinguishing mark is
brown line on the forehead at the
point where the hair begins.

he felt that his proper opening

bid in diamonds, as he did not want
to prevent a lead in that suit.
West realized that South probably
was out of diamonds and, with
East's heart bid, it left South's side
strength as clubs.
To open the ace of clubs probably
would be to establish South'S side.
Therefore, when the hand was
played, West elected to open the
king of diamonds.
Mrs. Carl T. Robertson of Cleve-
land, who has held several national
auction championships, sat in the
East and made a gallant attempt to
set the contract by playing the ace
of diamonds over partners king.
South, however, trumped with the
deuce of spades
AS this play had been made by an
expert, it was quite obvious to the
deClarer that East was endeavoring
to get in the lead
Certainly not to lead a heart, be-
cause the declarer holds the ace and
king, but in all probability to lead a

Therefore, the declarer should not
attempt to enter the dummy by
playing a club, because if West has
also been able to read his partners

East is marked with the king OF

Old Sheridan County

The history of Sheridan County,
or of almost any other county in
Montana, naturally divides itself into
three periods: The discovery period,
Of exploration, of clearing the way;
the exploitation period of surface
utilization, of sOd-busting; and, fin
ally, the period of accomplishment,
Of careful and intensive farming, fall
lowing, seed-selection, and prosperity
and tranquility.
First, the period of the trapper and
hunter and explorer. Second, that of
the squatter and homesteader; and,
third, that of the careful, intelligent
and prosperous farmer. The first, the
period of the mOccasin, the tepee and
the travois; the second, the period Of
the chaps and spurs and lariat, fol-
lowed shortly by the lumber wagon,
heaped with supplies for the "nest-
err, the "hOnyak' and the scissors
bill''. And finally, as to the third
period, the small and efficient trac-
