Their job is TO discover first the

Pubic Welfare Frowns on
Drinking and Gambling

The Chief is in receipt of res
olution passed by the State board
of Public Welfare. Feb. %. de-
ploring the wastage of public
welfare funds in gambling and
promiscuous drinking.
Much can be said on this sub
ject as can be seen every day in
any town in the state. We have
it here in Browning as we'll as
elsewhere and there is no use in
denying it. Each and every pay
day is a true exemplification of
the fact as illustrated last week
and for many months past. 1t is
getting worse, day by day and
month bv month.
Isn't it time that the recipients
of relief take upon themselves
the responsibility of looking at
the question from the view point
of the tax payer. who eventually
foots the bill, and at least. cir.
cumscribe their activities by not
making a SHOW of themselves.
We begrudge no man a drink. or
a game of cards, but is it fair TO
do this at public expense?

a garage at Hampton Wick.
Two days later the truck was
found abandoned miles away in the
country. 1t was restored, apparent
ly intact, to its owner.
Before the truck went into daily
use again it was given casual en-
animation.
Then for the first time it was dis
covered that the floor boards and
sides were smeared and despatched
with blood Analysis proved it to
be human blood Further investiga-
ton disclosed a quantity of human
brains on the drivers seat.
Yard Has Theory.
From the facts at hand this tenta.
tive theory was deduced:
The victim, either driver or com.
panion. was first struck SCATTERING
blow or blows on the head SO that
the skull was crushed
Then he Cor she) was dragged to
the back of the truck to be dumped
at some spot safe from immediate
discovery.
The murderer hesitated, probably
because he detected some dying
movement in his victim.
He struck again.
That seemed plain from another
big patch of blood near the tailboard
and more reddish brown splashcs ct
the edges OF the sides.
That must have been the end. for
the body then appears to have been
dragged over the back of the trucl;
and lodged for i moment against
the spare wheel. because that also
bears unmistakable traces of blood.
There, for the moment, the detec-
tives are up against a dead end.
They must indulge in much specu-
lation and deduction before they
pick up the trail again.
