Cavanaugh Denies
 Fire Survey Time
Project Will Take Three Weeks, Not Months, Claims
 Chief in Response to Erroneous Morning Story

Board of Fire Underwriters by three engineers will be completed in three weeks, or a full month at the latest, Fire Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh informed the commissioners.
 It was reported erroneously in the morning papers today that the stir- vey will take three months, Chief Cavanaugh emphatically denied he said that length of time will be re- quired in making the report, and that at the fire board meeting he specifically stated three weeks to c month.
 One representative from the New England Fire Insurance Rating As- sociation is conducting survey here. The association fixes the fire insur- ance rate throughout New England.
 The underwriters survey will in- clude the fire departments person. nel, apparatus, and fire alarm equipment. Representatives started their investigation yesterday.
 The action of the local fire board in requesting Q survey is based on a communication received from the Waterbury Taxpayers Association, Inc. at the time the local fire board was making up the 1941 budget. The statement sent by the association criticized the fire department set-up and claimed three stations in the city were superfiuous and that the office of the fire marshal could be abolished and the work assumed by the fire chief.
 Chief Cavannaugh declared the survey was the first one undertaken since 1922 and that the report by the surveying representatives will become available to the city in sev- eral months concerning the efficien- cy of its department with sugges- tions made for improvement of its service as Yell as other phases bene- flcial to the department.

The Loss of Lou Cehrig

doubt that the passing of any
ball player in the history of the
game, not even Christy Mathewson,
brought along as much genuine sor-
row as the recent death of Lou
Gehrig.
Texas is far away from the Side
walks of New York, but they are
still talking about the Yankee star
who had such an abundance of cour-
age, skill, stamina and sportsman
ship.
Here was basebaPs greatest trag-
edy. Lou was a great bali player,
one of the greatest, but he was
something more. With his great
physique, his amazing physical pow
er, he also had the gentleness of a
child.
No one like Lou will come our
way again.

Cheering for Dickey

The Southwest is also cheering for
Arkansas Bill Dickey, who was sup
posed to be all through. But in his
sixteenth season the famous quail
hunter came bounding back with the
rush of a coyote.
So far this has been Dickey's best
season. The lanky son of Louisiana
and Arkansas told me back in early
March that he would pass $3.50 this
season at bat, and so far the drum
beat of his bat has made his prom
Use seem too conservative.
New York city today has two of
the greatest catehers of all time in
Bill Dickey and Gabby Hartnett.
The mop-up would be complete if
Brooklyn could only reach cut and
grab Mickey Coehrane.
Dickey and Hartnett have given
the years a great battle, close upon
two score together. Which is long,
long time to take the beating one
must absorb back of the plate.

CHAPTER VIII

Owing to a broken axle caused by
an upset, the stage was nearly two
hours late at Black Butte. Sheriff
Hart arrived about the same time,
and after he had eaten joined the
usual forum on the porch of the post

What does that curly wolf have

Turley.
What you'd expect him to claim,
that he knows nothing about the kill
ings."
Just happened to be on the scene
by accident with a rifle loaded for

laugh. The man had an ugly, lupine
face, not improved by disfgured
nose.
He gave reason for being there.

Would that reason cover the fell

boy inquired.
Says there was nobody with
him." she sheriff replied.
Roam Afford spoke. "CaI didn't

voice again. "The tracks ran side
by side quite ways"
Unless he's changed a heap from
the Cal Terry I usta know he
wouldn't stand for drygulching a
man." Afford contributed, chewing
q quid of tobacco thoughtfully.
Out Of sight but close to the win

was not private conversation, but

Turkeys bullying voice took up the
thread. "You fellows are too soft.

the killing and found the body. Later

He's too high and mighty for me"
He walked toward the hitch-rack
to get his horse, but pulled up IN
his stride to listen to new voice
which had cut into the talk, a clear
contralto throbbing with indignant
scorn.
Ellen had come out to the porch
and was standing in the doorway.
"Since you don't like him, Yorky,
of course he ought to be hanged. He
must be the assassin because he
didn't want Diamond Reverse B

discovered Jim fellows body. And
if somebody rode up the canyon

Their astonished eyes fixed on her.

with it? Isn't there such a thing as

he is?"

weather-beaten face. ST don't want
to think any such thing, Miss FL

Now take those tracks"
Sharply Ellen cut in on him. "All
right, take them. He didn't tell who
he was with because he thought it
might embarrass girl to be
dragged into killing like this. He
thought"
Hart interrupted her. "a GIRL" he
repeated. What girl you talkin'
about?"
Her eyes did not falter, though
the color had flooded into her
cheeks. "I'm talking about myself.
I was going to Round Top, and I
thought I'd take the Box Canyon
way to see the flowers. We met be-

How long after?" the sheriff
asked.

Three minutes-five minutes-ten
minutes-haH an hour?"
ct tell you I don't know. Only a
few minutes"
"Just long enough for him to have
made sure he had done a good job
and then got to the canyon for his
getaway" rasped Turley.
''Mr. Terry didn't act like guilty
man. He wanted me to examine the
rife to make sure it hadn't just been
fred"
Hart jumped at that like terrier
at a rat. why did he do that? I'm
less he was covering up-building
evidence for himself"
Because of something I said"
"And the rife-could you tell if it
had just been fred?"
''I didn't look"
"You didn't see anybody else

Quented.
Nobody else" she said. Before
/ came out of the canyon the killer
had slipped away in the brush. Mr..
Terry rode up the canyon with me
because he thought the killer might
have slipped into the gorge and he
was afraid to have me 60 alone. He
felt I might be in danger, since the
assassin couldn't know I had not
been a witness"
''It knocks out the theory of his
having an accomplice there with
him." the sheriff said. I'm much
obliged to you, Cousin Ellen, for
saving me a lot of work. I won't
have to try to run down fellow
that doesn't exist"
There's a point there that tells
against Terry, though" Hart add
ed. when he reported finding jim
fellows body that looked like the
action of an innocent man. Now we
know he was discovered close to the
spot and had to frame a story to
protect himself"
''We don't know any such thing"
Ellen differed. IF he is innocent
he didn't have to frame a story. All
he had to do was to tell the truth.
Which is what he did"
She turned and walked swiftly into
the post-ofice. As she thought Of it
later, she did not know whether her
story had done him harm or good.

The Rougher Road

The rougher road in these two
pennant races is still on ahead.
July and August are the test months
in which class and reserves count.
These are the months when consist

So far there has been a woeful
lack of consistency in both leagues.
