boy who had made the frantic
appeal for help. He explained
tearfully that he and the muir
dered girl had been dancing at
Euclid Beach Park.
They left there and drove di-
rectly to the girls home, arriv-
ing at one-thirty. He parked his
car in front of the house and
escorted the girl around to the
rear; Sepic returned to the front
of the house as the girl went
through the inside and unlocked
the front door. Mrs. Mathes,
the girls widowed mother, was
away at work on the night shift
in the enamel plant of the Ohio
Foundry Company so the pair
had the house to themselves.

Dawn flushed the east before
the officers finished their inves-

compare notes while Hogan ex-
amined his reports.

Half an hour later Sergeant
Hogan with Detectives Herbert

of him, and there are some foot
prints under that open living
room window where some one
might have stood while he did a
little peeping-"
But IL IL was this mysterious
stranger, why didn't he jump

Without waiting for an answer

which the crime was committed
Is another puzzling feature. He

which the boy nearest the
kitchen door accepted as a chal-

he pushed the door inward.
Past his shoulder a shaft of light
from the living room focused
itself on the inert, nearly nude
form of Mary Mathesl
The once lissome girl was now
q pitiful sight. Her only gar
ment, a filmy slip, had been
slashed by a killers knife until
II now resembled a grotesque
costume Of crimson ribbons. Her
face had escaped the fury of the
assassin and once luminous
brown eyes stared sightlessly at
the ceiling.
The first youth TO recover
from the shock of the awful dis
covery gasped:

Detective Sergt. Jim Hogan,
In charge of the homicide squad
of the Cleveland police depart

summons. Hogan bears modestly
a widespread reputation for a
keen faculty of observation for
which the newspapers coined the
term camera eye As he

Finally a barricade stopped

leaped on the running board of
the fugitive car.
Get out with your hands up"
he ordered. The youth, chunky
and heavy set, obeyed meekly.
Sovik rushed his captive to the
county jail in Warren.

She acquired this odd taste
several years ago while playing
in a Broadway production in
which she was cast as q beauti-
Gus South Sea Island maid.
Part of her stage business was
the constant eating OF coconut,
and. naturally enough. when the
play closed Barbara was pretty
well fed up on coconut. She
didn't taste II again until she
visited a Hollywood friend who
was drinking coconut milk for
her health.
Barbara took a bite. and once

Bruno School To
Open Week Later

The Bruno school will open Mon
day, September 8, with full-day ses-
sion, according to Superintendent l..
E. Wood. The board decided that it
would be better to open at this later
date, because of difficulties that they
are experiencing in obtaining proper
ly qualified teachers.
The Bruno high school is a fully
qualified six-year high school with
a usual enrolment of about 100
students. Last year a good band was
organized in the school, and this
work is going to be continued the
present term. The Bruno school can
also boast of Smith-Hughes Agri-
cultural department.
Eighth graders graduated in the
Bruno high school area are invited to
attend the high school there and
make use of its facilities. The cost
of attending high school is not great
as the state pays tuition for these
students.

gagged in the wholesale produce bust
ness, operating trucks between Min

terest there is among parents in pur-
chasing good new or used band in
struments for their children on a
reasonable time payment plan.
If sufficient interest is shown, the
Paul A. Schmitt Music Company of
Minneapolis, has promised to come
to Askov with load of instruments
for inspection and possible purchase.
This old and reputable music con-
Germ wrote, in addition, that "We
have a very fine adaptability test
which we will be glad to give all
those who are interested This
will serve as a guide in the selection
of instruments. We give a strict
pitch and rhythm test, also an ex-
animation of teeth, lips and fingers
in order to determine what instru-
ment each student is best fitted to
play. This service is free and it is
designed to protect the parents from
unwise purchases and to help the
bandmaster in building up the proper
Instrumentation"
The Askov high school band was
definitely handicapped last year by
a lack of instruments, and it is hoped
that the proposed arrangement with
the Paul A. Schmitt Company will
help to remedy the situation.
NYA Aid.
Relative to the pupil-aid work
program for 1941-42 it can be stated
that NYA funds will be available as
in the past but that it appears like
ly that no state appropriation will
be forthcoming. If this proves to be
true, then work-aid this year will
be available only to pupils who are

There are three ways in which
everyone can help make the Askov
Rutabaga Festival a grand success:
First, exhibit as many items as you
possibly can; second, attend the festi-

late at night (be sure to be in for
the parade in the forenoon); third,
buy as many tickets as you can on
the prizes that are to be given away.

turn trip Mr.. Miller stopped at an
inland community near Grove City

Former Resident Here Dies.

Word comes from Minneapolis that
Chr. Jensen has passed away. He
will be remembered by many here;
he started a chicken farm on the
place now owned by MAIDS Nielsen
back in the days when land was sky
high. 1t was believed that he paid
Sd 900 for that corner and then in
vested a similar amount in a resi-
dence and chicken house. The chick
en- business was a failure few years
later and Mr.. Jensen left it and went
to Minneapolis.

parking space on the school grounds,
entrance to which will be from the
north as the road past the D. B. S.

closed. They want as little parking
as possible on Main street, especially
during the parade, so please cooper
