CHANGE IN LECTI
SERVICE

Amendment of Selective Serv-
ice regulations to make it man
datory for every registrant to
have his registration certifi-
cate in his possession at all
times and to present it upon re-
quest of proper authorities was
announced today by E. M. Biz
ley, state director of selective
service for Montana.
Director Birely made mis- an
nouncement upon receipt of adj
vice from national headquarters
which pointed out that while
the old provision of the regula-
lions said that the registrant
should carry his registration
certificate with him at all times
as he may be required to show
it from time to time," the re-
vised regulations provide:
1.-THE r%egiStrant must have his

ficer, any Selective Service Of
fetal of national headquarters
or of a states headquarters, or
any member of the local board
or board of appeal"
Failure of a r~egistrant to
have his registration certificate
in his personal possession, or to
exhibit it upon request of au-
thorized officials, will constitute
a vocation of the Regulations
and, in addition, shall be con-
strued as prima facie evidence
of his failure to register, State
Director Birely said.
Director Birely also announced
another amendment to the reg
ulations pertaining to late reg

The Low Down On
Q GROVE

It is easy to work yourself
into a sweat 2 or 3 times a day,
if you take everything you hear
too serious. The woods are full
of people making a nice living
and staying in office-by scar
ing up things to fix, and telling
us they are the only one who is
equal to the task.
We been told there are so
many things ailing us that we
are believing it-and are about
ready for the hospital.
But I just been reading what
a banker has to say. I read a
little of everything. I even
sometimes read what the men
are gonna wear this spring or
next fall - but don't.
This banker is a Mr.. Burgess
he gives simple answers vers-
us complicated ones. He says the
thing begging us down is the
Socialism germ we picked up
from Europe. And labor, he
says, is gonna wake up with the
biggest headache of all.
I I'M kind of glad I read what
the gent had to say. I'm going
to ask Uncle Joe Paxton here
at our bank, what kind of a
person this Mr.. Burgess is =
everybody around here, asks
Uncle Joe about everything.

land game birds, and livestock,
In the valley. CCC enrollees are
raising bikes, creating impound-
mentS into which water will be
brought by means of drainage
bitches. The appointments will
be planted with pigeongrass,
sage pondweed, and other plants
that provide both food and
cover for waterfowl and other
forms of Wildlife.
"It is almost a case of Great
ing a complete wildlife area out
of a desolate waSteland," offic-
ials said. The area is even now
unusual in that it is one of
the few places in the country
that is potentially both a good
nesting ground and an excellent
Wintering area"
This is one of the few import
ant nesting areas in the United
States for the New Mexico duck.
Although the refuge is still
in the development stage, Ref
uge Manager A. D. Campbell
estimates that during the sum-
of 1910 nesting ducks pro-
duced about 1000 young on the
area. Other nesting birds in
clude the snowy egret, Ameri-
can egret, glossy ibis, Florida
gallinule, New Mexico duck,
ruddy duck, cinnamon teal,
blue -winged teal and mallard.
About $4,000 migratory water
fowl wintered on the refuge last
year, Manager Campbell esti-
mates. These include the Can
ada goose, a few snow geese,
the mallard, gadWall, shoveller,
rudy duck, pintai, redhead, and
canvaSback.
"Once development is far
enough along and we start to
plant waterfowl foods, we have
every expectation of increasing
the total %wintering and nesting
populations many times more
than present numbers" Camp
bell said.
The Rio Grand river flows
directly through the center of
the area and the famous steam
deposits about Y foot of silt on
the valley floor each year. Some
years ago, diggers bored down
2,400 feet in river silt before
striking water. This would in
dictate that at one time the Rio
Grande river bed was at least
this much lower at this point
and has been built up through
the course of time.

LOUISIANA


With the recent participation
of Louisiana in the federal aid
in Wildlife restoration program
inaugurated in 1888, all except
three states are now conducting
Wildlife conservation projects
with the aid of federal funds,
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. IckeS announced recently.
Florida, Georgia and Nevada
are the only states that have
not passed the necessary assent
ing legislation permitting them
to participate, in the program.
An investigation of fur re-
sources management initiated
the program in Louisiana.
The Federal Aid act Is admin
istered by the Fish and Wildlife
service. Since the act has been
in effect, more than 400 projects
in As states have been approved,
service officials said.
Louisiana has been allotted
$32,688 as its share of the funds
appropriated by congress for
federal aid projects for the fis-
cal year 1941. Under the Federal
Aid act, also called the Pitt
man Robertson act, each state
is apportioned a certain sum
each year, the apportionment
being based on the total acreage
and the number of licenses hun
tiers in the state. The federal
government pays rs per cent of
the cost of each project and the
state Is per cent.

WINTERING AND NESTING
AREA is RECLAIMED

Down in the heart of the bar
rem mesquite country in central
New Mexico, where the Rio
Grande river drains the numer-
Gus arroyos thanking the ridges
of the valley, lies the Bosque
del Apache National Wildlife
refuge, one of the most unusual
sanctuaries in the United States,
according to a recent Fish and
Wildlife Service report received
by Secretary of the Interior
Harold L. Ickes.
This is the only area in the
flyway along the entire course
of the Rio Grande where Suffic-
lent natural habitat remains to
enable service engineers to con-
vert it into a waterfowl refuge.
At one time one of the best
wintering areas for migratory
waterfowl in the central flyWay,

sides became almost a biological

OvergraZed the area and re
claimed submarginal land for
farming purposes. Today, the
sc, 088-acre area is of little use
as a grazing land and is of
comparatively little value to wa
terfowl and other forms of wild
life.
Under present plans, the Fish

Detailed to Go
To Cheyenne

Taylor and Worker were i'm
mediately detailed to go to
Cheyenne, $50 miles north, to
interview this new personality
who had injected himself into
the case.
When they reached the Wy
oming city that night, Sheriff
George Carroll greeted them
with:
81 believe I've got your man."
The Pueblo officers then told
Carroll that they thought they
had the real murderer safely
locked in a Pueblo cell and
were puzzled by this new de-
velopment.

brought into the sheriffs Office,

Sent Mother
Screaming

A great cash behind her left
ear, her niShtgown torn TO
shreds, Dorothy lay face down
on the outside Of the bed.
Barbara, who groaned weakly
as her father stood motionless,
stunned by the sight, was curled
up on the bed next TO the wall.
An ugly wound creased her
scalp. revealing she had been
struck in the same manner as
her older sister.
One glimpse at the pitifully
Crumpled bodies sent the mother
screaming from the house 10 the
home next door where the chill
dren's grandfather, former
State Senator Perry c. Dunlap,
resided.
Dunlap, whose bedroom was
on the side of the house next TO
the Drain home. later revealed
he had heard one of the girls
say about II o'clock Saturday
night, Don't do that"-but he
paid no further attention,
thinking his two granddaughter
were playing.
Barbara had meanwhile been
rushed TO Corwin Hospital. only
a few blocks away from her
home.
Dorothy Drain attractive 10

IN her studies at Central High
School-lay still in death on the
scarlet bed.
Or. A. M. Triple, called in
place Of Coroner G. ". Caldwell
who was out OF the city. walked
into the room and edged TO the
side Of the bed.
After brief examination he
looked up gravely and made the
expected announcement:
This girl has been criminally
assaulted by a fiend."

His Face Broke
Into a Smile

His face broke into a smile.
That's Frank Hello, Frank"
The greeting was never an
swered. Aguilar remained speech
less and crestfallen, all the fight
taken out of him by the surprise
appearance of his partner In
crime.
Frank, he was with me-" Ar
ridy stated. He hit the big girl
he nit the small one, too.
Him and me went there to-
gether-"
Aguilar began babbling. "They
will hang me-" and his trem-
bling body shook the chair In
which he sat.
They will hang me-" he re-
peated, this time soberly. my

hurt-my mother -.

Led Man Through
Series of Questions

Eyes, mister. Yes, mister, I
tell"
Sparring for some opening
point. Taylor led the man
through a series OF questions
about his friendship with the
Drain household.
His story was disconnected in
parts. but on the whole very
credible.
Along routine lines. the quiz
zing went rapidly, and then
'When did you first know
about the murder:" Taylor
asked.
81 read about IL in the paper
that morning."
The next question was framed
on Taylor's lips when he paused
This didn't sound right!
What's wrong here?
The answer came almost in
stantly-the murder story was
not in the regular edition Of the
Sunday morning paper!
"You read about IL In the pa
per, Frank, Ell ?" Taylor asked.
"Yes, mister"
you're a liar! There wasn't
anything in the paper about it,
Aguilar half jumped from the
chair-his voice quavered as he
replied:
Eyes, mister--I read it, read
i'll tell the truth"

Further Questions
We're Asked

Taylor turned TO ask the
youth - and the answer came
correctly.
ASK him II there 10 q flower
stand under the back window"
Drain directed.
"No-a bench under tho win
dow" Arridy replied. II bumped
into II once"
Drain said this too was cor
rect.
Further questions were asked,
and to each came the hating
replies of the youth sometimes
vague. but many times correct,
as Taylor knew from his own
knowledge OF events that night.
Then they asked him If he
knew Aguilar--
"Why, Frank" Arridy spoke
distinctly and smiled knowingly,
"he was the man with met"
Here the officers realized they
had arrived at the real solution
OF the mystery.
There were two men In that
crime not one, as they had
been so positive before!"
Taylor and Worker took
charge Of the prisoner. who
agreed TO waive extradition, and
returned him to Pueblo.
The following morning an air
OF expectancy filled Chief
Grady's office as all the detec-
tives who had labored so tire
lessly on the case sensed the
approaching climax to their
efforts.
In the small room Joe Arridy
was seated facing the door, and
the assembled group awaited
the entrance OF Aguilar VII o
was being brought from his cell.
The door opened and a figure
took one step, then stood as IL
rooted to the spot.
His eyes remained fixed on
young Arridy even as he was be-.
ing led TO a chair opposite him.
"Joe," Taylor asked Arridy.
"tell us now, who IL that man
seated there?"

UnnerUed Prisoner
Launches Into Story

The unnerved prisoner
launched into an incoherent ac-
count in which he stated he had
driven by the Drain home Sum-
day morning
WAS there anybody around ?"
Taylor interrupted.
mo master, there was not"
Again he was caught point
blank.
"You lie, Frank! 1 was there
myself--and there were hum
dreds OF people there"
Aguilar did not deny the sec
ond accusation. and everybody
in the room was electrified.
This fellow was lying for some
reason all right; but did il have
any bearing on the murder? Why
did he lie? Was he harmless
and just frightened?
The officers soon realized that
further questioning that night
was useless, so they showed the
prisoner into a cell.
Though il was now past mid
night. Taylor Grady and
Worker drove 10 a three-room
shack in which Aguilar lived
with his family and aged
mother.
A thorough search OF the
cramped quarters yielded a ham
dle-leSs Ratchet, with deep
nick in one corner of the ham
mer end and several smaller
hicks were in the blade.
"This could very likely be
the murder weapon" said
Worker.
He decided TO run out TO the
Corwin Hospital TO photograph
the wounds on Barbara's head.
and then meet the other officers
at headquarters.
A few hours later a print OF
the exact size, 10 a fraction OF
an inch, Of the girls head wound
was placed on Grady's desk.
Comparing this with the
hatchet, ii was noted that the
deep nick in the hammer end
fitted perfectly.
They had hint They knew
il now-they were convinced
Aguilar was their man! And
they decided to mould chain Of

Passing Cusket
For Last Glimpse

A file OF persons was passing
the casket for a last glimpse Of
the innocent victim when a dark,
swarthy man. wearing overalls
and a dirty blue shirt was seen
walking slowly about in the curl
Gus crowd outside.
Frequently he would ask a
question about the dead girl.
Butler apd Mikitich, surveying
the crowd from a vantage point
some distance away, sighted the
man and instantly took notice Of
his unusual behavior.

ment and, apparently propelled
by a queer inward impulse he

"Were you ever In the Drain

"Yes. Drain was q friend of

Butler decided to arrest the
man and told Mikitich TO take

the forces at their command for
the investigation.
Every inch OF the house and
yard was searched, while a
fingerprint expert carefully went
over the girls bedroom.
Not one clue, not one shred Of
evidence that might hint at the
killers identity was found.
Tho alley behind the house
was the next object OF attention.
There In the dirt the officers
flashlight detected three spots
OF blood that seemed oompara-
lively fresh.
This was the first indication
Of where the inhuman killer had
entered the house in the dark
ness of a few hours before and
il gave impetus TO the investi-
cation.
Though many people had since
trampled the yard, the man.
hunters nevertheless decided 10
use bloodhounds and wired their
request TO the state prison at
Canon City, 40 miles away.
Before noon, Warden Roy
Best had his two best crackers
on the case. Bess and 30.
But IL was no use; they were
unable to pick up the killers
scent.
On the day of Dorothy's
funeral, the Thursday following
the murder, a solution Of the
case seemed hopeless.
Barbara lowered between life
and death--to question her was
obviously impossible.
With only a few hours sleep
a night, every manhunter on the
case was working steadily
against an apparent impene-
trable veil OF mystery.
Don't they say" suggested
District Attorney Taylor, that
n killer OF this type will always
make an effort to see the body
OF his victlm?"
Yes. that often happens, the
police agreed.
While the body lay in state at
the Mccarthy Funeral Home.
Chief Grady had three Of his
men mingle with the throng,
closely watching every person.
During the funeral later that
afternoon, they were joined by
police officers r. Earl Butler
and ". J. Milkitich.
