|Reoent Deaths Of Two Men, One in the West and
One in the East, Recall Days When Gunfghters
Wrote Their Names in Blood in the Wild West
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
Released by Western Newspaper Union.

THE Old West lived again
Il recently and, paradoxically,
it lived again because OF the
deaths of two men within the
span of two weeks.
One of them died in the West
and the other in the East, but
both had once been closely as
ISOLATED with events in what
was once known as the wild
West" - the West of roaring
cow towns and rowdy mining
camps, of quick-shooting peace
officers and equally hair-trig-
ger-fingered outlaws, of lusty,
action-filled life and Boot Hill
burialS.
When death claimed the Rev. En-
dicott Peabody at the age of 81 in
Groton, Mass, newspaper dis
patches chronicled the fact that he
had been the founder of the Groton
school and its headmaster for many
years, during which time he had
nodded the minds and characters of
many an eastern notable, including
President Franklin Delano Roose-
welt. But few, if any, of these dis
patches mentioned the fact that this
same Rev. Endicott Peabody had
once lived and labored in one of the
widest towns in the history of the
American frontier - Tombstone,
Arizona.
Into such an environment in the
summer of 1881 came young Epis-
copal minister, recently ordained in
Boston, and what happened there
after is best told in the words Of a
man who knew him then and there.
That man was William M. Breaker
ridge, who was one of Sheriff john
ny Behan's deputies in Tombstone
at the time. In his book, ''Helldo-

Gamblers Helped the Rev. Endicott Build His Ccyard Fence

Tombstone was unique among the
frontier towns that have achieved
lurid distinction in the history of the
American West. It had, according
to its legend, its man for breakfast
every morning, but it was touched
with the refinements of old and or
dered communities. It was isolated
in an Arizona desert, but civilization
was just over the horizon. - A
mining town in the heart of cattle
country, it had the picturesqueness

 William Semar, Northland Trans portation Company General Man agcr, said the demands, if granted, would take SO per cent of the pas- senger space and the vessel could not b2 operated as a passenger ship.

FUND SOLICITORS
 DOING FINE WORK

As the solicitors for the National War Fund reported additional gifts today advancing the total further along on it's way toward ultimate success, Campaign Headquarters stressed the significance of the fine work Icing done by the many in dividuals who are generously giving their services.
 Because no two teams are faced with exactly the same difficulties or the same scope of opportunities, it's impossible to apportion fairly all the credits for excellent solicitation. But at this stage of the drive there's no doubt as to which teams are in the lead for top honcrs. The highest total collected by two-man team is the fine figure of $1186, brought in by Doc Rude and Bill Cady Rep resenting an equally splendid job for the Fund is the $604 turned in by Mickey Marshall, leading one man team to date.
 It's not only the men who have been doing excellent work, however. Undoubtedly some of the very finest results have been those accomplish ed by the ladies who are collecting chiefly in the suburban areas of the community. The standing among these solicitors. under the leadership of George Dale, will be announced within the next day or two, by which time it is belived most of their solicitation will have been complet- ed
 As other teams finish their assign ments any day now, the totals col lected will be announced.

500 Per Cent Rise
 In Air Travel Seen
Much of the Gain to Come Through Natural Develop
 ments Says PerleY Boone

Washington, Feb. 28-Small cities and towns struggling with airport and airline service problems stand to receive an 83 per cent slice of the billion dollar postwar program ad- vanced by the Civil Aeronautlcs Authority
 The program, as made public, calls for federal aid for 3,050 new air ports and 1925 improvement pro- 1ects. It is estimated that the vast majority of these projects would be located in communities of less than 50, 900 population.
 The expenditures would be divided as follows: 58 per cent for new air port facilities and 42 per cent for the improvement of existing airports. The program would be spread over a Ave to ten year period and as met ropolitan districts complete compre- hensive plants, the 83 per cent ratio would be altered.
 Although the greatest increase in the number of airports is proposed in towns of less than 5000, the re- port points out that every airport built to serve the 76,00O,OOO people living outside metropolitan areas will also provide an additional land ing place for the 55,436568 people in the metropolitan districts.
 In the CAA program the sum sug- gested for new airports is about evenly divided between the com munities that have already applied for and those towns and cities which
