hot and muggy days as Joe DeNoto and Mortimer Murphy stepped off the train at Reno, Nevada, with nothing in particular on their minds any more than a good feed and a couple of beers.
 But before we go along too far with our story, let's get acquainted with these two men. Murphy is quite large man and is one of the country'S best detectives, known to most all the western cow hands as Stinky Pipe Murphy. DeNoto is a very small man and always keeps close to his pal, Murphy, and he is also an ace detective. He is most always caled Pee Wee.
 They walked into the Silver Rail Bar and Restaurant for a feed and a couple of beers, Joe, the waiter, tells them that the Garcia boys would like to have them call at their office, as their father, Joe Garcia, was murdered last night. Murphy says. Well. Pee Wee, I see we don't get any rest. I thought we would, after finishing that case in Denver We'll, let's go right over before it is too late to find any clues or before that darn D. A. Bishop gets everything balled up on us"
 T guess you are right, Murphy" !" says Pee Wee. I haven't forgot the last time we worked with him. He sure can make a mess of things in a darn short time. It's about three hours ride over to the boys house and as it's ten-thirty now, we should be out there about one- thirty or two o'clock. will go and get a couple of horses while you drop in at the Sheriffs office and see what he knows, up to this time"
 Well, Pee Wee, I didn't find out too much from Sheriff Beebe, any more than the D. A. told him there was no need to call in 8 fin- gerprint expert, as so many peo- ole had been around the house, all they would find would be few smudges that would be no help at all. Let's get going, as we don't want to waste any time"
 T was just thinking, Mort, that we had better leave this two thou sand that we collected from the Denver case here in town, as this is a lot of money to be carting around this part of the country"
 Leave it over at the Silver Rail with Joe, Pee Wee, and while you are in there, keep your ears opened for any information that may be dropped. just saw Howard Barnes go in the door and if he is not mixed up in this case in some way, I'm going to miss my guess. He never comes in town unless he is in some kind of trouble. He al- ways tries to drink his troubles away. After he has few drinks his tongue gets to wagging and he most always spills few words too many. Did you see who those men were, going in right behind that Mexican?"
 T don't seem to know those

whole story, as have to go out on the range with the men this af- ternoon, We are getting a ship ment Of beef ready to ship out in the morning, so you see it is very important that one of us go with the cow hands. I hope you will excuse my absence"
 That is perfectly all right with us,' says Murphy, and then, turn ing to Jeal, he says, q think it would be much nicer if we went into your office and talked, as this sun is getting hotter by the min- ute"
 By all means come into the house, and will give you all the information that possibly can."
 "ThiS morning at 6:30 my brother and I were eating our breakfast with the hired men, which is our custom each morning, as we feel if we eat our meals with our cow hands it brings us nearer together. The telephone rang, and as Humpy (that is one of our men) sat near the phone, told him to answer it. All he heard was that something terrible had happened to old man Garcia and to tell the boys to get over to his place as soon as pos- sible.
 Well, we rode over as soon as we could, and found the hOuSekeep- CT, Mrs. Flynn, ready at the door to meet US, and all she said was, Your father is dead and pointed to the library door. We went in there as fast as we could, and sure enough, there he was, lying on the floor. He had been killed with a club or gun barrel, being struck on the head several times.
 T asked Mrs. Flynn where the Madam was. and she told me that she was in no condition to be seen at the present time. I asked her if the sheriff had been called, and she said she expected him any minute.
 Tn about ten minutes after we got here, Sheriff Beebe arrived with the coroner and District At torney Bishop. The D. A. didn't act very surprised, my brother and I both noticed. We'll, Beebe went to work looking for any clues he might find, and the coroner was only a minute or two stating that 1t was murder, the victim being struck on the head with blunt in- strument, by an unknown person.
 'As soon as Bishop came in the house, the Madam came down. stairs, looking quite pale. She said she was not coming down to be questioned by any one, until the District Attorney was on hand.
 "The sheriff started asking Ques- tions of the help first. The first one he questioned was Mrs. Flynn, but he got nowhere with her. Then he called in the caretaker, Al Har- vey. He could not say anything. as he said he didn't feel good last night, so he went to bed early and heard no sounds of any kind all night. The Chinese cook, Emile Mann, was questioned next. He pretended he could not understand very well, so we didn't get any, thipo ont nF him

Two escaped German prisoners
of war recaptured below Brown
Landing locks by Elizabethtown
Police Chief Slater Hare and
Deputy Fred Cashwen. fled Camp
Butner because they wanted to
remain In the United States instead
Of returning to Germany, Hare
told the Star-News by telephone
last night.
Prisoners Gerard Rompke and
Rudolph Wentzell, both % years
of age, escaped from Camp But
ner by jumping from a truck on
which they were working for a
cold storage firm. The prisoners
got a bateau and padded almost
200 miles down the Cape Fear
river before being caught Thursday
night. A third prisoner, who es-
capped at the same time, is still at
large.
Hare said that when he arrested
the prisoners they were still wear
ing prison garb which they had
turned inside out to escape detec-
ton. Both of them were cold and
hungry" Hare said. ''Rompke
could speak fair English, and he
told me he had escaped five times
in the two-and-one-haH years he
has been in the United States.
He said he and Wentzell were try
ing to get to the coast so they
would not have to return to Ger
many"
In the long trip down the river,
Rompke told Hare, the prisoners
subsisted solely on corn which they
boiled in can at night. Once they
reached the coast. the prisoners
said they planned to live on sea
food until all German prisoners
had been returned to Germany.
Both prisoners were part of Rom.
mel's North Africa army, Haire
said. They were sent to a prison.

TOBACCO PRICES
HIT new PEAKS
By The Associated Press

Prices advanced to new peaks on
the middle, eastern and old flue-
cured tobacco belts this week, and
the demand continued very strong
for most grades, federal and state
marketing news services reported
yesterday. :,
Practically all grades advanced
ST to 81, with many grades esta-
blishing new season highs. On the
middle belt bulk of the grades
were quoted at $47 to $50 per hun
bred. The general average of SO
per hundred for the week was 20
cents above the previous week $.
Gross volume of sales during the
three-day period-Thursday and
Friday observed as Thanksgiving
holidays-amounted to 4,4O6, 486
pounds. This brought sales for the
season to IA, 1883, 1857 pounds aver
aging $43.63 per hundred.
The old belts general average
of $46.95 per hundred topped last
weeks by As cents and marked the
seventh consecutive week that a
new high has been established.
Gross sales for the week amounted
to 14,784,510 pounds. Of this, y
376,982 pounds were marketed IN
North Carolina averaging $46.42.
Season sales on the old belt were
recorded as 26,396,871 pounds at
an average of $43.51 in North Caro-
lima. The total for both states was
245, 650,974 pounds which averaged
$43. 88 per hundred.
In spite of grade increases, the
eastern belt reported its general
average of $41.71 was II cents IN
der last weeks. This was due to
the larger percentage of lower
qualities marketed. Gross sales
for the week dwindled to only g.
848, 200 pounds. Season sales now
stand at 403, 1872, 112 pounds at an
average Of $4380 per hundred.
Eastern and middle markets re-
ported poorer quality in offerings
than last week. The percentage Of
smoking leaf and nondescript was
larger while the proportion Of cut
tiers and leaf was smaller. On the
middle belt leaf, smoking leaf,
cutters, and Tugs were marketed in
approximately equal quantities
with low to good qualities pre-
dominating. Common to good Leaf,
low to fine Tugs and nondescript
predominated the marketings on
the eastern belt. The percentagel
Of damaged tobacco was not as
high as last weeks but was still
much above normal.
