mond, and his daughter, Betty

into a concrete bridge abutment
two miles west of Raymond on the
East Liberty rd., Saturday even
ing.

'MONARCHSDOWN
WEST JEFFERSON
1876 ON FRIDAY
Smith, Bell Rogers Each
Tally For Locals In Game
Played Mostly During Rain

Marysville high school football
erS went back on the credit side"
of their games-won-and-lost led
ger, Friday afternoon, when they
defeated a stubborn West Jeffer-
son team, 10 to 6.
Like the previous weeks game
at Bellefontaine, the West Jeffer-
son encounter was played in the
rain, making conditions anything
but ideal for players and specta-
tors alike. With slippery footing
underneath, ball carriers found it
precarious going, and the ball was
just too slippery to try much fancy
stuff with it.
The way things started out, it
looked like a high-Scoring after
noon, in spite of the weather. With
the first quarter yet young, each
team had one touchdown to it's
credit and the score stood 7 to 6
for the Monarchs. However, these
were the only scores the first half
and the only other scoring was by
Maryville with one six-pointer in
each of the last two periods.
First score came early in the ini-
tial stanza, when Don Smith
wheeled around left end on a 40
yard jaunt. Noel Howard place
kicked the extra point, making it
the first point-after-touchdown the
locals have scored in this fashion so
far this year.
1t was only two minutes later
when Jefferson's fullback, Red"
Lowe, broke through off tackle for
a 50-yard scamper across the Ma
rysville goal. He failed to make the
extra point on place-kick try and
there was no further scoring the
first half, although the Monarchs
were in West jefferson territory,
threatening constantly, most of
the second quarter.
The MonarchS tailed again in
the third period when Quarter
back Dale Bell carried the ball o.
er from three yards out. The play
was the climax of a down-field
drive which Marysville started
when they took the kickoff. How
ards place-kick attempt was low.
Nanny Rogers made the final

Besides the largest mass of blood,
a board had been broken out of the
floor, and a blood-sOaked towel
was found on the floor. One win
dow was broken in, and door and
storm door were standing wide
open. Blood had been dripped
through three rooms of the house.
Discovered BY Daughters
Condition of the house, which
had been empty since Mrs. Warner

Mrs. Esther Underwood, 403 Clar-
endon ave-, Columbus. Mrs. Will
cox and Mrs. Underwood are

gone to the Warner home to get
things in shape preparatory to

tion of the house, the WilcoXes and
Mrs. Underwood called in Mr.. and
Mrs. Arthur H. Doner, who reside
on the adjoining farm, and Clar-
ence Stewart, who lives on Route

geon, Special Investigator VIM. H.
Faulkner and Sgt. Fred VanAllen
and Patrolman Vernon Slattery, of
the State Highway Patrol, have
been working since Sunday after
noon in an attempt to find the an
Swer.
Only One Real Lead
The only lead they have learned,
so far, is that one person who may
have bene involved has been miss
ing since Saturday. He is the OBJ
ject of an extensive search, and, if
found, may be able to clear up e.
Verything.
Meanwhile, officers don't know
whether some boy broke the win
dow and was cut, or whether there
may even have been some fight.
The broken window, however, is
located ~, mann 1y1I F14nCf Of
the blood is in an adjoining room.
In fact, there is practically no
blood inside the window, either on
a studio couch Immediately in
front of the window, on which most
of the broken glass was found, or
on the floor nearby.
Also, it was in the adjoining
room where the evidence of vio-
lenCe was found. Here, furniture
was upset, bedding which had been
piled neatly on top a card table
was Strewn over the floor and the
table itself overturned, and a rug
and throw rug were turned back.
It was in this same room that
the two large patches of blood and
the blood soaked towel were found,
and the board was torn up out of
the floor. Some heavy, pointed OBJ
ject was used in breaking the lat
ter.
From this room, the blood trail
ing through the room with the
room with the broken window and
into the kitchen, where someone
had gone for towels. The trail of
blood also went from the room
where the possible violence took
place, out through the adjoining
room, through the outside door,
across the porch, and traces were
found in two places outside.
In the driveway, a clear tire
print was found and there was
another spot where an automobile
wheel had spun in the wet grass as
if someone had driven away in z
hurry.
