fered most were: Vicland, Tama,

that all oat seed this year must

3 Erront Lads
Find Their Trip
Suddenly Ends

Three VentureSome young men
from Fort Wayne, Ind, evidently
out to make their way in the
world, wound up in the hands of
Sheriff Homer S. Roosa Wednes-
day after they had tried to spend
the night in an old barn near Ir-
win.
The boys, Laird Lands, Is,
Kenny Hodges, 16, and Robert
Locke, Is, disappeared from their
homes Monday morning. The lat
ter's father, John Locke, who
came here after the lads Wednes-
day afternoon, told Sheriff Roosa
they had started for school Mon
day morning, but never got there.
When picked up by the sheriff,
all three firmly contended they
were not running away. One said
he had an aunt living in Union
county, but Sheriff Roosa was un-
able to locate any such person.
Their cause was lost when they
asked a farmer In the IRWIN
neighborhood for permission to
sleep in his barn Tuesday night,
having hitch-hiked that far from
Fort Wayne. The farmer refused,
then reported them to the sher-
IF when he saw them enter a
barn on a vacant home on an ad-
jacent farm.

TRUCKER GETS
PROBATION ON
DEATH lease
Dale Jones Trial
Completed Wednesday
Before Three Judges

Dale Jones, Kenton was placed
on a years probation after he
was found guilty by a three-judge
Court, Wednesday afternoon, on
charge of highway manslaugh-
ter.
Hearing the case were Judge
Richard l.. Cameron, of the I'm
ion county Common Pleas Court,
Judge Harry M. Rankin, of Find
lay; and Judge Chester Pendle-
ton, of Washington c. H.
Terms of the probation are that

les.

ly before Christmas killing Mr..

Mr.. and Mrs Harold Doellinger
and MIR. Williams, all of Marys-

ated by him for a Kenton man,
had insufficient lights showing
on the truck. They also testified
he had no fuses (red flares) or
keorsene torches burning.
All of the witnesses, except Pa
trolman Slattery, were drivers or

the Williams station wagon crash
ed into it. Slattery was the invest
igating officer.

Although hard-pressed by the
surprising York cagers, Broadway
came through to win by COM
Portable margin and contiue to
reign as No. l favorite to cop the
title this year.
Build Gradual Lead
The Taylor township quintet,
flashing its usual speed, started
scoring early. At the end of the
lIrot perIoa, only three points
separated the two teams, the
score being IL to in afvor of
Broadway.
By half time, the ultimate VIM
ners were Leading by five points,
18 to Is. AT the end of the third
quarter, it was by 10 points, 20 to
19. Although York, surprise WIN
ner over Byhalia and Union, new
er once faltered, theq simply
lacked the speed and ball hand
ling ability to keep up with
Broadway.
Rausch was the leading scorer
for the winning Broadwayites,
racking up 19 points on eight
field and three free throws. For
York, Bosart tailed six baskets
and three free throws for 10
points.
Second Game Closer
The Magnetic Raymond fracas
was a much more hotly-contested
affair than the first semi-flnal,
with few points separating the
two teams at any time.
Neither team could be counted
out of the running until the final
gun sounded, and the lead chang
ed hands several times as the
crowd remained in an uproar.
The way things started out,
however, it looked like Magnetic
in a breeZe-in. The Resorters, de-
Tending county champions, quick
ly hoped out in front and by the
end Of the first quarter were
leading IL to 6.
Raymond Rallies Strongly
But Raymond came back strong
and by half-time, Magnetic's mar
gin was only two points, 10 to IA.
In the third period, Raymond
took command of the situation
and battled its way to a four
point % to 18 lead as the quarter
ended.
In the final stanza, however,
Magnetic scored eight points
while holding Raymond without
a single tally and won going a.
way. Charlie Smith hit the nets
for 10 points for Magnetic, while
Kincaid and stratton each count
ed five points for Raymond. Rob-
inson of the Magnetic team and
Speicher of Raymond, each went
out on fouls in the final quarter.

AUTO TAGS
SOON

Automobile license tags will be
placed on sale March 10 at 33 dis
trbution points in Union county,
Edward T. Fogo, state registrar
of motor vehicles, announced
Tuesday.
In Union county, licenses may
be brought from the following:
Marguerite Shearer, l04 North
Court ST., Marysville; Sturgis H.
Cheney, % N, Franklin ST., Rich
wood; and Carl Johnson, Milford
Center.
For the first time since 1912
motorists will get two plates this
year and they may be used inn
mediately by the purchasers. All
cars must have licenses by April
/.
In 1943, the state used wind
shield sticker and in 1944-45-46 a
single tag was issued.
In past years, sale of plates
started March |, but a shortage
of steel necessitated a Today de-
lay this year, Fogo said.
Explaining the steel shortage,
he said that a heavy demand for
1916 tags during the last half OF
the year used up metal intended
for the initial 1947 plates.
Additional steel was obtained
about a month ago but not enough
tags could be made to permit the
sale to start March although the
work day at the Penitentiary
plate shop was increased from 8
to II hours.
