"Of course" Tilton answered as
he led the way into a small sitting
room. DRINK"
MCGOWAN shook his head.
Looking at Tilton, MCGOWAN
thought, "The guy needs a drink"
"Nervous?" he asked aloud.
"Why should I be-" answered Til
ton. He cleared his throat. "But I
feel badly about Dahlgren"
want to tell me about it?"
"What is there to tell?"
"There's a lot to tell, Tilton."
MCGOWAN paused and then leaned
toward the other. "You murdered
Dahgren - and with premedita-
ton"
Tilton's head jerked around. His
eyes stared, pop-eyed at MCGOWAN.
That's ridiculous!" he cried.
"Y0u killed that man, Tilton,
planned it and carried it out &C
cording to that plan. And I can
prove it,"
you can't prove anything, Ger
tainly not premeditation!" Tilton's
face, despite its tan, was gray.
well, here it is, Tilton." Nc
Gowan took small package from
his pocket, opened it and distracted
long, charpened nail, a half-used
solder bar and a small white en-
velope, laying these things on the
table beside him.
"Tilton, you were a trick shot
golfer before you came to this club
few years ago. You have the repu-
tation around here of being able
to do anything with golf ball
No, don't interrupt. I know these
things for facts. I know more, too.
"You were, and still are, in love
with Bill Bates daughter, Evelyn
In fact, you were to be married to
her last June, but a few weeks be-
fore the wedding Evelyn decided
to take a cruise with some friends.
Before she returned you received a
cable from her breaking off your
engagement. On that cruise she
met Dahlgren, fell in love with him
and shortly after her return to
GreenVale they were married.

caddies, employees and members.
But for Tilton there was just that
casual greeting, "How are you,
boy?" No more, no less. Obviously
Tilton wondered about the visits.
Friday evening, about eight, Nc
Gowan knocked at the door of the
little cottage on the clubhouse
grounds, which the club furnished
as quarters for it's professional.
Tilton opened the door.

OF DEATH

defective SERGEANT DEM
II MS MCGOWAN arrived at the
Greenvale Golf Club talking to him
self. He was annoyed at his friend
Bill Bates for calling him on what
was obviously case for the coroner.
He was annoyed, too, because his
headquarters shift had ended an
hour before and the day was one of
those rare Indian Summer surprises
of October.
He greeted Bates not too warmly.
Whats up?"
Sorry to bring you out here,
Denny" Bates began, ''but there
are one or two angles about this ac-
cident to Lonny Dahlgren that just
don't sit right with me-"
what, for instance?"
"Well," resumed Bates, II was
one of the first to reach Dahlgren,
after our pro, Jed Tilton, drove the
ball that struck him. Lonny was out
cold, with a terrible cash in the
back of his head, behind the left
ear. I realized he was badly hurt
and turned to send for help. AS I
turned I noticed Tilton stoop and
pick up the ball that struck Lonny,
hold it for a second or two and then
IS it into the rough nearby.
wondered about that, thought
Ind of funny, and later walked
cVar and picked up the ball.
noliced that the ball was a make I
lie -er knew Tilton to use before I
liked young Dahlgren, Denny. He
was more than a son-in-law to me.
I'm upset, naturally, and confused
about the whole thing, and just
had to tell you about it. Tilton is
in the locker room, now, if you want
to talk to him"
"I'll see him. Where's the ball?"
''That'S funny, too. In the ex-
citement / put it in the top of
my locker and just before you got
here looked for it and it was
gone. I remember the make of it,
if thatW do any good" And Bates
mentioned popular brand.
"M-mm, that is funny" said Nc
Gowan, and started for the locker
room. He found Tilton hunched
on a long bench between a row of
lockers, seemingly near collapse.
"Hello, jed" he said "That was
a tough break, but buck up, these
things will happen. When you feel
up to it I'll have a talk with you.
Routine, you know"
Next day, being Sunday, the
club presented its usual Sun
uai ACTIVITY, but MCGOWAN turned
Immediately toward the golf shop,
walking directly to the workshop
in the rear. The workbench took
his attention. A small bar of
solder, half used, was lying at one
SIDE. MCGOWAN took this and placed
it in his pocket. He reached again
and picked up long, needle-like
nail He examined and pocketed it.
Again he turned his attention to
the bench. After a few minutes he
took a small envelope from his
pocket and scraped into it some
shavings from the bench. He left
the shop and Started for the caddy
pen. He called over one of the boys
and spoke to him. Leaving the boy
he made his way to the practice tee,
arriving as Tilton and a pupil were
leaving. He greeted Tilton casually.
When they had gone MCGOWAN
looked about and walked to a
thickish tree which stood about fif-
teen feet out from the tee and off
to the right. He examined the tree
closely, took out a tape measure,
used it, and left for his car.
For fives consecutive days Nc
Gowan appeared at the club. And
on each occasion he passed but a
casual time of day with Tilton. Each
day he sauntered about the club
grounds. stopping to speak with

My column, Keeping Up With
The Owls" will be found on Page 8,
Don't let up on the Owls. Defen-
sively, since the season opened, they
have shown themselves the equal
of any team in the league. Their
work in cutting down base runners
on their recent road trip, was par
ticularly good.
The team has lacked a scoring
punch, but it is my helief that their
hitting will pick up, and l still say
they are the team to beat in the
league, providing: Cd that they get
their outfeld positions settled; and
(2) that they get the pitching that

.lAnchorage Newsl

ItAnchOrage NeWS)
 Although it is some distance removed from us the dssenson brewing in the Veterans Alaska Co., operative Company Haines, interests us no less because the fate of another Alaska experiment is at stake The present plight of VACCO recalls happier days in 1946 when most everyone hoping the group would get the Chkoot Army Barracks.
 Just as matter of record. Kenneth OHarra, who bid the same amount for the army property as the Veterans group-$105 000was later denied the prop erty in decision made by the then Assistant Secre tary of the Interior Gardner.
 Mr. Gardner decided that the best interests of the area would be served in accordance with the Surplus Property Act and the property turned over to Steve L. Homer, representing the veterans organization.
 At that time the plans for the 70 buildings and the surrounding land embraced the establishment of a grocery store filling station and other commercial outlets designed to serve several hundred veterans and their families.
 The filing of a complaint by several of the mem bers of the group asking for receiver and an injunc ton preventing the paying of salaries until an ac- co,nting of funds has been made is an unfortunate change from what the project expected to achieve. Whether or not the status of the project would have been different had MT OHarra been success ful in obtaining it is hard to say. At any rate, for the sake of VACCO ana It's members for the sake of the Territory n general is to be hoped the differences can be adjusted and that the project will grow to benefit the frst-laid plans.

Couple Married
 By Old Russian
 Ceremony Here

For the first time in decade, a wedding ceremony was held in Ju- neau in the tradition of the Old World Russian Orthodox Church. The wedding united in marriage Miss Ida Miller of Riverside, Calf, and MT. Pedro R. Barril of Juneau, and was held Sunday afternoon at the Russian Greek Orthodox Church. The elaborate service was performed by the Rev. Athanasius Ossorgin of the St. Michael's Cath edral at Sitka.
 The Church was lighted by tall tapers and each wedding guest was presented with a small candle to hold during the ceremony. Ira ditional Russian wedding songs were. sung by the local Russian Greek Orthodox choir during the service
 The climax of the service was the placing of the wedding crowns, brought from Sitka for the occa- sion, over the heads of the wed- ding couple.
 Symbolizing the protection of the Trinity, the couple walked three times around the altar, while the crowns were held over their heads by the crown attendants. Crown attendants were Manuel Diaz, Jr., Catalina Barril, Jr., Alfred Stepe- tin, Frank Sison, Ray Cahoppe, and George Barril.
 Miss Miller's wedding gown was fashioned of white net and had a long train Her tiara was of lace, with matching lace at the neck and bodice of her gown.
 Miss Miller, who just ar rived from Riverside, Calif., last week, is a nurses aide at the sherman Institute. MT. Barril, who is the son of MT. and Mrs. Cata- lino B. Barril, ST., of Juneau, is a commercial student at Riverside College. The young couple will return to California soon.
 A banquet was held at the New Chinatown Caie immediately after the wedding and reception was held last evening at the Catholic Parish Hall.
