north with her, arriving in Co
lumbus Dec. 13. They stopped in
Redwood where a companion
who accompanied them north was
dropped off and came on to Mar
ion Dec IL where he thought he
could get her a job at a place he
identified as "Casey's", Hoffman
reported.
Job Fell Through
The job prospect fell through
the suspect said, and they went
to Columbus.
He told detectives he dropped
the woman off in the vicinity of
Fourth and Main streets and re-
turned to Redwood. He had seen
her but once since in a restau-
rant in Columbus about the mid
die of January.
He told police he was in Flori-
da looking for a job. when he
ran across the woman.
Hoffman reported the man was
married but not living with his
wife and indicated the man had
been in trouble previously. He
said the man gave several leads
on other men who had known
the former cafe hostess who was
beaten and stabbed to death in
the Ohio hotel in Columbus
March 81.
2 Others Held
Although tabbing him a Key
suspect, police also arrested a
42-year-old bellhop at the Ohio
hotel and a 48-year-old Columbus
railroad brakeman, The latter
admitted as did the Redwood
man that he had registered at
Columbus hotels with the Nc
Bride woman as man and wife,
but denied that the Ohio hotel
was involved, police said.
All three were slated for fur
their questioning, Detective
Hoffman said, as efforts were be-
ing renewed to break the case.

First, it would be foolish to
construct something wholely in
capable of meeting the needs of
the county. 1t would be such a
waste of money that the present
board has agreed that it would
not assume the responsibility for
such action.
Second, smaller than 50-bed
hospital will not pay its way, so
what could be built with the
funds now in hand would be a
foolish move. The board knows
from extensive studies that So
bed hospital should break even.
That is all one should expect, be-
cause obviously hospital is to
serve the community and not be
financial success.

of danger" at his home following
the attack, according to Sheriff
H. S. Roosa.
DeBolt, according to the Sher-
Tiff, emphatically denied know
ing Hogue had been stabbed. He
also said he did not take the
money from their victim but ad-
mitted Carr later gave him S1O0.
The two men represented to
Mr.. Hogue that they would take
him home from Redwood. In
stead, they beat and stabbed him,
then lifted his money, he said.
The crime occurred before they
had gotten out of town.
After the attack, Mr.. Hogue
was able, around midnight
Thursday, to start for home by
himself. He managed to get as
far as York Center, he told
Sheriff Roosa, where he became
unconscious. AT about 4 a. m, he
said, he recovered consciousness
and was able to get on home.
Stabbed in Throat
AS a result of his wounds, Mr..
Hogue was delirious part of the
time, Friday, but he was not be-
lieved to be dangerously hurt.
The stab wound was about three
inches deep and in his throat. 1t
narrowly missed the jugular
vein, the Sheriff said.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hogue and their
children reside on t n e former
Yves Hoover farm, TWO miles west
of York Center, which Mr.. Hogue
purchased recently.

Discussion of the sewer con-
struction was brought up when
a bill for S767f.68, includingseen-
lstruction of the catch basins, was
read before the Solons.
Dale Overly, chairman of the
finance committee, said he had
been present to watch the con-
struction of some of the catch
basins and knew that they were
not being done according to
contract specifications. OF e r
Councilmen also stated that the
methods and materials used were
not according to the contract.
Use Old. Unclean Bricks
Mr.. Overly stated that the
bricks being used in the basins
were the old surface bricks from
t h e torn up street, which the
construction men were not given
permission to use. In addition,
he said, the bricks were not be-
ing thoroughly cleaned before
being used, leaving the possibili-
ty of not having a tight basin.
Motion was made by Mr.. Ov-

for the most part, and Referee
Everett Alexander Sr. had little
trouble keeping the game under
control.
According to the points listed
in the official score book on the
Faculty Hi Y battle, the game
ended a tie, 33 apiece. However,
this is disputed by the running
score kept in score book and the

That question has been fre-

the columns of this paper, the
question it still being heard.
Here is the answer direct from
the Hospital Board:
The plan originally adopted
and judged by the Board to be
adequate to meet the needs of the
County will cost, at today's prices
for building and equipment, $780,
900. Anyone who has attempted
to build within the past two years
will understand that costs have
constantly been rising.
When the job might have been
done for 100000 less, the money
was not available and no con-
tractor would submit a firm bid.
At no time has there been suffi-
cient money to justify starting
construction. Obviously there

ing statistics regarding the So year

The amount of moisture received

the only month in 1948 that re-
