Turnage, former United States
Commissioner here, was be-
queathed a $1,210 estate by her
husband, records revealed yester-
day in District Court.

ly modest estate was a result of

81 in veterans hospital at Oteen,

Fire, of undetermined origin,
gave this city quite a scare about
IL o'clock last Thursday morning,
when a small shack directly behind
the business block on the south
east corner of Clark and Commerce
streets, belonging to the Reese Es-
tate-the shack used as a storage
space for waste paper and the
general public. According to the
Reese family, they attempt to keep
the building locked against tres
passers, but the locks are contin-
ually broken by unknown persons
In less then five minutes after the
/ alarm sounded the firemen had two
bumpers and a tank wagon at The

The building is only separated from
the store building by a small bacl
yard. The tenants whose prOpert

was endangered were the stores of
Mrs. Frank Langrell, Harvey Cam
per, package liquor store of Harry
Greenberg, barber shops of Eu-
gene Anderson and Benjamin Knox
and store of Benny Brownstein.
However, none of these buildings
caught fire. The Reese Theatre
Building is directly across a va
cant lot from the burning building.
In fact the firemen had to push one
of the Reese Theatre trucks ont of
the way so they could run the wa
ter wagon i'm near the fire. The
building was flooded with water and
was enhabited by several rats. The
building is estimated to be valued
at about S100. 1t is expected city
council will condemn the building
as fire hazard. Mr.. Greenberg
was so grateful to the firemen for
their services that he presented
them with a donation even before
the embers had ceased smoking.

SLOANE ARRIVED at the fire
tower, its spindly steel legs strad-
ding a hilltop of the state forest, be-
fore he realized that his three-mile
walk was finished. The iron stairs,
~zigzaging upward to the glassed-in
chamber, presented their usual diff
ficulty, but he climbed them slowly,
unlocked the trapdoor above his
head, and stepped into the square
room.
He lighted the oil heater-for the
mornings were still sharp-and I'M
covered the iron stand that sup
ported the circular map, its protect
ing glass and the bronze sighting
rod, receivable on the center of a
graduated circle. From tAe bag con-
tanning his luncheon ne took his
field glasses.
But, though habit noted al he saw
within their range-the gray land
scape touched with a haze of green,
d~istantly spotted by the browns of
plowed fields, and pierced by church
steeples, white monitory fingers that
marked scattered settlements-his
customary pleasure was clouded by
preoccupation.
That this peaceful countryside,
budding into its wonted loneliness,
could be invaded by 80 unnatural a
thing as murder seemed impossible.
But that the victim should have
been his good friendi The shock of
that loss dulled his senses, wrenched
his thoughts from his own affairs.
John Wieri Dead! And only two
nights ago they had sat together in
Wier's house, two rather lonely men,
finding in long silences that COM
radeship which may not be attained
by mere conversation. If ne had
even dreamed that it was destined
to be their last night togetherl

He lowered his glasses as tht
sounds drew near-isolation had be
gotten in him an interest in the rare
passer-by. The car stopped, and
man climbed out, looking ludicrous

When he hooked up, Sloane saw tina
he was Jim Bowles, the town eon
stable. The other, a state trooper
he did not recognize.

"Lots of things happen" Sloane
smiled, turning from the world out
side to glance at the ~red-faced, hard

hills-well, I'd say a good deal hap
pens up here. And always a filling

SLOANE STOPPED in his circuit
of the room and faced the constable.
"For mel" he protested. why, he
was my friend!"
"But 1 amt the coroner" Bowles
looked straight into the frank, gray
eyes that regarded him with amaze
ment. Look at it from a strangers
angle: Here's a man, the town treas
Wrer, murdered with his own axe
m the night, and town money stolen;
you're the last one to see him alive
you say you left his house before
10 o'clock.
"Mrs. Heap testifies you come m
around ten, you go up to your room,
you walk around, restless-like, and
then you go out again a little be-
