Chapter 10

Chapter 10
MATURE was doing its best to
~ make Sunday an suspicious
day. At midmorning, wagon ar
rived at Diamond r loaded with
trunks and other items sent across
from the Waldens. There were pri-
vate head-shakings and guardedly
voiced opinions as this was un-
loaded.
Beneath the normal excitement
there was a building tension. In
every mind was the unvoiced
question, what of Matt larson?
Everything had been quiet these
last few days-too much so. So it
was that, while attiring them
selves in their best Sunday finery,
the Diamond r boys did not for
get their sidearms-
Proof that they might be needed
came as they neared town, going
in compact group. Men from
other friendly outfits met them
near the outskirts.
Matt Tarson's IN town." was
the report ''Tryin' to drink UP all
the liquor the VOLTS got in stock.
And maxim his brags that there
won't be no weddin' today-but
more'n likely a funeral tomor-
rowl"
Steve listened, tight-hpped. 1t
was no more than he had ex-
pected.
The difficulty was that Steve's
hands were tied. He had to meet
his bride and look after her. There
was nothing that he could do until
Matt chose to make his play, pick
ing the time and place.
Melody was to meet him at the
church, being escorted there by
the Waldens. Cass Walden was to
give the bride away. The church
had been gaily decorated for the
occasion, and the preacher was
coming over from the County
Seat. Nearly everybody in the
Bend was in town. This was some
thing particularly special. Wheth-
er the outcome was wedding or
a killing. it promised to be big
day.
Steve was annoyed, but not
worried. The talisman was a solid
feel against his chest. Doomrock,
maybe, for Matt-if he got in the
way. Star of Destiny for himself.

Steve'S tone was contemptuous.
'Speakin' of Judas" he said.
Here's your thirty pieces of dirty
moneys"
he was making no try for his
own holstered gun. Instead he
raised his clenched hand and
threw - thirty glittering coins
which caught the sun and sent il
breaking and dancing in a wild
confusion. Straight into the face
of Matt larson.
They struck hard, driving him
back, binding him, sending him
clawing at his face with both
hands, dropping his gun. Newly
minted gold coins, and by now
every man in town knew that
Matt larson had been paid in
such eagles at the Wolf the other
day.
Steve did not make a gesture
toward his own gun. The con-
tempt in his voice dashed like a
quirt
There's your Judas money,
come back to you, Matt" he said.
And, STOPPING, he kicked Tarson's
dropped gun SO that it skittered
across the meadow grass and slid
smoothly into the waters of the
Passover with a small splash.
What might happen then hung
by thread. Matt larson stood,
glaring, the winking coins in q
scattered circle all about him. His
face was terrible. But before he
could take any further action,
man came squirting and flung him
self off his horse beside Matt. IL
was Felix larson.

no magic safety wand.
The Senate has passed a bill
providing for Federal mine in
spection, with power for the Gov
ernment to close down mines not
complying. The House Labor
Committee is now studying the
bill.
President Joseph E. Moody Of
the Southern operators wrote this
week to a labor subcommittee:
l. Big coal mine owners have
q stake in getting Federal mine
safety regulation passed because
small and medium sized mines
would not be able to comply with
Ia rigid system of elaborate safety
rules. and would have to close
down.
2. The United Mine Workers
led by John L. Lewis, want the
legislation because the union
through "very close association
with, and influence on. the staff
OF the United States Bureau ot
Mines (Which would do the regu-
lating). can conceivably see an
opportunity to have even greater
influence on the operation of thai

Maryland U. Suspends
Ten Students in Probe
Of Paniies' Raiders

About 10 University of Mary
land panty raiders have been suS-
pended and ordered to "clear out
Of College Park"
More suspensions were expected
today, as University officials con-
tinued their investigations of the
enatching of panties, brassieres
and. other articles of clothing by
gangs of men students, who
stormed five girls dormitories and
two sorority houses late WedneS-
day night.
One of those still being inves-
tigated for possible suspension is
a girl. Oficials said she was one
of a group Of Is or 20 girls who
tried to raid mems dormitory
in a counterattack but were re-
PEELED by the males. The girl in
question. officials said, was on
probation from an earlier offense.
None Was Identified.
None of the suspended students
or those still under investigation
was identified.
A check Of dormitorieS and
sorority house mothers today
showed that very few of the hun
dreds of garments taken have been
returned.
One bundle of clothing snatched
from dormitory H-H was tossed
out of a mems dormitory window
yesterday. Also some of the gar
merts recovered from raiders ques-
toned by university officials have
been returned to owners.
But for the most part, house
mothers said. the snatched cloth
ing is still missing. Unofficially,
it was estimated that the value of
the missing articles would total
over $1,000.
Some student organizations have
begun campaigns to persuade the
panty raiders to return their loot
even if they do it in secret.
Most of the garments taken were
panties, brassieres and slips. Some
blouSes, skirts and sweaters also
are missing, however. One coed,
in Dormitory H-H, had about SITS
to 500 worth of clothing taken,
including two expensive cashmere
sweaters. the dormitory house
mother said.
Most of the co-eds had only one
or two garments taken, house
mothers said.
Dean of Men Geary F. Eppley,
after an all-day investigation yes
terday, in which he and campus
police quizzed about 80 men stu
dents, announced that about 10
had been temporarily suspended
and told to clear out of College
Park by nightfall."
He said he told the students he
would let them know by Monday
whether the suspensions would be
permanent.

were either caught in the act of
raiding the girls rooms or ad-
mitted their part in the University

Mr., Eppley estimated that from

were exaggerated.
