Apache cowboy is held here for the
slaying of Henrietta Schmerler, Columbia
University Anthropology atu<k'nt,
as a reault of evidence obtained
by a department of justice agent,
who disguised himself as an Indian.
Authorities said the prisoner, .Gilbert
Seymour, 22, confessed he assaulted
and killed the co-ed, whose
body was found in a ravine on the
White Kiver Apache reservation last
July.
The agent, J. A, Street, a former
New Mexico sheriff, dismissed his
part in the arrest with the remark
"It wus just in line of duty."

the rosfeivatiOn, announced yesterday
the young Iinjiap confessed he
assaulted Miss Schmerler after they
strated from her lonely cabin to an
Indian dance at White River. 11a
killed her, he said, "to keep her from
telling the white men."

ATTACK FROM NEW ANGLE
# ..3
Government Con fine* tea Farm Where
Liquor I,aw Haw Been Violated
V
Feoria, 111.?What is ?aid to be the
government's first confiscation of
farm lands on which the national
prohibition act had been violated was
revealed here Friday with the announcement
that Federal Judge Louis
FitzWenry has ordered the seizure of
more than 20 acres in Putnam and
Bureau counties wherd prohibition
agents found two stills in 1030.
? J>. <3. Yellowley, federal district ad- j
ministrator, said the proceeding opened
a new avenue of attack for
prohibition enforcers and were based
on a 67-year-old statute directed at
operation of illegal distilleries.
Twenty acres of Joseph Knglehaupt's
620-acre farm in Putnam
county and 1.87 acres of Elmer F.
Flaherty's 208rftcre farm in Bureau
county will be sold J>y the government.
Rights of persons holding
mortgages will be respected. Neither
of the two farmers was convicted
of the liquor law violation.
Yellowley said the statute was invoked
against them because the stills
on their properties were" of such size
that they must have known of their
existence.
Officers investigating recent fires
in Tallapoosa county, Alabama, are
of opinion that the blazes are due to
the activities of' communists. A negro
church and five residences were
destroyed at Alexander City on Wednesday
night. .
Charley Draper, 2'.), confessed slayer
of two men and a youth, has invited
spectators at his trial at Isabel,

his "burial fund."

The Providence Home Demonstration

party at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Luther Powers on last Monday night.
The rooms were artistically decorated
with fall flowers and autumn
leaves while the big open fires cast
a mellow glow over the party. Kvery
one entered whole-heartedly and
enthunjasJti.cally into the Hallowe'en
games which were led by Misses
Christie Hey, Clara Hough and Caroline
ilouSer. One enjoyable feature
was the appearance of a very realistic
ghost which created quite a bit
of excitement among the girls. Af?
ter much guessing and questlbajng
the mask was removed and it was
found thut the ghost was none other
than ltacene West. 'Hie young .people
enjoyed doing a cake walk and
the older ones enjoyed looking on.
Tlvo cake was won by Ralph Willis
and Attrice Crow.
Late in the evening refreshments
consisting of gingerbread, cake and
punch were served by the hostess assisted
by Miss Craig, the home agent,
and other members of the club.
Seventy-five men, women, young
people and children of the community

Legion's Island Is
Great Rallying Point
Twenty miles from Toledo, Ohio, i
in the scenic Maumee river, lies a
beautiful ten-acre island with clubhouse
and recreational* facilities entirely
owned and operated by Toledo
Post .'{.'55 of the American Legion.
This is probably one of the greatest
enterprises of its kind on the part
of a Legion post, representing as it
does, with mainland right-of-way, a
total investment of about $45,000. It
is an ideal spot for the members of
the post and their families to find
recreation .11 the spring, summer and
autumn.
Toledo Post acquired the island in
1022, naming it Gailhrath Island in
honor of Frederick W. Galbraith, of
Cincinnati, a national commander of
the Legion who died in office as the
result of injuries sustained in a tragic
automobile accident. At the time of
the purchase there were no buildings
on the island. An architect member
drew plans for the clubhouse, one
wintf "i which wai- built in 5W2d..
Other improvement- followed from
year to year as they could be financed.
Mo-' of the actual i (instruction
work ?n the island has been dpne by
the { ? -t members themselves. In
building the clubhouse it wa< nccessai\
to tra: -port all of the building
in itio ;al b\ boat. which wa< done by
member- .n then* spare t.iv.e Tons
<>:' ifnunt, i i u-hed rock a".d other
material wee carried on the hacks

; i the -land to the Id'.ng
S 11*.
One of the alt-a* ti\ e fiat..c- of
the i labitou.-e i> a huge slum fireplace
ar.d chimney tn the ma n room.
The stones for the fireplace were obtained
from the bottom of the river,
members of the .post diving for them
and bringing them out one at a time.
The dining room of the clubhouse will
sent about forty persons and dormitory
facilities are available for about
twenty persons. There are about
100 lockers for the use of members
and thp usual equipment of boats and
canoes for such a resort.
The problem of finance, always
i troublesome in such a project, has
been handled without difficulty by
i Toledo Post, according to Glen H.
c I
i
Campbell, a past post commander |
and one of the most active members.^
Funds for the purchase.and operation
of the island have -come from the
dues of members and from various'
j money-raising activities. An initia-i
tion fee of $25 is charged new mem- I
bers and the dues are only $15 a year, I
i including Legion membership. The
post membership, Campbell said, has
run from 200 to dot) each year. Many j
[donations have been received from!
friends ar.d individual members of
the post.
'"The island is officially opened in
the spring, usually about the first of '
May or the latter part of April,"!
Campbell said. "A chef and his wife i
begin operations at that time and.
meals are available at all times up
until the closing of the island in Oc- <
tober. Members pay for meals and
other services just as they would at j
any other club. An outside care- I
taker spends all his time in main- |
taining the premises in proper order. 1
Extra help for handling big parties, j
| Sunday meals and the like is ob
I
I tained from a nearby village.
"The effect of the ownership of
the island has been to make it a
rallying center for Legionnaire - of
northwestern Ohio. Baseball games
j and other athletic events are se'ned'
uled for the island and the post
| meets tw co a month during the >um1
mer for dinner meetings, in the 'ubhouse.
The facilities of the , .and
are used freely by the members. ir
. families and friends, both for k'
ends and. f ir part ies and picnic- . ir'
ing th( week. Like all pr\i<
this character, the island hi- . v?n
. a continual, load, but the p.
always managed to wiggle t' .it
] and pa;. :!-> bills.
The .sland was practically
i from debt a year and a ha .g .
! Campbell said, with less than. -:. i
'to be paid on the clubhouse an. cal
estate, when the mainland r.g:'- f
way was purchased at an a,id.:,
1 cost of $10,000 to provide an entrance
from the highway to the river,
j A right-of-way previously had been
leased.. Recent improvements, he
said, have included two concrete
r>
tennis* court*, a wading pool for!
youngsters, a concrete shufflebonrd
court, concrete and stone grills for
outdoor Cooking and a pistol and rifle
range. Outdoor lighting has been
provided for several of the amusement
devices.
Fairfield Sheep Show
Big Livestock Boost
Winnsboro, Nov. 7,?"By far the
best sheop show we have ever had,";
Kuy many Fairfield county farmers
and others regarding1 the one-day
annual event, held October Id, when
43 sheep and a good many heud of,
calves and pigs were shown, and
great interest was manifested in the
animals themselves and in the progress
being made towards better
livestock in Fairfield county,
h- Of the 43 sheep on exhibitlpn 29
were shown by 4-H Sheep Club members,
according to R. H. Umiiwn,
county farm agent, pnd it was very
evident that they were better blocked
and better fitted than ever before.
Twenty-seven of these sheep were afterwards
shown at the State Fair
and took, ^/editable winnings.
Matthew Patrick, a.4-H sheep club
member, purchased a fine Southdown
ram that was on exhibition at the
State Fair; and Howard Snelling jmrchased
the grand chumpjon Southdown
ram shown at the Fiar. These
will help to improve still further the
blood of Fairfield sheep.
In "addition to sheep at the Fairfield
sheep show. thei;e, were 22 four11
Gr.ernse^ calves and 12 four-H
fHMfcebud pig-<. Fighteen head of
those ca!ve? nnd the 12 pigs were
later sent to the State hair and these
a Do w -n prizes, helping to run the
total winnings < f Fairfield clubsters
to $27?.fi'>. J
.Many .vmaik- overheard at the j
sheep show were to the effect that i

would do nm h t:?wa: ds < renting more

the calf club, borrowed $1,300 and \jrelent
it to the boys to purchase j
