[ Murder-Suicide
Still Is Mystery
SEATTLE. Wash.. Aug. IB—(UR
—Nearly four years ago police
found the body of a well dressed
Wan, about 40, in an alley here.
The man had been shot once
' and a .45 caliber revolver was by
his side. The coroner's office listed
It a suicide and set about to estab-
- ltoh Identity.
Although there were no papers
on the body, coroner’s officers
fltured It would be an easy case
to solve. The man wore specially
built shoes because one leg was
abater than the other.
"Just another like hundreds of
CMOS we get," officials said.

been no exceptions.
Checking back ova the yean
shows that nearly 3,000 boys have
started their business careen with
papa routes. Many of these fine
young men, the subecrlbers over
the years win recall. Boom of
these people still live In El Reno,
while many have since moved
away.
Back In 1B33, when The Tribune
was still the El Reno Dally
Democrat, such up-and-coming
young men as Arnold Sawallisch,
Bobby O’Brien, Homer Ricketts
and Frederick T. Btackpole were
all doing their job of delivering
the dally newspaper to H Reno
homes.
Coming along a little later were
Carl Greene and William A.
Morris, Earl Armold, Robert Bell,
George Blffle, Bill Biggert, Gene
Hall, Phillip Higginbotham, Jim-
my Hodges, the late Garden
Jackson, Laird and Clifford Ma-
rls.
Still others In the long, long
line of boys were Rayford and
Daniel Johnson. Jack Kltsmllter,
Herbert Little, Orover and Max-
well Murphy, BUI Rallsback, Rob-
ert and Harold Sheets, Clark
Selva, Kenneth and Paul Stearns,
Dnay and Earl Whltacre and
Bob Woodhouse. .
and finally years. The quest fori
Identity has led across the country
but officers admit they are no
closer to a solution today than |
they were then.
They admit a note left by the)
man apparently had as much'truth
as prophecy. The last part of the
note read, "... an Investigation of |
my death will be a waste of time.”
And then there wow Charles
MS Wank Ogden ... It Menu
that brothers predominated. If
Ntore were several boys in a
family, as In one case, all wen
carrier boys. As wen the Aherns

The list reads like a Who's
Who—and It to. Fa while there
to not room to list the present
occupations, and whereabouts of
all those boys, without exception,
aU are successes In their line of
work. Many of them are In the
armed services, particularly those
boys who were carriers In more
IMent years.
Here are just a few more who
are readily called to mind: Carl

As nea as The Tribune moods
show, Jackson Reynolds, who
began carrying The Tribune In
1346, and continued to May of
1381, has the longest record as
a carrier.
STRICTLY HUSH
MADISON, Wto.— <U.B —“If my
boss sees that, I’m sunk,” the cab-
bie said as he handed a passenger
who had asked for a light a book
of matches and told her to keep
them. The iriUchbook carried an
advertisement for a rival company.
KNOCKS OFF BIRDIE
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — (u.R) _
Harold Fleming scored both a
“birdie" and a bogey-five on the
same hole. The “birdie," normaUy
a one-under-par, was a red one
that Fleming nailed with a hooking
drive while the cardinal sat on a
tree limb at Mill Creek Golf course.

We Feel That We Have A
Personal Interest in The Tribune
Four of my sons are listed among the
boys who served as Tribune carriers,
in times past. And I am happy that
they could begin their careers in close
association with our home daily news-
paper.
The abstracting in connection with
the sale of The Tribune building
by Elmer King to Ray J. Dyer was
handled by this firm.
