BURN£B TO DEATH

B ^ Indian School Notes Virgil Winnie has had perfect

attendance thus far this year. The Regents report from Big

Indian school is quite satisfactory. Harold Greenberg, having finish-ed geography; and spelling, is now attending Fleisdimanns h i g h sdiooL Charlotte Pomeroy passed g e o g r a i ^ and spelling. Helen Whispell raised her spelling mark and passed silent reading. William Crtiidcshank did the work of the 7th and 8th grades in arithmetic, and passed the Regents with an honor maiic. He also raised his silent rieading to an honor maiic. He is now working for an honor average in June.

The pictures which come bi-monthly afford the school great interest as well as instruction. The pictures give visual aid in the study of nature, as well as in geograidiy and history. The next box of films is due to arrive on Feb. 15. Everyone interested is welcome to come and see them.

A i^otographer visited our school recently. We are awaiting the proofs which we hope will be good.

Valentines are in the thoughts of the pupils at present. Many are being made out of the various colored paper of the ar t classes. And speaking of art, the upper classes have painted some very nice color charts, and have used their own ideas in painting masks sudi as were used in the ancient Greek drama.—^Big Indian Cor.

Andes Man Freed Harry Truesdell of Andes will

be released from Auburn state priscHi next Thursday, after serv-ing a sentence for second degree manslaughter. He was convicted in Schoharie county in 1933 of striking and killing a woman with his car. He was released in 1936, on parole, but was returned to Auburn as a parole violator.

Truesdeli was convicted of kill-ing Mrs. Rose Dunn, 76, of New York city. According to a police investigaticm at the time, Mrs. Dunn climbed a fence in an effort to escape being hit by the Trues-dell car, whidi was allegedly ca-reening f n m one side of the high-way to the other. Two other per-sons were injured.

Death of Sextus EOnkley Mrs. Harold Hillriegel received

word that her uncle, Sextus Hink-ley, died Monday morning at the home of his niece. Miss Clara Wood, at Callicoon. Mr. Hinkley ^)ent the greater part of his life in this place but for the last few years he lived in Callicoon.—BeUe Ayre Cor.

(Cc«tinued from page 1) vahres of two tanks fuel oil in the cellar to blow out, spraying the entire interior and Col. Ben-nett 's body with blazing oiL Nothing else could account for his being so completely burned.

Eddie Berg, an employe at Aknusti, the first to readi the scene, called Pearl Gnmdy, George Bye, and other men who work on the estate. The house was then a raging inferno and there was no water available with which to fight the flames.

An investigation was promptly started by Sheriff Alton D. Bart-lett. Coroner C. Sumner Gould of Walton, and Trooper J. P. McGar-vey of the Margaretville police patrol. They found no evidence that the fire had been other than accidental.

All that remained of the attrac-tive cottage were the the blacken-ed foundations and the chimney standing like a spectre in the center of the smoking ashes. Every single object that could possibly bum was consumed in the fierce heat. A tea kettle on the kitchen stove was melted down into a small bit of metal. A china closet, wiiidi crashed into the cellar, was completely burned and only a pile of broken dishes and glassware remained. "Die only articles sav-ed by the survivors were the nig^it clothes they wore at the time. They did not have time to put on dressing gowns or slippers.

Col. Bennett for five years was riding instructor at the Tunis lake boys' camp. He entered the em-ploy of Mr. Gerry last September when the camp closed for the season. His immediate superior, Harry Main, managpr of the breeding stables, was so complete-ly crushed by the tradegy that he could not discuss it.

Col. Bennett was the perfect example of the typical English army officer. Tall and straight, prematurely gray, he commanded the attention of everyone where-ever he went. In the short time he had been attached to Aknusti, he had become one of the most popular men there.

The colonel received his com-mission during the World war when he was attached to the 11th Dragoon guards of the English army. His war re<*ord was full of feats of valor.

Col. Bennett was bom in Eng-land September 24, 1891. He re-sided for a time in East Orange, N. J. He was a member of the American Legion Post No. 3 of Sarasota, Fla. His wife was the former Helen Torpey.

Mrs. Bennett, whose quick thinking and total disregard for her own safety, resulted in the rescue of their pretty six-year-old daughter, Jacqueline, and Mr. Bennett's mother, is in Delhi hos-pital suffering first degree bums on the face and arms and cut on her hands received when she smashed a window to drag the child from the flaming cottage. Her condition is not serious. Jac-queline and Mrs. Mattem were unhurt.

MILK A RACKET? (Continued frwn page one)

Reynolds, former member of the Pennsylvania Milk Control board; Dillon and Frank N. Decker, Syra-cuse attomey and dairyman.

Dr. Reynolds complained that milk dealers juggle freight rates "to rob the farmer of his just profit" and that the farmer "needs laws to stop this chiseling prac-tice of milk distributors."

He declared that farmers lo-cated near a market are robbed of a profit that should come from low freight rates as a result of their favorable location and that farmers as distant points are chis-eled out of their share "because those who buy their milk juggle the freight rates."

He charged the distributors with converting fluid milk into light manufactured products neeu: the point of purcheise but then charg-ing freight rates for the heavier, fliud product.

Dillon asserted that an investi-gation by Attomey General John J. Bennett showed that "milk used in manufactured milk products gives the farmer the smallest re-tum, yet that very milk brings the distributor, through its manu-facturing subsidiary, the largest profit."

Gives Pinochle Party A pinodile party was given by

Don Kelder at the home of How-ard Van Loan last Saturday eve-ning. High scores were won by Mrs. M. BUsh and Paul Smith. Other prizes went to Mrs. K.
