CLEVELAND, O.. Dec. 21. Per
plexed by both the Identity of the
vtttlra and the motive for his slay
In, detectives today believed
some rite of voodoo Jam would ex
plain the killing and beheading of
a man whose body was found In a
basement here yesterday.
Instead of seeking the loVntlty
of the killer, detectives had to re
verse the usual order of crime
mysteries and trace the identity of
the slain njan.
They had under arrest Doss
Wade, 37, negro, and an alleged
"voodoo healer," who told them he
killed the man, but they were un
able to learn who the victim was.
Wade was arrested yesterday
shortly after the body of a decapi
tated man was found In the base
ment of the same house. Wade
tried to flee detectives, but was
brought down with a bullet wound
In each leg.
He told detectives he had "beat
en Nemo Olhbs to death with a
gas pipe, robbed him of his weekly
pay check of $35 end a watch, and
then carried the body to the base
ment and severed the head, which
he hid In a cupboard.
Oibba, however, walked Into the
police station a short time Inter
"very much alive." Then the "doc
tor" thought his victim might be
Ulbbs' brother William Gibbs, 25.
but he, too, was found unharmed.
Detectives said Wade then re
fused any further information and
they admitted themselves baffled.
They would assign no reason for
the decapitation other than some I
voodoo rite.

County Agents in Budgets
Several county courts in Oregon,
slttinfr. with citizen's budget com
mittees, had the usual wrestle
this year with the county agricul
tural finent of expense.
In one county, not proitouncely
agricultural in complexion, fie.il
agents of bauks and some business
men requested the court to in
clude in the county's budget an
amount necessary to finance the
woik of 1 1m a-nt and his office.
A delegation of indignant farmers
protaoicd, raisins the usual hue
and cry about -being told how to
farm by some young college fel
low whore horny callouses were
more likely the product of hand
ling a football than holding plow
handles.
in . another county, docldcdly
more agricultural than the first
mentioned, farmers, organized and
unorganized, supported the county
agent budget item, with certain
city and some county interests op
posing it.
So it has run, over the state, a
conflict of opinion over the value
of the agent's work and doubt as
to whether It Is worth while to
maintain such a joint representa
tive of the federal government,
state, county and state agricultur
al college.
Significance of this frequent dif
ference of opinion, if there is any,
seems to be the fact that in most
instances the county agent and his
work are maintained. One his ser
vice to receptive, progressive
farmers not the stubborn ones who
need no help or instruction and
whose fences are often in -worst re
pair, is made clear to county
courts and the taxpaytng public,
we have noticed a subsidence of
opposition. Carlot purchases of
fertilizer, boys' and girls' club
work, seed certification, availabil
ity of cheap explosives, experi
mental plots, availability of O. A
C. extent ion the farmer's life is
too short and his business too pre
cious to warrant his struggling
against problems that county
agents, through their training, are
able to handlo intelligently and cx
pediously. Mind you, we don't hold grief
for any and all county agents.
Some of this negative attitude on
the part of farmers. In whom ex
prrlrnre has U'ft deep furrow of
self-reliance and n'sourceiuinfss,
may have been justified In differ
ent sections of the state. For It
lakes a while for a young college
chap fresh from his books and
campus breezes, to cultivate the
common touch with skeptical men
in the fields.
Averaging the whole thing up.
It doesn't appear that county
agents and their work are suffer
ing from these flnreups of opposi
tion. Actually these arguments
over their hu'lget items may he a
g:od thing for what the agents are
doing neivmg lo shake them
down Into a belter fitting niche in
the various communities here
they are at work. And that, to
our njlnd. would be a good thing.
