"iieno, josn. Moody came in ant closed the door. "Heard about the ruckus at Condor's." "Nothing came of it," Rosser said carelessly. "Condor was just trying to show me his strength. Stunn nf il " , Moody nodded thoughtfully. "It was Condor who kept talking about the election. He fixed it. Made me mayor to get me to go along, then elected his pals to the council. Nominally, I'm head of the town government, but they can outvote me on anything any time." .' . , 1 "What's the judge like?" "Pete Murcott?" Moody wrin kled his nose in disgust. "All the law he knows he picked up when he served on a jury once back East. And that marshal, Hon singcr " . V "I know about him." Rosser hesitated.' '"What ajjoiit the sheriff?" "He's quiet, minds . his own business, but I've heard talk that Ken Rud brought him here. Aside from that. I'd say he was a pretty good man." Moody paused. "The boys and I have talked things' over.

The businessmen. You met some of them last night." "Josh," Rosser said carefully, "I'm ,not going to align myself with any side, or fraction." . "But Condor's your mortal enemy!" cried Moody. Rosser nodded. "And I'm going to kill him one day, if he doesn't kill me first." He shook his head. "I hate Condor and all his kind. I'll fight them whenever and wherever I can but I'm not go ing to tie myself down to the Good Government, the Decent Citizens or any other group." "That wasn't what we had in mind," Moody said stiffly. "Mon tana has a precedent . . . Virginia City " "Vigilantes?" "They were necessary In '64. The way things are shaping up in Great Plains, Virginia City and Adler Gulch will seem like tea parties." "Hold off your vigilantes," Rosser said soberly. "Hold off until" HE stopped. Boots pounded the floor outside, then the door was kicked in violently. Johnny Hon singer, gun in hand, stormed into the room. ...... "Old man," he said, "I warned you not to throw your weight around in this town!" "What are you talking about?" demanded Rosser. ' "Condor's you' were down' at Condor's a while ago " "Marshal," interrupted Moody, "wait a minute. I heard what happened at Condor's " "So did I. This old boy came in and started knockin' people around. That don't go in my town." . "Your town?" demanded Moody. i - "I w elected marshal," Hon- Higher Prices Put Squeeze On DollarsSpent By Consumers Highest prices and lower in comes continue lo : squeeze the buying power of the consumer's dollar, according to an agricultur al exension economist at Oregon State college. Mrs. Elvera Horrell says it now takes $1 .03 to buy what $1 would buy a year ago. At the same time. Incomes have slipped somewhat lower, than they were at mid-1957.- Higher retail prices, that have inched up to tho high est point on record this June, combined with these lower in comes, have put a double pinch on the consumers purse strings. Although' recent reports show that incomes are on the upswing, per capita spendable income is still not quite up to what it was last year at this time, the ecom- omist notes. If cost the consumer more to buy all major living items, and on most she has to pay an all time high. Food increased the most, clothing increased the least. According to Mrs. Horrell it " ' NEA Tclephoto BING'S FIFTH SON Bing Crosby smiles as he gets his first look at his newest son, as yet unnamed, and born to his wife, Kathy, at Queen of Angels Hospital in Los An geles, Calif. Bing has four elder sons born to his first wife, the late Dixie Lee Crosby. This latest one weighed in at seven pounds, nine ounces. Americans Never Had It So Good, GOP Statistics Show WASHINGTON (UPII -Despile Democratic talk of an Eisenhower-Nixon recession, Republi can candidates are being supplied with rose-tinted material lo con vince the American voter that lie never had it so good. Some of (he statistics look im pressive. Bui they would be even more so if they did not ignore or play down the fact that unem ployment is still running above five million. A memo from the Senate Re publican Policy Committee this week tells GOP Senate candidates that more Americans are work- singer said thinly. "I got no boss. Not even you, Mr. Mayor." "I think it' lime someone cor rected you," Moody said warmly. "We've all of us got bosses. The people." "The people elected me!" "They can also throw you out of office. You're responsible to them. Besides your duties are to enforce the laws, not moke them. You can arrest a law breaker, but you have lo bring him before a court of law." "All right, then I'm arresting Rosser." "Don't be a fool, Honsinger," snapped Moody. "Even Condor wouldn't prefer charges against Rosser for what happened in his place. Ask him." Honsinger hesitated, glowering. "I warned you, old man," he finally said to Rosser. "I don't want you in this town in the first place, but as long as you're here, you'll toe the mark. 1 ain't afraid of you and your rep don't impress me." Honsinger glowered again, gave Moody a nasty look and went out. Moody exhaled heavily. "And that's our law-enforcement arm!" He, too, went out. THE giant, Flon, stood outside the Pleasure Palaee and saw Rosser come out of the hotel and cross the street lo Mary Donley's restaurant. Heitched up his belt and headed for the restaurant. ' Rosser was seated at the coun ter, talking to Mary when Flon came in. "Well, this is a nice, cozy place," Flon said loudly "It was," Mary said coldly, "until you came in. I told you you could take your business elsewhere " "Oh, sure, I can eat anywhere," Flon' said wickedly. "Only I didn't come here to eat." Rosser wheeled .on the stool. "Flon, I .warned you the last time . "Sure," Flon said wickedly, "you're gonna shoot me even if I haven't got a gun." He reached past Rpsser, scooped up a plate ful of oatmeal and slammed it into Rosser's face. (To Be Continued) x now takes a little more than $1.04 to buy the same amount of food that $1 would buy a' year ago: slightly more than $1.04 for a 1957 dollar's worth of medical care and reading and recreation; about $1.03 for personal care: nearly S1.03 for transportation; almost $1.02 for housing. To estimate the change in re tail prices of things used in every day living, a sampling is made on selected items. Retail prices cover the entire ranp,e of family buying including as' many as 2, 000 different products or services. From among these, 300 of the more important ones ara selected for price sampling. The sample includes more than 80 foods, clothing of all kinds rent, home ownership costs, pub lie transportation, automobiles and their operating costs, reading nnd recreation, personal care. medical' care and others. Both services and commodities are in cluded; in- the 'sample. ing, earning more, producing more, buying more and enjoying a higher -. standard of living than in 1952, the last year of the Truman administration. Similar material on the econo mic situation is going out from the nepiiblican"Nntional Commit tee. The average income for a fam ily of four is listed at $7,080 this year, up a rouiu'j thousand dollars trom l!ia2. lhc average weekly wage of factory workers is put at $113.10, compared with $07.97 six years ago. In overall figures, employment in June, 19o8, is shown at Kd mil- lion, an increase of four million since 1952. Total personal income is put at an annual rate of al most 352 billion dollars in June, compared with 273 billions in 1952. Total outlays for personal con sumption are listed at 288 billions, on the basis of the annual rate last spring, compared with 220 billion in 1952. The memorandum also asserts that federal spending for the year ended June 30 has been cut below President Truman's last budget. It ignores the fact that the budget for the new fiscal year is pointed toward a peacetime 80-billion-dol-lar record with an expected defi cit in excess of 10 billions, another peacetime high. For no apparent reason, the Senate GOP figures omit any ref erence to the farm situation. This had been a political trouble spot for the Republicans until the farm outlook brightened this year. This oversight, however, was covered in a recent communique from the Republican National Committee which told GOP can didates that gross farm income for the first half of 1958 wa.s" the highest on record.
