...over land 50 miles north of Tacoma. Following rabbit tracks he cut through an alder thicket, stumbled over something. It was the naked body of a small boy, with head bashed in, lying stiff and frozen in the snow. Hunter Morrow rushed home, told his father. The local sheriff and his deputies came, examined the body lying 200 feet from a highway, studied fresh tire tracks and footprints, decided the child had been murdered elsewhere and been dumped there the night before. In a few hours Federal Agents arrived and the body was definitely identified as that of Charles Mattson...
...their runway, crashed down on the spot where he would have been standing if he had not been at lunch. He went to the foreman, got steel posts put up which saved his life next time some trucks crashed down.

First Federation gun was fired last week when the Cleveland heads of the Plumbers', Machinists', Electrical Workers' and Bricklayers' unions sent Fisher Superintendent Scafe a joint letter denouncing...
...death was personally ordered by the local military satrap, General Sung Cheh-yuan. Shackled behind a motor car, the prisoner was dragged through the streets of Peiping while buglers blew their loudest and policemen beat up anyone who tried to use a camera. End came near the Peiping garbage dump. There 10,000 people watched the frost-nipped Lu Ju-hsin as he was forced to a kneeling position. Up behind him stepped a snappy Chinese soldier, placed the muzzle of a pistol against the back of the prisoner's head, killed him with a single bullet...
