Today's Memory Stretcher (By CNB) Do you remember when Major Reno, the Indian fighter, and a real honest to goodness man made his home at the old Lochiel Hotel with his wife and son. He was with Custer in 1876, but was crucified by the politicians because he did not have a good press agent like some of the others had He was married to a Harris burg lady.

MENTAL EXPERTS NAMED BY COURT TO EXAMINE MAN Rankin Is Given 18 Month Term; May Require Treatment A commission of two mental experts and an attorney will inquire into the mental condition of Eugene Rankin, 30, Enola, under orders from the Dauphin County Court to produce more than the ordinary "formal" report of a lunacy commission. Rankin, a star athlete in his school days and a university grad uate, pleaded guilty late yesterday tofour charges of felonious entry into nurses homes, private dwel lings and the Sylvan Heights Or phanage and to attacks on women inmates. His nightly excursions over a period of six weeks and his sudden attacks upon the women kept city police on a constant day and night vigil until finally, on June 14, he was arrested when he claimed his auto, which police had towed to City Hall.

On the commission are Dr. Ed ward M. Green, Dr. Max Levin, alienist at the Harrisburg State Hospital, and George Kunkel, at torney. Rankin was sentenced to a year and a half in prison.

If the commission finds he needs mental treatment, the time re quired for it will be deducted from the prison sentence. Moody, Wife Says Rankin's wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Rankin, Louisville, described her husband as moody, irritable and fault finding; his father in law, Dr. J. C.

Burke, Lafayette, noticed the same neculiarties, and his father, L. P. Rankin, In dianapolis, told of severe head in juries suffered by his son on high school and college gridirons. Upon these facts, Dr. Ralph C.

LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE: While Honest Men Sleep 25 PERSONS GET TITLES TO LOTS AFTER 7 YEARS Dauphin County Court Gives Clear Deeds to Oakleigh Plots Twenty five persons who bought lots seven years ago in Oaklelgh, paid for th'em three years later but never obtained a clear title, were? provided that necessity today by the Dauphin County Court. The development lies just east of Paxtang and is a part of the onco large Bonnymead Farms of th Boyd Estate. In 1927 the Mechanic Trust Company gave the Boyds si $100,000 mortgage to secure the purchase of Oakleigh by the bank. The Boyds then sold the mortgage to, the Commonwealth Trust the Commonwealth thus retaining a blanket mortgage against all lots in Oakleigh. The same year the Mechanics conducted an auction sale and sixty six of the lots were sold to twenty five purchasers, who were to pay in' fuiyn thirty six monthly payments, a period of three years, after which they were to obtain free and clear; titles to their lots.

They paid in full and were delivered deeds by the) Mechanics, but the deeds were not free and clear because the Commonwealth still held the blanket mort gage. The average purchase pric per lots was $400. Mark T. Milnor, special counsel for Secretary of Banking Williaror D. Gordon, who has had charge of' liquidating the Mechanics since it closed three years ago, has been working to unravel the akleigli problem for a year.

Final setfle ment was made with the Boyds recently by. Milnor in satisfaction ol the mortgage, at a saving of almost $10,000 to the bank. Confirmation of the settlement by the court now provides clear title for their lots for the twenty fiv purchasers. Incidenally, it also will permit a further auction of other lots in Oakleigh which is scheduled for late this week. 4 LATE DR.
