There are a good many people in this
country who believe that the United States
Will never again be engaged in war, and
that all expenditure for coast defense and
far the maintenance Of the army and navy
~ merely a reckless waste OF money.
There is some reason. in what they say,
but although is country Is lesseTpos d u
war than are European nations. II has quc-'
tioos and disputes occasionally with for
eIgn powers. Two such questions with our
very powerful British neighbor are now
pending, and although there is no lin"i,ul-
ate danger OF hostilities resulting from
them tneir mere existence ought 90 be suil-
Glen, 10 suggest that The country should not
be left entirely deienseless.

Killed His Brother-in-iaw.

HUMEsToN, TO-, August 11.-There is
great excitement In this vicinity over
the killing Monday Of Liberty Shocks
by his brother.in-law, Deak Gwinn, the
result OF family trouble. Shocks lived
about four miles northwest Of here, and
Gwinn near him. A little after noon
Monday Gwinn appeared in the road in
front of Shocks house, called him out
and told him he had come to kill him.
Mrs. Shocks didn't want her husband to
go out, but he didn't appear to be afraid
OF Gwinn, and went out to where his
horses were tied to the hind end OF a
wagon. He told Gwinn to go away,
that he didn't have time to fool with
him, and began TO unite one OF the
horses. Gwinn then asked If
he had called his mother MRS.
Gwinn liar, and Shocks
said he had, whereupon Gwinn leveled
his double-barreled shotgun on the
fence and told Shocks that he had him
now. Shocks told him that when he
got ready to shoot to fire away, or
words to that effect, and Gwinn pulled
the trigger. At the first shot Snooks
was about twenty-three feet from
Gwinn. He put his hand up to his
side and turning to boy, q nephew OF
his. who was standing near, told him to
go for doctor. The shot had scared
the horse he had united, but he held
on to it, and when about forIy-five teet
away Gwinn shot the second time,
when Shocks fell dead Gwinn then
shouldered his gun and went of down
the road toward his mothers home.
After the inquest Monday night, Gwinn
walked with neighbors to Corydon, sur
rendered to the sheriff, and was placed
in Jail. Shocks leaves wife and three

NETWORK, August 1l.-Heury Bar
tets, ~ bartender In Theodore Field.
stein'sealoon and restaurant ut 026
Grand street, touched an electric
motor In the: saloon last Friday and
fell over dead. As usual, the electric
light men say there was not enough
electricity on the premises tokill any
body, and they don't understand how
Barties got the shock that killed him.
Bartles was a years old, stood five feet
ten inches in his stockings, was broad
shouldered.a and as strong as an OK. A
year ago Mr.. Feldstein bought G. and
G. one horsepower electric motor, and
had 1t screwed down to the forward end
OF the bar, neal" the door. The
electricity that ram it came from
brush circuit that ''never car
ried more than 500 volts" according to
the Brush people. No one ever trusted
the motor, Mr.. Feldstein says. When
ever any repairs we're needed men from
the electric light company were sent
for. The bartender on duty turned the
current on or off. 1t was B,srtel's turn
on duty tonight, and IL WIS about 6
o'clock when he was killed. One OF the
party called for drink. Barteis was
then leaning over the motor. At the
instant the call was made for q drink
the man Strengthened up, reeled and
fell over on the floor. The three men
and Mrs. Feldstein ran to- him. He had
not uttered o sound. His eyes were
wide open and turned upward.
The lfnemen who had been notified
by the police came around and declared
II to be their opinion that Bartels had
not touched the motor. at all, but that
he had died OF heart disease. They
made search OF the wire for breaks on ,
the ground, but found none. The mo-
tor was not running. The cut-out lev.
er was turned as far to the left as 1t;
would 60.
There was no possibility, they said,
of leak, and the motor could not
therefore, be charged with electricity.
They were careful not to touch 1t to find
out.
DR.. Richardson. who was hastily
summoned. said there was no doubt
whatever that Bartels was shocked to-,
death. There was an entire absence oil
the signs that indicate death by heart
disease, he said. One OF the walters
with whom the reporter talked said
he saw the whole thing. He
was standing watching Barteis, he
said, when the bartender walked
over to the motor, and leaning over it,
reached around behind with his left
hand for box Of cigars that hadlfallen
off pile. III was quite long reach,
and to steady himself Bartels put his
right hand On the brush OF the motor,
which is on the side next to the inside
OF the bar.
A moment aiterward he turned hall
around. and apparently tried to pull his
hand away. Then he Strengthened up
and his eyes rolled upward
until only the white could be. seen. AS
he Strengthened his hand dropped from
the motor. He swayed back and then
forward for q moment and then fell
headlong on his side.. "He didn't
VINCE" said the waiter, when he put
his hand on the brush, but the in.
slant his hand touched the wire he was
gone"
