Newspaper Sailing.

The brightest of newspapers have
cloudy sailing at times. During the
heated term, while others are basking
in the cool breeze at the sea side re-
sorts, the overworked and poorly
paid editor is compelled to plod his
weary way through the hot streets,
picking up pointers, from which he
weaves the interesting bits of inform
alton that makes his paper popular.
An editor is easily satisfied: circum'
stances compel him to be. He works
harder for the community in which
his paper is printed and gets less foI
it than any four men you can name

claims that he was not ,here at the time
and is trying to prove an alibi. However,
keonker was murdered in the most pre-
meditated and cold-blooded manner I'M
aginable in his tent on n sheep ranch of
John Gheerdts, near Garrison. He was
shot with his own gun, and as his face
was powder burned, the gun was I'M
doubleday held within five or six inches of
his face.
Mrs. keonker says that Segar asked to
see the gun, and when it was handed him
he opened 1t TO sec if it was loaded and
then fired the shot. The belief is that
Segar was somewhat infatuated with Mrs.
Keonker and killed her husband with the
intention of marrying her. All parties
interested are Germans and Keonker was
an old German soldier. having served in
the Franco-P russian war
