SHOOTING IN KENTUCKY.
Frank Colston Kills One Man and
Wounds Another Before Meet
ing Death.

Hopkinsville, KY, July News has
just reached here of a terrible tragedy in
Trigg county late Saturday evening.
Frank Colston, desperate character re-
siding in that county, had difficulty with
and shot and severely wounded John
Rhodes, farmer. Another farmer
named Hammond, who was present and
who was friend of Rhodes, attempted
to interfere. Colston then shot and in
stantly killed Hammond before he could
render any assistance to his wounded
friend
For some reason Colston, after wound
ing Rhodes, did not shoot again, probably
thinking him dead. Colston did not at
tempt to escape nor did anyone attempt
to arrest him. A few hours later Colston,
IN company with woman, went to the
house Of another farmer. The farmer or
dered the desperate and the woman to
leave the place. They refused to do so
and attacked the farmer who, securing a
weapon, succeeded in killing both Colston
and the woman.

A Nap with Wolf Looking On.

G. Mcbride had quite a narrow escape
while out wolf hunting a few days ago
i ear Hopewell. The hunter had taken Il
position on a stand, where the wolf had
been seen to pass several times in front
of the hounds. After sitting for an hour
or more, and no wolf appearing, he lost
his vigilance and dropped to sleep. Pres
entity he was awakened from his peaceful
slumber by the cracking of some twigs
close at hand Imagine his CONSERVATION
on opening his eyes to see the wolf within
ten feet of him with jaws wide extended,
eyes cleaning and teeth glistening in the
sun. The hunter was so startled that he
Immediately sprang to his feet, which
frightened the wolf, causing him to gallop
off in the opposite direction. Being alb
sorbed in thinking of his narrow escape,
the hunter neglected to shoot until the
wolf was nearly 100 yards away. Then
collecting his scattered senses he seized
the gun and opened fire; the charge took
effect at once and brought the wolf down.

SILK FLOSS KEEPS OUT BULLETS.

Japanese Soldiers Lives Saved by Wear
ing it for Chest Protectors.
An excellent bullet-proof shield can be
had by wearing silk floss underneath the
uniform. A correspondent writing from
Yokohama says that the Japanese, to
keep out the cold, wore a quantity of
this material under their clothes, with
the result that in many cases it acted as
a bullet-proof vest.
Many must have remarked and Won
dered why it was that, although the
fights in Manchuria were said to have
been SO severe, the japanese losses were
invariably very few, and those of the
Chinese extremely heavy. Much of the
disparity in the losses of the two COM
batants was due to bad craftsmanship
on the part of the Chinese; but a great
part of the immunity of the japanese
from the bullets of their antagonists was
due to their wearing floss silk.
