And the dear delights

Frank c. Chapman, who shot and
fatally wounded c. X. Hedges last
Monday evening. will probably
come up before Judge Clark next
Monday morning. w. X. Gibson
has been retained to defend the
young man.
Both Chapman and Hedges had
joined the Woodmen of the
World within the past month, and
the affair is considered a very
unfortunate one, especially by
members of that order, who were
well acquainted with both men.
Chapman was considered a quiet,
inoffensive young man, and his
being the chief participant in a
tragedy was a great surprise to
those with whom he was best ac-
quainted.
The young man claims that he
always tried to avoid trouble with
Hedges and IS greatly depressed
ON account OF his death, although
he still stoutly maintains that he
was justified IN shooting Hedges,
a. he thought his own i,ie vas IN
danger.
After the shooting young Chap
man telephoped Sheriff Barr. say
ing that he had had trouble with
Hedges and shot him and wanted
TO give himself up. requesting the
sheriff to come after him, which he
did.

Boys who have passed through this

Warrant officers not over thirty-flve
years OF age are eligible TO appointment
TO the rank Of commissioned officer
after having served six years as warrant
officers. Commissioned officers are in

pany of the local theater.
One morning Mrs. Lander told J. r.
Spatman, stage manager at the time.
that the cushions upon which Elizabeth
was to die should be stuffed with hair
instead of straw. When she found the
cushions still stuffed with straw at the
end OF the second act in her last re-
hearsal she summoned the stage man
ager. One of the many titles her ad-
,mirers gave her was the Ideal Queen,
and her company said she never looked
the part more than at the moment when
poor Spatman appeared before her. She
was in the full royal robes of the Nader
Queen. and without anger, but full Of
chilly dignity, said to him:
''Mr. Spatman. l notice that those
cushions are still waiting TO be stuffed
with hair. despite my suggestion to you
some time ago. Surely you are stage
manager enough TO know that Queen
Elizabeth would never have slept upon
straw. Besides. it makes a disagreeable
rustling which detracts from the effect.
Please call an upholsterer and have them
properly stuffed. We will wait"
Spatman declared afterward that he
