you won the suit. L am glaii you did

for you, he has fallen in it himself.

her hand asking the other churches to
help her out.
hope the rest of the churches will
continue to have nothing to do with the
First Church troubles.
Everybody with common sense knows
that when a minister accepts a call to a
church, the letter is always published.
The flight will have to be with the
First Baptist Church and the Fifth st.
Baptist Church and advise the church
es to keep hands off and have nothing
to do with it because it is a clear case of
wrong treatment of you.

base line and about eight feet high.
It was towed ocean-ward by tug

When the target was about three
miles from shore and under tow it ap-
peared to be about the size of Il mans

Regan fired twelve-inch gun. The
shot struck about eight yards astern
of the moving mark. Carefully Re-

ceased when the target disappeared.
