SHOT HIS COMPANION.


John Baner, a youthful American living
at 1412 Bates street, was shot in the right
leg by young companion yesterday after
noon while the two were out sparrow hunt
ing. Early in the day the boys, armed with
a target rifle, started away from their
homes with the avowed intention of
slaughtering few English sparrows. After
hunting for an hour or so and firing many
shots they met a crowd of boys who were
enjoying a game of baseball on the green
fields at the outskirts of the city. After
playing ball for a while the two hunters
decided to hunt again, and it was on the
second start that the painful shot was
fired. The boys were wading I'm the tall
weeds and looking for birds when, without
warning, Baners young friend shot in the
direction OF his companion at fitting
sparrow, but his aim was poor as far as
the bird was concerned, for it flew on just
the same as If it had never been shot at:
The bullet lodged itself in the calf of
young Baner's right leg and plying
farmer, VINO was driving past, took him
home in his buggy. DR.. Given was called
and cut the leaden ball from its lodging
place. He said the wound was painful,
but not at all serious.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Had you read the full account of the tenn
perance meeting Saturday you would
not have penned the following words in
your editorial of this morning: "But ii is
TO be regretted that in all the oratory on
the subject in Saturdays meeting there
does not seem TO have been anything said
in regard to the fields in which the work
of the minister of the church can be most
effectively done, namely the pulpit and the
home of the parishioner. All the talk was
of civic action"

auguration of a great pledge-signing cam

and which will extend over all the United
States, and urged that there was need OF
this movement even i'm the churches large
as well as small. The whole spirit OF the
discussion was TO the effect that the church
ought to undertake to bring about the very
conditions you mention IL necessary to sue
coed in civic action, namely. the develop
ment of capitalization of sentiment we
steadily hold and preach that the people
will have the kind of a government they
want.
You know that TO generalize and aim at
nothing in particular is largely to waste
ones effort. therefore, to develop sentiment

erty must be listed between the 1st day of
March and the 18th day of May. The
change is the result OF the complaints of
the assessors, who say sixty days are not
sufficient to collect the taxes and declare
that they often have TO work overtime
without pay in order TO complete their lists
within the time limit Several lawsuits
have been occasioned in some of the conn
ties by the assessors attempting to compel
the county councils TO make appropriations
for the additional time put in by them. II
is thought that the fifteen extra days
which the new law provides will be suffi-
cient. IL will also give the county auditors
more time in which to complete their dupli-
Gates. Several other changes are made by
the board and they will be printed for dis
tribution among the county officials.

sary to have a specific thing to be aimed at.
My closing proposition Saturday was
that If we would work on the two lines
of teaching total abstinence and building
up public sentiment for the legal depres-

succeed l am sure you prefer to be cor
rectly informed on this matter even though
it takes the point out of the editorial.
