AT the weekly prayer meeting at

night the Rev B. e. Root delivered an
interesting lecture on 1.-THE Panama
Canal, Its History and Religious
Meaning The lecture was enjoyed
by the many persons present. The
speaker referred to the first historical
record of any plan to build such
canal. It was proposed in 1920, but
was opposed by Philip II of Spain,
who said that God had made it an
dsthmuS instead of strait. The same
year marked the landing of the PHI
grims. in this country. He referred
to the wonderful growth of the Unit
ed States while the countries of South
America had made little progress.
Things might have been otherwise
had the canal been built in 1920. The
speaker stated that the building of
the canal had much religious signifi-
canoe and would inspire much mis-
sionary activity and zeal.

few days ago, and died in the hospital
DIR Russell and DIR Conkey testified
to the mans injuries. 1t seemed that
when he called to see DIR Russell he
had Authorizations, and a large swell
ing over and in front of the right ear,
He seemed to be bothered mentally
and it was the doctors opinion that
his peculiar fancies may have arisen
from his injuries. DIR Conkey testified
that she examined the man when he
was taken to the hospital and she
found an indentation in the skull that
might have caused death. Still the di-
rect cause of his death was the injury
he inflicted on his throat. The injury
to his skull was not so serious in his
case as it would be in that of map

the accused, and before 1T was given
heard the accused threaten Prapu-
lenes. The weapon was piece of rub
Der hose about two feet long, with
chunk of lead inserted in one end.
Attorney Guilfoile tried to prove
that Caster had a grievance against ac-
cused and that he had instigated civil
suits against him.
The defense was general denia1.
Accused testified he merely struck the
man on the shoulder, though Detective
Kennaug. testified that accused had
told him he struck in self-defense; that
Prapulenes had an axe with him.
After the blow was given Prapulenes
left the saloon. but returned soon after
and stayed there till closing time
One witness testified having heard
Prapulenes say A-e had been to another
saloon and In fight there got struck
on the head 1t TRANSFERRED, however,
that it was the day before 1rapulenes
was in accused's saloon with the axe.
Attorney Guilfoile succeeded in having
the complaint changed to simple as,
sault. Sentence was Suspended.
