IN GETTING EVEN

ers, But Wrong Ones.

at the county Jail, under $500 bond to
the grand jury for petty larceny. He

Dear Brother Williams: l have just
sent you telegram cancelling my en-
gagement with you for tomorrow night

take my place. The reason for doing
this. which 1 regret very much, is the
may have seen some reference to the
matter in today's papers. She was
out walking yesterday with our two
boys, one IA and the other 10. They
had taken their rifles with them, and
all three were going to do some shoot
ing at a target on the lake shore just

one of the rifles she was accidentally
shot just above the left knee. She is
now in the hospital, and is getting
along nicely, and will be out again in

for me to be away from home, and
am quite sure that you will agree with
me in that.

PEELED to cancel my engagement, but 1
am confident that you will have a good |
time with Brother Brummitt. Some |

my failure to appear at this time in
