was mistaken for deer by a young man named Beatty and shot dead. White and his friends were hunting together and young Beatty was hunt ing alone and was concealed in dense underbrush on a deer stand.
 White approached the stand and Beatty thought he was a deer, as he
 wore straw-c -colored coat. Beatty raised his gun and fired at the ap- preaching figure with a shotgun load ed with buckshot. One of the shot entered Whites left breast and an- other broke his neck He died al most instantly.
 Jesse Gaunt, a friend of White s, who was a short distance away at the time of the tragedy, rushed to inves- tigate and found White already dead. He and several of his companions then set about getting the body home, and had to cut a pathway for some distance through the undergroWth.

NEW JERSEY
 REPUBLICANS MEET

Trenton, N J., Sept. 19.-What is likely to be one of the most exciting state conventions ever held by the Republicans of New Jersey assem- bled here today for the purpose of deciding on a candidate for governor Never before was the political situa- tion so complex, due not only to the split in the Republican ranks brought about by Senator Colby's new idea movement, but also to strong anti Roosevelt sentiment among some of the delegates to the convention. Jus tice J Franklin Fort of the supreme court and Sheriff Frank H. Sommer of Essex county are about the only active candidates in the field for the gubernatorial nomination. The new idea" element favors Sheriff Sommer, although it is stated that Senator Everett Colby has announced that he will support Justice Fort, if he is
 nominated by today's convention. Justice Mahlon Pitney has also been mentioned with some degree of en- thusiasm. and it is possible that he may be compromise candidate.
 Just what attitude the party will assume toward the liquor question no one appears to know, but it is known that the brewers have demand ed that the Bishops law be repealed. The Republican leaders are in doubt as to how they should meet this is sue, which will be one of the greatest of the campaign. Some of the dele gates demand that the party stand pat for the Bishops law, which was enacted by Republican legislature two years ago, while others advise compromise in the form of local option measure giving each cOmmun- ity an opportunity to decide whether or not the sale of liquor on Sunday shall be allowed. With the influential brewing and liquor element on one side demanding the repeal of the Sunday closing law, and the church
 
 be allowed to remain on the statute books undisturbed the leaders of the party are between the devil and the deep blue sea. Senator Colby, the leader of the new idea reformers, who voted for the Bishops bill two years ago, is now said to favor local option.
 The Democratic state convention originally set for Monday of this week, has been postponed until next week. With the Republicans ap- parently distracted and disrupted, di- vided among themselves and with prospects of still greater disintagra- tlon, there is every chance of a Dem- ocratic victory at the polls next No vember Whether this prospect will become reality depends largely on the platform adopted and candidates nominated at the Democratic c2nven- tion. The voters of the state a.e tired of the eternal trucking to the cor operations and vested interests which has been the policy Of both parties in New Jersey for :.Iany years. New Jersey is admittede cor rupt, but no longer contented The honest citizens want a cham and are not particular as to W &c. 5a@ty effects it.
