A general mixup in which w. NJ

the head with chair alleged to have
been welded by Ralph Brosheaur, ran
five blocks and hid under a house,
from which he was finally induced to
come by the discharge of a police
mans revolver, occurred last night at
1850 Lawrence street.
Brabender says he has been engaged
for about a year to Miss May McIn-
tosh, who lives at the Lawrence street
address with Mr.. and Mrs. Miller, who
also figured in the scrimmage, and
adds that the Millers do not look with
favor on his suit, and thinks they have
maligned him to his fiance.
He says that while he was having a
heated argument with the Millers
about 1t Brosheaur, who lives next
door, entered and at once terminated
the affair with an article of furniture.
Brosheaur says that when he ar
rived on the scene he found Braben-
der and Miller mixing it." "Braben-
DER" he continued. "has the reputation
OF being q champion 'rough-houser,
and thought I was doing the right
thing in giving him little OF his own

Brosheaur was allowed to depart,
while Brabender, after having his
wounds treated at the receiving hospi-
tai, was held on a charge or disturb

TAKES STAND AGAINST
RACE TRACK GAMBLING
"MORAL BACKBONE" SUBJECT
OF SERMON
Great Issue Before People at Present
Time, Says Rev. viii A. knighten
of Union Avenue Methodist
Church

Rev. Will A. Knighten. pastor of the
Union Avenue Methodist church, was
one of the ministers who took a de-
cided stand against the race track
gambling yesterday. Rev. Mr.. Knighten
spoke last night on Moral Backbone
In Religion and Politics." taking for his
text Pilates indecision In which he
washed his hands in innocence regard
ing Christ and in appeal didn't meet
the question squarely, but said that he
did not find him guilty. neither did he
acquit him.
Rev. Mr.. Knighten said:
There is a moral question before the
people. Sometimes 1t is referred to
judges and legislatures. In California
there is a great question of the race
track gambling. That is one of the
great moral issues which requires de.
cision.
I'm the first place protection is re-
quired by the people for themselves and
their children, their money, the insti-
tutions; protection from violent and de-
signing men who make 1t business to
play tricks and take money from inno-
cent people; who constitute highway
and form a school for criminals.
These endanger business and create
desire for sudden wealth which takes
possession of man until he plunges
into the race track gambling; from
this we have a history of suicides, rob-
berry, embezzlement, murder, infidelity
in the home, homes wrecked, women
become murderers of women and men
murderers of women aud countless un-
known ruins and ruined lives.
'It is the duty of the people to de-
mand law to protect the people. This
should be made an issue at the polls
and is the duty of every good citizen"

MAKES APPEAL FOR CITY
MISSIONS AT TEMPLE
Rev. r. J. Burdette Says Anti-Gam-
bling and Anti-Saloon Meas
ures Are Included in
This

1t was city mission day at the Tenn
pie Baptist church yesterday and Pas
tor Robert j. Burdette preached on
the topic, Worse Than Infidels," TAX
ing for his text l Timothy, 5:S-"If
any provide not for his own, and espe-
cially for those of his own house. he
hath denied the faith and is worse than
an infidel."
Worse than a heather. Charity
should begin at home. If it doesn't, it
never begins. A man should first of
all care for himself; for his own soul;
he should make himself a man; he
should equip himself for service; he
should make himself strong. A SOL
dier studies the school of the soldier
the manual of arms; the position of
the soldier; the facings and the move
ments he can make all by himself.
Then he will be of some account to
his company; he can be of some service
to his regiment: he will be a unit
brigade maneuvers; he will be a file in
an army corps; he will be q soldier
in the United States army. But he be-
gins with mark time and learning
what to do with his own hands and
feet, of which he has at first as many
as a centipede. So a mans very first
duty is to himself. Then when he is
out of his apprenticeship, when he is
one of Gor's workmen, he can and
should do for others all the rest of
his life.
'Give, give, give; this was the teach
ing of Christ Give your time, as the
Son of God gave to eternity. Give
strength, as Jesus gave till he tainted
under the cross. Give your substance,
as He gave food to the hungering null
| titudes in the wilderness. Give your
best gifts, as He gave eyes to the
blind, speech to the dumb, health to
| the sick and life to the dead.

and for city missions and better
