JAP GUN W|ELDER
 |S GIVEN FREEDOM

Without leaving their seats, and acting on instructions from Judge Reid, the jurors before whom was tried the case against A. Tsukamoto, charged with murder in the first deg rec for killing N. Mizourio, coun- tryman and fellow employe in the cannery at Igagik bay, yesterday af- ternoon returned a verdict of not guilty. The government had q weak case and E. E. Ritchie and Joseph Murrey, the attorneys for the accused man, had no trouble in showing that the killing was done in self. defense.
 With one exception the witnesses in the case were Japanese, the eX- ception being Peter Clausson, white employe of the cannery management. Claussen testified that the first he knew of the killing was when the su- perintendent, w. T. Hale, called to him to get some lumber and make a box in which to bury "a dead Jap" Some fifteen minutes later the body of Mzourio was under ground.
 Aside from the defendant the only witnesses for the defense were those called first by the prosecution. These witnesses furnished considerable amusement by the manner in which they persisted in giving their impress sions, and finally attempts to keep them from telling more that those things actually witnessed were aban- , doned.
 All of the witnesses expressed the opinion that the man who was killed was q dangerous person, and the tes. timony brought out the fact that the deceased and the defendant had had trouble before. The trouble resulting In the killing was caused by the ob. iection made by Mizourio to working at night. After the trouble, Tsuka moto went to his bunk, where he was later found by Mizourio.
 The evidence Is that after few words Mizouria jumped into Tsuka moto's bunk; then came the report and Mizourio rolled onto the bunk with bullet hole neatly drilled through his forehead.

HAPPY RE SUITS
Have Made Many Owosso Residents
Enthusiastic.

No wonder scores of Owosso citizens
grow enthusiastic. 1t is enough to
make any one happy to find relief after
years of suffering. Public statements
like the following are but truthful
representations of the daily work done
IN Owosso by Doans Kidney Pills.
Elmer Brown, employed in ID. 81 NJ

Morris St., Owosso, Mich, says "My
back was very lame and if attempted
to stoop or lift anything was seized
with sharp, shooting pains. tried a
great many remedies but failed to find
relief. Finally l procured Doans Kid
ney Pills and felt relieved from the first
and continued taking them until all the
pains had left. recommended Doan's
Kidney Pills to other sufferers of kidney
trouble and confdentialy feel that if
they are taken as directed, good results

The Oriain of "Parson.v

"Parson" is from the Latin per
soma" person, and the parson is the
persona ecclesiac, or representative, of
the church. The forms parson and
person bear the same relation to each
other as clark and clerk. From being
pronounced parson the word has come
to be so written. Blackstone in his
commentaries" says:
"He is called 'parson' (personO be-
cause by his person the church, which
is an invisible body. is represented,
and he is himself body corporate in
order to protect and defend the rights
of the church which he represents"
"To parse n sentence" is to resolve 1t
into its grammatical parts, and the
verb is declared to have arisen from
the interrogation "ParsT - that is,

speechO used by schooimasters.

then he turned once more toward the

Pew Quizzes Pulpit.

A movement to give the man In the
pew chance to talk back" was be-
gun April &c by DR.. Lyman Abbott at
New York. In place of the regular
evening service he delivered q discourse
on "What Christianity Has Done For the
World" after which he invited his au-
dience to reply to him. The idea origi-
mated with DR.. Knox of the Union The
illogical seminary, who said at recent
conference that the lack of interest in
church services was due to the fact
that the minister behind his pulpit was
impregnable: he could say anything,
and the man in the pew2was forced to-
listen, though he resented what was
said. Several persons availed them
selves of the privilege at DR.. Abbott's
church, among them several persons
who wanted to know If he did not
think socialism would be the cure for
social ills. He replied in the negative.
Another Episeopalian Hereto.

resurrection of Christ is only beauti-
full fairy tale and the theory of the i'm
