Live to kill few more policemen"
That is the assertion Of Louis Pratt.
the self styled Adam Cod" the relig-
ious fanatic who is lying in the gen

the little band of religioussenthusiasts,
is still at large.
Moved by "Revelations."
Mrs. Pratt, with two of her young
daughters, spent last night in the ma
tron,s room at the police headquarters,
but Mrs. Sharp, who fired two shots
that struck Policeman Mullane. was
confined in the city jail.
'I've been in trouble before" said
Mrs. Pratt. IF I can be killed for
righteousness sake shall be eternally
happy Mr.. and Mrs. Sharp. our leaders
were known to us as Adam and Eve
and we believed in their teachings.
1t was revealed to Sharp last summer
that our meetings were to be inter-
fered with again. We armed ourselves.
.If the police attempt to arrest you,
shoot our leader said. They can not
kill me. I'll live forever The first
heard Of trouble yesterday was when
Lulu and Mary came running down to
the boat and told me shooting was go
ing on. Then the officers came and
wanted to take us away. got my Win
chester down off the wall, and told
Lulu to get gun. We all got into the
skiff. / was not going to, shoot unless
had to, because had had no chance
to ask either Adam or Eve what to do.
TIM sorry I did not resist. I'm afraid
have lost my eternal life because
think Adam would have advised me to
snoot."
Mrs. Sharp "Got Religion"
Mrs. Melissa sharp told Of the wan
derings Of the band. Il was born IN
Mountain Grove, Mo-, 81 years ago on
farm" said Mrs. Sharp. I married
Sharp, farmer, twenty years ago. We
went to Oklahoma and took up claim.
We had no religion then at ALL About
six years ago my husband came home
one night and said he did not think we
were living right. He had had a revel-
ation of the faith of God. We began to
read the Bible. A week later got
revelation. Then we both repented for
two weeks, weeping and mourning, not
because we wanted to, but because we
could not help it. The spirit OF Coo
came to us the same that it came to
Adam, to David, to Christ. We then
sold our farm, gave the money away to
people who were poor, and started to
oreach. Since then we have Travelled
thru Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, I'LL
nois in Manitoba and Saskatchewan
We lived on gifts made by converts and
by small sums offered us by whoever
cared to. One man who found the light
sold all his property and put $1,000 in.
we kept all the money in q common
fund"
