 When the fresh bulletins appeared. however. and the true story of the affair became known the excitement gradually subsided
 Parental influence caused McL.augh- lin and Brown to confess the facts. The formers father found the pistol with the only loaded chamber dis charged in the buggy in which the boys had driven. to the water works. When confronted with this evidence the son admitted that he was holding the revolver when 1t was discharged. He could not explain how the revolver was discharged and said that the bcyx conceded the first story because they were frightened by the accident.
 Keys stood by his companions after they had brought him to the Hospital here and told Dr. Munson who at. tended him the false version agreed on during the drive back to town. The physicians found that the bullet had pierced Keys's breast and ranged up- ward into. the upper lung.
 Because of the excitement caused by the first reports of the accident extra precautions were taken by Col- onels Moriarity and Foreman in com mand of the two military sectionS of the city to prevent the gathering of crowds. The members of the patrol were also Instructed to spread the true version of the accident and to arrest any person discovered, counseling vfo- fence to negroes. M

Beaaars Are Ingenious.

Nowhere is the ingenuity Of the
present age more apparent than in
the begging letters received by rich
men," said a private secretary. IT
have been reading letters Of that kind
by the hundred for the last fifteen
years. Formerly all begging letters
sounded alike. So stereotyped were
they that they might have been copied
verbatim from a ready letter writer.
Now the writer's display originality.
They may want the same old things
that their predecessors wanted, but
they ask for them in different way.
People in need have acquired the art
Of expressing themselves forcibly.
That is to their advantage.
'It may be unjust, but usually it is
the letter that hits the rich man hard
est that brings a favorable reply. The
writer may not really need assistance
nearly so badly as some timid person
who can't get away from trite phrases.
but he gets the relief asked for every
time."-New York Globe.
