LEFT ALTAR TO
STAB His MAN

DETER. Mo-. Aug. 26.-while the
Rev. =. c. Butler lSnelt in prayer with
a score Of converts at revival being
conducted in a gospel tent near here,
John Horton, whom the church people
had considered under conviction" /"
quietly left his seat in the tent, went
outside and probably fatally stabbed
Oscar Leathers. He then returned
and lxnelt with the congregation while
the minister continued his supplica-
tion.
Horton, who is a country boy. 10
years old, had quarrelled with Leathers
earlier in the day. and his friends say
was called out of the tent by Leathers,
who declared he wanted TO apologize
for words spoken during the quarrel.
Horton says he acted in self-defence
and stabbed Leatbers after he had
been attacked. Long after the prayer
was finished Horton knelt beside his
chair, where church workers found
him weeping. Not until they question:
ed him did they learn of the stab.

THESE BURGLARS
WERE CLUMSY

Not only did thieves try to force an en-
trance into the house Of David J. Rein
hardt at Greenhill and Willard avenues
early yesterday morning. but they at
tempted the same thing at the home OF
Harry e. spealxman at Greenhill and Del
aware avenues.
A nurse in MT Reinhardts home saw
two men prowling about on the lawn. She
armed herself with a blackjack and Mr..
Reinhardt, who was aroused. secured a
revolver.
While preparing 10 effect an entrance
into the house, one Of the burglars drop
ped a jimmy on the front porch and be-
coming alarmed at the noise, they fed.
Mr.. Reinhardt then telephoned to the po-
lice. The latter arrived in a patrol wagon,
but the men had long since disappeared.
That the burglars were clumsy was
evidenced by the fact that at Mr.. Speak
mans house they made more noise than
at the home Of Mr.. Reinhardt. At the
second stop they fell into a number of
empty milk bottles, which made such a
elatter that again they were forced to
fee.
