MURDER STOPS
 CHURCH SERVICE

Salisbury, Mo-, May 25-Suddenly stricken insane while attending di- vine services last night, Joseph Schutte, a prosperous farmer living near here drew a knife and rushing to the altar attacked Father Joseph Lubeley. The father grappled with the maniac but before the startled members of the congregation could lend assistance Schutte had fatally stabbed his victim.
 Covered with the blood of Father Lubelcy, and still brandishing his knife Schutte rushed at the crowd assembled around the altar and men and women scattered before the on slaught. Women screamed in terror and several of them faintcd but the maniac, paying no attention to them, rushed out of doors into the darkness
 A physician was summoned and Father Lubely was taken to hospital where it is said recovery is impossi- ble. He was stabbed four times, one one of the thrusts just missing the heart. A deep wound in the stomach is the one expected to prove fatal
 As soon as possible posse was or ganized and Schutte was finally cap tured as he was nearing his own home.

VALDEZ IS TO HAVE
 FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

As soon as can be installed Valdez will be provided with an electric fire alarm system. On the steamer Port land arrived huge bell weighing more than a ton and this will be hung on tower erected close to the fire engine house.
 The plan for the system provides for installing call boxes in business houses and on street corners, the alarm being sent in by breaking the glass front of the box and pulling a wire. This will cause the bell to sound the taps indicating the location of the fire and the hremon are ex- pected to do the rest.

LAD CONFESSES
 ID BOLD CRIME

Spokane, May 23-Harry Russell, a 10-year-old boy was the person who assaulted the agent and robbed the railroad station at Elk, Washington, of $500 q week ago. Russell has con- fessed and his confession has been substantiated, impossible as it may seem. The 'bold robber'' looks no more than his years would indicate and it was only after he had des- cribed in detail the methods by which the crime was committed, these de- tails being in accord with the facts not made public, that the officers realized that he was telling the truth.
 Charles Wheeler, who confessed to the crime after being sweated by the police, is shown by Russell's confes- sion to have had nothing to do with the robbery and he has been given his freedom.

PRINCESS ELOPES
 WITH AUTO AGENT
Vienna Court Circles Abuzz
 Concerning Latest Esca- pade of Royal Maid.

: Vienna, May 26-Court circles are in furor caused by the announce ment that the Princess Amelie Louise has eloped with an automobile agent. One of the most vivacious and beau tiful women of the Austrian court Princess Amelie has by her scorn of the conventionalities furnished many delicious morsels for the gossips to roll under their tongues but this latest escapade transcends anything ever conceived of by those most fa- miliar with her peculiarities.
 Now that the princess has taken her future into her own embrace and has flown with the man of her choice it is recalled that for some time she has been more or less inclined to absent herself from her associates, and of a sudden developed an amaz- ing interest in automobiling. The man with whom she eloped is de- clared by those who have met him to be fascinating fellow and possess ed of many social graces.
 The present whereabouts of the princess and her lover, if known to her immediate relatives, are kept secret and so is the future course to be pursued with regard to the impul- sive young woman. It is believed probable, however, that she will be brought back and placed in semi confinement, either in Vienna or in some of the nearby provinces.

RABBIT PUT DOG TO FLIGHT.
Remarkable Incident vouched for by
WeIl-known Writer.

While the controversy between the
nature writer's and observers was at
its height, valued correspondent who
lives in Memphis related to the Farm.
er a peculiar incident that fell under
her eyes in her home town. She was
speaking of the controversy in general,
and of Brother Rabbit in particular,
and went on to remark that one day,
while she was selecting meats from
her butcher, she observed a large
black rabbit seated on the counter,
washing its face after the fashion of.
a contented cat. While she was pay.
ing for her purchases, and watching
the rabbit with some curiosity, small
dog, attracted by the smell of meat,
came into the shop and began to nose
around. The rabbit no SOONER caught
sight of this intruder than it leaped
from the counter. and ran toward the
dog, evidently with no friendly inten-
ton. What might have occurred under
other circumstances, cit is impossible
to say, but the dog turned tail and
went scampering from the premises.
Having rid the shop of its traditional
enemy, the rabbit returned to its place
on the counter, keeping watchful eye
on the door. Now, what nature writer,
nature lover, observer of animals, or
moose hunter, is prepared to rise up
and dispute the accuracy of observa.
ton of the Farmers correspondents
She had no gun or other firearm, no
camera, nor any of the various equip.
ments that belong to this branch Of
our native literature. Is her story be.
lievable? The Farmer knows It is
true, but he is not a naturalist nor
nature writer.-Joel Chandler Harris.
