ceased, but saw no blood nor a hat in the door.
 Dr. Laws, who made an examination of the body at the mOrgue, testified that the bullet which caused the death entered on the left side back of the left ear. and ranged upward and diaS- onally 10 the right, emerging from the right eye. He stated that the place where he bullet entered was very much poWeder-burned and that the pistoi must have been held within q foot of deceased when the fatal shot was fired SchIenker, he said, must have stood in the rear and to the left of Reinach when the trigger was pull ed for that particular shot.
 Officer Joe Lane detailed his arri val at the station house and the posi- ion in which he found the body lying.
 He said that the screen door was open and was held open by the feet ot the deceased Had the feet been re- moved the screen door would have closed. He repeated in substance the story told by Schlenker as the causes which led up to the shooting which did not differ from the story told by Mrs Schlenker.
 At l o'clock the inquest was sGs- pended in order that the jury might po to he Schlpnker home for the Dlll- pose of viewing the premises and the surroundings of the tragedy.
 On Tuesday Mr. Sclenker declined 10 make any statement in any public way, but in conversation with d friend he said impressiveiy He was my best friend.
 The hearing is still in progress at press hour.

New York. April 15.-That he had ciety, and that he did not believe in a i fourteen-foot channel down the Missis- sippi river could be successfully dredg- ed were the two things Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) had to tell re- porters on his return from long vaca- ton in Bermuda.

My God will that pistol never get empty??'
 When the firing stopped she spran2 back on the porch and ran to her hus- band. He caught her hands convul l sively and. shaking with fright. eX- claimed:
 @Oh, my God, sweetheart, are you hurt?'
 She assured him she was not and then he looked down, making some expression indicative of the belief that he had killed a burglar. Then he gave an agoniZing cry:
 "Oh. my God. l have killed my best friend, Oh. why did he not speak to me so l would know?'
 IL seems certain that the whole trag- edy hinged upon the half waking inn pulse of the sleeper. whose conscious ness was impressed with the fear that burglars were in the house and, his wife not being present and the house dark that she was in danger. The fact that his wife, instead of speaking quietly became Frightened and scream ei too, only added to his panic. Then her opening wide the front door a which Mr Reinach returned brought him into line With the only light which the sleep-walker could see and com ple1ed the fatal links in the tragedy
 Seeing the terrible results, both Mr and Mrs Schlenker went to the tele- phone to call the police, but neither eoulj read the number and, Mr. Phil lips coming in at the moment, they asked him to call the department, which he did
 Mr. Reinach left the house shortly after 10 o'clock. Officer Barry reached the house about 10:30 and the ambu- lance removed the body 10 the under taking rooms shortly before II o'clock.
 The screaming and the shots reused the neishborhood and a great crowd gathered at the house, none Of whom were present until the tragedy was all over. Officer Barry and neighhor, Mr. Kaufman, remained al the home during the balance of the night.
 As to the surroundings: The shots were all through the front doorway, and it is probably that the wife, in running out. had left both door and screen door wide open, for there is only one bullet hole through the screen door about four feet from the floor. The body was left lying on the porch until the coming of the officers and it's position was precisely that II which it would fall had he reached the thYeshhold in time to receive the shot lying with the feet at the thresh- hold and the head outward. The in dcations are that it was the second shot which struck him, and that when he reached the door he had turned, for the bullet struck him in the left side of the neck back of the center of the ear and ranged upward passing out of the right eye.

The Fort Smith Times gives the following account of the recent tragedy there in which J. l.. Reinach, of this city, was the victim of a bullet from Leon Schlenk- CTS pistol:
 One of the saddest mistakes and tragedies which has stirred this city ill years was that in which J. l.. Reinach commercial agent of the Frisco, lost his life Monday night at the home and at the hands of his dearest friend. ill the mistaken thought that he was q burglar
 There were three bosom friends. Mr. Reinach. Louis Freidmann and Leon Schlenker. Mr Schlenker a member Of the Apple Hat company, Louis F'reid- mann. wholesale merchant. and Mr Reinach The last named was fre- Quent enesI in the homes of his two friends, no week passing when one or the other did not entertain him.
 Monday night he phoned Mr. Sch.en- ker, asking if he had anything on hand, saying that he thought of coming up and spending the evening. fIe went. MT Schlenker asked him if he would excuse him, he was very tired and thou@ht he ou9hJ 10 take d bath and retire, which he did. Mrs. Schlenker and Mr. Reinach chatted for a time and the latter took his departure. II is l pathetic feature of the night, that they had jocularly asked Mr. Reinach why he did n0r marry and he had stated that he should never find another woman who could make him forget the love he bore his dead wife.
 After he had left the house, Mrs. Schlenker prepared 10 retire, their bed room opening off the reception room. She turned out all the lights i'll that part of the house. When she attempted to slide back the folding doors leading into the bed room they stuck, owing to damp weather, and she ierked them but could not move them. The noise only partially arouse her husband and he screamed, ran to the door and be- gan jerking on it.
 Mrs. Schlenker states that he be came more and more excited and rush ed back to secure his revolver. The house was in darkness and she, fear ing that he had lost his mind, joined his screaming Then he succeeded in opening the door. In panic Of fright she ran to the front door and out and around the corner of the house, fear ing that in the darkness he would shOo; and hit her by mistake.
 She states that Mr. Reinach had about time to reach the corner of the street, and that he must have heard their screaming and returned just il time to get in front of the open doors where her husband could see the out lines of man
 She did not know that he had re turned and says she stood around tn corner of the house, saving to herself

This is particularly effective and

For those who desire more snowy

the fancy cretonne sets. These come

Indeed. it would seem to be an easy
matter to furnish an entire room in the
articles to be found covered in the

for themselves of It's utility. Third in-

AS an example. let US place ourselves
In the shoes of third-in- hand, and sup,
pose that the seven of clubs is the card
Originally led. Such a lead would tell
us that only four cards of the suit
higher than the seven are out against
the leader. Dummy's cards In the mean
time have been exposed. and should he
hold queen, eight and four, whilst
all four cards are readily accounted
for and the suit established without
let or hindrance.

OF events will rarely run as sm MOO ,,
that, the eleven" ru>e will be found
invaluable. more SO even than In the
days of whist. Time and again it Will
afford the allies their only opportunity
OF establishing suit. That the dealer
is also in a position to apply the rule
need not be taken into account The
information to be derived from such
convention is of greater service to the
allied forces than to the enemy.
