However, 1t Is hard to see, in view
Of conditions today, how we are to
get two feet more water on top OF our

journal would figure 1t.

Especial to The Gate City.]
KAHOKA, Mo-, June 11.-A shoot
ing affair occurred over in Washing
ton township Tuesday, Samuel Wells,
aged 25, and Henry Tilford, aged s.
are the principals In the affair. The
latter received the contents OF a
charge of shot from gun in the
hands of Wells, which took effect IN
various portions Of his body. The
shooting grew out of some i'll feeling
which had existed between the two.
Young Wells claims the shot was fired
in self defense. Just how serious are
wounds of Tilford cannot be ascer-
tanned. Wells came to town and gave
himself up to the authorities, but as
no information had been lodged
against him he was permitted to re-
turn to the home of his parents. 1t
is to be hoped the affair is not as SER
ious as is reported.

Judgment Rev. Nelson said that
Judgment would be certain and that
Jesus Christ would be the judge. He
declared that the day of judgment
would bring joy to all who loved and
accepted Jesus, but sadness to all who
had rejected him, or professed to be-
Iieve in Him. but in works had denied
Him. Rev. Mr.. Nelson said that it was
a very impressive fact that the One
who had created us and who had died
TO save u.s. should be our Judge.
