NIAGARA FALLS, April S.
Frank Easley, an army deserter,
was at his home here the other
night when two secret service men
appeared. They were met by Miss
Nellie Easley, the deserters sister,
who was entertaining Ray Schneid-
err, her sweetheart. She burst into
tears, embraced Schneider, calling
him Frank" and cried out that
she could not let them take him
away.
Easley was in the next room and
overheard all. Schneider was led
away and the sister followed him
to the front gate, sobbing. Over
three miles of rough road the Off
GERS led Schneider to the Jail and
locked him up. When he thought
there had been sufficient time for
his sweetheart's brother to escape
he told them who he was. The Of
ficers trudged back to the Easley
home and found that Frand had
fed.

that he could stay in congress to
whack the Roosevelt policies. He
was up here two or three days ago,
billing and cooling with the new
head of the administration. So
was Senator Dick of Ohio. One of
the last things Roosevelt did be-
fore quitting the presidency was to
hand Dick an assortment of jabs in
the way of appointments that were
calculated to make all the Dickites
in the Buckeye state sick unto
death.
Senator Hale of Maine, whom
Mr.. Roosevelt delighted to poke
with sharp end of the Big Stick,
and who, on the other hand al
ways acted tickled beyond meas
ure when he could thwart the
Rough Rider, was one of the call
ers at the white house last week,
and had a perfect lovefeast in the
sanctum sanctorum. AS near as |
can make out, the president has
won about all Roosevelt's old
friends over to him and has made
an excellent start into the ranks of
his enemies. He has been in office
now whole month and has not, to
my knowledge, called any one a
liar"

SAYS THEY SHOT
HOLE in HIS LID

A hole in Special officer Best's
hat today tells a story of a pitched
pistol battle in the gloom around
the Holy Names academy, Superior
street and Boone avenue, last
night. according to Best's version.
Half dozen shots were eX-
changed. but so far it looks as
though the officer got the worst
of it.
While hiking with catlike tread
around his beat by the big knOwl-
edge block the officer came sud-
denly upon pair of suspicious
looking characters, squatting upon
the ground in the semidarkness.
Whether they were shooting
craps. swapping idle yarns or d.
viding the spoils of some holdup
job. the officer had no chance to
learn. for they bounded to their
feet at his first appearance and
were off-neck and neck.
Halt" Justify shouted the man
behind the star, but there was
nothing doing. Determined to
stop them. he declares, he fired a
shot in the air and was quickly an.
swered with a volley from their
artillery His hat flew skyward as
something struck it with a SHARP
snap. He fired a couple more
shots, but without avail-perhaps
they are going yet. He recovered
his hat with some difficulty and
found that it had been supplied
with an air hole.
