Smith sad that Cook was surely first
To stand upon the pole
And Brown said Peary was the man
Who won the Icy goal
Brown added then a few remarks
On Shith's varacity.
And Smith responded with punch
On Browns anatomy.
Now where had Brown gained Arctic
lore
To give his Views such weight
He once within skatin-rink
Had cut the figure
And where had Smith acquired his
fund
OF information rare ?

POOL EXPERT IS JAILED
James Malone, Formerly Well
KNOWN Here, Shoots a Man
at Salt Lake City
CAUSE REMAINS A MYSTERY

James Malone, who for years held
the title Of champion pool player of
The world and who at one time was well
known in Kenosha, having pool room
in Racine, and where he had large
class to whom he taught the games
Of pool and billiards. is under arrest
in Salt Lake City, and is charged with
attempting to kill Nels Paulson, man
ager of bar fixture company. Ac
cording to report received in this
city today, Malone shot Paulson while
The two were in Paulson's office. The
cause Of the shooting is not definitely
known The two men had a dispute
over business matter, and Malone,
drawing a revolver, shot Paulson, the
bullet entering the body about an inch
below the heart Malone was placed
under arrest and Paulson was taken
to hospital where physicians made an
examination, but were unable to trace
the course Of the bullet, but the indi-
cations tended to show that it ranged
to the right and lodged in the muscles
near the medal line and that it did
not strike any vital organ nor pierce
any large arteries. The bullet proba-
bly, missed piercing the stomach by less
than an inch.
Malone refused to tell why he shot
Paulson and the police at Salt Lake
City have not obtained statement
from Paulson.
Malone came to Kenosha off and on
for some years playing exhibition pool
here. He went to New Mexico for the
benefit of his health, and later went
to Denver, Col, where he was employed
as billiard instructor at the Denver
Athletic club. A year ago Malone left
Denver, going to Salt-Lake City where
he opened up billiard and pool parlors.

ANNUAL MEETING
Old Directors Reelected e. A..
Halsey of Chicago Speaks

IS
3. A. Halsey Of Chicago, who gave
the address at the banquet of the
Young Men s Christian Association,
last night proved to be an interesting
speaker and the effect Of the talk will
doubtless be that more men will en-
deavor to promote the association idea.
The subject of the address was sug-
gested by the wireless telegraph opera
tor of the Republic who proved himself
to be the hero Of the hour when that
great steamship was wrecked Mr.
Haisey said that the letters ". NJ G..
A. mean a great deal to thousands of
young men all round the world and
though their message is entirely unlike
&c. @. d. they form a signal well
worth needing. The speaker then pro
ceeded to give concrete illustrations
the work of this great men S
club showing how it has interested
men of all classes and races in every
corner of the globe.
The hall and tables were Iastefully
decorated and the menu first class, re
fecting credit upon the ladies of the
Auxiliary who had the banquet in
in charge Mr. McGibbon sang two
splendid solos during the evening.
Messrs. Frost, Jorgensen, Buckmas-
ter and Austin were reelected to the
Board of Directors of the association
to serve for three years.
