Policeman Athlete
Shoots Colored Boy

Though Policeman c. w. Lippold
counts himself an athlete and has
figured in Marathon runs about the
District, he thought his chances OF
catching a >fieet-footed colored boy
making away with bundle of SUM-
day- morning newspapers too slim, sc
he shot him through the right leg.
The boy, Charles Mitchell, was taken
to the Emergency Hospital and later
removed to Washington Asylum Hos
pital. and I1ppold was suspended as
soon as the case was reported to head
quarters.
Lippold was walking along Grant
place when he saw the boy running
with several papers under his arm
The policeman started after him, but
the youngster promised to Guido the
bIuecoat athlete and Lippold shot. Lip.
pold will be given a hearing before the
police trial board tomorrow.

MARYLAND[RS HAVE
LOST THERE ATH IN
FLYING MACHINES
Failure of Aviator to Fly at
Rockville Fair Disappoints
Whole County.

Montgomery county, Md. has lost its
faith In aeroplanes. The residents Of
that community always have been more
or less skeptical about the stories in
the newspapers of the wonderful prog
ress of aviation during the last few
years; now they are convinced that the
whole thing Is a humbug
And all because something went wrong
with the aeroplane that was to have
made daily flights at the Rockville fair
last week. Just as IL anyone who has
followed the progress of aviation doesn't
know that exhibition lights are seldom
pulled off as per schedule. Washing
tonians know this well. Day after day
they journeyed to oFrt Myer to see the
wrights make the first successful fight
in a heavier-than-air machine In these
them had made many trips that they
were rewarded for their trouble.
They're Still Skeptical.
But Montgomery county is still skep-
teal. From Ear and near the farmers
and country people came to the fair
to see the airship, which was to be the
chief attraction. The first two days 1t
rained. which precluded even an at
found that the trees were too thick
to make a flight in the fair grounds,
and on the following day the aeroplane
was taken to a nearby field, where the
first thing 1t did was break one of its
wings.
A few things such as these would not
be sufficient to discourage a most i'm
patient public-eXcept in Montgomery
county. They came. they saw the ma
chine in a tent, and went away con-

stood looking at the machine. And all

Farmers Of Western Iowa Perfect an
Organization to Protect Ante

AyOca, la, Dec 2G.-Special At a
largely attended meeting held here
the farmers of this vicinity whose
lands the herds of deer which rOams
this section of the state are wont TO
Craze upon, unanimously agreed to re,
sist with all their power and the
might of the law any claims the state
OF Iowa may lay to the animals. An
organization was perfected at the
meeting and the matter of protecting
the antelope proceeded with in a
businesslike manner.
The farmers find that their fond.
ness for the deer considerably out.
weighs any consideration for damage
done to their crops and the recent at.
tempt of the state game warden TO
in no uncertain terms.
An incident showing the feeling of
the people of the community on the
matter occurred night or two after
the deer had been driven into a big
corral. Some one cut hole in the
fence and all but about a dozen of the
deer escaped. In trying to crate
those remaining, seven were killed or
MANNED so badly that they had to be
killed.

TWO SALOONS CLOSED
Mayor Reynolds Issued Orders Be-
cause of Alleged Violation.

OskaloCsa has two less saloons to-
day than it had When business closed
Saturday night. The two places
closed by order of Mayor Reynolds,
we're the j. X. Black place, 2l9: South
First street, and the Fred Beadle
place, l12 South A street. The or
ders were issued on the grounds Of
the violation of the provisions of the
mulct law. 1t is understood one of
the specified charges made is that IL
quor was sold to minors in their
places. The Beadle place is likely to
remain closed permanently, as it was
not one of the saloons to which licen-
SEES were granted when the list was
revised by the city council to comply
with the provisions OF the Moon law,
which allows only one saloon to each
1 900 inhabitants.
