SHOT IN The BACK
Continued from First Page)

David Ahonen as the perpretrator
of the crime. Ahonen is a dissolute
character who lives in shack on
state land and spends all he can
make for alcohol. All the neigh
bors claim Ahonen fully capable of
committing the crime of murder
without conjunction.
It is said Ahonen had threatened
Makala on various occasions and
that only short time ago he had
been ordered from the Makala home
while drunk and quarelsome. At
that time he vowed vengeance and
said he woulp kill Makala.
Deputy Sheriff Seraphine and
Kauppi went to the scene of shoot
ing yesterday. After listing to the
statements of neighbors and the
Makala family they went to the
shack of Ahonen and forced an
entrance.
In the cabin everything pointed
to its occupancy the night before.
An alarm clock was ticking away
and it was found that the alarm
set for 4:3O, had run down. In
the cabin were found a half box of
5000 soft-nosed steel shells. No
gun was found and every indication
pointed to hasty exit on the part
of its occupant.
Ahonen has not been seen since
the night before the shooting and
all circumstances bear out the
theory of him being the guilty
party. A posse is out searching
the neighborhood and other meth
DDS for his capture have been made.
The contention of the shooting
being the result of a neighborhood
quarrel spoken of in the beginning
of this article on page one is not
borne out by testimony brought
forth since the first page was print
ed.
Ahonen is probably in the woods
and will be in shape to elude his
followers for some time. 1t is
thought his thirst for liquor will
bring him to town within a short
time.
Makela is survived by widow
and eight children. He was a man
who made friends with all and
through hard work and frugality
had possessed himself of the best
farm in this neighborhood, well
stocked, and from which he derived
considerable revenue. He was a
member of the Modern Woodmen
and carried insurance in the order.
This lodge will probably have
charge of the funeral which in all
probability will be held Sunday.
Sheriff John R. Meining and
Deputy Frank Magic arrived in the
city last evening and in company
with a posse made up of neighbors
of the murdered man and other:
from this city, together with
Deputy Seraphine were in the
woods all night and today searching
for Ahonen.
Some seem to be under the i'm.
preston that Ahonen has com
mitted suicide.
LATER-Just as we go to press
word comes from the scene that
the party in charge of Sheriff
Meining had found the body Of
Ahonen in clump of bushes abou
midway between where Makela wa
shot and the cabin of Ahonen
The man had committed suicid
by shooting himself in the aldo
men, the bullet emerging at tn
shoulder. Coroner Ayres has gon
to the place to bring in the re
mains.

ALL WISCONSIN BELONGS
TO ANTI-FIRE SCHOOL

. -
Madison, Wis, May 20.-For
years the annual FIRE loss in the
United States has been about
$250,eoo,o00, $4,000 every hour,
$500 every minute. Add to this a
toll of about 1880 deaths and
about 5000 serious injuries by FIRE
every year and one gains some
conception of the problem Wis
consin is studying.
The Wisconsin way of din1in-
ishing fire losses is by educating
the people. Every FIRE IN the state
is.reported to the state FIRE mar
shaPs office for investigation.
Printed rules in the handling
and care of matches, gasoline,
kerosene, chimneys, stove pipes
and the, burning of rubbish are
sent broadcast over the state.
These rules and lessons are
taught the children in the schools,
posted in conspicuous places and
printed IN local newspapers. Here
are four rules picked at random
from the lessons and bulletins:
If one smells gasoline, open
the windows and ''look" for it
mainly with nose and fingers,
never with a light.

Throuohout Life.

1t is well that the words through
out my whole life" are a part Of the
Christian Endeavor pledge.
This unique pledge Is a personal
covenant into which each Endeavorer
enters with our Lord Jesus Christ
Into this covenant we voluntarily
enter, not for limited period of time,
but for the whole of life. This Is,
therefore, serious and important busi-
ness, ''and therefore is not by any to
be entered into unadvisedly or lightly,
but reverentiy, discreetly. advisedly,
soberly and in the fear of God"
To understand that one is entering
into, or has entered into, an agree
ment for life has much to do with the
development of character, and charac-
ter is the one supremacy important as
set in life.
Consider the person with whom we
enter into covenant when he sign the
pledge.
We promise the Lord Jesus Christ
that we will endeavor to deport our
selves in Christian way as long as
we live.
The Endeavorer is In partnership with
the Prophet of Nazareth, the Son of
God.
Throughout my whole life WILL"
do what? II will endeavor to lead
Christian life,r that is to say, life of
which the Christ is the inspiration and
the pattern.
In an honest and earnest effort to re-
deem this pledge there will come in
evitably a development of likeness to
Him who did no SIM" But this like
ness can be most satisfactorily de-
veloped only by lifelong effort-Rev.

MAINE HEALTH DAY ASSN.

It's Object - Sunday. Oct. "a, Set
Apart for Special Work.
The Maine Health Day association has
been formed for the purpose of fighting
that insidious disease, consumption.
and to do so by striking at the root of the
evii-the advanced cases. II is the purpose
OF the association to erect in this State a
sanitarium in which the incufabie cases
can be treated and the danger OF their in
tecting others eradicated. Decrease In
infection Is the mark Of success in this
fight.
II is proposed in the fall Of this year,
and in years TO follow, to have observed
throughout the state q day to be called
"Heslih day.. The day set this year is
Sunday, Oct. q. On this day theatres in
every city and town in the State viii ex-
hibit' motion pictures OF an educational
nature, dealing, in so far as possible, with
the subject OF tuberculosis and kindred
subjects. In Ellsworth arrangements
have been made with Manager Campbell,
OF the Bijou, for such an exhibition.
Health day has been Endorsed by the
leading citizens throughout the State, in
GLIDING the governor, mayors OF the
various cities, and other public officials.
The proceeds of the Health day enter
tainments will be donated to the building
fund, but the amount realized from this
source the present year will fall far short
the project.
Realizing the true merit of this cam
paign, ana approaching its economic and
social Importance, business men and
others throughout the state are contribnt-
ing loyalty to its purpose.
George B. Goodwin is president OF the
association, Col. r. f. Boothby is treas
urer, Henry II. Sawyer is secretary. 1t
has thirty-four vice presidents, represent
ing all sections Of the State. Ellsworth
is represented by Col. Z. c. Burrill, Mrs.
Eugene Hale and Mrs. A. p. wiswell.
The headquarters are in the Y. NJ. {. A.
bailding, Portland.
The association asks: Do you realize
/. That the number OF persons In the
United States afflicted with consumption
Is not less than $4,000?
2. That the yearly money cost of this
disease alone in the United States is, at
conservative estimate, about s625, 0oo,ooo
3. That at the present ratio ten million
persons now living will eventually die Of
this disease?
4. That the death loss from tuberculo-
sis in the United States every five years is
almost twice the mortality on both sides
during the Civil war?
5. That there are 10000 positive cases in

The Christians Duty.

There are times, of course, when God
calls US to do unusual and seemingly
Fatal things under some strenuous cir
eumstances and for his glory, but such
are seldom, and God has a way Of
making known his will on such occa-
sions. and the whole teaching of the
Bible is that while we are hidden to
trust our heavenly Father for all
things needful and not to fear when
we are In the path Of right, yet we
are to observe the laws of health and
common sense and be generally sane
and obedient.
