Hank DeWheTry Had a Hand Inlt

Poor old Abe Witherow had tur-
rible & awful experients last Thursday,
which we callzilate will rename alive in
his memry untile the end of his days,
unless we are a good cal mistaken, and
it amt often that we are good cal mis-
taken. Yessir, Abe Witherow went
through deep worter on last Thursday,
and when we say deep worter we mean
every word of it in a literal sents, too.
1t was like this:
Last Thursday Hank Dewberry, who
wont work in the summer time becuz
he is too lazy, and wont work in the
winter becuz its too cold, had hankerin
to go 6shin through the ice fer picker
els over to Gootchic Pond last Thurs
day. but Hank he didn't want to go all
alone by hisself-Hank IS teller who
likes coflpany-Hank would ruther go
even with a dog for company than TO
go traipsin off 6shin or huntin by his
self, so he asked Yves Woodruff, our
expert hunter & trapper, to go with him,
but Yves told Hank he had other fish to
fry, being as he had to go and look
after his traps, which he hadn't been to
for week and like as not there was a
bear or a polecat on one of 'em, so then
Hank he happened to meet Abe Withe-
row on the street and Hank askd Abe
if he didn't want to go 6shin and Abe
said yes, he gessed he didn't, being as
it was too dognashion cold, but Hank
coaxed Abe into it and they started for
Gootchic, where they arrove about 10
a. m, and fust thing they done was to
cut several holes through the ice with
a iron post hole digger which Hank
had lugged along.
While Hank was cuttin the holes Abe
stood around complainin of the cold,
and Hank told him if he would take
the digger and cut few holes through
the ise he would soon git warmed up,
but Abe said he didn't come TO work,
he come to fish, so Hank told him to go
ahed then and freeze to deth if he
wanted to. Even BY this time they

Gould the Rosenthal murder happen
in Atlanta?"
Chief J. L. Beavers. of the Atlanta
police force. leaned back in his chair
and smiled.
It's of course possible for a band of
assassins to organize, lay in wait for a
man, shoot him and even obtain tenn
porary freedom. but if you mean to ask
whether the series OF circumstances
which led to the Rosenthal murder
could exist in Atlanta say no. en-

The chief gave several reasons.
In the New York department. if my
information is correct, the system of
protection to criminals which brought
about the Rosenthal shooting was able
to live on account of three things-a
false idea of loyalty which made homes
officers protect those who were not
honest; secrecy of police records and
the extension of favors to criminals

DOUGLAS, ARIZ.. Aug. 8.-That two
Americans have been added to the list
of foreigners supposedly murdered in
Mexico was the belief here today of
friends of Gordio Boyd and K. Boyd.
Friends of the Boyd brothers reached
Douglas today from the Carretas ranch.
near CoIonia, OaNaca. They reported
that the brothers. who had been living
on the ranch with their father, J. J..
Boyd had not been seen since July 80.
Their house was found wide open and
deserted. Lying about it and inside
were nearly 400 empty cartridges.
The matter was reported to General
Saujines who sent one of his officers to
investigate The officer confirmed the
report received here of the brothers,
their father and their Chinese cook also
being missing.

Legislators Are OUerfed, But Happy
800 AT SLATON'S 'CUE

Members of the senate and house
walked slowly and painfully into their
halls today and sank heavily into their
seats. They wore an air of placid sat
isfaction. of absolute Indifference to
whether taxes were raised or lowered,
whether their pet bills were passed or
not. They didn't have spunk enough to
rise to a point of order They wouldn I
rise to anything.
For it was the day after the barbecue
given by John M Slaton. president of
the senate; Jack" Slaton, lawmaker for
II years; j. NJ. Slaton, Atlanta citi-
zen; but NOT John Marshall Slaton,
candidate for governor. That was clear
ly understood.
1t is appalling to reflect upon what a
terrific chance Mr. Slaton took, now
that all Is safely over The average
consumption of barbecue per member
was one and three quarters pounds,
with q pound of Brunswick stew and a
loaf of bread as side fiXings. Then there
were lemonade and things. Suppose
there had been permitted to creep into
that barbecue an ingredient not Just
