STORY Of
DEATH THREATS TO
WOUNDED SOLDIER
Police Investigate Notes
Written BY Hogentogler,
Who Shot Himself.

A slight change for the better was
noted today In the condition OF Harry
II. Hogentogler, a young soldier who
shot himself In the left side shortly
after midnight Thursday in the home
of Miss Ida Todd, 20 q street north
west, and, although his condition Is still
critical, physicians at the Emergency
Hospital said he had a chance for re-
covery.
Physicians at the hospital denied to-
day that there was any foundation for
the report that Hogentogler had made
a statement regarding the motive that
prompted him to end his life, His con-
dltion is such that not even the doc
tors have been able to talk with him.
Detectives are investigating today
statements made in notes written by
Hogentogler that he was obsessed with
the fear that he would be killed by a
fellow soldier at Washington Barracks
According to these notes, Hogentogler
claimed that this soldier had revealed to
him the hiding place Of $500 worth Of
jewelry, which he had stolen from
man in c street northeast. The soldier
was acquitted In the Police Court of
the theft charge, and, returning to the
barracks, failed to find the jewelry
where he had hidden 1t. The soldier,
Hogentogler wrote, accused him Of TAX
Ing 1t and threatened to kill him unless
he gave It up.

REPORT OF SOLOMON
 WATER FOWL HUNTERS

Z Joe Sheldon seems to think that one of the phenOminal shots was
 when Walter Bohannan after spend
 ing delicious ten hours in a bunk (so the boys say) took himself and his trus;y gun over on a point where
 the grass grew in profusion and stretched himself out in the noon day sun for his much needed rest. Sud- denly the air was rent by the heavy discharge of automatic guns in the hands of Riley. Jackson, Crowley. Lorimer. Sheldon. Marx. Milligan and others too numerous to mention. Wal ter "sprang from his healthy couch in haste" The dew drops from his Hanks he shook. Staring wildly around he wretch" for his trusty gun and yelling wildly for help. he accidental ly discharged both barrels into the approaching squadron of geese. Russ Downing and Hanks returning from a weary tramp of many miles over the marsh with one mud hen and one gull discovered the prostrate and snoring Bohannan with his head pillowed on two humping Empress geese.
 The boys who have returned with a fine bunch of game think it unfair and unsportsmanlike for the Nome people to be so incredulous and to continually grin and ask the price of game NIMROD.

All reported Sunday morning as perarIsnged Co go to the hunting grounds oi the solomon Gun Club. where provisions had been made for the entertainment of the Nome nIm- rods arriving there about 1 o'clock on the same day. After partaking ot a few select eatables at their hunt ing lodge the bunch began operations when Hanks succeeded in bringing down large swan. This was closely followed by Russ Downing when he bagged sandhil crane. Jackson and the rest proceeded to wade into the ducks and geese which were in abund- ancc. olive Flowers and Chester Mi'ligan of the Solomon Gun Club did everything in their power to make the trip pleasant and to say that they are admirable hosts expresses 1t mildly Grant Jackson. Dan Crowley and Harry Riley decided to remain until the last of the week as there were to much fun shooting 10 leave when it was agreed on by the party.
 It is hard 10 determine which was the best shot from the Nome sports. but judging from the amount of game bagged it looks as If Downing was slightly in the lead with Hanks sec- ond. Marx.

 Russ Downing had taken several orders for game before leaving and had enough 10 fill same. but some were not killed quite dead and took de- par;urc soon after arriving at Fred Daniels place of business.
