SNEED-BOYCE WAR
ONCE MORE FEARED
Following the Latest Out
break in Feud Between
Rich Texas Families.
(National News Association)

AMARILLO, Tex, Sept. 16.-That
he killed A. G. Boyce to prevent him
from taking his wife from him again
will be the defense of John Sneed, the
rich Amerillo banker in his trial for
the murder. Sneed will claim that he
and his wife had become reconciled
two months ago and had planned to
move to Mississippi and start life anew
VIXEN he came upon evidence of a
plan of his wife and Boyce to elope
again. This plan, he will claim, he
discovered in letter from Boyce to
his wife, telling her he had come from
Canada to Amerillo and outlining a
plan for her to leave her husband and
flee with him a second time.
Young Boyce had been offered the
management of big cattle ranch in
the Argentine Republic. The grand
jury took up the killing of young
Boyce. A feature of the inquiry was
the effort to discover whether Sneed
had an accomplice in the killing. 1t
has been definitely established that
two men, one answering the descrip.
ton of Sneed, rented a cottge next to
the Methodist church, in front OF
which the tragedy occurred. The sec.
ond man has disappeared. Mrs. Snead
has also left for her home.

Frederick William, son of the king OF
Prussia and heir to the throne OF
that country.
In 1898, when the Princess Louise
was only seventeen years old, she was
married to the crown prince
1t was in troubled time that
Louise had come to be the wife of the
future king OF Prussia. The French
revolution had already broken out and
the propagandists of France were
sending out armies OF conquest into
Europe to spread the doctrines of lib
erty, equality and fraternity.
Prussia, temporized and delayed,
made an alliance with France, dis
carded it, and finally joined the enc
mics of Napoleon.
The queen spent much Of her time
with her husband in camp and her
courage in that time of national GALA
nifty had made her doubly dear to the
soldiers. It is said that it was her
advice that led Frederick to make war
on France. 1t is certain that she
hated Napoleon most cordially then,
and he seems to have returned the
compliment. But when the country
had been overwhelmed by the French
the king believed that Louise might
be able to induce the French emperor
to grant easier terms to Prussia than
he was at first inclined to. With that
end in view Queen Louise consented
to an interview with Napoleon at Til
sit. The French emperor's estimate
of Prussia's queen was altered by that
interview, but his intentions regard
ing her country were memorable.
Soon after that interview Napoleon
overwhelmed Austria and Prussia's
last forlorn hope of rescue was gone.
But Queen Louise was not bitter in
her grief and disappointment.

Pool Ball In His Mouth,

youth living at 1880 North Eighth
street, made a bet with several COM
panions that he had the largest mouth
in the crowd, and to prove his asser-
ton thrust a pool ball between his
Jaws. .,....
He won the wager, but lost several
teeth, for the ivory ball fitted his
mouth so well that it took two hours
work on the part of physicians at the
Children's Homeopathic hospital to re-
move the ball, and that was accom-
plished only after the forceps had
been used.
Wilson walked to the hospital with
his friends. The physicians first told
him to force the ball out with his
tongue. His efforts were unavailing
and the pain from his distended jaws
SO great that 1t was determined to
sacrifice five front teeth.

Queen LOUISE loved
She Was Never Bitter in Grief
Over Roverses.
A Century After Her Death Her Tomb
at Potsdam Was Covered With
Fragrant Flowers by
Loving Hands.

Berlin is an important
part of the German, temperament and
Germans are not ashamed to show it.
That may help to explain why, more
than a century after her death, the
memory of Queen Louise Of Prussia is
kept fragrant and living by constant
gifts of flowers placed upon her tomb
at Potsdam. But that characteristic
OF the Germans does not serve wholly
to explain the flowers that are kept
always fresh. Other German kings
and queens have died and been for
gotten almost before the official court
mourning ceased. 1t must indeed
have been very rare and charming
personality that made it's owner so
loved by her subjects that they pre-
served tender, reverent memory OF
her in their hearts and handed down
that memory to their children and
their children's children.
Queen Louise was more than a

brave, womanly woman and, more
over, she was beautiful. Although
princess of Mecklenburg, she was
brought up with much less of formal

number of American debutantes to-
day.
The Princess Louise at sixteen was

slender, her eyes deep blue and her
hair brown, with glints of sunlight
