ANOTHER CASE OF DIDN'T
KNOW GUN WAS LOADED

The greensboro Messenger says:
81 am an Indian chief, and you
are my captive" said Ray Moseley,
as he and several small children Sc
curely tied Clarence Moseley, nine
years of age, brother of Ray, to a
tree. Then there was a war
dance about the tree, and a rife,
held by Moseley. was waved in the
air. He pointed the gun at his
brother, who was enjoying the
sport, and pulled the trigger.
There was fash and a sharp re-
port. All of the children were
startled and stopped their romping.
Help! | am killed." cried the
little prisoner.
His companions at first thought
he was joking, but they became
terrified when they saw his shirt
crimson with blood. They ran
screaming to the house, and his
father, j. r. Moseley, came to his
rescue. He was carried to the
house and then hurried to the city
hospital, where he was given medi-
cal attention. The bullet from the
rife entered the left side and per-
forated the intestines four times.
His condition was critical last
night. Physicians say that he has
a fighting chance. His brother is
grief-stricken at his home on the
Leitchfeld road, and declares that
he had no idea that the gun was
loaded. It has been necessary to
restrain him from going to the hos
pital and keep constant vigil at the
side of his brother.

THERE WILL Be NO DELAY
IN CANAL COMPLETION
SherIey Says Big Ditch Will Be
Fortified and Open Within
a Year.

Washington, Nov. SO.-"The Pan
anna Canal will be open for business
within a year from to-day, and

tions Subcommittee of the House
Appropriation Committee, who re-
turned from a tour of inspection on
the isthmus with the other men,
bers of the Appropriations Commit
tee.
The work on the isthmus is pro-
crossing rapidly" continued the
Louisville Congressman THE charge
made by Uncle joe Cannon and
other Republicans at the last ses-
sion of Congress that We were not
appropriating sufficient money to
carry on the work of building the
canal properly was all nonsense.
and my Democratic colleagues so
stated on the floor Of the House at
the time, and on our trip to the ca
nal this fall We found that our
statements were justified. The
work is not being delayed in any
way.
For the next fiscal year, to bring
the great work to a satisfactory
conclusion, the Democratic House
will appropriate every cent that is
necessary. The same will be true
of the money needed for fortifica-
lions. ! was pleased to see that
the emplacements for many of the
big guns are ready now. We will
be prepared TO protect our work
from any be- ,erent Power when
We are ready to open it for bust
ness"
Mr.. Sherley will spend several
days at the New Willard Hotel

home for the winter for himself and
his family. He will begin work at
once on the big appropriation bills
that must be whipped into shape by
the House Appropriations Commit
tee for passage by the House and
Senate before March next.

STARTLING FIGURES IN
JEFFERSON COUNTY
Infection Found In IS per cent
of Population In This
County.

jefferson county is afflicted with
hookworm to the extent of 20 pei
cent. of the population, and Is pei
cent. more of the populace are af
fiicted with other intestinal para,
sites.
This startling declaration was
made recently by DR.. w. w. Rich.
mond, a member of the State Board
of Health, after three weeks cam.
paign in the county. DR.. Richmond
and two assistants from the State
meteorological Laboratory have ex.
amined more than 700 specimens
during this period and feel that this
is a fair percentage on which to
base their assertions regarding the
county.
DR.. Richmond has visited twenty
public schools during the three
weeks and delivered twenty-five
lectures. Most of these have been
on the general subject of the con-
servation of health and sanitation.
Polluted air, soil and water and un-
clean food also have come in for
considerable comment by the ply
stefan.
In cooperation with the State
Board of Health the Jefferson
County Board of Health has been
working. DR.. B. w. Smock. county
health. officer, has been actively en-
gagged with DR.. Richmond.
In their examinations of speci-
mems the physicians have covered
every section Of the country. Be-
sides hookworm they have found
many specimens Of round worm
and tapeworm, both of which are
preventable intestinal parasites.
In combating the inroads of the
intestinal parasites the board of
health installed dispensaries in va
rious parts of the county. At these
places specimens were received and
examined and the proper treatment
for the diseases given.
During the last few months the
State Board Of Health has been con-
Quoting a Statewide campaign
against the hookworm. and other
diseases During, that time more
than $4,000 specimens have been.
examined in 100 counties and So
per cent have been found 10 be az
dicted with intestinal parasites.

You can sometimes or generally
tell the thrifty farmer by the kind
of literature he keeps around the
house. First of all comes his coun-
ty paper-one or more-which
keeps him and his family informed
as to current events and contains
much OF profit to him in his calling.
He could hardly be called up to
date without this journal. Then he
takes one or more regular farm
journals which deal specifically
with the farming business. But he
will usually find much in his home
paper along the same line. The
successful farmer must keep posted.

KILLED AFTER
AN AUTO TRIP
Man and Wife Slain as They
Enter Their Home.

San Diego, Cal, May 27.-An old
grudge melted Bert G.. Lewis to lie in
wait for Q. Il. Tolliver and his wife
and riddle them with bullets as they
entered their home after an automobile
trip. Lewis was formerly secretary
for Tolliyer and was familiar with his
home. He coaxed away the bulldog on
guard and tied the dog up. Then when
the Tollivers appeared he opened FIRE
and shot seventeen times from an au-
tomato revolver.
Tolliver fell dead. Mrs. TollIver had
just strength enough to reach the tsle-
phone and call the police when she
dropped and expired.
Lewis was found nearby greatly eI-
cited. He confessed to the murder
and declared 1t was due to tho fact
that the Tolliyers had Induced his wife
to leave him.
Tolliver vas well known In San
Francisco, where he induced many PEG
pie to invest In his airship stock. He
built an enormous dirigibls balloon
with an aluminium frame. aud his wife
helped him, stitching the silk. Just be-
fore the first trial a storm wrecked the
balloon. Tolliver then went to San
Diego, whore he organized another
company and built q second balloon,
but this he never tested. Lewis sued
Tolliver for alternating his wife's afrec-
tons, but lost the suit. Then Tolliver
sued Lewis for borrowed money and
won the case.

HALTS PANIC
WITH PRAYER
Mgr. LayelIe Ignores Falling
of Platform.

New York, May 27.-Mgr. Lavelle,
vicar general Of the diocese of New
York, standing upon a platform above
the unfinished walls of st. Clement
Catholic church, Fortieth street, had
just raised his hands to bless the
foundations of the edihce when, with a
crash that shook the boards on which
he stood, another platform behind him
collapsed and plunged fifty men,
women and children to the floor Of the
basement, fifteen feet below.
While the faint cries Of a score of
injured pinned under the debris rose
above the resonant clamor Of more
than 1900 spectators who had witness
ed the accident, the majestic priest,
immoyable and commanding in his
high position, continued to deliver the
words Of prayer hat had followed the
blessing.
His calm attitude In the midst of
danger had a quick quoting effect
upon the excited throngs on the street
and inside the building and gave TO
the police Just the few moments neces
a to grip the situation and avert a
panic.
At least twenty were suffering from
bruises and cuts, but there were only
seven who accepted the attention OF
the three ambulance surgeons, two
from New York and one from Bellevue
hospital, who had been summoned i'm.

ORANGE GETS
A BAD SCARE
Sixteen Sticks Disappear
from Freight Car.

Orange, N. j., May 27.-The clearing
up by the Orange police of the mystery
of the disappearance of sixteen sticks
of dynamite from a freight car OF the
Sherman street siding of the Erie rail-

kicked about the tenements Of Sher-
man street virtually all day and that

car, which had been left open, found

and John Martin were the boys.
Boys Hide Explosives.
BY the time the policemen had
found the youngsters, neither of whom
Is yet ten years old, they were tired
OF playing with the dynamite, which
they soon discovered was not good to
eat. Boylike, however, they had hid
den their booty, or such Of 1t as vas
still intact, in some sewer pipes stored
near the freight yard. They led the
policemen to the w pipes and there
revealed eleven sticks still In their
original wrappers.
At the freight Office 1t was explained
that the dynamite was part of a ship
ment OF fifty cases, some Of which vas
intended for an Orange contractor and
