WOULD KILL MAN
WHO STOLE GIRL
Jealous Lover Pulls Revolver
on Rival and Fires One
Shots Sentenced.

Because his jealousy prompted him
to shoot at rival, who had stolen
his girl, Frank Nelson was this morn
ing given a 20-day sentence in the
county jail. The affair took place
July 26.
1t appears that Nelson had been
paying devoted attentions TO Flor
ence Morton, well known police
character, and that Robert Etzel
alienated the damsel's affections. On
the night Of the 18th, according to
testimony, Nelson entered the Allen
residence at Third street and Seventh
avenue, and pulling a 90 calibra re-
volver, pointed it at Etzers head,
shouting, You stole my girl and Pm
going to get you" Etzel leaped upon
the gunman, and hand to hand strng-
gle ensued, during the course OF which
Nelson was disaTmed The police
were called and Nelson was captured
after a long chase.

SCRIPTURE

Luke 18th Chapter-1st to 10th verses
Now when he had ended all his say
ings in the audience of the people, he
entered into Capernaum.
And a certain centurion's servant,
who was dear unto him, was sick, and
ready to die.
And when he heard of Jesus, he sent
unto him the elders of the Jews, be-
seeching him that he would come and
heal his servant.
And when they came unto Jesus,
they besought him instantly, saying,
That he was worthy for whom he
should do this:
For he loveth our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue.
Then Jesus went with them. And
when he was now not far from the
house, the centurion sent friends to
him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble
not thyself: for | am not worthy that
thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Wherefore neither thought / myself
worthy to come unto thee;> but say in
a word, and my servant shall be
healed.
Fer | also am man set under au-
thority, having under me soldiers, and
say unto one, go, and he gOeth; and
to another, come, and he cometh; and
to my servant, do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard these things, he
marveled at him, and turned him about
and said unto the people that follow
ed him, say unto you. ! have not
found so great faith, no, no in Israel.
And they that were sent, returning
TO the house, found the servant whole
that had been sick.
