was discharged when one of the boys
was handing the weapon to the other,
or else while Sleeter was firing.
Physicians who were called found
the ball had passed through the heart
and that death came quickly.
When the Sleeter boy realized he
had shot his friend he became vio-
lent. He was taken to his home In
an automobile and 1t required two
men to control the lad Then power

it was not for some time that the
medicine took effect.
The boy continually asked to see
Wagner. He was not told the latter
was dead His condition was pitiable
and his sole desire was to see and
talk to Fred Wagner. Grave results
are feared, but it is hoped that time,
with proper rest will serve to efface
the remembrance of the accident from

Far-seeing business men have been
alive to this possibility for some time.
An eastern company has secured OPP

the public utilities bill a provision
which will give the state some con-

which will safeguard the interests OF

the base of supplies or from the
source of the raw material. Maine Is
the great textile center Of the Uni

California also have developed water
power to great advantage Other than
these three states, water power has
been taken but little advantage Of

settlements in Canada, the CONNER
