rushed into the kitchen and a fatal
struggle ensued. Steable. armed
with the Colt which he had stolen
from the Sledge home during an
overnight stay a couple Ell days be
fore, beat Sledge furiously oyer the
head with the weapon. The latter,
already weak from the terrific loss
of blood from the first shots. must
have fought With superhuman
strength.
Steable used two revolyers in the
battle, but was unable to pleace an
other shot. Sledge finally wrested
the Colt from Steable and shot with
deadly aim. The first bullet plowed
through Steable's left groin, where
upon he turned and plunged through
a pantry window into the snow. 4
second bullet crashed through his
left armpit from the real and came
out at the middle of the breast. He
staggered nearly fifty feet and fell
dead.

scene from Mitchell shortly after
midnight with a physician, Steable
wore a handkerchief for a mask dur
ing the entire encounter.
Sledge and his daughter are now
in the hospital here and are expected
to recover :

hand at the Sledge farm last fall and
fell in love with the girl. but was not
encouraged i'm his suit, He left later

Smith Automobile Company
| HOME OF THE FORD ;: :: :: :: WEST FIFTH STREET !

All automobile advertising today is a striking testimonial
that Henry Ford was right years ago when he built the first
light car. Automobile manufacturers see what Henry Ford
saw long since that the light car is the car best adapted to
meet all conditions.
You can hardly read an ad today that doesn't make you
smile and say: There's another proof that Henry Ford has
been right all along"
You pick up a current magazine you thumb its pages.
You glance through the automobile advertising. Manufacture
es that formerly advertised the advantages Of heavy cars
have bout faced and are now singing the song of the merit
Of Eghtness.
And it all proves that it has taken other manufacturers
ten years or more to see what Henry Ford saw during the
infancy of the automobile industry.
The Ford today IS recognized as the standard light car the
world over. And it is the standard light car because Henry
Ford had the correct vision years before the others.
Call at our garage and let us show and demonstrate the
Ford to you.
