BRYAN's wILLFUL CORPSE

The late Mr.. Bryan" says an eastern news
paper in headline, assuming that the late Mr..
Bryan is politically dead Well, mebbe so. He
has made another mistake and perhaps he has in
fact gone to the boneyard.
But we can't help remembering at least six
separate occasions during the past 20 years
when Bryan "killed himself politically" And
since he was first killed politically in 1896, he
has headed the party ticket for president twice
and dictated the nominee.
We never heard of such an ornery corpse as
Bills corpse. 1t refuses to stay dead.

When he pulled down the street in the relic
no one laughed at him.
The engine ran very nicely and never bale

He didn't stall on the crossings and get in bad

Everything went lovely.
After a summers enjoyment with his mA4

"How much will you give me on this machine

FAMOUS EAGLE CASE
IS ARGUED IN N'COURT
State Game Wardens Had Asked
For Arrest of Judgment After
Conviction
See.lsl 10 The 1.elesraeh

Lewistown, Pa. Feb. 23.-Argument
court heard the famous PETER eagle
case yesterday. Sometime ago State
Game Wardens Charles \. and \. IL.
Baum were found guilty of larceny of
an eagle from PETER. a Miffiin coun-
ty hunter. Dy 4 5Ury and the wardens
through their attorneys made n mo-
ton for an arrest of Judgment. Attor-
neN Fred Culbertson. argued the case
for the Commonwealth. Among the
principal reasons that he gave for his
stand in the matter was that the law
of 1909 placed eagles on the unpro-
tected list OF game birds and that the
legislative act of 1918 only made the
eagle a protected bird by implication.
He contended that the act of 1918 is
unconstitutional.
Attorneys A. Reed Hayes and l.. j.
Durbin, argued that the court should
set the verdict aside and not impose
a sentence upon the wardens. Judge
J. NJ. Woods announced that he would
render his decision later.
