SHOTGUNS USED IN FIGHT
Two Men Wounded i'm Quarrel Over
Farms Management.

MADISON, Ind. Dec. 1.-TWO
men were wounded seriously in a
fight with shotguns late yesterday on
a farm IL miles north of Madison,
in Monroe township. They are c. c.
Henry, 55 years old, and Gamaliel
Lockridge 80 years old, Henry's SON
in-law. Lockridge's left hand and
forearm were shattered and Henry
was shot in one leg.
Because of weather conditions and
the remote region where the trouble
occurred, the authorities made no
attempt last night to go TO the scene.
Frank Mckay, the sheriff, said he
and his deputies hoped TO go 10 the
farm today and investigate the
shooting. He added that charges
later would be made in the case.
1t is not believed that Henry will
recover. He was removed to his
home shortly after the shooting.
Mrs. Lockridge took her husband in
a buggy to Dupont, from where he
was rushed to North Vincennes in
an automobile. 1t was found neces-
sary to amputate his wounded arm
at the elbow.
The farm on which the trouble
happened is owned by Henry and
occupied by Lockridge. They had
quarreled over its management, a
misunderstanding first arising in the
disposition of n potato crop and
later over a quantity of firewOOd.
The shooting occurred in the barn

PRESIDENT WILL
BE A BUSY MAN
Is Preparing For the Most
Strenuous Season He Has
Ever Known.

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - Pres't
Wilson is preparing for the most
strenuous season of work that he
has ever known. When congress
gets down TO real genuine brass
tacks." after the holidays. his task
begins. From the white house will
come the direction. the driving
force, the strategy for one of the
most ambitious and comprehensive
legislative programs ever presented
at the capitol
Only a few years ago the nation
marveled at a billion dollar con-
gress" as a wonderful thing The
present congress promises to go far
beyond that figure. The cost of
adequate preparedness, as it is
conceived by the Wilson administra-
ton, is s25O,00O,OOO above the pres
ent yearly appropriation standard of
the government. Attempts will be
made TO pare down the appropria-
tons IN other branches of national
expenditures. but there will be no
drastic cuts except in the rivers and
harbors and public building bills,
and these cuts are doubtful, and de-
pendent entirely upon the consent
Of congress.
On almost every feature of the
administration program urged upon
congress. prolonged debates and bit
ter fights seem certain. The ques-
ton OF raising additional revenues
TO provide for the enlarged expendi-
lures already has provoked wide
spread differences of opinion, and
congress will not lay additional tax
es on any class or section of the
country without the most strenuous
opposition from those affected by it,
Former Sec'y of State Bryan will
lead the fight on the national de-
Tense program And the opposition
to the increased taxes also is ex-
pected to come from linn. or at least
be influenced by him. His following
in the house Of representatives is
considerable. 1t seems certain that
party lines will be obliterated. to a
certain extent, during the progress
of the debate on preparedness.
The rural credits measure will be
another storm center of controversy,
because one faction Of the demo-
cratic party favors government aid
for the farmer and the other does
not. The two conservation bills,
the Philippine independence bill,
the Columbian and Nicaraguan
treaties. also are sure to be the cen
ters Of hard legislative struggles.
