at Alberta and Eldred the studies,
instead of drawing interest away from
the farm and rural life, are arranged
to draw interest back to them.
Arithmetical problems and tasks are

about the community's actual life.

CRAZY MAN SHOOTS
AT MAYOR SCHULTZ
Empties Load of Birdshot into
Rear of Automobile After
Which Man Escapes

A shot gun duel between Alberta
parties and an alcoholic degenerate
known as "Shorty, the Sweitzer"
who has worked on the Tomalla farm
the past summer, was staged on the
road two miles south of Alberta late
Wednesday night but fortunately no
fatalities resulted. The excitement
brought Sheriff Zahl and a party of
deputies from Morris but "Shorty"
has escaped to parts unknown. Five
volleys were exchanged and of the
shot are lodged in the rear of Mayor
j. A. Schultz's automobile. Before
the battle "Shorty" held up several
other parties on the road and terror
lied the neighborhood generally.
In company with Messrs. Sontag and
Farwell Mayor Schultz was returning
in his car from hunting trip into the
country. On the grade south of town
!! they passed a man who commanded
them to stop. Believing the man had
been injured and in need of assistance
Mayor Schultz stopped the car and
went back to investigate. The man
ordered him to proceed, which order
was emphasized by fierce oaths. The
car had proceeded but a few feet
when the man opened fire, the charge
striking the rear of the car. Sontag
leaped to the ground and thinking to
brighten the man fired twice into the
air. His shots were returned but the
aim was faulty. The car was started
to town and on the way the men met
others who were advised of the mat
ter. Later "Shorty'' was captured,
disarmed and brought to Alberta
where he was held under surveillance
pending the arrival Of the sheriff. In
the meantime "Shorty' slipped away,
secured pint of whiskey and was on
his way eluding the sheriff.
Very little is known of the man.
He has worked here the past summer
and frequently boosted Of his exploits
elsewhere. He claimed to have once
shot a game warden, and other stories
