The chautauqua Is to have such a
tremendously big program that 1t Is
Abilene's chance to make some money

All agree that the chautauqua is a
great thing for the community. A
few men ought not to have to stand
the financial burden This is all UNI
necessary. A GREAT TICKET sale
will remedy this utterly.
The lecture of Ex-Governor Glenn

! course No father or mother or boy
or girl can hear that wonderful lee
ture without feeling the power of
great American citizenship. 1t melts,
thrills and inspires all at the same

DR.. Haywood's lecture will arouse
every live young man that sits and
listens to that great story.
We are told that the management
pays the band seven hundred dollars
for their days work with us. 1t alone
is far more than worth the price of
the whole ticket.
Then there is the Famous Melting
Pot. Nothing like it has ever been
given to the people before. You will
come nearer climbing over the seat
in front of you out of sheer interest
as you have ever done in your life.
The best Is that there is a great patri-
otto lesson in it all.

LOCATE JOYR|DERS
HARRY WILLIAMS FIRED SHOT
WOUNDING RALPH LAMB
Shooting Fracas OF Sunday Night
Took Unexpected Turn in Appre-
hension of Three Abilene
Boys and U. T.. Detect
ives and Engle

The efforts of the special agents for
the Union Pacific, C. V. Raison, Kan
sas City, and e. r. Wolfe, Salina, CO
operating with H. G.. Engle, city mar
shall, to apprehend the parties res
ponsible for the wounding of Ralph
Lamb, of Salina, who was on the OBJ
servation platform of No. 10 Union
Pacific flyer, Sunday night, took an
unexpected turn today when three
Abilene boys, Harry Williams. age
IT, Stanley Monroe. age 90, and Fred
Fagler, age "a, accused by the off
GERS and confronted with evidence
confessed to the charge. On the rec
commentator for leniency by F. r.
Fessler, chief detective for the Union
Pacific, Williams was arrested and in
police court this morning was fined
825 and costs, but the fine was sus-
pended on promise of future good be-
havior.
Williams, when taken from his
home on East 8th street at 1890 last
night, by the detectives, broke down,
made a full breast of the fracas and
wrote out his confession which fol-
lows in part:
Il, Harry Williams Western Union
messenger boy, fired two revolver
shots on the night of Aug. 20-one
while passing through Solomon and
another while on the First street
bridge at Abilene while No. 10 was
crossing Mud creek bridge | did not
mean to shoot anybody If ! did hit
anybody and swear that it was the
first time ever used a gun
Shooting Internationally.
A 32-calibre revolver with four
empty shells in the chamber was
found in the floor of the Chrevolet
car which they had that night. None
of the boys claims it. The authorities
are convinced that they meant no
harm in shooting and that the affair
was accidental. Williams was charg-
ed with discharging firearms within
the city limits. Nevertheless the in
cident should serve as a warning to
adventurous joyriders. The boys ad-
mitted that they were out for a good
time, but that their red blood got the
best of them.
Monroe drove the car that night
He told Mr.. Wolfe had they had pass
ed every auto on the road on the way
home from Salina. Monroe is en-
plOyed at an Abilene garage and Fag-
Ter is farm hand. The detectives |
and Engle located their men "a hours |
after they had been assigned to the
case. Three clues which they ran
down proved fruitless. The descrip-
ton of the car obtained from Solo
mon parties started them after the
right persons. Monroe in his confess
sion swore to the statement that
there was no booze in the party and
that none OF them had been drinking.

RANSONED
Survivors Of Battle With a
Submarine Who Fell Into
Hands Of Moroccans Freed
and Tell Of Experience

London, Feb. 3.-Survivors Of
terrible battle with submarine board
ers on the British vessel Woodfield
are free today under ransom after
falling into the hands of Moroccan
bandits.
The story OF the Woodfield fight
and the escape OF some of the party
forms story like chapter from q
Stevenson tale.
A submarine halted the vessel on
the Moroccan coast. Members OF the
crew boarded the vessel, only to be
met with knives and pistols. For
three hours the Teutons and British
fought duel on the decks, until
these ran with blood. When the end
came eight of the Woodfield crew
were dead and IA wounded. Sur
vivors were put into iifeboats and
landed in Morocco, only to fall into
the hands of the tribesmen Of that
land. These demanded a ransom,
which was at last paid by the COM
|pany owning the Woodfield.

JOY IN GERMANY AT
CAPTURE Of APpAM
(By United Press Leased wire.l

(By United Press Leased Wire,
Berlin, Feb. 3.-German capture of
the British liner Appam, Zeppelin
raids against England and Paris. and
renewed activity of German undersea
boats mark the prelude of an aggres-
sive new campaign in the air and sea.
Experts suggested today that feats
more startling even than the events
of the past few days may be on the
books. it.s.
The Appam capture has aroused
Germany to high pitch Of enthu-
siasm, while the prize crew that
guided the vessel into Norfolk are
hailed on every hand as heroes.
Reports Of the Appam capture were
more prominently displayed in the
newspapers than anything except the
successful Zeppelin attacks against
English manufacturing cities.
Plans for further prosecution Of the
Zeppelin raids call for attacking
everything of military or food value
in England as long as the British
policy OF starving German women and
children continues.
AT the same time officials have map
ped strong submarine campaign
and they declare that It will be i'm
possible to consent to any new regu-
lations for submarine warfare while
the starvation blockade persists.
In connection with the aerial pro-
gram, 1t was pointed out that the
Monday night attack on big English
cities had accomplished one Of its
main objects, namely, destruction Of
grain elevators In Liverpool.
Meantime officials in charge OF the
new air and sea moves are confident
that they can strike such terror to the
heart of England and create such
ruin as to cause a relaxation OF the
English hunger warfare.
