Fleeing Youth Shot
: By Rural Policeman

Last Thursday afternoon while
running from Rural Policeman
E. w. Moore, stationed at Nc
Bee, John Boan, youth of II
years, was shot through the face
and sci iouslay injured.
1t seems that young Boan had
bought b bicycle in Camden and
moved from there to Chester
field county before payments on
the wheel were completed. A
warrant for his arrest was issued
and forwarded for execution to
Mr.. Moore.
When Moore was looking for
the lad he Is said to have met
him in the road and not know
ing him, asked him where young
Boan could be found. Receiv-
ing an evasive reply, Moore ask
ed woman nearby the same
question and was told that that
was Boan to whom he was talk
Moore is said to have turned
and started after the boy, who
took to his heels, when the po-
liceman is alleged to have fired,
and Boan fell seriously wounded.
In extenuatlon Mr.. Moore.
says he only fired to frighten the
youth, that boy turned his head
in time to receive the ball in bis
lower jaw. 1t took an upward
course and emerged through the
opposite cheek.
The boy received first aid from
DR.. Gregory and was then sent
to the hospital at Columbia,
where he was visited by Sheriff
d. P. Douglass, who says the
doctors report him in fair way
to recover.

A Weekly Review
OF The Great War

u
Prince Frederick william, tn.
German troops are engaged i,
Cne of the greatest battles of the
war on the western front, cen.
tering around the fortress OF
Verdnn. Attack has followed
attack against the French line
after bonn bardments incessant
and terrific, continuiug.for sever.
II days.
While the Germans have not
been able, despite the rain of
shells and furious onslaughts by
the infantry, to break the
French line, nevertheless the
French on their right and left
wings have been compelled to
withdraw their lines, respective
ly to the south of Ornes and be-
hind the town of Samogneux,
six miles north of the fortress.
The German attack on this
French stronghold has become one
of the chief operations of the war.
1t is the first effort siuce the
original drive of the German
armies TO break through the
main line of the French and
strike for Paris-for there can
be little doubt that Paris would
become the objective if Verdun
were captured and the French
defense at that Joint broken.
The position is one of the strong
est In Europe. and, perhaps, the
strongest on the western front.
The Germans are making a real
ly desperate effort to capture it,
and already have paid a heavy
price for the initial success they
have had, and they have made
II" more than dent in the rim
cf the citadel. The cost of COM
plete success on the same scale
would be staggering, but long
before that is reached, the eff
fort may be found in vain. The
chances are that it will be. For
all the gallantry and terrific
power Of he Germans, the cap
rtur@ of such stronghold as Yer
dun, defended by some of the
best soldiers in Europe, equip
ped with weapons fully equal to
|anything the Germans them
selves have, is a task that may
well prove impossible of achieve
ment. The stake is tremendous
and the battle will urque stion-
ably lie one Of the mightlest

''---'' RIVERS Mcneil
Notifies Motor Boat Owners Of
Chicago of the Laws They
Must Obey.

So much trouble was experienced
last year with persons who did not
understand the motor boat laws and
who, when arrested for violation, said
they did not know where they could
get copies of the laws, that Rivers
Mcneil, collector OF customs, has In.
stituted plan to give every motor
boat owner chance to get the laws
this year.
Mr.. Mcneil is sending to the post.
master Of every town along the I'LL.
nois river and the Mississippi river
to the southern boundary Of the state
letters asking them to supply motor
boat owners with copies Of the act
which he will send to the post Offices.
Last season 100 boats In the riv.
ers were boarded by the crews OF the
United States coast guard boats pa.
trolling the rivers to enforce the law"
said Mr.. McNeill. Il should much
prefer to supply motor boat owners
with copies Of the regulations and the
pilot rules and thus prevent viola.
tions rather than than impose pen.
atty after violation, particularly
where It was committed through ig.
norance of the law"
