AVON BARD STOLE NO DEER
Nor Did Shakespeare Catch His
Death-a-cold by Roadside.

NEW YORK, April 25.-Two famous
stories about Shakespeare that have
have spread far and wide in many coun-
tries. including Scandinavia. in spite Of
the libel laws. were spoiled at the dinner
held in the National Arts Club, by the
club. the mayors committee on Shakes
pear and the Shaespeare Club. The oc-
casion was the anniversary Of Shakes
peare's birthday. Sunday. which marked
also the date Of his death.
The first story was that Shakespeare
had gone on on birthday party with
Ben Jonson and. after sleeping by the
roadside had caught the cold which
caused his death. DIR. Charles William
Wallace. who has spent many years in
England in research work in Shakes
pertains. said that in all his investiga-
tons he could find no hint that there
was any truth in this story.
He added that he believed the story
that Shakespeare when a young man
was arrested and sent to Jail for deer
stealing Is In the same class as the
other story. for he could find no record
of 1t anywhere. nor any reference to 1t
by writers Of Shakespeare's day.

said he had interested a number OF
American and British officials in the
project, and that they would aid In
obtaining Congressional action In
Washington permitting lifting Of the
legal barriers.
Practically all fghting Americans
are enthusiastically eager for the
plan, and Colonel Bullock said he an

ed, thrusting the revolver's muzzle un-
der Giambalvo's chin. Drop that
satchel!"
GiamDalvo oDeyed the latter conn
mand. but not the former. For weeks
he had been drilling with the Home De-
fense League and had been schooied in
what to do in an emergency in which
revolvers figured.
Instead Of holding up his hands.
Giambalvo whipped out his own pistol
and stuck the end under the strangers
chin. For a moment both stood notion

would shoot: '''.- 1''.-
As the stranger didn't pull the trig-
ger. Giambalvo took courage.
Back up!" he ordered.
He Backed Up Promptly.
The man backed. Reaching behind
him. he turned the door knob and
slowly retreated to the street On the
sidewalk he turned and ran.
A revolver was not the only home
defense weapon with which Glambslvo
was equipped. In his pocket was a
police whistle. He drew 1t and blew
several blasts. They were heard by
Policeman Hoffman. who fired three
shots over Cottone's head. This halted
him and he was arrested.
In the station house Cottone was
searched. Not only was a special dep

also a revolver permit. made out on the

PEACHES STOOLARCE
TO BE OF VALUE

c. G. courcier returned last night
from a short trip to Rush Springs,
bringing with him a quantity of large
luscious Elberta peaches raised on
the farm Of his brother, L. Courcier.
This is a case where quality and uni
formity of size proved financial loss
to the owner of the Elberta orchard.
The peaches are ripeniDg fast after
the last rain but are SO large and SO
uniform in size that they cannot be
packed in the special crates ordina.
rily used in the shipments of peaches
and consequently cannot be shipped
to market.
Mr.. Courcier's farm is two miles
south and three miles west Of Rush
Springs, near College Mound school

and 500 bushels of these Elberta peach
