A year ago last October J. H. Kill

a position at the Shoshone Meat Mar
ket. where he has served the public
ever since. 1t is rather remarkable,
considering the fighting proclivities
suggested by his name. and the con-
stantly rising price of meat that Mr.
Fitzpatrick has never been drawn into
battle with the grouchiest of custom
ers. Like the rain. his smile falls alike
ON the just and the unjust. A month
ago Mr.. fitzpatrick bought the Sho-
shone Market from w. c. Custer. and
took charge so quietly that the Journal
reporter was a month behind time in
of the change. Mr.. Fitzpatrick
deserves all the success that is sure
to be his.

ALLEGED SPY Is
LOCKED UP HERE
German Subject with German Name
Was Posing as Detective and
County Game Warden.

Carl Otto Won Seigel, Of German
birth and a German subject, who car
ries a registration card and claims to
have registered for the war draft at
Ridgeland, Kinds county, Mississippi,
is Jail here on suspicion. He was
arrested at Money by representatives
of the Sheriff's office. He was ming
ling with the negroes in the northern
end of the county, showing them
Southern Detective Agency's badge
and claiming to be game warden.
Planters learning of his tactics and
being suspicious of his intentions made
complaint to Sheriff CARROT, who had
him arrested. Won Seigel seemed to
have been operating chiefly along the
railroad lines and especially close
around unguarded bridges. On the ap-
proach of train he would hide in the
bushes and would advise any negroes
with whom he was talking to do the
same.
Running across some negroes sein-
ing for fish he is said to have taken
the fish and declared himself to be the
county game warden.
He told Sheriff Carrot at the jail
that he had made application for his
first papers and proposed to become
a citizen of this country.
His actions have been very suspi-
cious and his excuse one that natur-
ally would throw suspicion on anyone
much less a man bearing name such
as his and a professed German sub
ject. 1t is probably well for him that
he fell into the hands of the Sheriff
instead of over Jealous citizens.

In the former there is little sign of

On the western front it is different
The German onslaught has met with
desperate resistance and the Ger
