washington, June S.-Wtth Official
returns Of the selective draft registra-
ton coming In slowly to the War De-
partment, government officials are
satisfied that the total registration
probably will exceed 1O.000.000. Com
plste reports from seven states and
tho District of Columbia received at
tho provost marshal generals office
Thursday gave a total of 8l6.4 .4O7 men
registered, as compared with their
census estimate Of S48,9l7.
The estimates were based on the
census Of 1910. to which the Census
Bureau had added its estimate Of the
growth OF population for each section.
The figures. therefore. were not an
absolute criterion for comparison.
Pennsylvania registered almost u
hundred thousand more men than cen
sus estimates, according to figures re-
ceived by the War Department. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh reported the regis
tration Of 0,300. The census figures
anticipated were S79.3S8.
The War Department is working ON
regulations for the second step In the
army draft. selection by lot of pro-
portion OF young men registered,
while the provost marshal generals
office was compiling data on the reg.
istration.
It may take a week or ten days to
complete the nationwide tabulations.
Then the War Department will pre-
scribe rules for drawing names Of men
who are to be examined before local
or precinct exemption boards and for
the composition Of these boards and
Of boards of review to which those
drafted may appeal.
A call for definite number Of
troops will be issued. each state will
be notified to contribute certain
proportion and state authorities In
turn will determine allotments for
subdivisions.
Officials noted that the returns
received SO far indicate that more
than half Of the men registered either
claimed exemption or gave facts
which might exempt them. The War
Department may issue a guiding
statement for boards OF exemptions,
but actual decision on each case will
be left to the local authorities. EN-
phasis is laid on the determination to
prescribe no class exemptions. but to
pass on cases individually.

Killing at Deane.

Frank Bottorff was shot, and instantly killed, by Mir. Will Parish, at Deane, seven miles east of this city, last Friday morning at 9 O'clock.
 At Coroner's inquest, MT. Parish was justified in the kill ing, and acquitted. The circnm- stances, as we learn them, are substantially these: Parish had married the divorced wife of Bottorf, which seemed to in- cense the latter, and threats a. gainst both Parish and Mrs. Parish's lives had been made, so it was said. On the night be- fore the killing an effort was made to burn the Parish home, but the inmates were awakened by the barking of their dog, when they discovered a lot of straw, on fire, under the dwell- ing. This was extlngulshed. The next morning, when MT. Parish walked out on his front porch to get some wood, he was called to by Bottorff, just out side the yard, not to move or he would kill him, at the same time holding pistol in his hand, ,, pointed at Parish. Bottorff it is said, approached the house with the weapon still pointed at Parish; but in getting over the fence he slightly turned, when Parish jumped back into the house, got his shot-g and fired both barrels at his assailant, who by this time had jumped in. to the yard. Bottorff was in stantly killed. Nearby neigh. bors, attracted by the shooting, reaching the scene of the tragedy, immediately, found the dead man with pistol lying on the ground near his right hand and another pistol, fully loaded, in his pocket.
 It seems that Bottortf had just arrived, the night before, from Louisiana, and that hi' presence in the community wa unknown to Parish until he wal accosted by Bottorf, just Priol to the killing.
 Mir. Parish is a quiet, peacablt citizen, and was born and reared in this county. Bottorif, we learn, came to this county iron Nebraska, few years ago.
