Did This Man Kill Mrs.
King?

Otto Schumann, an interned alien
enemy. is now charged with the
murder of Mrs. Maud L. King at
Concord. for whose murder CASTOR
B. Means was acquitted last winter.
1t is claimed thatnMeans, who was
well up. on German government
plans, had told the German interests
that he was going to work for his
own government and that they hired
Schumann to kill him and when the
shot was fired that it struck Mrs.
King instead of Means. Schumann,
it is claimed. was in Concord at the
time and followed the party on a
motorcycle to the spring that fateful
night.

Another Peace MOYe

Today's telegraph indicates that
there is real" move for peace be-
tween Austria and Italy and that
King >Alphonso and the Pope may
act as intermediary. 1t is believed
that the Austrian Emperor must
either attain peace or resort to harsh
measures. However the allied side
is inclined to believe that it is an
other scheme of the kaiser to work
against the allied cause. The Pope
has not proven sincere heretofore
or at. least he was not credited with
being sincere Italy will hardly make
a separate peace.

High Point get up a benefit enter

is one of the best ways to show our
real appreciation of their efforts. In
