CRESTED BUTTE NURDEIS
WERE Ov88 BLANKET

The eoruner's verdict WAS paseed On
the shooting at Crested Bate last
Friday night, TO tie eject that: ~Jchn
Showers shot and killed Henry O,Neil
and Fred Wieland, and after shooting
the two men, he committed suicide
! The TROUBLE between the men was
over . blenket and . searehlight,
which Showers wanted and Wieland
would not give to him. This angered
the man and he went to the marshal
and asked him TO 60 and get them.
The marshal told him to get them
himself. He then went to John Start
ka's house and asked him to 60; he
also refused. Showers then decided
to 20 himself.
Showers, it is alleged, made threat
to kill both Wieland and q man named
Snyder. Wieland, it appears had
been making moonshine liquor, and
Sheriff Hanlon found in his cabin .
keg Of fierce rot-gut with . dozen
bottles Of the same raw stuff. He had
also received that day, the record
shows, his monthly shipment Of two
quarts Of whiskey.
Whatever the quarrel, 1t appears
that O,Neil just happened along and
was shot. The latter was only "a
years old Wieland was about -.
Both men were found dead just
north Of the Coal creek bridge from
the power house, on Nein street.
It was at first thought that The
Austrian murderer had skipped for
the hills, and Sheriff Hanlon had q
party Of men with saddle horses Just
ready to take the trail when the body
was found behind the Catholic church,
with bullet from the same revolver
in his brain.
The killing occurred shortly before
1880. Friday morning. A short time
later the officers were on the ground
investigating, altho Crested Butte is
% miles from Gunnison. Early the
next forenoon the body Of Showers
was found. Coroner ]. d. Walker
summoned . jury, J. n. McDougal,
deputy district attorney, examined
the witnesses. The jury consisted Of
prominent Crested Butte business
mon.
John Showers was buried Saturday,
Fred Wieland, Sunday afternoon, and
O'Neil, Monday morning.

CONTRADICTORY REPORTS.
Concerning Bert Falls Of Wilmington
Who Writes Home After Being Re-
ported Missing.

Again there has occurred here a case
where government casualty report
has been seemingly contradIcted by n
letter-date. Corporal Bert Falls, formerly
of IOIi Bennett street. Wilmington,
has been reported missing in action since
October s, but his mother received a
letter from him, dated October IL, ac-
coriing To which, he was then living and
in good health, and with his own com
pany
The boy was born in Wilmington in
1895 and lived here all his life, until
activities and long residence here have
made him very we'll known. He was
employed at the Pusey and Jones ship
yards. On May l. 1919, he
ent red the service as a private, join
ing the ll5th Infantry.
lie was sent to Fort Slocum, n. !.
and later to Camp McClellen, Alabama.
Five weeks after the date of his enlist
ment he landed in France. His company
got into the thick of the fighting soon
afterward.
1t was then that Falls was promoted
to corporal He has been lover the top
four times, having been slightly wounded
the second time Later he was reported
missing in action, but soon turned up in
his own company In the stress and ex-
citement of the fighting. he had gotten
lost and had found himself with a COM
pany of French soldiers Later still he
was again wounded, but soon recovered
II is possible that either the government
report is an error. or that he again got
lost. and that he may be heard from again.

mann BOUNDS BACK
WITH CHANGED VIEWS
Former Anti-Ally and Pacifist Now
Speaks With Voice Of
Senator Lodge.

Representative Mann was and tech
nically is the Republican leader OF the
House As such he was consistently
sntlaly, EopaSeIiist noWaver 1--WE ea aarso 1T SO
with him and made war on Germany.
Then the Republican leader, first pro-
testing that he accepted the verdict
and would stand by his country, be-
came too i'll to lead any longer; and
the leadership was put in commission,
with Mr.. Gillett of Massachusetts,, a
hard-headcd and hard-hitting person,
doing the major share of it and Mr..
Kahn of California, an American through
and through, though born in Germany, in
charge of some more dramatic parts of 1T.
The war is over, the Republicans
have captured the next House, and
there has begun speculation about the
speakership. Shall it go to Mr.. Gil
lett or to some other? Then, with a
suddenness like the unexpected reap
pearances of Daniel Quilp, Mr.. Mann
suddenly comes bounding in through
the window. 1t seems that he isn't sick
at all now. He is the Republican leader
again, and as such entitled TO the speaker
ship by the good old seniority rule. In this
capacity of Leader Rcdlvivus he gives out
an interview in which he declares that
the party, as party, will make no at
tacks on President Wilson, and that
what individual Republicans may do is
of no consequence.
There is SO much sense about this
declaration that it would not be under
standahlc, except on the theory that
Mir Manns Illness had affected his
mind for the better, were II not for the
hints the Washington correspondents
give us that the voice only is that of
Mr. Mann, the mind being that Of
Senator Lodge Whoever inspired MIR
Mann inspired him commendabiy, But
the statement greatly gricves Senator
Sherman, who comes from Mr. Mann $
own State, and who began To bc n Prcsi-
dental candidate in 1915. of the date Of
the dcceas. ~ MIR sherman $ presidential
ambitions the country has never been
informed, and therefore assumes them TO
he not deceased 1T I'll He also did every
thing he could TO hurt tho cause of the
Allies before We entered the war, and,
unlike Mr. Mann, he had the imprudence
to keep on making objectionable speeches
and giving interviews even after VIC
entered the war Except that they
sound like the writings Of man who
had read some books and associated with
persons Of culture, there was nothing to
dissociate them from the speeches Of that
other famous lllinoisan, Mayor William
Hale Thompson. The New York Times.
