on Brown with the long piece of met
al. Rister. Brown claimed clutched
him until he believes he has a broken
rib. Mrs. Brown was involved in the
case but she testified that she saw
the handwritings on the wall when
the men began drinking at the celebra-
ton of Rister's s5th birthday and rath-
er than be put in Jail and more, left the
neighborhood and rented a room up
the street. Brown told the court his
wife had been in an inebriated condi-
ton since last Christmas and he did
not know when she was going to
discontinue the exercise.
He and Rister had trouble once be-
fore when all hands were in the re-
corders court. 1t was strongly init
mated that Rister had been making
friendly eyes at Mrs. Brown, which
was the origin of the trouble, accord
ing to Brown. Rister disclaimed any
intention of being anything but friend
ly to both parties, having on one oc-
casion paid their fines to get them out
of jail. and Brown was so thankful that
he would not charge Rister anything
for room and board.
Brown claimed that Rister had APP
preached his home and called him
names and demanded entrance, which
was refused. Rister then, according
to Brown, kicked in the door and
worked upon him with his fists. He
also broke the gun and taking the
barrel thumped him on the body with
1T.
Rister claimed that Brown had call
ed him bad names across the yard
and threatened to kill him and dared
him over in his yard Rister said he
could not stand the abuse and &C
cepted the challenge, took the gun
away from Brown and worked upon
him with the barrel of it.
There was enough testimony to give
a court stenographer pen paralysis
and the court summing up held Rister
for the county court and discharged
Brown.

ARE NOT
DEFERRED BY HUNS

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The deliber
ate bombing of hospitals by German
filters will not deter American nurses
from seeking service, said Miss Jane A
Delano, director of the department OF
nursing of the Red Cross, in a state
ment today.
THE persistent bombing of Re
Cross hospitals just as our drive TO
obtain military nurses begins, may be
a coincidence" said Mis- Delano. IF,
however, the Germans believe that
such methods will have any effect in
lettering American nurses from voIun
teering for hospital work, they are
badly mistaken.
Tactics of frightfulness will mere
~ send more and more TO them to
back up our men. If il is the German
intention of frightening our women
they will find that American women
do not know how to retreat any more
than do our boys in Picardy. The en-
r6llnrent OF nurses will be American
womanhood's answer"
