Chickens

West Plains, Mo-, June &c. S.
Alvord, II years old, an old Union
soldier, shot two times at Robert
Wood, a real estate agent, Saturday.
More than 200 shots struck Wood,
none of them seemingly to be serious.
Alvord and Wood are n6ghbors,
residing in the southeastern suburbs
of the city. Woods chickens nave
been getting into Alvord's garden.
Alvord killed one of the chickens
Saturday morning and Woods told
Alvord he was going to have him ar
rested. About seven o'clock Satur-
day morning, as Wood was cranking
his Ford to come to his office, Alvord
ask him if he intended having him
arrested. Wood said he sure was.
Then Alvord got on mis- fighting
clothes. '"Tilen Pm going to kill
you" Wood says the old veteran re-
Wood ran into his yard and
got behind the well house, while Al
word went into his home. Wood says
he waited awhile and believing the
coast was clear started to get into
the automobile. Alvord then fired
both. barrels of his shotgun.
Alvord surrendered to the officers.
He was released on giving bond
for $1,000. Justice George Halstead

Morgan denied that the killing was
premeditated. He continues to main
tain his Indifferent attitude, although
today he expressed a desire that ne
be allowed to visit his wife's grave.
Morgan, the authorities said, has
given them many of the details of his
earlier life. He was born, he said,
in Vienna, ILL.,, of well to do parents.
When a young man he went to work
in a MOTEL at Henderson, KY, going
from there to Nashville, Tenn. Later

In Birmingham, he said, he met his

PRESIDENT ORDERS
RESERVE OF WHEAT
Authorizes Food Admin str alton
To Assemble The Reserve
For Country.

Washington, June 24.-Forecasting
a determination on the part of the
government to build up an immense
reserve of wheat supplies, President
Wilson today issued an executive or
der authorizing the food administra-
ton to assemble the reserve and au-
thorizing the United States Grain
Corporation to increase its capital
stock to the extent of $150,O00,000 to
carry out the provisions of the order.
Another section of the order fore
casts an increase of the price of
wheat in the primary markets to COW
er the increase in freight rates which
are now charged against the farmer
selling the grain.
The decision to make the govern
ment of the United States a hoardel
of grain was intimated by the Fed
eral Food Administration in a state
ment recently given out, in which at
tention was called to the wisdom OF
doing this, as exemplified in Egypt
some 5000 years ago. Just as JOSEPH
prevailed upon Pharaoh of old to an.
ticipate the lean years to come by
boarding the crops of the fat years
so it is intended to build up an i'm
mense reserve, starting with thu
bumper crop of the present year
which promises to reach the total o.
a billion bushels.

IS MYSTERIOUSLY
SHOT WORKING IN
BLACKSMITHSHOP
Ernest Telle of GOrdOnviIle
Brought to Cape For
Treatment.
is SHOT IN RIGHT LEG,
WOUND NOT SERIOUS
SAYS He Does Not Know Who
Fired ShOt-NObOdy Seen
With A Weapon.

While standing in his blacksmith
shop at Gordonville Ernest Telle, 81
years old, owner of the shop, was
seriously wounded by a stray bullet
fired from 80 calibre weapon. The
bullet struck him in the right groin
ranging downward. The shooting
occurred about 1870 in the. morning
The wounded man ran to the of
fee of DR.. Ford, a short distance
away, where he nearly collapsed
from the loss of blood. After dress
ing the wound the physician took him
to his boarding place, but later the
young man was removed to the ST.
Francis Hospital at the Cape, in or
der to get the proper treatment.
Young Telle was standing in the
door of his shop, which is on an ele-
waited place, reaching for piece of
iron which was lying on a shelf near
the ceiling. He did not hear the re-
port of gun, but feeling a sudden
singing pain in his groin ran for
the physicians Office. Other persons
who were near the shop at the time,
saw nobody with weapon.
According to DR.. Ford who accom-
panied the young man to the Cape,
the wound is not dangerous. Due
to the fact that Telle was standing
lower than the point from which the
bullet was fired, he said the shot
ranged downward. He said he be-
licved the young man would recover
in week.
An investigation was made by
neigbOrs, but no one could be found
in the vicinity. 1t was later learned
that boy carrying a Winchester rifle
was driving some cows to the pasture
about the time the shooting occurred
but the boy insisted that he fred only
one shot. and that was in the air at
bird sitting in tree.
Telle has lived in Gordonville
about two years. He has been board
ing win the family OF Charles Neu-
meyer. He came from UniOntown, in
Perry County.
He told mis- friends he did not be-
lieve that the shot vas fired with
the intention of wounding him, as he
had no enemies in the town. He said
he was satisfied the shooting was
purely accidental.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S APPOINT.
MENT OF HUGHES.

The appointment by the President Of
Charles E. Hughes to Investigate the
aircraft middle could not be improved
upon.
The country knows Mr.. Hughes and
knows him we'll It first made his &C
quaintance as the fearless investiga-
tor Of life insurance corruption. And
later it came to know him we'll as
Governor of New York, as Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, as the
Republican candidate for President in
1915.
Mr. Hughes prompt acceptance Of
the appointment entities him to an
other credit mark, for his acceptance
is an assurance that the inquiry will
be thorough, complete and impartial;
that it will put the American people
in possession of all the facts, uncolor-
ed by political considerations.
Neither Congress nor the War De-
partment need to go any further with
their proposed Investigations.
1t is probable that no money has
been stolen, but that year has been
largely wasted in endeavors to pro-
duce something better than anything
now in use by any European army.

SIXTY.SECOND DAY OF GREAT
EST OF RATTLES.

During the past week the allied
troops have improved their positions
here and there by strong local attacks,
which were not followed by any re-
action or counter attacks by the Ger
man infantry. Aside from the nibbl-
ing tactics of the allies to improve
their battle lines, this greatest of bat
ties has been little more than a pro-
longed artillery duel since the first of
the present month.
During the last two days of April
the Kaiser threw his best divisions
against the allies, and they charged
and charged until some Of their units
ceased to exist, and until all Of them
had losses ranging from so to 20
per cent.
A precedent for this deadly work
can be found in the charges Of Ma
poleon's splendid cavalry at Water
loo. They charged and continued to
charge until they practically ceased
to exist, but they never broke We'll
lington's infantry lines.
More than three weeks has now
elapsed since the slaughter Of the
Kaiser's veterans, and the Germans
still hesitate to renew their drive to
reach the English channel and by so
doing cut the allied armies into two
pieces.

deared him to wide circle of friends
and it is not strange that the word
goes forth that he will be missed with
feeling of genuine sorrow.
Mr.. Kehoe was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Katie Sullivan,
their wedding occurring September
20, 1886. On July 26, 1887 a daughter,
Katie, was born to this union and the
mother passed on the same day, a few
hours following the ordeal Katie
lived until August 3, 1904, when she
too answered the summons. He was
again married February 4, 1891, to
Miss Mary McElmeel, who survives
him, and whose devotion was untiring
during the years of their companion
ship and those last months Of illness.

the pastor, delivered an inspiring ser

laid to rest in the cemetery near by.
The large outpouring Of friends and
neighbors attested the high esteem in
which he had been held; while banks
Of flowers were mute testimony of
sympathy and sorrow as potent as
words.

KEEP YOUR BOND.
(ChicagO Tribune)

A curious and lamentable conse-
uuence of the wonderful sale Of Lib
erty bonds recently closed is that pro-
moters are putting considerable part
Of the 100000 subscribers on their
"lists.' People who have just made
their first investment by subscribing
for a $50 or a 800 bond are approach
ed, told that the bond is now selling
below par and probably will sell low
er, but that if the subscriber will
agree to exchange his bond for stock
which the promoter is Offering to "a
few shrewd investors" he can get par
for it. The promoter agrees to ac-
cept the bond at, face value in payment
for stock which, he says, will yield a
much greater income than the bond
and ultimately sell at an enormous
profit
1t appears that Iowa, which set the
pace for Liberty loan subscriptions, is
the most fertile field for these promot-
ers, and in some parts of that state
the prospect is that nearly all the
small bonds subscribed will have been
sold before they are completely paid
for. Of course the result will be that
the bonds will be thrown on the mar
ket soon after they are delivered to
subscribers, and unless the govern
ment Sinking fund" is worked over
time to sustain the market the price
will decline still further
People who thus exchange their
bonds for purely speculative and per-
haps worthless stocks are dupes. They
showed patriotism by subscribing at
par for bond when they could have
bought it in the market below 81. If
they lack good Judgment enough to
keep them from exchanging a gilt
edged bond for promotion stock their
patriotism should restrain them, and
probably would if the facts were call
ed to their attention. The "buy a
bond" campaign brought surprising re-
suits. Perhaps keep your bond"
campaign would do asmuch.

According to reports, seemingly au-
thentic, the wholesale slaughter of
Armenians has again commenced.
While the Turks are doing the killing
of Christian men, women and children
in Armenia, the German commanders
are equally to blame. One word from
the kaiser would put an end to this
horrible work. The evidence con-
tinues to accumulate that the German
high command is humanity's enemy.

(Hopkinton Leader.)

The death of D. E. Kehoe occurred
at his home in Hopkinton early Tues
day morning, following an illness of
a protracted period but which only re-

and its complications was the cause of
death. He had been fighting against
it's encroachments upon a once vigor-

and of late every possible recourse
was resorted to in vain hope to fur
Their delay the inevitable call.
No citizen of the community was bet
ter or more widely known than Denny
Kehoe, and he was popular and high
ly esteemed in all circles. He was
born upon the old homestead in Union
township, November 16, 1860, and
therefore only in his prime as to years.
He was the son of Patrick Kehoe, who
settled in the Castle Grove neighbor-
hood in 1850. Born of sturdy pioneer
parents, and in his youth undergoing
the vicissitudes of pioneer life, he re-
tanned the sturdy characteristics and
unimpeachable honesty that was a
mark of distinction in them Passing
his boyhood days, he launched into
business, and for thirty-five years had
been known far and wide as a stock
buyer of large dealings. For num-
Der of years he was engaged with G.
N. Hull in that line, again for himself,
and for twenty-three. years previous
to the death of the late H. M. Johnson

Denny Kehoe was known as a man
of large heart and generous impulses.
No appeal to him was in vain. His

GERMAN PEOPLE INTERESTED IN
OVERTHROW OF KAISER,

The best interests of the German
people call for the overthrow of the
kaiser and his inhuman military ma
chine. This statement is true, ever
lastingly true, because the people of
the civilized nations of the earth will
not trade with Germany, will refuse
to buy anything made in Germany,
while the present ghoulish govern

rule.
Who would buy anything grown or
made in country the government OF
which would slaughter and mutilate
