Defense.

Russelville. Ala, Aug. 24.-Taking of

rumors of scandal In which Terry
was alleged to be one of the principals
Terry told the doctor that If he be-
lieved them for him to see the pre-
siding elder of the district and have
him call meeting to investigate the
matter, and that he, Terry, would
make Hughes go before this meeting
and tell what he knew about it.
At this point Terry sgd that Hughes
told him that he had played the devil,
stopped the car, an1 made him get
out. When he had gotten out and
turned around to face the car. Hughes
shot him with a small pistol. Terry
says he then grabbed his shotgun from
the car and shot Hughes. Hughes shot
him again with the pistol, and he then
shot he doctor In tho breast. Hughes
disappeared and he collapsed.
Evidence introduced by the state
showed that Terry had shotgun,
large and small pi3tol with him on
the trip with Hughes. Terry claimed
that Hughes took the small pistol from
his, Terry's. pocket end used it in
shooting him.

on the southern part Of the battle line
apparently are taking brief breath
ing spell, after days Of continuous
fighting under n broiling sun. leaving
The British to go ahead with the Of
fensive movement. This Is in accord
ance with the Foch system of striking
first on one section and then on an
other section Of the line.
The Germans on the part OF the
front along the Divette between Las
signy and the Disc, appear to be put
ting up stout resistance.

here already have seized the heights

 Announcement of the expected entry of American troops into the battle was hailed with deep satisfaction, as also was the decision of the allies to des1g nate a supreme command on the western front.
 Home advices received favorable interpretation, tonnage in the middle west, for example, showing a gain over the corresponding period last year This was nullified to degree by prospects of a shortage of shipping facilities, labor problems adding a dis turbing element
 The governments recent ruling on stock loans probably accounted for sporadic short covering among certain leaders, especially United States Steel which failed, however, to hold more than half its one point gain.
 Coppers were relatively more active than at any time in the past month, gains of from one to one and one half points resulting from the small avail able supply of the metal and we'll defined belief that new price schedules are likely to favor that commodity.

In John W. Garrett Colorado Springs, Col, boasts of one of the ablest of Uncle SamS great trapgur army. 7
 Garrett not only can shoot just about as we'll as anyone in the United States, or the world, but, incidental ly, he can shoot quicker.
 There are mary who believe Mrs Adolph Topperwein, the only woman professional trapshot, can load, shoot and unshell quicker than any other shooter. but it is doubtful if the fair Mrs. Topp can work any quicker than Garrett.
 The recent publication of trapshoot- ing records brought out many meri tor;ous performances that were not listed, and several of these were tc the credit of the Colorado Springs trapshot.
 The one that he points to with credit took place at Colorado City, Col, or Christmas day. 1902. On this occasion he broke 200 targets straight in 3( minutes and 12 seconds. Garrett has broken 99x100 targets in the las event of the Pastime Gun Club pro- gramme, and was requested by othel shooters to see how many he coulS break against time, consistent with { good score.
 Shooting alone. in strings of 25, fvc from each peg, the same as if he wa! in squad. handling his own gun anC shells. and loading the same as if ht was in competition, Garrett broke tn, first 100 straight in 16 minutes ant 46 seconds. and the second 100 in l; minutes and 27 seconds There was nt time taken out, the time being tallel from the firing of the first shot unti the last target was broken.
