Bessie LANCER Stays Tormentor

| Sergeant Eugene 2. LANCER
went to Spokane Friday in an
swer to message from his wife,
/ who, according to story in the
Spikesman-Review, had shot and
killed man who she claimed was
annoying her.
The Spokesman s story Of the
affair follows:
Henry Haley, age AZ, who was
shot in the abdomen Wednesday
night by Mrs. Bessie LANCER,
landlady of the Thorslund hotel,
W226 Riverside avenue, died at
the Sacred Heart hospital yester-
day afternoon. The body was
taken in charge by Smith & CO.,
and it is probable that an inquest
will be held today. Mrs. LANCER
is held in the city Jail on charge
of assault with a deadly weapon,
but it is believed that more SER
ious complaint will be lodged
against her by the prosecuting at
torney.
II had to shoot him to protect
myself" said Mrs. LANCER last
night when informed that Haley
had succumbed. "He was drink
ing and ! knew that he would
beat me if / let him get hold of
me. ! tried to get away from him
and hid in different rooms in the
hotel but he followed me and
chased me out. / had no one to |
help me and / could do nothing
but what | did. {"
Mrs. LANCER, who is said to be
the daughter of dad" ellis,
pioneer liquor dealer, stated that
she lived in Spokane about IL
years until about four years ago,
when she removed to Butte, Mon
tana, where she was married to
Eugene LANCER. Her husband en-
listed in the marines at the out
break of the war and was Is
in France, where he was
to first sergeant. She
'ays that he was here recently on
and is now visiting his

Nezperce. Idaho.

His Record.

A canine strange had just been
brought
Into the Dealers store
Where animals are sold and
bought
From ev'ry cline and shore:
His coat was shaggy and an
kempt.
Compared to others there,
AS though for months he'd been
exempt
From ordinary care.
The other animals inside,
With yard-long pedigrees,
Shrunk quickly from him in their
pride
They feared that he had fleas!
But suddenly their hautcur fled;
Transfixed, each one recants,
For they had spied his tag, which
read,
"a Red Cross Dog from
France I"-Life

More Pictures in Clearwater

The Lewiston country will furn.
ish the outdoor settings for all the
western pictures hereafter direct
ed by George Melford, of the Fam
GUS Players Lasky corporation,
makers Of the Paramount-Ar
craft pictures, said Saturday s
Lewiston Tribune. This was the
announcement made lost evening
by Mr.. Melford, who arrived in
the city from four weeks stay
in the upper Clearwater country,
where the outdoor scenes for
Told in the Hills were taken.
The Isdian settings and much of
the other outdoor features were
secured at Kamiah, where the
company was domiciled for two
weeks. For the past thirteen
days the company has been in the
high mountains of the Middle
Fork country, the camp being at
Coolwater, at the base of Look
out mountain. The camp was at
an elevation Of 1900 feet and Mr.
Melford found snow settings with
the trees loaded with snow and
all indications of mid-January
weather.
"This is wonderful country, y
said Mr.. Melford. Fl have seen
the best the Yosemite has to offer
and thought nothing could sur
pass the granduer Of that scenery.
| must confess that the Yosemite
does not compare with what |
have seen in the upper Clear
water. We used over 10000 feet
of film on this trip and this should
suggest our regard for the com
try. | have received a message
from the studio at Hollywood and
the pictures we have sent in are
pronounced the best they have
ever seen.
This country is sure to furnish
the settings for many western pie
lures and | expect to see William !
S. Hart come here for his next
western picture. Miss Ann Little,
of our company, and Mr.. Hart
are great friends and have work
ed together in many pictures.
Miss Little was so impressed with
the opportunities of this region
that she wrote Mr.. Hart of whar !
this country had to offer. Upon ;
her arrival here she received a (,
letter from Mr.. Hart in which he !
said he was much interested and {
would surely look up the Lewis ,
ton country before he made his
next western picture.
