 Johnson and Davis, with Johnson's brother, were the principal witnesses called Examination had to be con- ducted slowly through interpreters, and the Indians, dressed in nondescript garments, seemed often confused. Cros-examination by the government was conducted by United States At torney Flynn, and objections to ques- tions were raised often from both sides.
 Chief on Stand
 Chief Johnson's testimony was prac- tically a general denial of everything alleged by government witnesses. He denied ever having called Barley a witch or saying that he CBarley) should be killed, and disclaimed having anything to do with Barley's death. Tom Johnson, the chiefs brother, was called to the stand and testified as to the chiefs whereabouts the night of Barley's death, March 6, saying he was at home
 Davis, who is alleged to have killed Barley, March 6, at the order of Chief Johnson, was the most interesting witness called during the afternoon He said he had not seen Johnson for three or four months prior to the kill ing, and knew nothing of it until after his arrest. He declared he did not know exactly where Barley lived and had nothing to do with the medicine man
 Witehery Is Charged
 Davis told the court that after being arrested he did not know what charge he was being held on until Johnson told him at the latter's house. He de. scribed his arrest, but denied that h. had resisted the officers with shovel as a previous witness had said.
 Testimony introduced by the gov, ernment yesterday morning was alon. the same lines as the day before, tryini to prove that Johnson and Barley wer enmies and that Johnson had callet Barley a witch and said he ought to b killed, and that his witchery ha, caused deaths in the tribe.

just in time to confront, face to face, the said John Henry.
 Instantly the pair noted each other with swift, searching gaze, the young CT man emitted a short gasp the elder stood rooted in his tracks, trembling in every fiber. But only for a moment was there hesitation, and then the pair were locked in each others arms, bab- bling words of love and affection. Son." murmured John Henry. "Yes, father" came the response from Pat Henry. "Thank God, thank God" were the words that fell from the lips of the older man, and then the two withdrew to privacy to enjoy all alone their new found joy and happiness. The pair were father and son.
 Some years ago their home was in a small town on the Miami river. A great flood swept down the river one day, overflowed the country and partly destroyed the town. The Henry domi- cile was swept away. Father and son became separated Each went his way, regarding the other as dead.
 All these years, however, they have been living in the same state within a few hours ride of the other. Recently both were required to visit Texas on business; they came to the same town, chose the same hotel, and then fate gave the wheel a final whirl which cast them into each othsr's arms. When | they gazed into each others eyes rec ognition was instantaneous, and the shock to the emotions was beyond the powers of description

| of the Wisconsin Statutes which reads
as follows:
'The several county treasurers shall
pay to the state treasurer, the amount

tive counties, on or before the second
Monday of March in each year"

25 of the statutes, on or before the
first day of May in each year"

to the bonus law provides that the sur

lected in the same manner and at the
same time as is provided for the re-
turn, assessment and collection Of the
normal income tax, under Section
1O87m-1 which would be May 1st.

ter part of March. 1t may be we'll to

CONTEMPLATED
CHANGESI
BUILDING

Since the Consolidated w. P. & P.
Co. have decided to purchase the Mac
Kinnon block and the Pomainville and
LeFebvre block for contemplated i'm
provements they will make in 1920,
others have been stimulated to make
changes and improvements in that
neighborhood. The Nash Hardware
Co. own the property on the opposite
corner across Grand Avenue and their
building parallels that avenue and
faces the river on First Avenue So.
They have now decided to sTe-arraraz.e
the building so as to face on Grand
Avenue and make two or three separ-
ate stores by building extensions on
the west side of the present building to
give the new stores sufficient length
with the width. These changes will
make valuable improvements to our
city on the west side of the river.
The new Grand Rapids bank build
ing will be erected next year opposite
the Johnson & Hill Co. store with 9TH
er changes in that immediate vicinity
will give the west side great boom.
East siders will be obliged to wake
up to their opportunities.

ed the Sunday Evening Club in this
city at the Congregational church.

proved himself very interesting and
instructive speaker. He spoke on tha
subject of ''The Challenge of the Miss
issippi Valley"
His years of acquaintance with the
Middle West, his intimate KNOWLEDGE
of the educational, economic and re-
hglous problems of this section. of the
nation qualified him to speak on this
subject. Dean Ward is a strong speak
er, clear and Illuminating. He is much
sought at6er as a preacher in tha
largest churches and as a counsellor
IN institutes and conferences. His fa-
mlllarity with the early history of the
Mississippi Valley and the Middle
West aided him in applying the truths
connected with the great influence this
section of the U. S. has upon the bal
ance of the country. He said we were
well qualified to do our part in infiu-
enclng the nation at the present time
IN solving the commercial and reliei
Gus problems.
Mr.. Ward is regarded as an expert
IN the field of Religious Education. He
is chairman of the committee Of the
Chicago Federation of Churches on
Community Education, and in that
position has had more influence than
any other individual in developing
the plan of Community Religious Ed
ucation that is being carried for

this plan churches of many faiths
are cooperating in their Sunday
school work, securing better instruc-
tors and finer equipment.
His address was greatly appreciated
by those who had the pleasure of hear
ing him.
