 Form w. $. $. Societies
State Director Crowder Will Appoint Agents to Handle This
 Work

MYSTERY SHR0UDS
 LOCATION OF CORP. HENCKE[[, C0. K
Son of Local Pastor, Wound
 ed at Chateau Thierry on July 26, Has Not Been Heard From

The efforts of the Rev. Carl Henckell, rector of Grace Episcopal church, at
 Woodlawn to ascertain whether his son, Corporal Henckell afte rbeing wounded Company K. 167th infantry, Rainbow division. is alive or whether he died from the serious wounds received in the lighting of July '26, have proven futile up to the present time. Just few days before he was wounded young Henckeh was promoted to scout observer for his brigade and had written a cheerful let ter to his parents here, but since that time they have heard nothing from him. The official communication giving de- tails of the first treatment accorded
 Corpoal Henckell after being wounded has been received by Rev Henckell, but no further indications of what happened l to the young man after being turned over to hospital surgeons is given in this communication, which comes from Lieut.. Harold E. Brown intelligence officer or
 the Third battalion. 167th infantry.
 | Lieutenant Brown states that young ! Henckell was wounded at La CroiX Rouge farm. Chateau Thierry, on the afternoon of July 2s. 1918, his wounds consisting of serious injuries to his legs, | hips and abdomen by shrapnel or high explosive shell. Dr. Dabney, dental sur geon of the 167th regiment, dressed the l wounds on the Scence or aCuOn (lifSt dlu)'
 after which the wounded man was car ried on a stretcher to the 161th regi-
 mental dressing station by Private Rich L ard P. Dennis, Private Veyden Ander-
 son and Private Daniel Boswell, all of 1 Company K, 167th infantry
 According to Lieutenant Brown these men stated that they delivered him to
 the surgeon at the dressing station and
 that he was conscious and resting easily when they left him. Tt is presumed that Henckell was carried to the field hos pital by ambulance said Lieutenant Brown ''however the 167th regiment has not yet been advised that he was ever Iadmitted to hospital The 167th regi- ment has no record of the young man s ldeath and although the matter has been investigated no one can be found that lever heard of his whereabouts after be- ling delivered to the dressing station.
 l Lieutenant Brown advises the Rev. Henckell to take up the matter with the adjutant general at Washington. He !pays high tribute to this Birmingham mans bravery in action on numerous oc- lcasions and declares Corporal Henckell had splendid reputation and was be- loved by those who knew him in Com
 pany k and in the Third battalion.

INDIGESTION CONQUERED Remedy That Relieves Indigestion and Helps Restore Disordered Nerves a Normal Condition
 Get Ironized Paw-Paw

PAW -PAW. the only real stomach digestant; IRON. the producer of rich, red blood. and NUA, the true antidote for disordered nerves.
 Disordered stomachs are responsible for nearly all bodily ills. Where per son eats heartily and digests his food properly the blood is vitalized and en- and all the vital organs into active and healthful operation. Where the stomach is strong the blood is strong: where the blood is strong the nerves are strong; where the nerves are strong the kid neys, heart and lungs and liver are strong: Many people die from starva- starve the nerves and the general tis- sues of the whole body. Not that people do not fill their stomach with nourish- ing food, but because what they do put into the stomach does not properly di gest, does not properly assimilate."
 That's why people write to say that Ironized Paw-Paw has cured them of nervousness
 That's why we hear of kidney and liver troubles that have been cured by Ironized PawPaw.
 That's why we get so many letters saving that Ironized Paw-Paw has cured Catarrh.
 All these ailments probably had their origin in some form of stomach trouble. Paw-Paw cured and cleansed the stom- ach. purified the blood, toned up the nerves and the sufferers soon found that the other real or fancied ailments had left them.

FATE OF WOMAN
DEPENDS UPON
JURY'S VERDICT
Trial of Mrs. Van AusdeII,
Charged With Shooting Mrs.
Ijams Finished, and Case
Is Submitted.

The jury in the Van Audsell case
which went out at noon yesterday
was still out al the hour this paper
went to press.
The defense built up most of its
arguments on the plea of the TN
written law and the fact that DR..
G. w. Dishong testified that Mrs.
Van Ausdell suffered from hysteric
insanity at the time the shooting
occurred.
The Prosecutions Case.
The prosecuting attorneys, Coun-
to Attorney Shotwell and his assist
ant. w. w. Slabaugh, based the
prosecution on the fact that the
women took the law into her own
hands. The prosecution was backed
in their statements, that the "un-
| written law" is of no value in the
eyes of law and courts by Judge
Redick in his instructions to the
jury.
Dr.. c. A. Young, called as witness
by the prosecution, declared that, in
his, opinion, Mrs. Van Audsell was
not suffering from hysterical insan-
ity at the time she committed the
shooting.
During the entire time of the trial
Mrs. Van Ausdell's two daughters,
Monrieve, 10 years old, and Gay, two
years her junior, were sitting at
their mothers side. When testify
ing on Tuesday, Monrieve suffered
breakdown. Her mother too,
broke down in Mysteries and caused
the trial to be delayed for more than
a half hour.
Looked for Acquittal.
Many persons who sat through
the long trial looked for a verdict to
be returned quickly. Though Coun-
ty Attorney Shotwell had made a
strong case for the state, the fact
that the defendant is a woman and
a mother and that Mrs. Ijams was
not killed, but sat in the court room
throughout the trial, apparently in
the best of health and for the further
fact that a woman has never been
convicted in Douglas county in a
case of this kind, caused those who
heard the trial to believe that the
jury would acquit Mrs. Van Ausdell
promptly.
Mrs. Van Ausdell and her daghters
Monrieve and Gay, 10 and u years
old, and many of their friends re-
manned in the courtroom without
throughout the afternoon waiting
throughout the afternoon WAITING
for the verdict.
Many Women at Trial.
The many women who have been
present during the trial were on
hand to hear the arguments.
Deputy County Attorney Slabaugh
made the opening argument to the
jury. Then Attorney ]. R. Lones
for the defense spoke and the states
argument was closed by County At
torney Shotwell.
1--WE cannot decide this question
by sympathy" Mr.. Shotwell told
the jury. 1T has been stated here
that woman has never been con-

TEST FLIGHTS TO
determine AIR
CURRENT MADE.
Fort Omaha Officers Find Air
Current Here Travels Par
aIIeI to Missouri River
Valley.

A series OF flights to determine
whether or not winds and air cur
rents at higher attitudes are sea-
sonal have been made by Fort Oma-
ha officers under the direction of
1t. Ralph A. Reynolds. From data
and observation taken this year and
last year the officers have been led
to believe that at certain times in
the year winds and air currents
travel in definite directions.
This is one of the most important
discoveries made, according to
meteorologists.
1t has also been found that air
currents in this vicinity travel in a
course nearly parallel to the Mis-
souri, river valley.
Fort Omaha officers assembled to
an altitude of 5000 feet on the night
of May lo 1nd travelled from here
to Kansas City. A study of the air
currents at night was made. An
other flight was made five days later
for the same purpose.

victed of crime such as this one in
the history of Douglas county, We
ought TO be ashamed of it if that is
true.
Law in Own Hands.
IF we are going to acquit any
woman who takes the law into her
own hands and goes out and shoots
another person who, she believes,
has wronged her, then society may
as we'll be adjourned.
Il sympathize with Mrs. Van
Ausdell and her daughters. But |
cannot uphold the law by allowing
my sympathies to sway me. The
law is explicit. Women have been
granted suffrage, and | believe right
ly so. They should also be made
answerable when they break the law
Oh exactly the same footing as a
man.
The plea of the 'unwritten law
has been lugged into this case as
mere camouflage. There is no such
thing as an unwritten law"
Judge Redick emphasized the fact
that the jury must determine wheth-
err Mrs. Van Ausdell was able to
distinguish right from wrong at the
time she committed the crime.
His instructions closed with the
statement that the jury's verdict
must be in one of three forms, as
follows:
Guilty"
Not guilty, because she was in
sane at the time she committed the
act"
Not guilty."
