THOMAS FLETCHER IN
 LAST H|-Y PROGRAM

The last number of the Hi-Y lecture course, the well known and famous lecturer, Thomas Brooks Fletcher comes tonight at o'clock at the high school auditorium.
 This is MT Fletchers second visit to Phoenix as he was here on the course last winter and was one of the most popular numbers of the entire season. The demand was so strong for his re- turn that the management immediately booked him for this season.
 MT. Fletcher is one of the few great men of the lyceum and chautauqua platform today that returns to the same town season after season and makes good every time. He is emi nently fitted by nature for his chosen profession He has the personal gifts of the great orator. Lecture course and chautauqua audiences like him be- cause he keeps them alive, alert and awake. They also like him on account of his sincere and cordial personality. He deals with live topics that are filled with apt and forceful illustrations which drive home to the minds of the hearers great truths in sometimes startling but always in an effective and lasting manner.
 Last year MT. Fletcher delivered one of his we'll known lectures, "The Mar tvrdom of Fools" and this time he will probably lecture on the Tragedies of the Unprepared."

CAPTURED SIX HUNS
 BUT ISN'T ANXIOUS
 FUR MORE FIGHTING

William Hoffman's back from the war. Like most of the soldiers who have gone through the fighting, he would not take a million for his ex- perience and would not go through it again for a million. Hoffman was formerly a member of the mechanical force of The Republican. He was at Funston for a time, but he was soon transferred to 8 Kansas regiment, the 353rd. and was sent to France in time to see the worst of it from the Ameri can point of view He went through the St. Mihiel drive.
 He describes a phase of that move ment that few of the other soldiers who have taken part in it have men toned After it was started, he said, it was a soldiers drive. There was no command and no track kept of any body of the forward rush. There had been ample preparation for it by the most tremendous artillery operations the world had ever known. Then came the barrage and the troops started. From that time on until the end, it was everybody for himself. The of ficers knew no more about war than the men and were no more competent to command. The soldiers moved for
 
 times ran into their own barrage. Many were killed in that way,
 There was only one object in view and that was to go forward. All the soldiers had been scared stiff but a new fear come to them-that of letting it be known that they were afraid and then the time came when they were lost to a sense, of fear. That had probably come about through the fear of being afraid. Many of them did things that they would not have done in a sober moment and they wonder now that they did them a. all Hoffman himself captured six Ger mans in q dugout. He approached the entrance and threw a grenade at il and then stepped in. The SIX Germans one of them an officer, all threw LID their hands and he motioned for them to come out. As they came he ierked a watch off of the officer, a battered silver affair with an Nintricatelv wrought chain. He keeps that as a souvenir but he has another souvenir that he prizes more hignly, and that is the receipt of his captain for the six prisoners when he delivered them.
 He took from one of the privates black backed memorandum book in Which there are many entries in Ger man which he has not yet had trans lated. But there are several entries that he can make out and they con stitute the soldiers record of the time he wore his gas mask.
 Hoffman is young; so he has q good expectation of life, but he has no expectation of spending any of the rest of it in war.

ROMANCE OF CHILDHOOD

The little boy who hunts Indians is every little boy in America. Along the alley warpaths of the congested city and out on the rolling prairies of the back pasture the relentless pursuit goes on day after day. Each night millions of little hearts are uplifted in thanksgiving that the red skinned say ages turk about the world to be hunted. An occasional green apple nightmare in which the hunter is scalped and tied to the stake only serves to enhance the thrill of following the trail next afternoon as soon as school is out.
 The eye of the 6-year-old which makes piece of barrel hoop look like a tomahawk is the romantic spirit. The form of this spirit changes with time, but often the spirit of romance per sists beyond the allotted three score

the left hip, it's exit being between the knee and hip of the left leg. and that a third bullet entered the left leg above the knee and travelled up the leg toward the hip
 The county attorney made point Of the fact that the gun which Newman said Hector possessed had not been found.
 Justice Patterson of Glendale. who served as coroner at the inquest held over the body of Hector, was the chief witness for the state at the morning session.
 Officer Testifies
 Constable Rudd, was the next witness called to the stand. Rudd stated that Newman told him that he passed Hoe tor on the road and that he fired at him with his left hand. and that he in turn fired two shots in self defense.
 Did you ever fire on successive oc- casions and then discover that you were not positive in your own mind the number of shots fired?" asked MT. Bull lard. Rudd, who had qualified as an expert, stated after the question had been pointedly put that he knew of one occasion when he thought he had fired only two shots when more had been fired
 What was the occasion 2' was the query put by counsel.
 The state objected and the objection was sustained by the court. Did it involve the taking of a. human life?" asked counsel.
 Yes" was the answer.
 Sheriff Tells His Findinqs Sheriff Montgomery testified New mans statement to him was practically the same as that made to Rudd IS in his meeting with Hector and the incl dents which followed While Mont gomery was on the stand the state 1 called for the top of Hoctor's truck and the side of the seat, which were iden- tified by the officer. The iron braces were taken off the seat in order that part of a bullet and small particles ot 1 lead imbedded in the wood might be extracted. They were introduced as ex- | hibits. Sheriff Montgomery also iden- 1 tified bullet hole in the top. The sheriff testified that one of his deputies l sat in the truck to experiment where l the bullet would have entered had it 1 followed the course indicated by the 1 hole and it would have entered through ! the shoulder, he said
 1 He too stated that Newman told him I he shot in self defense, and that he 1 had had trouble with Hoctor that he l considered ended a year ago. 1 Deputy Sheriff Jih Troutman told of 1 making an extensive search at the 1 scene of the tragedy for Hoctor's gun which the officers failed to find. He l was still on the stand when court ad- l journed at o'clock, when a recess was 1 taken until 9:30 o'clock this morning.

0PEIV TRIAL IF ]. ]. NEWMAN OIV CHARGE
 IF HOCTOR KILLING

Whether or not the statement alleged to have been made by Frank Hoctor 10 J. D. Newman, on trial for his mur- der, will be admitted as evidence was the question that featured the first days trial of the wealthy sheepman who is said to have repeated the state Tnent to J. D. Rudd, constable of Glen dale.
 What did Newman say Hoofor said before he died?" asked County Attor- ney L. M. Laney in direct examination Of the Glendale officer.
 Objection was made by defense coun- sel, George Purdy Bullard. who declared that the statement was not admissible. The jury was excused while counsel argued the matter before the court Judge Stanford stating he would rule on the question at 9:30 o'clock this morning.
 The initial days precedings were given over to the opening statement of the county attorney and taking of testi- Tnony of the officers who interviewed Newman on the last day of January when the shooting took place, and who visited the scene of the tragedy on the desert highway near Hot Springs Juno lion.
 Court Is Crowded
 Thirty-six witnesses were in the courtroom when the case was called They were sworn in and placed under rule and when they left the room it still remained crowded with men and women who are exhibiting an unusual interest in the case. There were many women there with young babies anG they were among the first present after the regular recesses, to procure seats in the front rows that they might moi miss any of the testimony which ofter was low spoken.
 After reading the information to the jury, the state prosecutor outlined what the state expects to show. MT I4aney said that he expected to prove that Newman shot Hoctor with @ rifle when at a distance of from 100 to 15( yards from the latter; that Newman did not see a gun in Hooters posses sion; that bad blood had existed be- tween the two men and that Newman had threatened Hector before the des- ert tragedy.
 Laney stated that he would show that Newman fired several shots. in. stead of the two he claimed, one bulle entering the left shoulder from the real and coming out toward the hand, an other bullet entered from the side O

It isn't exactly common occurrences to lind man standing in a public highway holding a ram by the horns. and the passer-by was interested.
 Will ye please hold on to this beast while climb the fence and open that gate?" asked the man politely. Certainly" replied the stranger. And he did so.
 "Thanks!" said the man from the other side of the fence. "The brute at- tackled me an hour ago and we've been struggling ever since. But so long as ve hold his horns he can't hurt ye. And I Wlsh ye the same luck in getting away as I've had"
