Deputy Sheriff Is
Killed by Men Said
To Be in Bandit Gang

Smith Center, Kan, Sept. ~
Especial Telegram.)-S. H. Munger,
druggist at Athol, seven miles west
Of here, was murdered in cold blood
on well-traveled road by two
strange men in an auto. The two
came through Athol and motioned
Munger, who is deputy sheriff, to
follow, which he did.
The pair led him one mile east
of Athol, where they stopped their
car, and as Munger came alongside
one of the men shot him through
the body with revolver. He sprang
from his car, ran a short distance
and fell dead. His murderers then
hastily transferred their effects from
the car they were driving into that
of the dead man and left the spot
at terrific speed. They have not
been apprehended.
Henry Bose, who was working in a
field not far from the murder scene,
heard the shot and seeing Munger
fall, went to him, but found him
dead. The car that the murderers
abandoned was a Dodge, bearing
Kansas license tag No. 24,7o9. In
the bottom of it and along the
ground by it's side were scattered
nickels and dimes to the amount of
about S..
The murdered man, since his store
was robbed several weeks ago, has
been very active and persistent in
tracing the thieves, and it is be-
lieved by many that he was killed
in revenge by members of the gang
in this part of Kansas that has been
stealing autos and robbing stores
for many weeks. He was a man
of about 80 years of age, and leaves
a wife and adopted child.

WAR PRESAGED
BETWEEN ITALY.
AND JUGO-SLAVS.
Conflict Will Begin Before
Next March According to
Prediction Made.

New York, Sept. 27.-There will
be war between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia before next March, according
to prediction made by Prince
Lazarovitch- Hrebelianovitch. The
prince, who is a journalist of wide
reputation and one of the leaders in
America of the Jugo-Slavs, declared
that the Fiume and Dalmatian con-
troversies will be responsible for
starting a clash between the coun-
tries named.
Greece, he predicted, will throw
her support to his country in the
event of such a conflict. Further,
he declared that a woman, the
Duchess d'Aosta, is chiefly respon-
sible for the critical situation, her
ambition to wear crown being at
the bottom Of the matter.
Italy's present ruler will either
abdicate or be deposed, and the
Duke d'Aosta Will ascend the Ital-
ian throne shortly before the clash
with Jugo Slavia, the prince pre-
dicted, adding that the duke and
certain persons close to the vatican
are directly supporting Gabrielle
d'Annunzio in his seizure of Fiume
and his attempt to secure control of
Jugo-S!av territory. The entire
Levant has excited the cupidity of
certain Italian fnanciers, who are
keen to secure financial and eco
non,ic control the Drince declared.
The Jugo-Slav republican alliance,
which meets in convention Sunday
at Cleveland, will send a delegation
to the home country, of which dele
CATION he expects to be member,
the prince said, with a million dollar
fund collected in America to aid the
Jugo-S1avs in working for a repub-
lican government and resisting
Italy.

Europe with considerable money, while
many officers are reaching their homes
practically penniless, according to
provincial officials.
Most of the soldiers had apprexi-

left England, only portion of the
amount being given to them before
enbarkation. The privates spent most
of their leisure at recreation camps
where little money is needed.
Officers, on the other hand, followed
their inclination to Give" and with
British and American officers helped
fill the London hotels, according to re-
turned officers. They say that frater-

rather costly as Americans received
higher pay and spent it freely.
"Thcusands of Canadian privates
will return with far more money thar
they possessed when they enlisted,
