JUROR TELLS WHY
Rf|NfCkfR WAS FINED
FOR SHOOTING
GAVE NO WARNING BEFORE
FIRING ON BOY. AND THAT HE
WENT TOO FAR IN DEFENSE
OF HIS PROPERTY.

World, Sept 1.-The reason the
jurors in the Arnold Reineker-Clifton
Alderman assault case decided to
fine Reineker SIS and costs. was that
he gave no warning before firing, ac-
cording to one of the jurors. The jury
felt that the five boys who were steal
ing watermelons in the Reineker
patch on Okanogan avenue on the
night of August 23rd were doing
wrong and deserved punishment. but
that Reineker went too far. Reineker
waited for the boys, and without
warning fired once upon Clifton
Alderman. hitting him in the leg and
hand. Then, after saying stop"
without result. he fired again. hitting
Clifton full in the back The jury
thought Reineker could have preserv-
ed his property without inficting
bodily injury upon the thieves. As it
is, they imposed the minimum fine
for assault, on the ground that the
thieves are not to be encouraged.
The fine, with costs, amounts to
$47.50.
The law applying to the case is
this: A man has a right to use suf-
fiicient force to protect his property
from being destroyed or carried
away. 1t is for jury to determine
whether more force than necessary
has been used.
The jurors were: o. F.. Anderson.
of the Morris Hardware company; c.
NJ Deniston, real estate man with Of
fees in the Griggs Block; Benjamin
Marshack, of the Marshack Clothing
company; H. B. Hadley, of the Owl
Drug Store; S. Holcomb, rancher. 215

KUMTUX CLUB ENTERTAINS
FOR MRS. A. G.. McKEOWN

The kumtux ladies gave a hand

Tuesday afternoon at the home of

and in this way try to show the deep
regret the club members feel at the
departure from their circle of one
who has been so closely allied with
them in both work and social duties
for so long.
The afternoon was spent in social
intercourse and those who wished,
played cards, and at the conclusion
of a pleasant afternoon fine lunch
was served, contributed by the mem
bers.
Mrs. McKeown was delighted a
well as grieved at the presentation
of her gifts; delighted for the thought
of the friends who presented each
dainty token and grieved at the
prospect of leaving them all. The
club will indeed feel the loss and try.
though hard it will be, to bridge the
gap which her going away will make
in its ranks.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
REDUCE AGE LIMIT TO IS.

In conformity with its general pro-
gram and policy of expansion by
which it is proposed to carry the prin-
ciples of the order into new fields of
Fythian endeavor, theknights of Py-
thias at the recent biennial conven-
tlon Of its Supreme Lodge at Mime
apolis adopted an amendment to its
organic law reducing the minimum
age limit of membership to Is years,
the effect of which will be to open the
door of fraternal hope to thousands
of youths in the land whose hearts
have felt the touch of human sympa-
thy and who long to enlist under the
banner of brotherhood achievement.
Since the order was founded, men,
bership has been restricted to white
male persons not less than 21 years
of age and under so. except that per-
sons over 30 might be accepted as
members by dispensations. But out
of the great World War many lessons
came of a nature calculated to change
the old order of things, not the least
of which was the idea born of the
tremendous struggle and was partici-
pated in by the best blood of the ma
tons young manhood that youths Of
IS, 10 and 20 years of age are fully
capable of meeting esponsibilities
and discharging life's obligations
with a fidelity equal to those of few
years their senior The alacrity with
which the younger boys of the nation
sprang to arms at the call of country
in defense of its honor and for the
preservation of its institutions af-
fords incontrovertible proof that one
does not necessarily have to be of le-
gal age in order to be of real service
in times of stress and need.
Inspired by thoughts of service per-
formed and sacrifices made by the
boys of the land and being deeply SEN
Sible to the conviction that if boy
of IS years is man enough, strong
enough and patriotic enough to serve
his country in time of war, he is COM
petent physically, mentally and tenn
peramentally to participate in the
settlement of the problems of peace
that come to US as a heritage of the
war in which he fought.
The Knights of Pythias in common
with other fraternal organizations
are not unmindful of the obligations
the duties of the hour impose. It
proposes to perform its full share in
the great work of reconstruction and
rehabilitation, that civilization may
speedily recover from the shock 20
which it was subjected and that the
blessings of peace, softened by SEN
timents of fraternal love may find
permanent abiding place in the hearts
of men, And in this magnificent en-
deavor it has invited boys and men
of Is years and over to enlist under
the tricolored banner of Pythian
Knighthood in the movement design
ed to Danish discomfort and discord
and make the world brighter and hap
pier.
The Leayenworth Knights of Py-
thias are now finishing up class Of
nine new members and with a low
ering of the age limit there is likely
20 be great influx of applicants.
