DR.. Sldftery Asks Colonial
Danes to Soue 1t.

The Rev. DR.. Charles L. Slattery yes
terday urged the Colonial Danes OF
the State of New York to take the
leadership in an immediate campaign of
reform and attack against what he
termed the reveIry and madness of loose
conduct prevailing in America. In n
sermon delivered at patriotic services
held in Grace Church under the auspices
of the Colonial Danes he declared that
the character Of America is being
viciously eaten out, and that unless
sanity returns puritanism will en-
throne itself in New York and other
cities equal In sternness to that which
Calvin brought to Geneva, Knox TO
Edinburgh and the Puritans to New
England.
You will not like it," he said You
will resent it. But If the leaders go OH
with their Indifference there will be be-
tween us and destruction only some
such blue puritanism. and II we love our
country we shall have to take our places
with the Puritans
Let us recognize that God will not
permit nation to have women do

WILLARD BAILEY SHOT
AT BEAVER DAM; DIES

Willard Bailey, aged Is, was shot
through the head by an unknown
party or parties. at Beaver Dam, last
Saturday morning, shortly after 2
O'Clock, 1t is thought as he was MAX
ing his escape from the Beaver Dam
Drug Co.'S store, thru window
which he had broken out He was
discovered lying on the sidewalk by
parties aroused by the shooting, of
which there were some four or five
ehots, so II is stated Young Bailey
was conveyed to the home of his
father. Granville Bailey, near Horse
Branch, where's he died during the
afternoon following his wounding.
The identity of the party who did
the shooting is as yet unknown. Only
one of two theories is perhaps, cor
rect, that is that somebody on watch
for thieves did it. or that an alterca-
tion between the slain man and
arose and he received the
fatal wound as a result. Whichever
II may have been may never be known
by the public. One or two other
houses in Beaver Dam were broken
into on the night of the shooting and
at least one during the night pre-
vious. In fact, thefts of the charac-
ter of which the Bailey boy is charg-
ed, have become so numerous that
public sentiment would not support
a prosecution. or even a very extern
sive investigation wherein culprit,
a knight of the small hours, broken
windows and smashed locks meets
With violent end. AS 1t is general
y conceded that one of these marau-
iers would not hesitate to take life
% accomplish their purpose or to
make their escape. .

double quick order.
BY continual bombardment of
blows over the Frenchmans tOdy,
Dempsey paved the way for the
knockout blow in the final round.
The first round was decidedly Demp-
sey's round. In the second Dempsey
layed off and let the Frenchman
hammer at him at will. Carpenter
succeeded in landing on Dempsey in
this round the blow that knocked Joe
Beckett out in London last fall, but
it did nothing more than stagger the
champion. Dempsey said after the
fight that he did not even remember
being struck
In the third round Dempsey went
after the Frenchman to get him, and
nut lor the gong would nave had MIN.
He had him groggy and against the
ropes. From the start of the fourth
Dempsey rushed Carpenter off his
feet. Continual blows over the
Frenchman's body so Weakened him
that a left on the chin floored him
and he took the count for nine. He |
struggled to his feet, game but worn
TO fragile. The champion landed a /,

with a smashing right on the chin
which laid the Frenchman on his
back, from which position the fatal
