EDWARD BAUER
IS FATALLY shot

sad accident occurred last Sunday
afternoon about four colock at the
Tukey shoot when Edward Bauer,
eleven wears, was accidentally shot
and killed.
There had been quite bit OF shoot
ing during the afternoon and its seems
that little Edward and a playmate had
grown cold and sat down behind a
box to be protected from the WIND
Only the top of his cap showing above
the box.
A turkey and a goose had been put
in two different boxes and the con-
testants were trying their skill when
gun in the hands of Geo Wrench
was accidentally discharged, the bull
let entering the right side OF Edward
neck, passing entiely through and
coming out of the left side, killing
rim instantly.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon and the classmates of the boy
were excused from school to permit
them to pay their last respects to
one who had always been popular
among them.
a coroners jury consisting of w. l..
Wood, Foreman, Walter Williams, W.
w Ward, Harold Proctor, Robert P.
Kelley, Jr., and J. P. Williams re-
turned the following vedict: "That Ed
ward Bauer came % his death on De-
cember 18th, 1922 at Winslow Arizona
by a bullet wound, bullet entering the
right side of neck, passing entirely
through and coming out on the left
side, that said bullet was from a gun
in the hands of George Wrench, and
that said shooting was accidental"
It is a heavy shock to the bereaved
parents and especially so at this par
ticular time of year and probably no
less a sufferer the man whose un-
fortunate shot ended the little boys
life.

NOBLE INSTITUTE
AWARDS PRIZES

The reasons for it's choice of prize
winners in this years awards of 5000,
100000 have been announced by the
Nobel Institute. This Swedish in
st uttion awards annual prizes of $40,-
900, each for notable achievement in
the fields of physics, chemistry, medi-
cine, literature, and in the cause Of
peace Sometimes the list of names
selected is more or less surprising to
the public at large, but in general the
wisdom and insight of the judges is
endorsed.
The award in literature, which
seems to arouse more popular in
terest than any other, poes this pear,
not to Thomas Hardy, as had been
hoped by his Swedish friends, but to
the Spanish playwright Jacinto Ben
avente who, though little known out
side his own country, is said to have
done more than any other dramat1st
to modernize, and being fresh stimulus
to the Spanish theater. He has writ
ten about 80 plays during the last 30
years. His comedies of social satire
are directed at contemporary life IN
Spain, and he is not unlike Bernard
Shaw in his ability to hold up the mir
ror to human nature. He is original
in point of view, and refined in style.
Professor Albert Einstein, of Ger
many, received the 1921 prize in ply
sizes, not for his famous theories of
relatively, but for his discovery and
elucidation of law regarding elect
rons and the phOto-electric effect OF
atoms. "This law" said a prominent
Swedish scientists, sis the bridge
which leads from theories concern
ing atomatic structure to facts which
can be experimentally verified"
The physics prize for 1922 goes to
Niels Bohr of Denmark, who is only
81 years of age and the youngest per-
son who has ever received Nobel
prize. for his discovery of methods
by which the inner structure of atoms
may be studied He has, in fact, been
able to construct atoms artificcally
which correspond in substance and
spectrum analysis to the natural part
icleS. Professor Bohr is of the opinion
that every sc ientific advance, even
those which for a time may seen
only academic and fruitless, will some
day have a direct practical value to
humanity.
No announcement of awards of this
years prizes for medicine and peace
have been made. 1t will be rem
embred that Americans have already
captured three prizes. Theodore
Roosevelt, Elihu Root, and Woodrow
Wilson were the winners in 1906, 1912,
and 1919 respectively.
The Nobel Institute was established
by the will of Alfred Nobel, Swedish
scientist, best known for his inevntion
of dynamite, who beQueathed his en-
tire fortune of 30,000,000 kronor.
about $S,OOO,OOO.OO for this purpose.
The first annual prizes were distri-
buted in 1901.
