Insane Man Under Siege for Is Days

in Fredeking's right arm and another
Injury in his right shoulder.
Exhaustion and wounds from the
long siege caused Fredeking to sur
render through relatives whom he sum-
moned by telephone. After his wounds
had been dressed he was taken to the
county Jail and preparations were
made for returning him to the state
hospital for the insane at Spencer.
F%redeking's worst wound was ON the
right elbow, the point of which had
been shot away, and this was in such
condition that the physicians who at
tended him feared he might lose the
arm.
City and county officials who sought
to capture the young man were ham
pered by a ruling of the county judge
that TO kill him would bring about a
charge of murder, and state police held
themselves in reserve, but were in
charge when the surrender was made.
At the time he killed the deputy
who sought to take him to the hospital
Fredeking also wounded his father,
and since he ~retrsated into the house
he had wounded two of the men who
attempted to capture him. One of
these, Charles Hoke of White Sulphur
Springs, is in q serious condition, hay-
ing been shot through the lungs after
he succeeded in getting into the house
by advance behind a metal shield.

My Work Among the Young People,

My Work Among the Young People.
My opportunity for working with
the young peoples organizations, has
been so limited, feel that it is
scarcely worthy Of report. In fact
my privileges have not kept pace
with my interest, by any means.
There are almost no clubs, among
the young girls in my territory. In
the spring Of 1921, when was act
ing President of the Fourth District
Louisiana Federation of Women's
Clubs, I presided at our Annual Con-
vention (District) in the city of
Shreveport.
Mrs. Percy Pennybacker, Of Texas,
our past General Federation Presi-
dent whom we all love and esteem so
highly, was an honor guest at a
beautiful luncheon, given by the Civ
ic Department Of the Woman's De-
partment Club of Shreveport, at
which the officers Of our District, and
our dearly beloved state President,
Mrs. A. F. Storm, were also honor
guests (as well as the Department
Chairmen Of the Hostess Club)
Many very beautiful and timely
toasts and speeches we're in order,
but l was especially impressed with
an account given by Mrs. Penny

which some prominent gentlemen ad-
dressed the women. In the course OF
his remarks, he said that he was very

to the Veterans in the cause, but why
not train their daughters, and grand
daughters to take up the work after
them?
That idea, so uniquely expressed by
the speaker, added an inspiration to
an already burning interest which l
felt in Club Extension in my Dis
trict. There was one young ladies'
club in my parish that had done such
fine work, that was especially anx-
ious to capture for Federation. The
President was a young lady of fine
mental caliber, very patriotic, and
during the time th,.t l was Chair
man of my Parish for the Woman's
Committee of the Council Of De-
fense, she had always responded to
every call l made upon her, at that
precinct, in every phase of the work.
So when l asked that her club be-
come affiliated with the State Fed
Grafton she was delighted, and wrote
me such an enthusiastic letter, that
it would delight the heart Of any
District President. She was princi
pal of a large high school, and other
wise a very busy young woman, but
did a great many wonderful things
for her community. She has been a
fine leader, but their club has not
been so active recently on account Of
her broken health.
Another club Of young girls in my
own town was very active and showed
