COMMITTEE TO
STATE ASYLUM
Frederick MateIich Sent to
Michigan City by
Judge Collins.

Frederick Matelich, So, of 1884,
w. Tenth ST., was committed to
the State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane at Michigan City today by
Criminal Judge James A. Collins.
He had been charged with first
degree murder in the Staying of
James Louis Bernhardt, 20, who had
attempted to aid the old man in
crossing the street. Matelich at
that time suffered from the delusion
that Bernhardt had been en-
anoured of his aged wife.
The young man had never seen
the woman nor Materlich until he
left the side Of a girl with whom he
was walking to assist him through
the traffic, when he appeared feeble
and unable to care for himself. The
old man pulled a gun and fired
when they reached the opposite side
Of the street.
DrS. L. D. Carter and Fletcher
Hodges, appointed by the court upon
motion of defense attorneys to ex-

fled today that he was insane. They
attributed his decisions to hardening

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Her-

Iowa, has had more thrills in his
fifty-three years of life than is con-

a woman Quaker preacher and a

partner in an engineering firm,
which met reverses through private
speculation of one member. Hoover
undertook to repay the debts. and it

Not Quite Plain Enough

A fellow-scribbler tells us that one recent evening, while waiting for a car somewhere in the wilds of Beach view. nanny who looked as though she had just stepped off the side of a buckwheat flour box came up to him and inqlired:
 "Pa'don me, sah-but does you all have da time?'
 "Why. yes" he replied, and extract ed his gold ticker from his hip-that is, his vest pocket-he held up the face of the watch, which indicated that it was a quarter of nine.
 For moment she studied the watch in silence and he said nothing. But as he was about to return the chro nOmeter to his pocket, she observed:

Worker Meant We'll,
 but He Spoiled ShoLO

When the women of a Glendale church prepared for their annual dra- matics a miniature log cabin was one of the stage properties necessary, says the Los Angeles Times. An influential member obtained the loan of load of rough slabs with which to build the cabin, and they were delivered and placed in neat pile just outside the church.
 Husbands and men friends had agreed to gather prior to the eresen- tation to construct the scenery. When the first of the group arrived he was astonished to hear a power saw in ac- tion. and after greetings were ex- changed the volunteer worker ex- plained:
 'I was passing and saw this pile of wood and being a church man my self, I thought 1t would help the church out if I sawed 1t up with my power outfit"

Prize Hunting Story
 Offered for Record

The worlds record for tall stories is held by the rangers of our national parks, according to the authors of the book about the parks, "Oh, Ranger !" Their prize creation as quoted in "Oh. Ranger p is as follows:
 "A ranger doing patrol duty on the boundary line, having run out of SUD- plies and being in immediate danger of starving, grabbed his trusty old gun for which only one shell re mained, and, going beyond the park line, maneuvered around carefully, hunting diligently so as to be sure to get the best results with the one shot. Finally he came upon brace of quail perehed in a cluster of brush close enough together for both to be bagged at one shot. Carefully raising the gun, he fired. Imagine his great joy when on running to the spot to pick up his quail he found that he had killed six more, which were on the other side of the bush and which he had not seen. Hearing a great com motion out in a small lake near by, he saw big buck deer that had be- come frightened at the sound of his shot and had run into the lake and begged down in the mud. Dropping the quail, he hurried out into the lake and cut the bucks throat. In carry ing the deer out, he sank down into the mud himself up over his boot tops. " .l.f II. T. and pulled the boots off to pour out the water and found in them a dozen nice fish. Placing the quail, fish and deer together so that they could be more easily carried, he was struggling to get the load on his shoulders. This put a great strain on his suspender buttons, and one of these flew off with such force that it killed a rabbit a hundred yards in the rear."

Each individual is but a part of large number of per- sons making up a community, each and all having common interests in. common duties and common respon- abilities for the many human prob lems the community has to solve and care for all of the time.
 "Then the person who attempts to live in community, getting cut of i: what he can and contributing noth- ing to it, is a parasite. Such person is selfish and selfishness is the Moth CT of failure.
 ''Unselfishness, giving time and money to community problems, brings rich reward in self-happines5 and self-growth.

In commenting on the foregoing article Stroller's Weekly says {:
 "The finding of moose antlers locked as above described is not so unusual as the Seward paper claims. Judge Wickersham of Juneau is the possessor of a splendid pair of locked moose horns and several others have been found in the Yukon. For years in Tom Chisholm's Aurora saloon in Dawson were exhibitd a gigantic pair of moose horns which were found on Ophir creek just off Bo- nanza. They were white with age though perfectly preserved. It is said that while moose are alive their horns give slightly when great pres sure is put upon them and in a fight of two powerful bulls the horns spring sufficiently to lock and the combatants are thus hopelessly fast ened, the one to the other, and final ly starve and die face to face, unable to get apart or to continue their fighting"

LOCKED MOOSE HORNS TELL
 OF A FIGHT TO THE FINISH
Forest Monarohs Unable to Separate Locked Horns Die and Their
 Fight Is Draw

Another tragedy of the wilds with it's narrowing thoughts of animal suffering has been brought to light by the finding of locked antlers of two giant moose who struggled for supremacy on the moose flats in the vicinity of Tustumena Lake along the Kusilof river.
 The horns were discovered by Lee Considine of the Alaska Guides Inc, who found them on a recent hunting trip and shipped them into Seward where they now are. It Is possible that they will be sent outside to some nationally known hunting club when special dispensation is granted by the Game Commission.
 The antlers are in perfect state of preservation, and are almost of rec ord size, as firmly locked together as if they had been welded. It is judged that the two moose battled not more than a year ago as the horns show no signs of weathering. To the lover of the wilds it is easy to picture a titanic battle when the two giant beasts crashed together on the run, clashing in the fury of con- quest for their lady love, only to stand helpless in slavering hate till they dropped of starvation and weak ness while the wolves stood by in hungry anticipation. Guides say that locked moose horns are rare. since the prongs do not readily yield to the fatal embrace as do those of deer Oldtimers can recall but two or three instances of such a find in Alaska.-Seward Gateway.
