SHOOTING GALLERY OWNER TOO GOOD
Held Up With Own Rifle He Shoots Stick=Up Man
 Dead With Pistol

St. Joseph, Mo-, March 15. -- (UP) - All the other patrons of Hob Bennett's shooting gallery ran out to watch a fire block away, last night but Leonard Beleal, "A, stayed behind.
 Beleal casually asked for a target rifle and said he guessed he'd try his luck. He took the weapon passed to him, turnd it on the 37-year-old proprietor and said, Sorry, it's a holdup."
 Bennett let the robber take the money. But as Beleal started for the door, the proprietor picked up a pistol and ordered the robber to drop his gun. Beleal replied with several shots. one of which struck Bennett in the shoulder.
 Then Bennett, made expert by long practice in his own gallery, snapped two quick shots that killed the robber.
 Beleal was identified today as a former inmate of the Minnesota State Prison at Saltwater.

STATE COMES TO
 DANBURY'S AID
$500 Check for State Charges Care to Be
 Sent to City

Danbury, Conn, March 15.-(UP) The state today came to the aid of Danbury in it's relief extremity
 First Selectman M. F. Schlitter said he expected, within day or SO, a payment of $500 from the state welfare department as reimburse ment to the city for the care it gave state charges during the last quar- ter of 1897.
 "This should straighten out our difficulties" he said.
 These difficulties were: CD The city had no money for relief be- cause a town meeting turned down a special tax. CD All WPA pro- jects were stopped. (3) Distribu- ton of foodstuffs to the poor was halted.
 The Danbury Gas & Electric Light Co.,, announced it would pro- vide free gas and electricity this week to families on relief.
 The crisis was precipitated last Thursday when a town meeting re- fused to approve special tax which would have provided $66.500 for relief.

review the book, still l wonder in
the short space allotted me should
I pass any opinion. DR. Rutledge
has in beautiful phraseology de-
scribed many of the lovable plan
tation characters who have vastly
contributed to American history
and culture. He has shown their
true character, as God-fearing
Christian men and women. Also he
has depicted their courage in the
face of great dangers, and their
loyalty to friends. The book is
dedicated to Sue Aston, one of the
retainers at his South Carolina
plantation, and in a poem which
she is likened unto a Black Angel,
he says
But Sue loved that life forlorn.
My heart questioned why she
should;
My eyes asked her how she could;
Her eyes answered, Jesus would"

commended to all for its analysis
of the spiritual God-fearing people
that the modern American Negro
sprang from. The impression left
with the reader is that the Negro
is a loveable childlike member of
the human family, not understood
thoroughly except by real South
