Preacher Shoots Son To
Keep Him From Using Auto
Ke . Homy \1 Medicine Lodge iFlrei
(Jan. Had Been Forbidden Family
Tar but Pernlnti* and Triet to Kn-
force Stand With eWspon,
'Medicine Lodge, Kansas., Fob. 25.—
Rev. Charles A. Murray, pastor of the
Christian Church here, allot his ton,
Herman, 21 years old, with a shotgun
this morning about 8 o'clock, to pre-
vent -bis using the family motor car.
The charge from the gun struck thf
young man in the lower Jaw and
shoulder and made a dangerous but
not necessarily fatal wound. The
victim is in a hospital at Kiowa.
Herman has suffered from epilepsy
for soime years and has been comtlned
in sanitariums on two occasions, the
last time toeing discharged as much
improved about a year and a ihalf
ago. He ha<i a desire to use the auto-
mobile but his parents forbade him be-
cause of his condition.
At breakfast this morning, Herman
announced that he would take an out-
ing so soon a he had finished his meal.
His father demurred. Getting an ax,
the young man returned to the din-
ing room and compelled the family to
do a marathon round thehouse for ihalf
an hour, the parents and other child-
ren being in the running.
Whan all 'handa had been able to
keep clear of the weapon, and llerma^
had about exhausted himself, he wenl
to the car, then standing in front and
got in. He was accompanied by the
ax.
Reverend Murray, who Is Just under
fifty years of age, went, to the son
and tried to reason with him. The
son wouldn't listen, but declared
strong for Joy ride. "When his father
perslted in arguing with him,, Her-
man climbed from the maclHlno' ax in
'hand and started for Ills pater. The
latter dodged successfully some time
and then, turning into the house, gath-
ered up tiie family shot gun and let
go. He intended to shoot the "boy in
the shoulder and drop the ax from his
hand, hut Herman ducked his head
forward just at that moment and the
charge hit him in the Jaw and shoul-
der.
The blow did not fell the young man
and he kept after his father. Neigh-
bors, w ho had ibeen attracted by the
fracus, ran to the Murray house,
among them being Doctor Gilbert.
Reverend Murray and Doctor Gilbert
qualified as subduers of Herman but he
proved to0 much for them and after
knocking the doctor down with a blow
from his flst, threw 'his father off and
ran into the house bleeding freely. He
eventually was overcome and taken to
Kiowa in an automobile.
Reverend Murray has been here
three years and the community sides
with him in his trouble. He is weal-
thy, having several farms in Okla-
homa. He 1b well known throughout
this state and Oklahoma having filled
pulpits in a number of towns. He Is
much out up by his morning's experi-
ence but is glad that the boy's wound
will not prove fatal.
SCIATICA'S IMKKC1M* PAIN.
To kill the nerve pains of Sciatica
you can always depend on Sloan's Lin-
iment. It penetrates Jo the seat of
pain and brings ease as soon as ap-
plied. A great comfort too with
Sloan's is that no ruibbiug is required.
•Sloan's Liniment is invaluable for
stopping muscular or nerve pain of
any kind. Try it at once if you suf-
fer with Rhumatism, Lumbago, Sore
Throat, Pain in Chest, Sprains. Hruis-
es. etc. it is excellent for Neuralgia
and Headache. 25c at all Druggists.

Wichita Woman Is Waylaid
Came to Bartlesville to Identify Sus-
pects Connected With Murder of
Wichita Business Man.
EPARED
Bartlesville, Okla., Feb. 26.—Mrs.
Tillie Williams of Wichita, Kan., who
came to Bartlesville last October to
Identify Paul Fletcher and James Dur-
kin as the two man who threatened
her life if she did not leave Wichita a
fow days following the murder of
William iSutton, an aged merchant of
that city, was assulted with a cluib
there Monday night and may die from
her wounds. This is the information
received here by the police who have
been asked to be on the watch for
Harry Weaver, arrested there October
2K. last, -with Fletcher and Durkln, on
advices from the Wichita police.
Fletcher and (Durkln were arrested
by Police Chief Allen last October in
connection with the murder of the
Wrichlta merchant,
had been there at the time the crime
was committed. Mrs. Williams came
to Bartlesville and identified both men
as the parties whom he had aeon
running past her place, the night of
the murder, and ulso how a few nights
later entered her room unexpectedly
aud, placing a revolver to her head,
ordered her to leave Wichita at once
under a threa of death.
Durkln agreed to return to Wichita
for trial without extradition, but
Fletcher refused. He was later giveu
a hearing ibefore Governor Williams
wh0 honored a requisition from the
Kansas governor. Deputy Sheriff
Stevens, who took Fletcher back to
Kansas, was poisoned in Coffeyvllle by
some one he believed in league with
Fletcher, and who boarded a train
here when he left with the prisoner.
Durkjn and Fletcher are in Jail
now in Wichita awaiting trial on the
charge of threatening the life of Mrs.
Williams. It is now believed that her
aHtsuilant is a confederate of the two
men and the police are convinced that
Weaver is the guilty party.
Mrs. Williams is the wife of
a dairyman, is also the preacher of a
spiritualist church in Wichita. On re-
turning from meeting she entered
her kitchen door and was struck down
by a masked man who mude his es-
cape. She was struck over the head
and is suffering from concussion of
the brain, but has been rational
enough at times to tell her story of
the assult
At one of her meetings following the
murder, Mrs. Williams claims she
called up the spirit of the murdered
merchant; that she went into a trance
and the spirit gave her a mental pic-
ture of the men who killed him. This
description answered that of Fletcher
and Duskin, she told the otfl
STILL SMALL VOICE.
John Burroughs In Atlantic Monthly.
What a noise politics makes 1n the
world, our politics especially but some
silent thinker in hla tudy, or ome in-
ventor in his labratory, is starting cur-
rents that will make or unmake poli-
tics for generations to come. How
noiseless is the light, yet what power
dwells in the sunbeams—mechanical
power at one end of the spectrum, in
the red and infra-red rays, and cheml-
ical power at the other or violet and
ul-tra-violet end! It is the mechan-
ical forces—the winds, the rains, the
movements of ponderable bodieea—
bodies—that fill the world with noise;
the chemical changes that disintegrate
the rocks and set the currents of life
going are silent. The great loom in
which are woven all the living tex-
tures that clothe the world with verd-
ure and people it with animated forms
makes no sound. Think of the still
small voice of radio-activity—so still
"Sissy" would <be tied to a post and
given a whipping with a cat-o-nlne-
tails. So the boys and girls now re-
fer to William Jennings Bryan Wise
as Mr. Wise.
Mrs. Wise has carefully preserved
her son's hair, which he wore in a
knot under his hat. It was silky, and
much admired by women.
A WOMAN WHO W ANTS IDEAS TO
RULE.
Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 3., Dear Editor:
Our state constitution needs amend-
ing. It has been modelled largely aft
ter the old Virginia constitution that
caused so much trouble for the peo-
ple in Colonial days iby putting all the
power in the hands of the governor,
then hind the legislature to obey
him. It was King James of Tng-
land who first suggested that plan,
the divine rights of man, under
the guise of religious democracy, call-
ed religious liberty, with an absentee
God or a Judge in England, who loved
money. The divine rights of a King.
"Taxation without representation is
tyrany." While the Northern States
were largely settled by the Dutch vfho
entertained different views. Then when
chief justice Terray decided that
the states could secede, contrary to
federal law, tQ destroy the Union, the
North and Soutti got mad and shot
and killed one another like rabbits In
the name of the most high God, from
whom all blessings flow, called the
wrath of God upon account of their
sins.
Beware of fake democracy the one
man power—the man of prayer
who preach peace and are pereparing
for war at the same time. That's been
the history of the world, when men
have asked 'for better conditions for
themselves and families, and to dee-
troy the spirit of grogression for they
have no regard for law, sense, or
reason. No class of men are more fa-
miliar with this religious democracy
than the preachers and the lawyers.
Saint Paul was one of "the greatest
lawyers of ancient times. Then when
he conceived the idea of keeping
women and negroes under bondage for
the ruling class, he swallowed the
whole Catholic doctrine, the Jewish
polygamy, the whisky and all, and
taught the women that the bible had
been written with the finger of God.

their injustice at the doors of the

Following the semi-annual examina-
tions little iMiss Alice Kathryn Fitz-
patrick, and Masters Hardee Cham-
bliss Mark Neumann and Frank Inda
were promoted to third grade. These
little people are very proud of th-eir
new readers.
Miss Li la Selstrom's examinations
in arithmetic (eighth grade), received
a grade of 100 per cent, as the paper
was absolutely perfect.
In the early part of the month, the
High iSchool pupils visited the Guthrie
Flour mill. Owing to the kindness of
Mr. Greaham and of Mr. Bymer the
visit proved very interesting and high-
ly Instructive, as well as delightful.
The Domestic Science Class dis-
played great enthusiasm during the
lesson in candying orange peel, and
fruits in general. Their experiment
seemed to be quite successful, and we
noticed not one of the class was ab-
sent from school next day.
The Washington-Day program was
credltaibly rendered by the pupils of
the grades. The "Yankee Doodle'
parody by the little ones, was espec-
ially well done.
The class in Physics have resumed
their laboratory work at St. Joseph
Academy. These Friday afternoon
drives are looked forward to each
k, with pleasure. Last week the
School pupils attended an ex-
1 lent Mil sic ale at the Academy. Ar

With a shortage of ships to move
our cotton to foreign shores; with no
indication of the end of the war; with
the Nation stirred over preparedness
for eventualities; with the buying
power of the entire world gradually
lessening day by day, it becomes our
duty to issue this formal warning as
the time of planting cotton is at hand.
Let everyone encourage the far-
mer to be on the safe side iby raising
plenty of feed and food for the com-
munity as well as for himself, his
family an<j his live stock. (A calf, a
pig, chicken, and a garden often mean
the difference between want and mon-
ey ahead.) Economical and safe liv-
ing for all as well as "safe fanning"
must be the rule If prosperity is to
abide with us.
Six-cent cotton this fall would spell
disaster in the cotton States. Low
, price follows over-supply as certainly
as the night the day. High prlcce and
i prosperity over the South this year
prove what voluntary reduction of cot-
ton acreage does. Any marked Increase
i In acreage does. Any marked increase
in acreage over last year is going to
result in a great loss to Southern cot-
ton -producers, merchants, and bank-
ers, and will similarly affect all allied
busines and professions.
