morning, Cornelius Shepherd, another
negro, stepped into the grimmer
shadow to answer a charge of shoot
ing Henry Walker, also a fellow negro,
at " the Brownstone quarries near
Hummelstown.
And the trial of Elwood Wilson,
battling for his life for the shooting
of Patrolman Lewis C. Hippie, was
interrupted to permit the selection of
the jury to try Shepherd.

fellow-countrymen, and John O.
Chrlstley, who must answer for the

remain to be tried before the close
of Dauphin county's "red week," of
special criminal sessions.
Jackson who had been on trial since
yesterday noon for shooting Brown
during a running'"gun fight" in Steel
ton, changed his plea to "guilty of
murder in the second degree" short
ly before noon.
18 to 20 Years
Additional Law Judge S. J. M. Mc-
Carrell sentenced him to serve from
eighteen years and a half to twenty
years in the eastern penitentiary.

jail that "he was shuah mighty happy
dat he only was gittln' eighteen and
a half ya'hs!"
By the noon adjournment of court

Just Apply This Paste
and the Hairs Vanish
(Helps to Beauty)
A safe reliable home-treatment for
the quick removal of superfluous
hairs from your face or neck is as
follows: Mix a stiff paste with some
water and powdered delatone, apply
to objectionable hairs and after 2 or
3 minutes rub off, wash the skin and
the hairs are gone. This simple
treatment is unfailing and no pain or
inconvenience attends its use, but to
avoid disappointment be certain you
get genuine delatone.
