    Unfortunate Shot of Son
Causes Wagaman's Death
Gettysburg, Pa., Dec. 17. —The
hunting accident in the mountains j
above Cashtown on the opening day
of the deer season when Alphonsus
L. Wagaman, of Square Corner, was
shot in the leg by his son, has proved
fatal, lockjaw developing from the
wound. Wagaman and his son
were members of an independent
' party who went to the mountains to
try their luck in the hunt for deer.
Early in the morning of the opening
day they shot a deer, but did not
hurt it sufficiently to stop it in its
light. Believing that the animal had
entered some brush not far away
the party stationed themselves at
different places in the vicinity and
young Wagam&n started out to
round the animal up. While he
was gone the father moved away
from his position and went into the 1
s brush. Not knowing the man had
"Vnoved and seeing the stir in the
brush the son thought it was the
deer and tired, the ball going
through his father's right leg Just
below the knee. He was hurried
home where he was tenderly cared
for and was getting along nicly un
til last Thursday, when tetanus de
veloped and he rapidly grew worse,
lingering for only a few days. He
was fifty years old'and is survived
by his wife and three sons:.

MAN ACCUSED OF
' MURDER INSISTS
"SHELDON"SLEW
I
! Michigan Insurance Man Still
| Clings to Story Other Man
. Used His Name
• By Associated Press
Muskegon, Mich., Dec. 17. —Three
, mysterious figures injected info the
[ case of Milo H. Piper, insurance man
. accused of having killed Miss Frieda
Weichman, Chicago bookkeeper,
were being sought by the local po
-1 lice to-day. According to Piper, who
' was brought here from Hamilton,
, I Ontario, to face the murder charge,
any of these three persons, whom he
named as "Jack Goldberg," "John
Sheldon," and 'Edward Benton," can
substantiate his story that Sheldon
used the name of "M. H. Piper" in
marrying Miss Weichman at Kensse
laer, Ind., in March, 1916.
According to Prosecuting Attorney
Broek, Piper yesterday told him that
several months after Miss Welch
man's marriage to "Sheldon" the
latter gave her to him to live with
as his wife. Piper and Miss Weich
' man, he added, traveled about in an
automobile for some time, registered
in various cities as man and wife.
"Benton," Piper said, accompanied
them. He insisted, however, that
he knew nothing of the girl's death
or burial in a lonely spot along the
railway tracks between here and
Grand Rapids.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Admirable Selection
To the Editor of the Telegrafh:
The propbsed appointment of
Lewis S. Sadler of Carlisle as State
Highway Commissioner under Gov
ernor Sproul cannot be improved
upon. The writer has known Mr.
Sadler since he was n boy. Gover
nor Sproul can make no better
choice for this office. Mr. Sadler is
a lawyer by profession, but is essen
tially a businessman; just the type
needed at the head of this most
important department of the state
government. This department, ever
since its establishment, has been
more or less involved in factional
politics, and this has proven some
what of a handicap. While Mr. Sad
ler is a stalwart Republican, he is
too big a man to permit a depart
ment of which he is the head to be
made the football for politicians.
He would conduct the department
as he would any other legitimate
business enterprise. While his ac
ceptance would involve a consider
able sacrifice of time and leisure,
he has such a high sense of civic
duty that ho might be Induced to
make a personal sacrifice. The
Governor-elect Is to be congratu
lated on his sagacity in designating
for this highly important office the
high type of businessman and ad
ministrator which Mr. Sadler's
friends know that he really is.

minutes by taking a teaspoonful of
UI-neHla Powder in a little hot water
immediately after eating or whenever
pain is felt. Thousands who have
tried it say there is nothing like
111-nenla for indigestion, gastritis,
acidity and dyspepsia. Get a 500
bottle todny of Geo. A. Gorges or any
other good druggist. Be sure to ask
for 111-noNln, the kind that is guaran
teed to stop pain in 5 minutes by the
watch, or your money back for the
asking.
