who is a married man, is in jail charg
ed with the crime.
As usual thetwo men weretogetb

the Cameron House when Lenhart
began to tease Mot about a woman,
whom, it is alleged, I t 1 1 called upou.
Mut became angry and troubleseem
i d imminent. They afterwards decid
ed to let the matter go and took sev
eral drinks together. The two
men remained together lor an
hour lunger when a reference to the
woman again led to hot words. Then
they separated, Motz joined a friend
Aaron Weidensaul, while Lenharl en
tered a nearby restaurant. Mut ami
Weidensaul went to the Baker House.
Lenharl approached Mut. and, so
the authorities allege, stabbed him in
the neck. The jugular vein was sev

minutes. Lenhart was arretted by
two officers at his home. )nce ineiis
tody he begged the officers to shoot
him. Iledcclared rejieateilly that he
would rather he dead than alive. To
dav Lenhart declared that he.did not
stah Motz. He says that Mot first
struck him and that he brushed him
roughly away. The knife cannot be

sole power of awarding this elegant
Weaver organ to some church, Sun

count toward awarding the contest.
There will lie no rules or restiic

necessary for the purpose of making
the award honestly. The contest
will begin as soon as the details can
be arranged, perhaps next week.
