He lived near Clinton until 1918 when he moved to Washington to work wit han express agency, and had been a messenger for forty-eight years es here today pending the outcopie of the condition of Walter McGaha, who is in Greenwood Memorial hospital suffering from a pistol wound in the stomach. Deputies said the man told them he fired a shell from his .38 cali ber Jap officer’s pistol when ‘‘ho came at me with an axe.” The shooting apparently resulted from an argument at Greenwood Lake, deputies said. Officials at the Greenwood Me morial hospital said McGaha’s con dition was ‘‘fairly good,” and that he had shown considerable im provement since he was brought to the hospital. Originally he was listed in criti cal condition. SAY: “I SAW IT IN THE CHRONICLE” THANK YOU “I Love Lucy” adopts Henry J He joined the Masonic order early in life and had been" a Shriner! since 1908.

The Issue Is Clear In addressing the national Demo- ■ : atic convention President Truman dared: "There must be no betrayal the New Deal and Fair Deal.” Governor Stevenson of Illinois won mo nomination after he received the nod from Truman and the big ma- < h:ne boys quickly climbed on the fcuhdwagon. Officeholders always they think more of seniority, com mittee standings, patronage and . handouts than anything else. General Eisenhower is opposed to .e Fair Dual with all of its corrup tion, incompetence, extravagance and socialism. Gov. Stevenson, the Dem ocratic nominee, has been holding strategy meetings with President Truman, and is reported to be con cerned about "throwing” him off. But this he can't do, if he even wanted -to:--The--Democratic- nominee t?“the chi'd of Harry Truman.
