BUDDY" IN CRIME Near Fatal Fight Between Murderers ? ;in Chicago Jail , Chicago, June' 20. ? -Walter Krauser.! charged, with the murder of a police man, today stabbed five times and possibly fatally wounded Bernard Grant, under sentence of death for the same murder, while the two wore receiving visitors in the .fjnty jail., j Grant and Krauser wa'.e taken to I the visitor's room to meet relatives of each. When Grant entered the room; Krauser ignored the greetings of his relatives and immediately attacked his companion. Relatives, powerless to interfere, collapsed and the jail, hous ing several hundred prisoners, was thrown into confusion. Both Krauser and Grant were con victed of the murder of Policeman Ralph Spuders whilje trying to hold up a tea store two years ago. Both were sentenced to hang, but the case was carried to the supreme court ' which upheld the decision of the lower' courts as to Grant, but granted Krauser a new trial on his represen tation that Grant fired tHe shot which killed the policeman. Grant has succeeded in obtaining four or five reprieves, twice almost on the eve of the date fixed for his execution. He is now under sentence to be hanged August 14. His hair has turned white and he has become partly bald since his con viction. He was barely past the age of 19 when sentenced. The ill feeling between Grant, and Krauser, jail guards Said, had its inception after the supreme' court de cision. Tr. Grant, at the jail hospital refused to make any statement, answering all questions with a curt "I don't care to talk." v Krauser was more talkative. , "Grant i^ afraid he will hang for ?Sure August 14," he said, "and he wanted ta put all the blame on me, so that he would be pardoned by the governor. He was going to get me. I_was afraid of him, so I decided I would kill him before he got a chance at me."

A Tribute To Mrs. Emilv Post ? The Hobkirk Hill Chapter D* A. R. is again called upon to mourn the loss Of a valued member, Mrs. Emily Post.

We sorrow with her daughter, our beloved co worker, Mrs. R. B. Pitts, and as we extend to her and to the other daugh ters who' mourn their great loss, our sympathy, the air is .heavy with in cense, mingled with the perfume of rosemary and of rue. To Mrs. Post, life's fullest need had been given and she was not permitted to vtetch the shadows grow long at her feet but was called on to depart "While memories as flowers in bloom, Were fresh within her heart," As a friend and co-worker we, of the Hobkirk Hill Chapter retain > a sunny memory of her, but her pass- ] ing also brings a serious thought tlUll v "Out from tho earthly harbor shall wo drift ifi tho by and by, Unnoticed the clinging of lovfcd ones, unheeded 'tl\e kiss and tho sigh, IJut the compass of faith will avail, us and the prayers that we have,' prayer Will twinkle as lights in the distance illumining tin* heaviest shade; And instead of the bell buoys sound- . ing a warning of ambushed harm We will hear "It is I" from the Saviour, ( As He called once before through the storm!"
