June 19.—(%)— Constable William Wathen lay in agony on a, lonely Nebraska prairie for 24 hours jotting clues in a notebook to help his fellow Officers apprehend the two “mad dogs” who wounded him and slew Sheriff L. I, Smoyer of Albion ‘Thuraday. Sheriffs pressed the hunt for the fugitives as Wathen lay near death in an Omaha hospital. A bullet through his hip paralyzed him from the waist:down. Smoyer was killed instantly, a bullet through his heart, when the two officers attempted to arrest two suspicious characters in the sand- hill country north of here. Directing the search was Dep- uty State Sheriff. E. E. Clark who branded the assailants “two mad dogs” who are going to get the “chase of their life.” 2 “Look in book,” Wathen scrawled inside the cover of his notebook as he lay near his dead friend, <_ “Two men.shot sheriff and me.

The author had offered to forgive his wife and take her back, but she refused and the divorce pro- ceedings and trial were, said to have been the most trying ordeal of Sir James’ life. Many of the stage succeses of Bar- rie were produced in America by Charles Frohmann,-whom the author regarded as one of his closest friends. During Mr. Frohmann’s numerous visits to London the two were in- separable. Maude Adams starred in three of Barrrie’s plays in this coun- try, “The Little Minister,” “Peter Pan,” and “What Every Woman Knows.” While possessing the thrift of his native Scotland, Sir James was said to have cared little for money. He ‘was not s0 much concerned about the financial returns from his writings as he was about their success with the reading public and theater-goers. However, his work was successful nancially as well as from the literary standpoint, and up to 1910 he was said to have earned upward of $3,- 000,000 and that his royalties from “The Little Minister,” alone exceeded $450,000, Enough phosphorus is contained in three old-style matches to kill any human being; yet the human body contains enough phosphorus to make 800,000 such matches.
