Mrs. Floyd Sykes, 40, was shot by William Chant, 30, a hired man, last Thursday afternoon at the Sykes farm two miles from Carthage. Chant, be- lieving he had killed the woman, shot himself through the head, dying instant- ly. A corset steel, deflecting a bullet, is believed to have saved Mrs. Sykes from Instant death. The hired man, an overseas veteran with long service in the English army, became enraged, Mrs. Sykes says, be- cause she . poured water on wood he was trying to dry in an oven at the farmhouse, Frances, aged 5, adopted daughter of Mrs. Sykes, three hours after the trag- edy stopped Theodore Crowner, a rural mail carrier, on a road near the house and told him a man had shot her •mother. Woman Shot Twice. Mr. Crowner found Chant lying dead on the dining room floor. A few feet away was Mrs. Sykes, conscious and suffering from two wounds. One bullet entered her back after penetrating her shoulder. Another entered her breast, but after striking the corset steel lodged in her clothing without making a deep penetration. The mail carrier rushed to a telephone at a neighbor's house and notified police headquarters in Carthage. Henry Andre, chief of police, went to the scene, ac- companied by Dr. C. F. Adams.

At Mrs., Sykes' request she was allow- ed to remain at home-instead of being taken to the hospital. Her husband, a former chief of police of Carthage, who was in Carthage all afternoon, having brought a load of wood, hastened home upon learning of the shooting. Dr. Adams holds out hopes for Mrs. Sykes' recov- ery, although she lost much strength during the three hours she was waiting for aid. Mrs. Sykes told the authorities that Chant had worked as hired man at the farm for nearly a year and was a good workman; his only failing being that he was quick tempered. Shortly before 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, green wood which Chant had placed in the oven to dry took fire. Although he was in the. not afford to miss it. The First Presbyterian Church.

Meeting of committee on annual budget and every member canvas at L. S. Miller's office Monday evening, February house, Mrs. Sykes says she went to the sink, drew a pail of water and doused th the flames. She says that this seemed inese to enrage Chant, who asked her why she did not call upon him to take care of the fire instead of handling the sit- 16th, 8 p. -m. You are cordially invJted to attend nation herself. A few other words fol- lowed, and then, she says, without any warning, he appeared in the dining room with a revolver and fired at her. Turn- ing, she tried to run, when the bullet caught her in the flesh above the shoul- der bone and entered her neck, well to- ward the back. Advancing toward her ' Chant aimed the second shot directly j at her heart. After striking the steel I of her corset it changed its course by j about 45 degrees and made a super- ficial wound a few inches long, staying close to the skin in its short course in her body. Christian Science. The Christian Science Society of Low- ville hold services every Sunday at 11 a. m., atXo. 350 State street. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone; sub- ject. February 15th. \Soul\; golden text. Job 36:22. \Behold God exalteth by his power; who teacheth like him?\ Mrs. Arr\azed at Own Act. Sykes then reports she heard Chant say in an undertone to himself: \Look what I have done. What did I to *that for? I don't know anything. I can do nothing now but to kill my- self.\ After repeating these words three or four times he sent the single builet through his own head. Mra. Sykea de- clares she was afraid to utter a word lest he should complete the job he had at- tempted. After the second shot he ap- \ peared to take it for granted that she waa dead and attempted no examina- tion. Chant came to this country Immediate- ly after hjs discharge from the British army. He obtained employment on the Sykes farm shortly after his arrival. It Is not believed that he had been in this country before, as he talked with a de- cided English accent. He did not tell much about his previous life except now and then he made reference to battles in^France and Belgium in which he had participated. Quarrel Was First. Mrs. Sykes claims the quarrel Thurs- day afternoon was the first she ever had with him. although she knew him to be quick tempered from his dealings with others. He had seemed rational and allowed no effects from years of hardship in the war. From the fright and seriousness of her injuries Mrs. Sykes was unable to riBe, being so weak that she thought she was paralyzed. The little girl, the only other person in the house at the time, was sent by the foster mother to call for aid. The girl tried to stop two other rigs before Mr. Crowner arrived, but she could not make the situation clear to the drivers, and they drove on. Mrs. Sykes is a member of the Cham- berlain family, one of the best known in Carthage, three of her brothers being Noah, Wellington and Fred Chamberlain. She and her husband moved to the farm last fall a few weeks after Mr.- Sykes ended a period of more than year as chief of police of Carthage. First Church of the Nazarene. Rev. F. E. Miller, Pastor.

LEWIS COMVTARH BUREAU Believe LowviMe Needs Community House—Possible Use for War Chest Donations. The Lewis County Farm Bureau con- tributes the following article: It is time for the leading citizens of Lowville to consider whether their boys and girls, as they grow up. will have an opportunity to develop the new com- munity spirit idea resulting from the war. It would seem a fitting use for the Lowville portion of the War Chest fund, to dedicate a memorial to the soldfers and sailors in the form of a community house, which would be of lasting service and benefit to the community, and to those who have given so generously to- ward the saving of our present demo- cracy. The war has plainly shown that it is high time for men in all walks of life to get together on common terms, talk* over their difficulties and work out a definite programme for the benefit of all. The Lowville band has for many years been a strong drawing card for the business men of the community. There are many other ways In which the com- munity idea can be brought about to good advantage through a community house. This would furnish the town a hall or place of meetings on important problems, also furnish a hall for special occasions. It might include a gymnasium of suit- able size to do the town justice and make the residents of the community feel proud of it. There might also be bowl- Ing alleys and a swimming pool for the boys and girls of the community, and a fitting dining hall\ large enough to hold a banquet when necessary. There might also be rooms for committee meetings and conferences between farmers and business men of Ahe town. Any person in the community adjacent to Lowville who has not already com- pleted payment of the War Chest obliga- tion thinks twice before feelirtg justified in completing payment. His first thought is, \I have pledged to pay a certain amount It is up to me to live up to my agreement.\ His second thought is, \Yes. but what in the world are they going to do with this money?\ Ho feels that there ought to be some definite ptece of work to be accomplished with the funds paid in. He at least wants to know where this money is gr>- ing. If it is for the ereneral pood of the community in a lasting way, there might be much more Incentive to complete the payment of the pledge.

WHISKEY IN HAY CAR. 300 Case* Valued at $35,000 Seized by Customs Inspectors Near Malone, 'Malone.

Edson Hill was taken ill on the 19th of Decem- ber with a very hard cold, which de- veloped into pneumonia and caused his death. Mr. Hill was well known and had many friends. He was always hon- est and upright in all his dealings with his friends and neighbors. He came to the states when 20 years of age and made hia home here. In 1909 he waa united in marriage to Miss Alma Wood, from Canada, and in 1919 a »little daugh- ter waa born to them, whose name is Madilean. He leaves to mourn his loss his loving wife, hia little daughter, his aged mother, one sister and five broth- era. The funeral was held from hia late home on New Year's day, Rev. Evan Evans, of Turin, officiating, who uaed as his text \God is our helper and our shield.\ Interment was made incHouse- ville cemetery. The sympathy from many friends is extended to^hia family. I loved thee. yes I loved thee, But Jesus loved thee more, And he has gently called thee To yonder shining shore. The gates of heaveri were opened, A gentle voice saldjcome, And with fairwell-^unspoken, He calmly entered home. *Tis sweet to bear thy name, dear hus- band, And know thou are at rest. Who, had many friends to love you, But your dear wife loved you best. Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on nis gentle breast, There to his arms he will receive us. Safely his soul shall rest.
