Walter Bryson. son-in-law of Bud Bryson, and a distant blood relative, is credited with the shooting, following a quar rel over the whipping of a child.

"Selected by President Wilson during the war as a member of the war financc corporation and later as assistant secretary of the treasury, Mr. McLean had experience in gov ernmental finance, " handling both large and small transactions, and in all these matters the same ability and wisdom displayed by him in his local affairs were shown in matters of greater magnitude. By his loyalty and patriotic service he gained the warm admiration and praise of Pres ident Wilson. "It is for the best interest of each citizen that he should consider the coming campaign with reference to such result as will bring to each tax payer full value for every dollar that is paid in taxes, whether for the comi ty or the state, and Mr. McLean's home folks present him as a man ful ly capa&le of meeting these require ments," he said , adding: "During all my years of associa tion with Mr. McLean in business and in the social and religious life of my community the strongest individual trait of his character is that, aftor gathering all the information avail able from every source, he eomes to his own conclusions and aets in ac cordance with hVs own individual judgement, and with this quality, he has the eonrage and the conviction to stand by his own ideas and pur poses." ? - o DILLSBOSO We are sorry to bear 01 Airs.
