KNOCKS PASTOR DOWN AS SEQUEL TO CHURCH FIGHT.

Kansas Minister Attacked by Unidentified Man At the Gate of His - Home.— ft ————— A recent Chicago paper published the following associated press dispatch from Wellington, Kans. "Rev. L. F. Parker, Pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, was assaulted and knocked down by an unidentified man as he was entering the gate of his home. A bystander then interfered and prevented further violence. The man who committed the assault, while a stranger here, is related to a family in the city and the attack is supposed to be connected with recent trouble Rev. Mr. Parker had with his church.” If ministers in general would give a little more attention to their physical developement in connection with their mental training, there would be fewer such occurrences as described in the above press dispatch. A good example of the class of ministers can be seen at Ellis Theatre, next Monday, Aug. 15, when “The Fighting Parson,” W. F. Mann’s newest melo-dramatic offering will demonstrate in a forcible manner, the real benefit derived from proper physic ?1 development in conjunction with the acquirements of spiritual knowledge Mr. Jno. A. Preston has been selected by Manager Mann as the ideal “Figtning Parson.”
