The engagement was the result of one of I is acquaintances telling him Thursday that he would make a poor soldier and could not fight. Adam resented thi insult by severely punimeling his tormenter, but Adam didn't come out of the melee unscratched. Hefore he had put his adversary to route the latter struck him with a club on the forepart of the head, tutting a deep gash in the-j-calp.

Dr. Owen, a member of th3 board, took several stitches in the young man's scalp to close the J wound, and Adam left the otflee with a broad grin on his face and apparently none the worse for the experience.

March, "it has been found necessary to limit shipments to France to things absolutely essential to the fighting efficiency of our forces there. "Shipment of parcels to individual officers and soldiers have reached the enormous proportion of an average of 20,000 tons a week and by reason of their bulk have displaced a great amount of important army freight on commercial liners and transports. "Shipments of articles to members of the American expeditionary forces vill bo limited to those articles required by individuals to I whom fhey are to be given, these requests having been approved by the commanding officer. "It will he seen from these instructions that the war department does not mean to prohibit shipments by relatives and friend of needed articles to members of our army in France, but to restrict the shipment to the needs of the individual, as he requires them. "In this manner the amount of shipments of such articles will be under the control of those in authority, yet will deprive no pers-on of any needed articles.

HDICT WOLFE FOR : SLAYING UNCLE ON

OWN STATEMENT Walkerton Man's Reputed ' rx i t r f Matement basis oi brana Jury Action at Goshen. Neu s-1 hue sp-ial Service: GOSHEN, Ind.. March 2?. The circuit court grand jury here, after being in session for two days, formally indicted Walter Wolfe of Walkerton. St. Joseph county, on the charge or murricrmu his uncle, Isaac S. Rashor, a farmer, who lived two and one-half miles north of Nappanee. Wolfe, who has been a prisoner in the county jail here for a week, did not testify before the grand jury, but a sworn statement made by him, called a confession, was submitted to the body. In addition several witnesses testified, among them Edgar F. Sheneman of Walkerton. 21 years old. and an acquaintance of Wolfe, who. in the event of the defendant standing trial, will likely be the state's principal witness. Conspired to Kill Uncle. It is understood that when Sheneman testified before the grand jury he related in substance information that came into possession of Sheriff Sanford soon öfter Rashor was killed on the night ef March 11. The sheriff icertained that Wolfe, eager to become heir to his uncle's $20,000 estate, had for more than a year deliberately plotted to murder Rashor and that Sheneman had been openly asked to assist in the project. The scheme, as outlined by Wolfe, it is said, was for him to make a false will in which he would be named as beneficiary and that he was to place it in "Uncle Ike's" trunk. Rashor, C' years old and a bachelor- lived alone on the farm. He was to be chloroformed or poisoned, it is reported. Sheneman's remuneration fcr the assistance he was to giv Wolfe was to be enough money "so that he would not have to work for a year or two at least." Wolfe's Alleged Cnnro-don. The alleged confession of Wolfe was made to Sheriff Sanford at the jail here and rcknowledged by J. O. Kants, a Nappanee lawyer, who represent the Rashor estate, is utterly preposterous in the opinion of some of those who have inspe'-ted it. Wolfe, in the statement, savs that on the afternoon of March 11 he went from hit- Walkerton home to Nappanee on a Raltimore and Ohio freight train 'and that he walked from Nappanee to his uncle's farm. In order to keep from being seen on the main highway he cut through tields and walked through a woods and along rail fences. Not finding P.ashor in Mio stable, as expected, he secreted himself in a nearby woods and awaited the return of his uncle, who had been in Milford and Nappanee. Plead-; Self hei'en-e. Wolfe claim?. It is said, that he asked his une'e to let him have money and that he wa. refused. Words followed and then, the "confession" says. Rashor ordered Wolfe off the place, a tight ensued. Wolfe declares his uncle had him down on the barn floor and it was then he used a pocket knife on Rashor. Early in the :ight. Wolfe relates, Rashor had struck him with a pitchfork. It is Wolfe's story that when he left the Rashor barn his uncle was sitting agairnd a stone wall. When the dead body was found by a neighbor on the morning of March 12 it was back of a horse and there was speculation as to whether death had not been caused by a kick from the animai. Murderer Returns Home. To reach his home, .15 miles away. Wolfe walked to I,aPaz Junction and then rode a Raltimore and Ohio freight into Walkerton, where he lives with his wife, two children and his father on a live-acre tract, arriving between 1 and 2 o'clock on the morning of March 12. It was learned from his wife that he crawled through a window in order to get into the house and that he burned his shirt and "other wearing a pparel. It is said than Sheneman says that Wolfe approached him after the murder had been committed and asked him if he had ever told anybody regarding the plot. "I have given that up." Wolfe is declared to have aid to Shenenian, "and I want you to shut up " Officers have learned that for three weks before Rashor was murcbred it was known to several persons about Walkerton that Wolfe had planned killing him and that he hail actually asked Sheneman to enU-r into the proposition. Mot of these persons kept the information t othamiKelves, not desiring to become mixed up in th" matter. Some of the officers believed that had residents of Walkerton told all they knew- when thn- should have told it that Rashor would b alive. GENERAL'S WLFE IS KILLITD. PARIS. Mir h 2'..
