"The bullet which struck Johnson
was a soft-nosed bullet. Bcbafer
claimed that he phot twice. We
heard only the shot which struck
Johnson. After we got back to Ard
more I asked Schaffer to see his gun.
In order to verify his statement that
h" had shot once before he shot
Johnson. This he refused to do. At
the time of the shooting we were
fully a half-mile from the state line
and had not crossed the line with
the liquor for the possession oil
which we were arrested. No offer of
money In any amount was made on
our part for release after we were
arrstrd.
"The eharee on w hich we were ar
rslcned tn district court at Hapld
City was for having liquor Illegally
In our possession and transporting
the same within the slate of South
Dakota. We were fined $200 and
costs. We were not charged with
violation of the federal laws. Re
ports to that effect are Incorrect.
"I have been out of the state only
hree times, including this trip, since
Nebraska went dry. While It Is true
that I have been charged with the
possession of more liquor than the
aw allows, having had two ana one-
half quarts In my home, -this case has
been appealed to the district court of
Hox Butte county, the question at is
sue there being as to whether or not
having more than one quart in he
home la a violation of the state lawa.
"I am making the above state
ments in order that the false and in

culated in our home town may be
corrected and that the true facta

The letter from W. C. Taylor, sec
ond vice-president of the Equitable,
to Mr. Guthrie on behalf or the War
Service Committee, and which ac
companied the Honor Dutton, read
as follows:
My Dear Mr. Guthrie:
"It was not, of course, possible for
all of our staff to participate active
ly In the war; but, nevertheless,
those who were at home rendered
splendid service supporting all of the
many patriotic campaigns that were
so necessary. It is safe to aay that
the Army abroad would not have
been so wonderful effective had it
not been for the larger army behind
the lines at home. N
"The War Service Committee felt
that it was only proper to give a lit
tie recognition to those at home for
work well done, and accordingly 200
Honor Buttons were ordered 100
in gold and 100 in silver to be
equally delivered among the mem
bers of the Home Office staff and the
Field Forcea to those whose labors
were especially noteworthy. In de
termlnlng the award we have en
deavored to do so most impartially,
baaed on the data we have been able
to secure covering the participation
and personal Interest taken in the
various Liberty Loan campaigns, the
W. S. S. and Thrift Stamp cam
palipis, the Red Cross campaigns, the
Y. M. C. A. and various other allied
campaigns, aa well aa any aaslstance
rendered the Draft Doarda.
"It gives me great pleasure to pre
sent to you one of the fifty gold but
tons awarded the members of the
Agency Staff. , While the personal
sut Isf act ion that you must feel in
having endeavored to play your part
in the time of national atresa will be
your real reward, yet I am sure that
you will nevertheless value this little
token.
"It is only proper to add that it
has been exceedingly difficult for us
to make these awards, because there
were ao many splendid records to re
view that aeemed almost equally
meritorious. I am sure that the
award in your case will therefore be
of added value."

had that we were followed by an
officer was when a shot from a re
volver struck Johnaon in the jaw.

ia Incorrect.

aid that he shot at the tires. He
was following about fifty yards be
hind, driving a Ilupmoblle, alone
If he was shooting at the tires, aa he

warning from Schaffer before he
shot, although he claimed to us that
he had called to US to atop.
"Aa soon aa we heard the ahot and
saw the car behind, I put out my left
