SHOT LIEUTENANT IN THE BACK
Regular Army Officer Is Killed While
Assisting In Maneuvers at El
Reno, Oklahoma.
HE DIED WHERE HE FELL.
Foul Play Is Suspected and a Rigid
Examination Has Been Begun to
Discover Culprit.
Oklahoma City, Okla. A special to
tho Times-Journal from El Reno,
Okla., says:
Lloutenant K. L. Chapman, Btatloned
at Fort Reno, was Bhot In tho back
Thursday whilo assisting In tho man
euvers of six companlos in a running
fight, and Instantly killed. Early In
tho morning six companies of Infantry
wero callad out for Held maneuvers
in tho presence of Brigadier General
J. M. Lee whoso headquarters are at
San Antonio. Whilo engaged In a run
ning fight across tho pralrlo north
west of town Lieutenant'' Ch'apman,
who was acting as tho battalion ad
jutant, received a shot from a ball cart
ridge, fired from tho companies oppos
ing him. He died whero ho fell.
Foul play 1b Buspccted and n rigid
examination Is bolng instituted to de
termine if posslblo tho person who
fired tho shot. At tho present tlmo no
one In the six companies engaged can
throw any light on tho subject.
Thero appears to bo a general Im
pression at tho post that tho cartridge
was used purposely, and that it was
intended for another regimental officer
In tho party Instead of for Lieutenant
Chapman. It is reported hero that
Colonel Bailey of tho 25th Infantry, in
spector general, is supposed to bo the
offlcer referred to, but no evidence on
this point, If any has been found, is
given out, nor can tho presumed mo

tho fort.
Chapman received his commission
in 1901. Ho wns 30 years of age.

FAULTS OF THE MI8TRE8S. f

The capable mistress ,1s generally m

question but that she Is tho strongest w
factor in tho production of whatever H .
good service 1b given in tho household' I
to-day, writes Jano Seymour Klink, In- I
tho Atlantic. Novertheless, she Is- '
sometimes Inconsiderate, and in this
way: Sho can "turn off work" so- i
quickly herself that sho often forgets- "
others havo not tho samo faculty.
Girls in a new place aro often slow j
just becauso thoy are bo nervously :
anxious to pleaso. A capable, mistress,.
Impatient becauso things aro not mov
ing bo rapidly as sho knows they can
movo, does not always glvo a maid ,
tho two weeks' trial, by whfch she
could do herself Justice. Again, tho
capable mistress comes into the kitch
en to mako a cake. Everything is- '"
ready to her hand, and sho whisks
up tho cake in a few minutes, telling k
Jano to bako it carefully. Sho goos
up stairs and contrasts her quickness .
with Jano's slowness, forgetting that j
sho had neither placed things In readl- j
ness, nor cleared thorn away, neither
