HAD SPLENDID WAR RECORD Daniel Lewis Bennlnger, aged 32 years, a World War veteran, died at the Oil City hospital, at 11:45 o'clock Monday morning from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his head. The deceased, who was.

a resident of near Kanevllle, but had ben residing with a cousin, Mrs. Ira Fox, of Waits road, near was found unconscious on the floor of the Fox home at al'out 8:30 o'clock this morning, a 22 calibre Stevens rifle lying at his side. He was removed to the Oil City hospital In the Osenider ambtt-lance. Police made an investigation of the. case, but could find little information regarding the shooting, out it is bi-lleved that he meant to take his own life.

Reports that he had been melancholy and mentally unbalanced leads to the belief that the shooting was not accidental. The bullet entered the right temple and lodged in the brain. His condition was so critical when he was admitted to the hospital that no attempt was made to probe for the bullet. Reports from the office of the Oil City chapter of the American Bed Cross show that he had a splendid war record, having entered the service on September 5, 1918 and getting his discharge on August 5, 1919. He served with the 4tb Sanitary train of the 19th ambulance corps.

He was one of 21 children. 16 of whom survive, together with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Hays H. Renninger.

Fiftet-n members of the Henderson post of the American Legion worked the greater part of Saturday to get the road in shape, and an excellent pass will now greet motorists going to the airport.

It is probable that over 20 planes will be-at the port during the circus and the baby blimp of the Goodyear Rubber will most likely be seel during the three days.
