The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1882-07-04

of many, all of whom are powerful men,
Gary was stretched upon the floor OF the
station house, gasping, bleeding, painting,
begging to be turned loose. promising not
to make further attempt to harm himself,
growing paler and paler as If
touched by the icy hand of death, and
then, conscious of the awful fate which
awaited him as a self-murderer,
BEGGING THE DOCTOR
to give him relief, as he sponged away the
blood and examined the hideOus, gaping
cash across his throat. He was calm, now,
his struggles and the loss of blood had
robbed him of his strength, and he lay
calm and quiet, only his breast upheaving
as he gradually sank into stupor.
DIR. King, assisted by DIR. Overstreet, jr.,
succeeded in staunching the flow of blood
and then sewed up the cut, which was
seven inches i'm length, directly i'm the
front of the throat, cutting both jugulars,
barely missing the carotid artery and graz
ing the windpipe.
THE WEAPON USED
was a most worthless looking jack knife,
minus all the blades but one, and that one
not more than an inch and half long. Ii
was the most insignificant instrument ever
used to play so prominent part in such a
sensational tragedy.
Dr. King pronounces the act the coolest
and the nerviest he ever had brought to
his immediate notice. The doctor says
that i'm this case
THE GAME OF LIFE DEPENDS ON MORE
THAN ONE DEAL"
and that the wound may not prove fatal,
and that if there are no more hemOrrhages
the man may get we'll
WHO HE Is.
On the afternoon OF the 9TH of this month
there arrived i'm this city man and woman,
the former large and stout, the latter of
fine form and graceful carriage, who went
to Sichers' hotel, the man registering the
name of George A Gary and wife, ST.
Paul."
They were assigned to room "334 ;" and
treated with the usual courtesy of the
house. They were quiet, well-behaved
people, paying their bills promptly, and
meeting all i'm a social way. The wife
was somewhat snowy in dress, and man.
aged 10 attract a fair share of attention
from the young gents who board there.
The day after Gary arrived there came
a fine span of black mares and buggy, to
his address, per express. The bill was
large one, something like 5000, but it was
paid promptly.
With this match team and handsome
woman, Gary cut quite a figure in this
city, and was considerably noticed.
ALL Is NOT GOLD THAT GLITTERs.
Subsequent events proved, however, that
one must not believe all he sees, for while
Gary and the woman occupied the rela-
tion of man and wife, they were not mar
ried, and after staying together I'M
til the 18th of this month
he went to the recorders Office, procured a
license and the two were united I'M mar
riage 10y Rev. q. A. Beattie, OF the Presby-
terrain church, of this CITY,
The reporter saw Rev. Mr.. Beattie, and
from him CLEANED the following:
l met MIR. Gary in the bank one day,
and he told me he was from St. Paul.
took it for granted, in the conversation We
had, that he was a man of family. He
talked of going into the livery business,
and about embarking i'm sheep raising.
did not see him again until Monday fol-
lowing, while / met him ON Saturday.
About ten O'Clock a. IN June IL, Gary
came to my house, being with a lady APP
parently twenty-five or thirty years of age,
and introduced her to me as Miss Nettie
Tyler. He handed me license to marry.
i questioned them very closely and care
fully, but nothing was deTelOped which
was i'm the way of their union. Gary said
Miss Tyler was from Belvidere, Ills,
where she lived with an uncle; said her
mother resided in Dakota, where she was
going to start that day. Gary said that
Miss Tyler had a farm there. After the
marriage the lady asked for certificate,
and the gentleman asked that no publica-
ton be made of the wedding in the papers.
A BAZOO reporter, while looking over
some marriage licenses, some ten days ago,
found the one secured by Gary, in which
the womans name was given as
NETrE TYLER,
of Belvidere, Ill. Soon after the marriage
the woman left the city and has not re-
turned.
BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
This mornings denouement brought to
light the following facts:
Gary's home is at Elgin, Illinois, and
his right name is
NORMAN PROUsE
He was engaged i'm the dairy bust
ness there, and from young man by the
name of Garrett A. EchersoD, il was
learned that he was we'll thought of for
some time. He was also a married man.
But Gary, or Prouse, as he will now be
called, grew crooked, and began playing it
sharp ON his neighbors. Jus. what the
extent of his crimes is ii is not known
here, as yet, but that he has been playing
the part of the william, there can be no
doubt.
This morning Marshal Shy received the
following dispatch:
ELGIN, Ills, June 2S.
