or dissQlves the disease is not CHAMBERS,

sinks to the bottom the horse should be
killed.

June several cattle on the Smoky Hill

and apparently happy to get back home
again. They were all re-branded and
returned to the range without assistance.

Ell Dorado Times: There are new de-
velOpments in the suicide of Mrs. I. H.
Shively, of Andover. This week Milo
Fuller, of Andover, caused the arrest of
John Zimmerly, of Andover, for threat
ening to kill him, and Zimmerly was
placed under bond. AS we hear the
story, some time last December Mrs.
Shlvely went to Wichita and returned
the same day in buggy with her neigh
Dor, Fuller. Two or three days after
this trip she told her sister, Mrs. Zim-
merly, that Fuller had given her drugged
candy and then outraged her. Soon
after she told her husband and avowed
her intention of killing herself, in which
she was dissuaded by every possible
means. She declared she would not
face the world in her disgrace, could
not bear to testify in court concerning
the matter, and ended by shooting her
self with a shotgun, as stated the other
day. 1t seems incredible that in the
light of her testimony Fuller is still al
large or even alive, and there must be
some circumstances enshrouding the
matter in doubt or such would not be
the case. Mrs. Shively was highly es
teemed by all who were acquainted with
her and all regret her horrible death
There is no doubt of her insanity at the
time the deed was committed.
