who had a cattle rancho in the Territory,
and was lately driven out.

ana was laIOly uI1FCA OUT.
Atchison Champion a hospital patient
got out of his head, a short time
ago, and swallowed a bottle OF
aconite to relieve imaginary palms.
Mrs. Hale soon discovered the empty
bottle, and running halfmile to a tele-
phone, summoned DR.. Campbell. The
Doctor administered the usual remedies,
and the man is no worse for the dose.
His peculiar physical condition saved
him. Had he been q well man, death
would have been the result.
Usage Mission Journal: During the ex-
treme heat a few afternoons ago. Mr.. Jas.
A. Boutwell,, who lived on his farm in
east from Erie, went to the well and
drew bucket of cold water which he
dashed all over his person to allay the
feeling of extreme heat and exhaustion
under which he was suffering. The
shock was too sudden and violent, and
he sank to the ground and died almost
instantly from the effects of the cold
drenching.
Troy Chief: The elevator at Severance,
run by Angstad & Smith, and owned by
E. V. Snively, of Wathena, was discov-
cred to be on fire the other day, and was
burned to the ground, with quantity of
corn and small grain. The railroad water
tank was also burned, and a freight car
on the track, loaded with salt, belonging
to the railroad Company. Other property
was with difficulty saved. There was
some insurance or the elevator. This
fire was the work of an incendiary. An
attempt had been made to burn the ele-
vator the night before, but the fire was
discovered and extinguished.
Delphos Carrier: One of the most NOR
tilted mothers we have seen for some
time was at the M. E. church at Beloit
last Sunday. She had gone to church
and left her little three-year-old child
playing in the sand near the house.
When the meeting was about half out,
in marched the boy with no hat on, dirty
face, stockings hanging down over his
shoes, and about four inches of bear legs
visible, and walked right up to the pull
pit. The mother grabbed him up and
fed, with her face lit up like an electric
light. Of a certainty that boys pants
suffered.
Hutchinson Interior: One of the most
distressing accidents that has occurred
in this county for some time past is the
burning of the house of Mr.. Harris and
the loss of his three children. It seems
that Mr.. II. was away from home, har-
vesting, and that Mrs. H, after having
done washing, went to a neighbours
about half a mile distant, leaving her
three children, all under the age of five
years, locked up in the house. When
she started to return she saw that the
house was in a blaze, and it was too late
for help. They lived just in the edge of
Kingman county two miles south and
two east of Purity.
Usage Mission Democrat: James
Dougherty with his family consisting of
eight persons came to this city on the
4th. Before starting to town Mr.. D. put
some hay in the wagon, which a favor
lite hen percelvlng proceeded to hide
herself therein, where she rode to the
city undiscovered until the family got
out of the wagon here, when her hen
ship also got out and spent the day in
her own way. When the family were
about to return home Mrs. Hen was on
hand and jumped into the wagon also,
where the was secured and put into a
coop until everything was ready for the
homeward trip, and then she was taken
along apparently satisfied with her cele-
bration of the glorious fourth.
Augusta Gazette: It looks as though a
premeditated murder was committed in
Richland township a few days ago.
Franklin Henshaw taught school in the
Richland Centre District, last Winter,
and Sam Russell was one of his pupils.
They had some difficulty during the
Winter. In addition to this, it appears
that the attentions of Henshaw to a GER
tain young lady were preferred to those
of Russell, and the latter became Jealous;
they had some words recently at which
time Russell is reported to have told
hot Ion h.
morning with his revolver and kill him.
The next morning he rode up to Mr..
Vint's house and inquired of a daughter
the whereabouts of Henshaw, who re-
piled that she did not know. He then
rode out to field where Henshaw was
at work and asked him to take back some
thing he should have said about Russell.
HenshaW replied that he had said moth
ing that he wished to take back, when
Russell drew his revolver from his boot
pointed it toward Henshaw. The latter
was standing in header-box, and made
spring to Jump behind Russell on his
pony, but jumping to far he fell on the
ground Russell then wheeled his pony,
and as he did so, shot at Henshaw, the
ball entering just below the right nipple,
coming out just below the ribs on the
left side. It is thought impossible for
him to live. Russell was arrested and
taken before Justice of the peace in
Douglass, and after an examination was
held in $4,000 bail to await the termina-
of the wound.
Fort Scott Monitor: Several days ago
two brothers named Sivey were bathing
in the Marmaton river at point little
north of Mr.. Johnson's brickyard, when
they discovered embedded in the river
bed, about four feet under water, what
proved to be large iron safe. 1t lies
embedded in the mud so that the boys
finding it have been unable to find the
door or tell whether it is locked or not,
or what state of preservation it is in:
The finding of a safe in the middle of
the river bed is mystery, and just how
it came to be there no one has come for
ward to saw. General theories have
