rillas and blood purifiers that could
hear OF, and was treated by number
Of physicians without obtaining relief.
A passing commercial traveller advia-
ed me to try Swift's Specific. Finally
did SO. have used only half dozen
bottles, and my leg is sound again and
there is scarcely any sign of my ter

particulars of this horrible tragedy
| where good man, John Mc(silyrey'
met his death by Bowman Paxton. We
take from o Dexter special, as follows:
The difficulty, it seems, grew out Of
a game of dice between other parties.
The facts, as near as can be learned.
are that the parties throwing dice got
into row; one Knocked the other

Paxton made some remarks to Mot9il-
vrey about him going OH the bond ar
such fellow as the man arrested.
McGilvrey told Paxton to keep quiet
and attend to his own business. as hts
didn't like him any too well, anyway
They had some hot words, and ffnaily
went into the street to fight It ont.
They were stopped by friends. ana

and took drink together. This O.

toms shoulder and made some remark
Paxton drew pistol and commenos.f
firing on McGilvrey. One shot struck
him in the mouth, another lust under
the left eye, and the third in the brenst.
He sank to the earth and died in q few
minutes. Paxton started to run. but
was caugh. and ia now in Jail atKennett.
McGllvrey has been drinking hard for
several years, but was not offensive or
troublesome. There was strong talk
of lynching Paxton, and had not tho
officers hurried away to iail with him
1t would no doubt have been done.
The mahner in which McGilyrey was
shot down enraged the people greatly.
and even after Paxton went to Jail the
talk OF lynching him was kept up. To-
day was the time fixe, for the prelim-

Isabel Dunleath smiled contentedly

"Oh, how pretty I am! and how glad

I do wonder If Mr.. Clifford has-has

He was q handsome fellow himself

stinct with gentle, chivalrous tender

and, as far as Isabel Dunleath was con-
cerned, very friendly, very admiring,
very devoted when special occasion con-
veniently offered. and vet sufficiently
reserved to have made the girl value
him all the more highly, and esteem
him all the more eagerly.
There was vast difference in their
positions socially, SO far as wealth went,
for Miss Dunleath was an heiress Of the
creme de 10 creme Of the aristocracy,
the only child of her indulgent, wild

beautiful home; while Clyde Clifford
was d musical artist, dependent upon
his salary as church organist for his
daily bread, and on that salary he
bought not only very nice bread, but
dressed himself Ia mode, and wore
lboutonnicres, and had o fair amount d
pocket money. i
For he was no ordinary musician.
He was an artist who could command
