you the wretched story Of my life, which has
thus for remained unknown TO most OF my
acquaintances, and do 50 III full confidence
that my secret Is absolutely safe with you
First Of all | am not a widow, as you sup
pose Ny husband, Edward Barton, IS still

measures. An orphan ever since can re-
member, infatuated at IA with man many
years my senior, married him contrary to

CANTON, TEX Nov. 26.-Ssturday
morning DR.. ". II Byrd Was found lying
cut all to pieces On his bed In his drug
st ID st Martin Mills,s country town thir-
teen miles south Of here in this county.
He WAS unconscious and remained so for
& day aud o half He is conscious at this
writing, but can not talk.
Hs was yesterday evening answering in
Iterrogstories propouDded by the justice
Of the peace telling how his misfortune
hsd happened. He states that he knows
who did the work but won't tell their
names yet. He says ne will tell when ne
gets SO he can talk. He is fesrfully
cut In the breast, shoulders
and ans. It is believed from
the circumstances thus far obtained that
the parties who tried to murder him had
called him up, perhaps, to buy some
medicine. It Is the superstition that he
went to the door to let them IN. Blood
on the door and other things near the
door show that the work WAS done about
the door. Two OF three yourg men
have been suspected as parties impli-
Gated. Subpoer 8s for the arrest OF two
men, one living at Commerce, Hunt
county, the other near Martin Mills have
been issued and placed In the hands CT
Constable J. ". Bstemsn for execution.
Byrd is still alive, though he cannot
speak q word and is not expected to re-
cover,
