Nearly thirty deaths are, however, known
to have occurred. The victims included

thoroughfares have been cleared and all
but few side streets are now passable.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, March 14.-Dr.
George w. Cox, prominent physician
of Springfield, and United States pension
examiner, has young son who became
infatuated with a woman of bad repute,

dollars upon the woman, the Doctor en-
ticed the latter to Springfield by means
of telegrams signed with his sons name.
The woman arrived here early this morn:
ing and entered carriage at the depot
Dr.. Cox was in the carriage and as soon
as the woman entered it, he broke over
her head bottle of vitriol. The wo-
mans screams brought the police, who
released her from the frenzied physician,
arrested him and cared for the woman.
The latter is. horribly disfgured. Both
eyes are destroyed, but she will not lose
her life. The doctor was arrested on the
charge of mayhem and released on So 900
bond. There was some talk of lynchiDg
the doctor, but the excitement has sub
sided.

Her maiden name was Hattie Jordan,
and some weeks ago she eloped with

Boston, where they went. finger desert.
ed her. She returned to the house other
father at Durham, and refused to speak 8
word about the affair save that she was
married. Last Thursday it became plain
that her mind was affected, and she was
watched. She took laudanum a night
or so ago, eludiDg her watcher. She
was delirious after the effects of the
laudauum had passed away, and made
most terrible threats against Tingen.
Yesterday she became rational, and told
the true story of her elopement with
Tingen. They left the Salvation Army
together one night, her parent opposing
the match. She wanted to turn back,
but Nugen, with revolver at her head,
told her if she tried to. escape he would
kill her. At Roxboro' they we're mar.
ried. On their arrival at South Boston,
Tingen locked her up in room at the
hotel and threatened to kill her. Final.
ly Tingen left and never returned. The
woman is only nineteen and is pretty.
Tingen is only twenty years old. Last
September while in custody ofthe police
at Durham he shot himself in an attempt
to commit suicide to evade punishment.
The ball entered his neck, and 1T was
thought death was certain. The bullet
was never extracted. To tidings of Tin.
gen can be discovered.
John P. Odam was shot in his bed in
his house in Highland Township about
half past eight o'clock Tuesday night.
The load from one barrel of double.
barrelled shot gun was, lodged in his
right arm, making painful but not
serious wound. Odam had been reading
and had just laid down on the bed with
his face to the wall. Opposite the bed
was window in which was hole where
knot had been. Soon after Odom had
turned his back the muzzle of double
barrelled shot gun appeared in the knot
and shot was fired. It struck the un.
suspecting officer in the right arm, and
shot from the other barrel struck the bed
under him. The wounded man heard
fee ing footsteps, and seizing his gun
and pistol ran outside and fred seven
times in the direction of his disappearing
assassin, without any known result. The
shooting is supposed to have been the
work of some moonshiner who owed
Odam q grudge. Odam has been an
active officer and had made it warm on
several occasions for the crooked whisky
people in his section. The place where
he was shot is only three miles from
where Ben Ross was cowardly assassinat-
ed in his own house, not many weeks
ago. 1t is believed by some of Odam's
neighbors that some of the same men
who are thought to have known more
than they should of the Ross killing, are
concerned in the attack on officer Odam.
