with the Illinois farmer is of a romantic
nature. Miss johnson was a school
teacher, and while Miss Maggie Jen-
kins, a cousin of Demaree, was conduct
ing faithcure meetings in Chambers
burg year ago, the two women became
acquainted. From the friendship which
sprang up came confidence, and when
Miss jenkins labors ended she went
West. She took with her one of Miss
Johnson's photographs, and when Farm
er Demaree set eyes on it he was smit-
ten with its beauty. He was not slow to
act, and he at once wrote and asked if
she would correspond with him. She
said she would, and he sent on his pho
tograph and the school teacher was
pleased with it. When he proposed he
received an affirmative answer The
marriage day was set, and when Dema-
rec stepped off the train at that place
his intended bride was there to meet
him. They saw each other for the first
time and the meeting did not in the
least despoil what the letters and photo
graphs had inspired. They conversed
for time, and after procuring mar
rage license, Rev. George Norcross
made them man and wife. The next
day they left for Demaree's home.

ster, was fatally injured, and Claus
Reit's left leg was broken and he was
otherwise bruised. a number of men

in front of the safe, when it got beyond
control, and, rushing down, fell over on
to them. Majors shoulder-bone and a
number of ribs were broken, and his
flesh was terribly bruised. All hopes
for his recovery were abandoned. Reit's
condition was also rather precarious,
and it was feared that the amputation
of the crushed limb would be necessary.

The Sioux Commission.

CROW CREEK AGENCY, July s.
Via Chamberlain, S. D.-The Sioux
commissioners arrived yesterday.
This morning a council was held, at
which the provision of the act of con-
gress was carefully explained and the
difference between the present bill and
that of last year pointed out by Gov
ernor Foster and Major Warner.
Last year the commission failed at
this agency, but the success at other
agencies will facilitate matters here.
White Ghost and Drifting Goose were
the leaders of the opposition last year.
They are the most influential chiefs on
the reservation. Drifting Goose has
been badly treated by the government
i'll the past, in the matter of the Jim
river lands, and although by far the
most progressive Indian on the Sioux
reservation, it is at least natural that
he should view with suspicion any
offer to buy their lands. The council
adjourned at noon until Monday, and
in the meantime official efforts will be
made to secure the support of these
chiefs. If successful, the result will
be satisfactory as at Brule. The pros
poets for success in any event is en-
couraging.
The heat is intense. Yesterday at
p. IN. the mercury stood at 1O0in the
shade; to-day 40.

LEAvENwoRTH, July "a terrible
tragedy occurred in this city tonight.
Some two months ago Miss Eva Curry
was married to George b. Callahan.
who then lived and has since remained
with his wife at 513 Ottawa street.
Previous to her marriage, William Par
ish, young man without means or oc-
cupation, attempted to pay Miss Curry
some attention, but on account of his
general worthlessness she would have
nothing to do with him. A few nights
after her marriage Parish attempted
to commit suicide in house of prOsti-
tuition but did not succeed. Last night
he went to the house where Mrs. Gala
han has been living since her marri-
age and stayed visiting her until 10
o'clock apparently friendly and in per-
feet good humor. Tonight he went to
the house about 1890 and called Mrs.
Callahan to the porch. When she ap-
peared he drew a revolver and fired,
shooting her in the breast and killing
her instantly. He then ran away and
has not yet been captured. Mrs. Gala
han was highly respected by all who
knew her.
Parish went to a low dive and at
midnight shot himself through the head
Just as the officers were entering the
house in search of him.
