Preston Parr, of Mingona, returned
yesterday from Guthrie, Oklahoma,
where he went to investigate the sud-
den death of his brother Riley Parr,
mentioned last week. He found that
his brother was taken sick very sudden
ly June 9th and died the following
night. Henry Espey, father-in-law of
deceased, had asked him if he did not
want whiskey toddy; Parr said yes
and drank it; suddenly he became very
sick with gripes and pains. His faith
er, Jacob Parr, who was living near,
and his brother Thomas were notified.
The latter went to Guthrie, 6 miles and
half for a doctor named Smith. He
went and administering emetics, soon
had the patient relieved. That was
Friday night. Saturday evening Parr
had recovered sufficiently to want some
thing to eat. Mrs. Espey, his mother
in-law, volunteered to prepare some
thing, including a cup of tea which he
drank. Suddenly he turned his face
from his father, who was sitting at his
side and giving several sudden Jerks,
went into-spasms and died IN a few
hours. DR.. Smith was again sent for,
but did not arrive until after death had
interviewed. He told the elder Parr
that he believed his son had been pois-
Oned by strychnine or arsenic; but
nothing was done about an investiga-
ton then. The body was buried and
Monday Henry Espey and his daughter.
widow of deceased, went to Guthrie to
make arrangements about disposing of
the property left by deceased.
In the meantime the neighbors had
heard the rumors about the case and
they insisted on the arrest of Henry
Espey and his wife, Marietta. No
definite action was taken until the fol-
lowing Saturday, July 5, when the cor
oner and a jury exhumed the body took
the evidence of several witnesses, re-
moved the stomach and other internal
organs from the body and placed the
Espeys under arrest, and took them to
Guthrie. They waived preliminary ex-
animation and their trial for murder is
set for July 2lst, next Monday.
Preston Parr does not say what he
thinks about the case further than to
| give it as his belief that his brother was
poisoned. His father and brother, we'll
acquainted with the circumstances,
think that Mr.. and Mrs. Espey were
responsible for his death.

Some time ago, a full set of school
blanks for the year including notices Of
the annual meeting were sent to all dis
tricts clerks.
Since the law fixes the time and place
of holding the annual meeting and
while it is the duty of the clerk to post
these notices as provided for by law, q
failure to do so will not inyalidate the
proceedings of the meeting should the
voters convene at the proper time and
place and transact the business proper
Iy before the meeting.
However, should the clerk fail fof
any reasOn-such as not having re-
ceived them-to post these notices at the
proper time, be should do so at his first

New Mexico for Homeseekers.

Over 100000 acres of government land is
yet vacant in New Mexico subject to entry I'M
der presumption, homestead, timber-culture
and desert land laws. Much of this is pro-
ductive agricultural land. capable of cultiva-
ton without irrigation. The market for farm
products is good. Prices for same are 80 per
cent. to 20 per cent. higher than in states east
of the Rockies. For successful and profitable
fruit growing the irrigated valleys of New
Mexico cannot be surpassed. The climate is
invigorating and free from malaria Extremes
of heat and cold are not severe. New Mexico
is reached directly via Santa Fe route. For

9, 1890, abiding to the Hart boys. The
Hart boys are three in number, John E.
Hart, Joseph E. Hart and James r.
Hart, and moved to Barber county 8
Kansas, from Tennessee, last Decem-
Der, and settled on a quarter section of
land in the Julian neIghborhOod, that
they traded property for in Tennessee
to DR.. Erwin, of Hazelton, We came
here to live and IN permanently make
this our home, as other families have
done from the same section of country
we came from. We oaDle here as
strangers, of course, not being &C.
qualnted with the country OF its inhabi-

Erwin and w. l.. Gamble, of HaZelton
Shortly after our arrival, we moved to
the quarter section allowed named and
commenced making some improve
ments. First, we built an addition to
out house and partitions through the
main building. After this was done
we took out policy of fire insurance
on our house and furniture for 5000 90.
Our house and furniture was all con.
sumed by fire. The adjuster of the
company came down and adjusted our
loss or estimated it and agreed to allow
us $434.39, which was agreed to nv ALI
of US. II seems after the adiuster left.
some one from Hazelton took it upon
themselves to write to the company
and tell them the estimation was too
high as made by the ad1ustsr. Wetold
the adjuster at the time, that all we
wanted was what was right and Just.
We feel that we have been done great
wrong by 'W. G. A." We know the.

never had any dealings with him in no

Here is a Kite.String for Won. Bow,

1t will require 81. 1000 tons of Irvine to
bind the grain crop of this country this
season, should it be an average crop.
Every pound should measure about 600
feet. Now, boys. suppose you had all
this Irvine for kite-string, how high
could you fly your kite? 1,O50,6O6 IL
264 miles. That's right.
The kite might go up out of your
sight and surprise the man in the moon.
Some of this Irvine is very good and
strong, made of Manila and Sisal, and
some of it is so poor we fear it would
fail you just at a time when the kite
was highest.
If you want perfectly safe and sure
string get that made by the Deering
factory, which is made of the best fibre,
in the best manner, and is of great
strength, and induce your father to buy
this for his harvester, and 1t Will serve
either his purpose or yours and make
both of you happy.

GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.
Spokane Falls the Scene of Another Hor-
rifying Disaster.

rifying Disaster.
Time only heightens the horrors
wrought by the premature explosion OF
a blast in the Northern Pacific freight
yards at Spokane Falls, Wash, Satur-
day night. At IL p. m. the men en-
gagged in the sad task Of taking out the
mangled victims were forced to desist,
because among the rocks which were
being cleared away were Ave other
blasts that might be exploded in
the task of removing the mass OF
debris that buried the victims. Up to
that hour eighteen bodies had been
taken out. There are yet twenty-seven
mon unaccounted for, all of whom are
probably buried beneath the mighty
mass of rock. The fatality was terrible.
The men were given no chance for life.
1t was either instant death or slight in
Jury. There were about 200 pounds OF
giant powder in the blast The accident
was caused by some ones carelessness.
The man in charge of the blast and
three assistants were blown to atoms.
1t is the custom to prepare
blasts and charge them, and ut the
hours of 12, noon, and 6 o'clock, after
the men have left work and gone to a
place of safety, to shoot them. In this
case. however, it seems that one blast
had been prepared and the foreman, G.
Mcpherson, was preparing a second.
The men had all finished their work and
were putting on their coats and picking
up their lunch pals ready to go to their
homes after their days work, when they
met horrible and unexpected
death. Either the rock was too
hot from the action of the
drills or else tamping exploded the
second blast, and thatexploded the first.
A man who was tamping paid the penal
| ty with his life. a man who stood be-
side the one who was tamping escaped
with slight bruises, although 10000 Gu
| bic feet of rock were hurled for hum
dreds of feet in every direction. Anoth-
| or man who was near the deadly blast
and was supposed to be dead was seen
shortly after the explosion in half
crazed condition walking around with his
| clothing torn to shreds. The men
were working in cut leveling off the
| ground for the new freight yards. The
cliff of rock on the side of the cut
which was being removed was twenty
| feet high. The blasts are 30 arranged
that the rock is thrown toward the cliff.
Not anticipating the blast, about thirty
men were under the ctiff when the blast
exploded. A great mass of rock and
earth raised in the air and pitched over
in the cut, burying the men beneath its
awful weight. None of them had time
to run, but few escaped in miraculous
manner. Over 100 men were at work in
the adjoining cuts, and at once were or
the scene of the terrible accident, and
began with pick and shovel to hunt fol
the buried bodies.
