A shocking tragedy occurred in Keo-
lSulx, Clarence ii. Gardner blowing out
his brains with carbine in the pres
with whom he wanted to elope. Gard
ner lived in the neighborhosd where
the Sheppard family reside, and has
been considered as one of their intimate
friends. About two years ago VIM.
Sheppard, husband of the woman in.
question, was arrested, charged with
making and passing spurious coin.
Later he was convicted in the United
States court at KeolSuli, but sentence
was suspended because of the peni-
ject poverty of his family.
Ever since this unfortunate occurrence,
Gardner has been trying to ALLEVIATE
Mrs. Sheppatd's affections from her
husband, and succeeded to consider
able extent, according to the story told
by the woman's husband. But Gardner
was determined to induce Mrs. Shop
pard to elope with him, and having
threatened self destruction if she
refused proceeded to execute that
terrible threat as soon as possible.
At the November election in Shen-
andoah boy by the name of WEIGH,
about II years old, was run over by
the driver of team who was hauling
voters to the polls. The boy, when
picked up, was supposed to be fatally
in red, and that he could not survive
through the night A medical examin-
alton disclosed the fact that the head
was laid open to the bone from the oc-
cipita across the forehead down through
the left eye brow; the superior maxi
lar fractured in the center; also the
inferior maxilar fractured in the cen
ter, and part of the bone destroyed.
OF the many physicians who examined
the case none believed recovery pos
sible except DIR. H. p. Dutiield, who is
recognized as a surgeon skilled in his
profession. He believed cure possible
and at once proceeded to dress the boys
wounds. The superior maXilar was Sc
cured by wire, and the inferior maxi
lar in cup of dental cement. There
was also serious fracture of the left
zygomatic process. Mangled as the
boy was recovery seemed utterly inn
possible. Yet under the constant
care and skillful treatment of the sur
geon all bandages and supports have
been removed and the boy is running
around.

Strange Story of an Oklahoma Mar

Strange Story of an Oklahoma Man.
A few days ago a bronzed, heavy set
man, whose dress indicated that he was
from the west, registered at the Dun
can hotel, Burlington, under the name
of w. p. White. He registered from
Hennessy, Oklahoma, and his dcmeanor
indicated that he was indeed typical
wcsterner. Ii was learned later, how
ever, that the mans real name was
William Osborn, deputy marshal of
Oklahoma, and he was not there after
criminals but was looking for his
mother. He tells strange and pathetic
story. Last April William osborn's
mother left her sons home in Oklahoma
and went to Kansas to visit relatives
during the summer She is widow,
cultivated and refined, and possessed of
a goodly competence, but a large por-
ton of her estate had became involved
and left her without an income, to
which she was rightfully entitled. At
