n Lane.
OVID, Aug. S.-Henry Lyvere, a
farmer living two miles north of here,
was found dead, shot through the heart,
Sunday evening. His wife, Anna Josie
Lyvere, said her husband was called
out of the house at $3.50, got a revolver
and an AK and started down the lane.
She then heard the report of revolver
and awakened her half brother, John, j.
Lape. They went out and found her
husband lying on the ground dead
They then aroused the neighbors.
The neighbors say they found the
body lying crosswise of the lane, re-
volver in his right hand and an ak in
his left. The revolver had been snapped
twice after the first shot, which was
fatal, the ball entering the back on the
left side and coming up through the
heart.
John Lape has been arrested and
locked up charged with the murder.
The husband and wife quarrelled at
times. The dead mans clothes were
not burned with powder.

that John j. Lape was a former hus.
band of Mrs. Lyvere; that she had four
husbands in all, two or three of them

Good News For Miners.

IsHPEMING, Aug. 9.-Captain Thomas
Walters, superintendent of the Lake
Angelina mine, has returned from Mar
quette, where he conferred with Agent
Kidder and succeeded in arranging for
the working of the mine on much more
satisfactory terms than announced
Tuesday. Instead of discharging 800
men and working o-thirds time, only
80 will be let out and 600 men will work
full time at reduction. This retrench-
ment is rendered necessary owing to
the difficulty in raising cash. The mine
has paid $500, 900 in annual dividends
for several years past.

From Ambush.
BAY CITY, Aug. 8.--Mrs. John O'Brien
of Essexville was walking on prairie
road with two children, when someone
fired a shot from ambush, filling her
legs with the charge. The next instant
a second shot rang out, and her 10-year-
old boy fell, his body covered with shot
wounds. The other child, aged A, was
also shot in the hand.
Neighbors were attracted by the
screams, and soon a gang was in search
of the wouldbe murderer. The prairie,
which is covered with bushes, was
searched, but no trace of the shooter
was discovered. The marshal says he
has suspicious, and he and a squad of
officers are working on the case. Doc
tors found Mrs. O'Brien and the eldest
boy painfully wounded, but they will
probably pull through. The affair has
caused the widest excitement in the
village, and it may go hard with the
man If caught.

JACKSON, Aug. 8.-Because his affec-

Mccormick shot Janette Neil yesterday

the girl is at the hospital with every

came there to assist Mrs. Kelly in pre-
pairing for an extended visit at Chicago,
it being the intention that Miss Neil
should accompany her on the journey.

Tennessee VIII Retain the Strip of Dis.
puted Territory


WASHINGTON, April 4.-There will be
no change in the boundary between Vir-
GINA and Tennessee, as prayed for by
tho attorney general OF the former Stat
in bill filed with the Supreme Court in
1859 In that bill Attorney General
Ayres alleged that Tennessee was exer.
cising jurisdiction unlawfully over a
strip of territory from TWO to eight miles
wide from tho North Carolina line, duo
west course, in latitude 81 degrees 30
minutes north to the Kentucky line.
In the territory dot cribcd MIR. Ayres
claimed that serious conflicts of iurisi
diction had arisen, especially over mats
teri connected with tho towns of Bris.
tol, Tenn and Goodson, Va, and his
asked that the agreement letween
the States OF Virginia and Tennee-
see. under which the boundary line had
been established in 1909, be declared
null and void and that Virginia be
quleted in the possession of tho dispu ted
territory lying north OF parallel &c de-
grees 30 minutes.
In an elaborate opinion by Justice
Field, the Supreme Court yesterday do
clined 10 grant the prayer of Virginia.
The opinion went into tho historic |
facts cXhaustively, and discussed tho
law involved. Briefly. the court hold
that inasmuch as the two States had,
in 1903, adopted the report of the boun-
dairy commission that that compact had
b:en implicitly ratified by the Congress
OF tho United States and that FOR a
period OF more than eighty five years
the line laid down by the boundary COM
mission had been recognized as the true
boundary, it would refuse the petition
OF Virginia to now establish new one
Any mark on the old limo that may have
become indistinct or been DESTROYED,
Justice Fold said, could by proper pro-
ceeding a. this term of court be ordered
restored
