"The-e was q very sensational affair in this
county last night and this morning. Miss
Abbie Oliver of Sturgis, Union county, the
beautiful young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor Oliver, was ruined about eight
months ago. Henry Delaney young drug
clerk Of Sturgis, was charged with causing
her downfall de denied it and both parties
sought legal advice, but 40 proceedings we're
held in court. Last night about o'clock the
mother of the girl entered DelRney's place OF
business in Sturgis and at the point of her
pistol forced him to accompany her to
carriage outside, in which her husband and
daughter were seated. The four drove TO
MOrgnBfield, distance of fifteen miles, and
at 3 o'clock license was secured aud the
couple were married. he party started
home but when abJut three miles from
Morgantield four armed men on horseback
surrounded the carriage aud began shoot
ing. After the first shot Delaney jumped
out of the vehicle aud ran to the attacking
party VINO we're supposed to be his friends
and the firing continued. Miss Oliver was
shot through the head and her father in the
face and right arm Mrs. Oliver escaped
without wound. Sue ran the team at full
speed for a mile down the road and turned in
az farm house The attacking party fol
lowed, shooting at every jump. The girl, who
would have given birth to a child soon, was
fatally wounded, and died at o'clock this
morning. Mr. Oliver is fatally wounded.

that his injuries are necessarily
fatal Late this afternoon George

Baking Bricks by Electricity.

A Milwaukee man has invented q
machine for baking bricks by electric
.ity. The machine is a simple contriv-
ance, consisting Of a table covered
with iron bricks molds, to which the
electric current is applied. The table
is 14x9 feet and holds 1000 molds,
which are joined together like a lot
of pigeon holes" Each mold is the
size of a brick which has been pressed
but not baked, and each has a loose,
cover SO fitted as to- follow the brick
as it shrinks. The bricks are taken
from the presses and placed in the
molds the covers adjusted and the cur
rent turned on. The iron sides of the
molds form the "resistance'' and the
bricks are virtually inclosed by walls
of fire. When the bricks have shrunk
to the right size, the sinking covers
of the molds automatically turn off the
current, the baking is done and the
bricks are dumped. When bricks are
burned by the ordinary process, three
days are taken for the baking. BY his
process he claims that he can bake
them in three and a half hours. 1t is
claimed at the same time that the
bricks are baked harder and better
than by the present process.
