From Emporia: William Pollock went
before County Attorney W. O. Simpson
and made dispositions against the pro-
prietors Of nearly every drug store in
this city, as also against about all the
Joints, for violation of the Murray pro-
hibitory law. Not only did he give his
own evidence, but he furnished names of
many other witnesses. Warrants we're
sworn out, and as the evidence is posi-
tive, the general impression is that the
violators Of the law will suffer severely,
the more so as Judge w. A. Randolph,
before whom the cases will DO heard, is
q pronounced prohibitionist.
From Toronto: E. P. Barnard, an
octogenarian, shot and killed his
wife, daughter and himself. He left a
letter to his son Arthur, saying he had
''out-lived his usefulness" and had de-
termined, after much elaboration, to kill
his daughter, Cornelia before committing
suicide, on account OF an affection which
made it impossible for her to do anything
in this world. She was born without a
palate and could not talk. Why Bar
nard, killed his wife who was go years
old, is not known. She was sitting in
chair dead, with bible in her lap.
All three were shot in the head. Bar
nard was farmer and was highly re-
spected by all his neighbors.
