thereby hangs a tale which is quite ro-

Court at LeavenwOrth.

On Trial in the Crawford County Circuit
Court at LeavenwOrth.
CoRYDoN, June 90 Especial = The
Crawford county circuit court convenes
at Leavenworth today. The most i'm
portsnt case, and the one that is watched
with a great deal of interest, is the case of
the state ys. William J. McDermott,
charged by DR.. Luckett as concealing
stolen goods
Tuesday, May 3, 1892, DR.. Luckett found
q watch at ]. L. Jones jewelry shop at
English. which was placed there by Nc
Dermott for repairs and which Luckett
claims was one of the watches stolen from
his store in October, 1890, and which Nc
Dermott explained was given him by
Luckett as q present.
In December, 1891. McDermott, Luck
EFT and eight others formed a
stock company and started a
newspaper plant at English. of which Nc
Dermott was made editor and manager of
the Office.
Difficulties arose between the two men
as to the management of the business, and
the maj ajority of the stockholders agreed
that McDermott was most always in the
right. McDermott is also a reporter of
the metropolitan press and was accused
by several persons with writing articles TO
the city press about people which were
detrimental to the town and county, when
in fact they wrote them themselves or
had some one else to send them and
shifted the blame on McDermott, who was
entirely blameless and who knew nothing
about them until they appeared in print.
IL is thought that the motive for the suit
grows out of this correspondence, but for
which McDermott is not responsible.

Hon. G. G. Offutt of this city, attempted
to kill herself. using as a weapon butcher

Mrs. Price has been laboring under de-

a set of false teeth when on q visit
to Washington, d. c.. not long since, and
it preyed heavily on her mind. She gives
the reason for the attempt to take her life
that the doctors would not cut out the
teeth and she determined to extract them
herself. Another reason she gives for
self-destruction is. that it had been de-
cided to send her to the asylum, and that
she was to be taken on the 4th of July,
and rather than suffer this she came to
the conclusion TO kill herself. Her hus-
band returned home just in time to save
her life, but she says she will complete the
