This ostensibly lawless act at the

the career Of this papers editor, Bob
l Mcbride. A story Of blasted hopes
and ruined lives is mixed up in this
case. The history Of the immediate
cause of this act Of the citizens Of
Mitchell is briefly told:
Bob Mcbride and John D. Lawler,
president of the First National bank.
We're a number of years ago on friend
~ terms, the two being thrown to-
gether to some extent, the former be-
ing editor of the only Democratic
paper in this section and the latter
prominent in the councils Of the Dem
4 Ocratlc party. ,Lawler married Miss
Ella Sturgis, the beautiful and ac-
complished daughter of Gen., Sturgis,
of the United States army, about nine
years ago and came to Mitchell to
reside. Mr.. Lawler became president
OF the First. National bank at that
time and continued in that position
to the time of his death which oc-
Cured a few days ago. While here
Mrs LAWYERS beautiful and wealthy
widowed sister, Mrs Dousman Of
Prairie du Chen, visited the Lawlers
and happened to meet Mcbride several
times in a social way. Mrs. Dous-
man became attracted by Mcbride, he
being a talented conversationalist and
man of more than ordinary ability
as newspaper writer, and married
him. Soon evidence was secured by
her that he was unfaithful to his mar
rlage vows and she secured divorce.
Then Mcbride began systematic as
sault in his paper upon the Lawler
family, and continued until after the
death of John D. Lawler. This was
too much for the citizens. Mcbride
escaped in buggy. III.
