NEVADA, Mo-, June about 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon one of the
bloodiest tragedies ever enacted in this
city occurred at ]. b. Noes second
hand store on North Cedar street It
resulted in the death of Henry Anthony
at the hands of his father-in-law, John
Blair, who filled the victim with lead
and then savagely cut his throat from
ear to ear. 1t was terrible butchery.
The dead man was almost floating in
a pool of his own blood before the
final cutting was done by his infuri-
ated slayer. The terrible deed was
witnessed by perhaps 100 men and
boys who had been drawn to the
spot by the reports of the revolver
shots The dead man had married one
daughter of Blair's and ruined another.
His wife left him three months ago
and sued for divorce Anthony came
back here last week and in an in ter
view with his wife cholxed her and
threatened to kill her if she did not

miles northeast of town, accompanied

ing occurred in a few hours thereafter.

No Longer Any Doubt That White Metal
Advocates Will Run the Democratic Con-

WASHINGTON, June Elm view of
results of the Kentucky county con-
ventions, it is now regarded as certain
by men of all parties and shades of
opinion on the financial question that
the democratic national convention
will be controlled by the friends of
free coinage of silver. If the sound
money men had captured Kentucky,
the fight would have continued with
hopes of success elsewhere. Now,
however, it is practically admitted
that the sound money men will be far
in the minority at Chicago, and that
the responsibility of declaring the
party policy will rest almost entirely
with the silver men. 1t is proba BILE
that the Chicago convention will have
about 57s free coinage delegates to 344
sound money I.cn.
