MY DEAR TFIxY-We are making up din
ner party for the evening of June 2, at 8
you and Mr.. Marsden. Write instantly to say
you accept. 1t is an age since I've seen you,
and my husband is absolutely devoted to Mr..
Marsden. he was telling me only minute
ago that one reason why he goes by the train
is to get the benefit Of your husbands con-
versation. With much love, yours affection
ately, FLORENCE LESLIE.
P. SIT does seem shame that Mr.. Mars-
den should have to waste an evening on a set
Of stupid people, and If no can't tear himself
from his books, then you will take home a
scolding to him from me.
P. ST. Mr.. Marsden will not condescend,
bring Godfrey to take care of you and tell
him that we shall expect some music.

A Tragedy in Carson.

U. S. District Attorney Jones was
shot and instantly killed in Carson
last Tuesday by Julian Guinan, the
16-year-old son of Or. Guinan, a
prominent physician OF Carson. 1t
seems that,Jones, a married man, was
too attentive to Miss Guinan. The
doctor had repeatedly warned him to
discontinue his attentions, and one
time threatened to kill him if be did
not desist. Last Tuesday Jones met
Miss Guinan opposite her fathers
house in Carson, and while talking
to him, DIR. Guinan came along and
accosted Jones. Young Guinan sta
toned himself at an upper window
OF his house with Marlin rifle. He
feared that Jones would assault his
father, aad when Jones thrust his
right hand into his overcoat pocket,
the boy ired the fatal shot. The bull
let struck Jones in the temple, caus-
ing instant death.
The preliminary examination Will
be held in Carson to-day.
