his mind was always on his work. From

Few persons, even with the strongest
constitutions, can keep up under such a

In addition to his studies, Mr.. Kemper
was teaching school some three miles
from his home. Finally, his excessive study
and the exposure OF going to and from
school In all kinds Of weather undermined
his health.
He was taken to his bed with pneumonia

MYSTERIOUS MURDER AT ENID
Dead Body of Al. q. Fulton Found in
a straw stack

Enid, o. II, Dec. T-CSpecial.}-The
community was shocked at the finding Of
the dead body Of Al C. Fulton in a straw
stack on the farm of Martin Gerber. four
miles east of Enid, last Thursday night.
Fulton was seen alive last Saturday
evening in the Club saloon, in company
with parties from the country who have
not been identified. An examination of
the body shows two bullet wounds in the
head, the bail in each instance passing
clear through. a coroner's inquest is now
being held and there are numerous theo-
ries as to why and how the deceased was
killed, but the most plausible one now
is that he was connected with or knew
of the commission of several crimes that
have lately been perpetrated, and was
killed in order to effectually close his
mouth. Fulton was a single man, and
during the past summer worked for Long
Brothers in running a threshing machine.
Il is stated that his father is an employe
