Two men are dead and one
mortally wounded from the

of this county, had at one time
been an inmate Of the insane

mented and but little attention
was paid him, although he often
complained of being mistreated
by members of the family.
Monday after dinner he went to
the barn where his brother Quill
was at work and asked him to
90 hunting with him, stating
that he had seen some game the
day before in the woods not far
from the house. Quill refused
to go, saying that he was too busy
and could not leave his work ct
that time. Warder then returned
to the house where he met his
father and asked him if was 60

stating that he had been mis-,
treated long enough and that he
was not going to put up with 1t

that the young man was somewhat
demented, told him he had better
go and lay down for awhile. This
he refused to do and said that he
wanted to seeQuill who was work

for and as he was entering the
house Warder drew a revolver
and fred at his brother, the ball
entering his mouth and passing
through his neck, and as his vic

the shot gun and emptied the con-
tents of one barrel in his body,
causing instant death.

the house and walked leisurely

The Lone Woman Traveller.

| The new woman, doesn't propose to
miss the delights of travel simply for
lack of a protector. She knows how to
| take care of herself and when she
starts off on a little journey nowadays
it isn't with the nervous dread that
something's going to happen before she
, reaches her destination-if ever she
does-but she proceeds at once to make
herself comfortable and to thoroughly
enjoy her little rub up against the
outside world.
But although she rests secure in a
delightful feeling of safety, it has never
occurred to the general woman that
making her to travel in safety is a
business all in itself.
She may have heard, for example,
that the great New York Central rail-
road is the only route in the United
States that is completely equipped with
the world-famous lock and block sys-
tenn of signals, but that doesn't mean
anything to her until you explain that
by this system every foot over which
she travels is carefully and unceasing-
~ watched and signaled day and night;
that collision is practically impossible,
because a train cannot enter a given
block or section until the train ahead
has passed out, and that even if there
should be another train following on
the same track, the engineer knows all
ABOUT II throusn me eiecCIlc IeleSl dpu
which is part of the tystem, thus max
ing assurance doubly sure.
If the lone woman happens to be go
ing to New York City, she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con-
fusion of a big, strange place, if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one of the
red-capped attendants-free service
who will carry her bag, answer her
questions, and show her to cab, car, or
elevated train.
Another thing, she lands right in the
heart of the city, within a step of
dozen or more of it's leading hotels
and she should bear in mind that this
is the only railroad depot in all New
York City.
The New York Central might aptly
be called "the lone woman's route

The Little Carisa.

Hon. C. V. Wheeler of the South
Swansea, who is in from Silver City,
states that this property is holding it's
own in a most gratifying manner.
In speaking of the southern end Of
Tintic district, Mr.. Wheeler stated that
a large amount of effective work was
being done in that locality and with
very encouraging results. and he ex-
pressed the opinion that in course of
five years Silver City would be as large
a camp, if not larger, than Eureka.
Mr.. Wheeler also referred to the re-
cent strike in the Little Carisa, adj
joining the Rabbits Foot, and he as
sured The Herald scribe that the strike
in this property was genuine, and that
in the bottom of the 140-foot shaft the
entire width of the workings was in
ore running high in silver and "copper"
the shaft having followed down a body
of rich mineral for a hundred feet, at
least.
The Little Carisa is owned by Lowry
and his partner, and is without doubt
the making of a bonanza proposition.

added to his testimony given Saturday
a few instances wherein his father had
driven him away from home, and this

aroused against one of defendant s
brothers, and taking GD oitchfork,
stuck it in his back. Also that on an
other occasion the deceased got angry
with his wife. and with his flst struck
her to the ground.
Mrs. Doulson, wife of the deceased
and mother of the defendant, was next
called. She testified TO her late hus-
hands ungovernable temper and the
defendants peaceableness, relating that
the former had often struck the latter
with his fists, knocking him to the
ground, and often, too, seriously hurt
ing and bruising him, and that at one
time he even went so far as to run
after his son, the defendant, with a
knife, intending to use it on him DUR
ing his wild fit of fury.
Misses Octavia and Rosa Poulson,
sisters to the defendant. added testi-
mony substantially the same as that
already given.

and the jurors gone to their room to
