WELLINGTON Lyric Club

The Derthick club was disbandeC
Monday night and recognized under
the name of the Wellington Lyric
club, with the same officers. 1t wa.
done at an open meeting Of the Der
thick club held at tie home Of Mr.
and Mrs. G. E Elliott on North Wash
ington avenue. The change was made
because OF the desire for a local must
cal organization, and a greater FIELD
for musical study.
There was a large attendance at the
meeting Monday night and a Dumbel
of new members we're enrolled. a pleas
ant feature Of the meeting was the
superb musical program rendered by
members Of the Derthick club. Ii
included piano solos by Mrs. l. |
Scott, Mrs. NJ. R. Mclean, Mrs. Ed
Smith, Miss EDITH Garland, aud vocal
solOs by Mrs. W. I. Mcbride and Miss
Calista Martin.

its existence under the most favorable
circumstances, and will no doubt grow
much stronger and be a wonderful
help to its members.

Mutt was questioned by the author.
tiles at the time, and gave the follow
ing account OF the shooting: He and
HWne were returning to the house
after finishing their work, and were
about half way up the path leading
from the grove, Mutt in the lead
about thirty feet distant, when he was
startled by gun shot behind him.
Turning around he found Horne lying
on the ground bleeding, the gun, an
axe and saw at his feet. Hurne was
able to walk to the home Of R. H.
DGdsOn, where wagon was secured
and he was taken TO town. In his
explanation OF the affair, Mutt said
that Horne was carrying the gun, an
axe aud saw, while he carried an axe.
Besides being improbable, this cir
cumstance would make such an injury
as Horne received. impossible. Tes.
timony at the coroner's inquest Mon.
day showed that the wounds received
by Horne were such as would be
received by charge from a gun 10 the
hands Of person about thirty feet
distant-the distance Mutt claimed
they we're apart when the accident
happened. A man named Feese testi.
fed that on Friday, the day after
the shooting. be went TO the
place and found the axe, car.
ried by Mutt, lying alone, and the
axe and saw, carried by Horne. lying
thirty feet back. The gun was gone.
The axe and saw carrid by Hsrne were
covered with blood. The gun, which
Mutt claims Horne was also carrying,
when found contained no blood.
These incidents tend to corroborate
Hornes story that Mutt shot him.
Aud again, the length Of the gun is
such that person could not inhict
such wounds as Horne received, upon
himself through accident.
Upon the evidence brought out at
! the coroDer's inquest Monday Coun-
ty Attorney Rogers has decided to
hold Mutt responsible for the death
Of Horne. The preliminary GAMMA

alton will be held. The time for

The motive for the killing is deeI

until 6 o'clock, and not the slightest
evidence developed to throw any light
upon the cause OF the killing. Nine
