A shooting affair is reported to have
taken place in Carbonate last Saturday,
in which one man made a deadly as.
sault on another. According to the re-.
port furnished The Gazette reporter, it
seems that Geo. Yoekman was jealous
of his wife and thought one Ben Peel,
a deliveryman, was paying her more
attentions than he should: On Satur-
day morning Peel came to the Yoek.

While standing at the door talking to
Mrs. Yoekman, her husband appeared

hands, Peel ran in the house and
when Yoekman came down off the root
he started to run away. He had gone
but about thirty yards from the house
when Yoekman blazed away at him,
the shot taking effect in the head and
back. At last reports the injured man
was alive, although the wound was
bad one.

A Good Audience Pleased with Miss
Clara Thropp and Company.
Miss Clara Thropp, the talented
young comedienne, who ranks among
the best of Americas greatest women
on the stage, found royal welcome on
her first appearance in this city last
night, and she won a warm spot in
the hearts of our theater .goers.
"a Dolls House, leaves but little
room for the critic to display his
nerve, but the ending of the play fails
to satisy it's auditors 1t ends too
abruptly and at point when one ex-
poets, or rather wishes for reconcilia-
tion between the husband and wife, but
it leaves a place for one to draw on
their imagination. Miss Thropp as
Mora" the doll-wife, was all that one
could wish for. Her every movement
was one of gracefulness and her acting
was grand. The play is one in whic6
the leading lady is about the only part;
which is the only unredeeming feature
of it. OF course, there were other
parts, but they melt away into insig-
nificance when compared with that of
Mora The support of Miss Thropp
was as good as the average.
We are glad to announce that Miss
Thropp will visit Billings next Septem-

will be sure to receive splendid recep-

one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrf. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutiona1 treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
1y upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building ZIP
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing it's work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.
