a reporter of the Register sende
us the following additional partic,
ulars of the shooting and attempted
murder, on Salt Greek, on Christ
mas evening. He says:
about six O'Clock on Christmas
evening John Shif1iet attempted
to murder his wife, Ella. The
statement of his victim to your
reporter, is about as follows: Mr.
Shifflet came to her house on Salt
Creek and demanded admittance,
which she refused. He then broke
the door in and pulling a revolver,
threatened to shoot her and her
child. She attempted to make her
escape by the door, when he seized
her and began shooting. Two
balls took effect, one in the left
cheek and the other in the left
arm, near the shoulder, and appa-
rently lodged in her body. Shiffiet
and his wife separated about two
years ago on account of alleged in
fidelity on her part. He will be
remembered as the man who wound
ed Constable John Crump while
attempting to arrest him for assault
ing his wife, about two years ago.

We offer you this season the
largest and finest line of Art Pic
lures and Medallions we have

increase and improve our line for
this year. We have spared no
pains or expense in securing
the most artistic and desirable

amongst the newest and most
attractive pictures in the country.
There is something born within
the soul of every human being
which inspires him to make his
home beautiful and attractive by
means of decorative pictures.
Even the savage, in his crude
way, feels moved by an irresisti-
BILE interest to paint upon the flap
of his wigwam, or carve upon the
walls of his hut, grotesque decor
ations, which, no doubt to his
eye, are looked upon as cart"
In this day and age of intelli-

Gated senses-and through the
wonderful facilities of economical
production now existing, there is
scarcely anything in the way of
