Morrison married his deceased wife
about seventeen Years ago. At one
time they lived in California, then in
Oklahoma Territory. from which place
they moved to Pan Handle, Tex, where
the crime was committed. He was
born and raised in Illinois, and went
to school at Carbondale There he be-
came acquainted with Miss Anna Whit
telesey. who subsequently moved with
her parents to topeka, Kan.
In August, previous to the poisoning
of his wife in October, 1897, Morrison
met Miss Whittelesey, his school day
sweetheart, ascertained her financial
condition and made offer of marriage.
He pretended that his wife had been
dead eleven years; that he had quit
preaching; had been successfully en-
gagged in the cattle business for eight
years and owned a ranch near Higgins,
Tex.
On his return to Texas he began
correspondence with Miss WhitteIesev,
urging his proposition of marriage,

That same afternoon the terrier drove

how to get the tiger out where they could

The gallant little fellow was covered with
cuts and blood. Capt Burton washed
the blood off with water from a canteen
and gave him a drink. Then before they
could stop it the dog darted back into
the bushes and renewed the battle.
Capt. Burton decided that the only way
to keep the tiger from killing his pet was
to go into the bush after it, and he
crept in, and, while the beast was in the
act of striking the terrier, he took a snap
shot that brought the man-eater down
on the instant. The bull terrier was cut
up so badly that it was unable to move,
