He WAS STABBED
Roy Dennis Accidentally Cut
by Smith Byrd.
LEFT LUNG PENETRATED
Telegram Sent to His Father
and Brother.

Roy Dennis, mention Of whom was made
in yesterdays Eagle. was stabbed through
the left lung Monday night in DIR. Nc
Clee's office, over Parham's drug store.
He was very low al day yesterday and
last night, and not expected TO live.
The trouble was accidental There was
nobody present except DR.. McClees, Roy
Dennis and Smyth Byrd. They all tell
about the same story, in general agreeing
that it was accidental, though they differ
considerably in detail. Roy is reported TO
have said TO his mother yesterday that
If he should die he didn't want anyone TO
blame Byrd, for he didn't mean to do it..
From what could be gathered, the acct
dent seemed TO have occurred about this
way: Dennis and Byrd went from the
drug store up to DR.. McClees' Office, and
was waiting for the storm 10 blow over
They had been drinking some. DR.. Nc
Clees was in bed, but got up, and all three
were jollying around in a conversation
One Of the boys got hold of a surgeons
knife. and Notwithstanding DR.. McCIees'
caution, they handled it rather freely.
Byrd said: 81 could kill man with this"
Dennis threw back his arms and said,
leaning toward BYRD: I'm from Mis-
souri,; show me"' Byrd put the sharp
point 10 Dennis left breast and in a sec
ond it had shot through his left lung just
above the heart. Whether they leaned to-
gether or whether Byrd showed harder
than he thought is not known. Byrd says
he had the handle Of the knife placed
against his breast, and it is thought that
the boys just stumbled together.
A telegram was sent to Mr.. Tom Den
mis-, Roy's father, at Harper last night,
that Roy was not expected to live. A
message was also sent to Roys brother,
Fred Dennis, at Kingman, and they are
expected here today
Young Dennis did not attempt to COM
nit suicide, as some people thought, from
reading the article in yesterday mornings
Eagle. The door of the Office where the
accident occurred was locked. so that no
one could get in, and the excitement Of
the attendants made it impossible 10 get
a statement over the telephone. 1t was
known that something was the matter
with Roy Dennis and that was all

RYRD'S STATENIENT.

Smyth Byrd is a stepson OF Mr.. George
Walker, and has always been a fast friend
OF young Dennis. He said
I'VE were in Dr. McClees' Office, but
were going on pretty soon. I got a sur
geon's knife out of the case and stuck il
in my hip-pocket. Roy attempted to get
it, and in doing so stuck the blade through
the bottom of the pocket and down
through the side of the pantaloon's leg. I
took it out and told him to look out. Then
said, believe I'll commit suicide and
with that threw the knife up as though
I was going to stab myself. except I threw
the handle around and rested it on my
breast. 1 said I could kill a man with
the blade, and Roy said, We'll, I'm from
Missouri and fell up against the blade -

told them that they had better put the
knife away or one Of them would get hurt.

in and said: Doc, I've stabbed Roy I

ADMIRAL DEWEY'S HEALTH.

The news brought by Captain Fraser
of the English army, from Manila, is
not cheering. He says: II dined with
Admiral Dewey. He Is in poor health
and certainly should be ordered home.
He has aged much. His hair is very
white He Is an unassuming man and
brave commander. The strain which
he has undergone is very great" This
report has brought out the statement
that there is no official evidence on file
at the Navy department that the Adj
miral is showing signs of strain. 1t has
also brought out the statement that
some time ago the President feared
that the great strain Dewey was I'm
der might overtaX him, so he cabled
him, through Secretary Long, permits
sion to return to the United States.
The Admiral declined to avail himself
of this permission, and asked permits
sion to stay, saying that in his opinion,
duty required that he should finish the
task he had begun at Manila. The
President accepted this statement, and
Admiral Dewey remains by his own
wish; he is free to return to the United
States whenever he cares to do so, and
the department will then relieve him
by cabled orders.
1t is not at all surprising that re-
ports that Admiral Dewey is feeble are
going the rounds. And 1t would not be
surprising if they should turn out to
be true. He is in his sixty-second
year. Some years ago he suffered q
severe surgical operation for the relief
of his liver. He has had a most
troublesome and exacting experience
since he sailed into Manila bay. And
the Philippine climate isn't good for
white men. If Admiral Dewey is feeble
it is to be hoped that he will allow
himself to be relieved before it is too
late. He has done great work and
done 1T to the entire satisfaction of his
and appreciative countrymen
They don't want to see him sink under
a burden which. If necessary, can now
be laid upon others.

THE Pollution or sTREAMs.

People who are polluting and who are
planning to pollute streams by dis
charging sewage into them might find
profit in considering an opinion which
has just been given by Chancellor Nc
Gill, of New Jersey. The city OF Pater-
son discharges its sewage into the Pas
sale river. Recently the city proposed
to increase the number of sewers, and
the Passaic Valley Anti-Pollution So
ciety made an application for an in
junction. TO this application the city
demurred Chancellor McGill overruled
the demurrer and filed an opinion with
his decision in which he declares that
no one has the right to pollute a stream.
The contention that the legislature in
authorizing the construction of sewers
granted by implication the right to dis
charge the sewage into the river Is de-
MED. In his opinion the Chancellor lays
down the law upon the subject at some
length and with great clearness. The
ownership of the banks above the point
to which the tide goes, he says, extends
to the middle of the stream, and the
owners are entitled to have the water
flow to them unpolluted, that they may
use it for domestic purposes, and, with
in reasonable limits, for business or 9TH
er purposes Among the complainants
in the case were the mayor and alder
men of Jersey City. In the opinion of
the Chancellor the inhabitants of Jersey
City had suffered a special damage The
legislature had granted to that city the
right to take pure and wholesome wa
ter from the river. 1t established
pumping station, and the injury to the
city consists not only in the deprecia-
ton of the value of the pumping plant,
but also in deprivfng the people of the
city of the use Of the water.
1t is we'll to know that it is illegal to
pollute streams, and it would be better
If more efforts to prevent the pollution
of them were made.

THE LAW And ORDER LEAGUE.

The Law and Order league is under
discussion again, as we suppose it will
continue to be at intervals as long as it
lives and works. The same old argu-
ments are brought against it. We are
told that it is not regular" part Of
the machinery for the enforcement of
law, and also that it's methods" are not
what they ought to be. 1t certainly IL
not a regular" part of the machinery
for the enforcement Of law, but it's ir-
regularity is in some measure, and
many think abundantly, atoned for by
it's achievements. 1t has done much
that the regular machinery wasn't doing
and probably wouldn't have done. AS
to its methods" they do not seem to
be any worse than the methods to
which they are opposed. 1t has given
some lawbreakers opportunities to
commit the crimes which they were in
the habit of committing when oppor-
tunity offered itself or was offered
There has been some queer and not alto
gether reasonable sympathy with those
who have fallen into the "tra ps" Of the |
Law and Order league, and the notion
seems to be held in some quarters that |
it is more wicked for the Law and Order !
league to set traps than it is for law
breakers to fall into them. 1t also seems |
to be thought by some that it is more |
wicked for the irregular Law and Order |
league to set traps than it is for the |
regular" legal force to set similar
traps.
We don't suppose that Law and Or |
der league managed by spotless and ef-
fcient angels would suit law-breakers
and those who are, for one reason or an
other, with them. 1t is not strange that
aw-breakers and their friends are not
suited with the present human arrange
ment. But there are many who feel
that the league is doing work that needs
10 be done, and doing it in a way that is
at least no more cunning and wicked |
than the law breaking against which it
works and plots.

about 275 miles of ditch. The State has

that, lands that were periously arabic

FASHION NOTES.
Fringe SIN Urged.

Fringe trimming didn't meet with
great favor VIXEN it was first advanced
recently, and did not come anywhere
near gaining that popularity that
quickly makes a fashion too common.
For that reason 1t is still seen in the
output of dressmakers of good stand
ing, and, somehow, the latter dresses
that employ it seem more attractive
than did the earlier models. All this
may indicate that its popularity was
merely delayed not prevented. Ger
tainly this pictured dress was attrac-
tive enough in its originality to count

as an argument In favor Of fringe fin
ish Its material was biscuit colored
ladies' cloth. The bolero and the band
edging the overskirt were made OF
white satin plaid with lavender velvet
ribbon. The fringe was black silk. 1t
is sure sign that fringe finish is all
right for those who like 1t to see it
employed in so original a dress.
Only a slender woman with a well
shaped back can stand the belt wldened
by long buckle at the back and mar
row to about an inch in front. Ribbon
belts are much worn, though the sash
belt is out of favor. Most ribbon belts
fasten at once side of the front, and as
a rule the bow Is made part of the dec
Grafton of the bodice, though some
times there are merely down sweeping
streamers. There is still a fancy for
Chiffon sashes, very full and edged
with putting. For evening gowns such
a sash is matched exactly to the shade
of the skirt.
Fashions in finger rings favor cluster
settings, and there is some telk of
wearing a ring on the index finger.
Only perfect hand can stand this. and
even a perfect hand looks better with
the small and third finger ringed The
thumb ring is ugly and affected but

address at Chicago the other day he
said: "In Toxic the Young Mems

mics and leading men of the industries
Of the country, and it is becoming the
centre of the life Of the young men of

Government are Christians. A short

of Christ are reaching the influential

English, and the Bible was his textbook.
IT was in this way that he became
conyert to Christianity. He was the
son Of a wealthy and important Bud

her his conversion was estranged from
his family, but recently, in spite Of his
positiou as a Christian worker, was
taken back into favor.

Colonel San Martin of the Spanish
army has come to an UNHAPPY end. When
General Miles arrived at Ponce in Porto
Rico, San Martin commanded force of
j, 1000 men in the town, but was so sur
prised that he made no attempt at re-
eistance, and fell back through the
island to San Juan. When he reached
the Porto Rican capital he was court
martialed, by order of Captain General
Macias, and condemned to be shot. The
unfortunate colonel begged that he
might die in Spain. This request, in
view Of the fact that he had won six
medals by bravery in battle was granted
Meanwhile General Brooke and other
Americans who had been engaged in
the campaign petitioned for clemency,
showing the Spanish authorities that
Colonel San Martin could not possibly
have done otherwise than retire. De-
spite the fact that he did the best he
could under the circumstances the Span
ish war department has sentenced him
Tor life to a penal settlement.
