MYSTERY SURROUNDS SHOOTING
John Potter shot Near the Heart by
Minnie Richards

Last Sunday evening, in Harper, Kan,
John Potter, in company with some other
boys, were returning from a walk on East
Main street, and when near Ed Cars
residence a shot was heard and John Pot
ter fell to the ground, caused by a ball
entering his left side some three inches
below his heart The shooting was done
by Minnie Richardson, standing in her
fathers yard and using a 22-calibre target
rife belonging TO Ed Rumsey. It is not
thought that the shooting was done with
any evil intent, although Miss Richards
was cautioned by Rumsey not 10 shoot in
that direction, as she might hurt some
one. Potter was taken home and is in a
very critical condition with chances
against him for his recovery. The ball
has not been located. No arrests have
been made, but there will be an investiga-
ton soon

Belonging to AIr. Jones.

The hOrse-stealing indusry continues TO
thrive along with other booming indus
tries in this city. Monday night a horse
was stolen from W. B. Jones, who lives
at the corner Of Oak and Fourth. At the

In nearly every home there are faded and
questionable dresses and coats that can
be dyed with Diamond Dyes so they VIII
look as good as new. Suits for the boys
can be made from the fathers partly worn
clothes. and then colored with Diamond
Dyes TO look Ike new, while dresses and
jackets can be made for the girls with little
work or expense.
Many women dress their families in
handsome, fashionable clothing at a COM

Diamond Dyes are put up specially for
home use, and the directions on each pack
age are so plain that even the mex

c0-ors by using these dyes. They color
anything from ribbons, feathers and waists
10 the heaviest coats and dresses.
There are some fifty colors in the list Of
Diamond Dyes, making all the fashionable
shades. Be sure to use only the Diamond,
as they are the only dyes that have stood
the test Of years and that can be depended
upon for successful home dyeing.

Of his essays in the critical passages,
the literary enthusiasms with which his
