on the certificates of election the repub-

A Leap for Lifa.

II is,indeed' pretty, hard lines when a
 man works hard from day to day,
 striving to make living and. save up something for rainy day, for the sup. port of his family, to go home some night and find the woman he has trust ed for years in close intimacy with sonother man, in, your own home and, in the presence of your own children. As bad as 1t seems, vet such was the condi- tion of affairs that graated a business man of our town on going home Satur- day night last. The husband went in the back door just in time to see the other fellow going out of the front door, and running to that door he fired .. shot from his six-shooter as the fleeing figure landed the other side Of the picket fence. The fleeing party then jumped over low board fence, but failed to look before he jumped and landed on top of a ladder at the bottom of a twenty-six foot embanKment, but even this failed to stop him, and when last seen he was making worlds record down one of our principal thorough fares. The enraged' husband, in com pany with on officer, hunted at the bot tom of the embankment for signs of party No. ?, but the broken ladder was all that showed the man had been there. Thus ended the first chapter. The second chapter opens with the husband taking his meals down town, and will undoubtedly end in divorce suit at the next term of the district cout.
