AN AWFUL TRAGEDY.
Terrible Deed of Texas Father An.
gered Mt Elopement and Mar
riaEe of His Daughter.

Longview, Tex, Sept. 13.-Panola
county, especially Beckville, is excited
over terrible triple tragedy. The
trouble started with the marriage of
James Forsythe, highly respected
young man, and Miss Ollie Simpson, a
belle of the neighborhood. 1t seems
that Forsythe did not have the approval
of the girls father, Andrew Simpson,
for the hand of his daughter, but with
several young men in the neighborhood
he succeeded in clipping with the young
lady and they We're married Saturday
night. This so angered the old gentle
man that when he learned of the we'd
ding Monday evening he saddled nis
horse and loaded a d <lble-barreled shot
gun and took his pistol, declaring he
would kill the whole party concerned.
AS he rode up to Forsythe's home he
saw his son-in-law fleeing through the
orchard. He brought him down with
seven buckshot in the groin, leaving
him for dead. He then rode toward the
house. King H. Forsythe, father of
James, came out unarmed to see what
the trouble was, and was instantly
killed with load of buckshot in the
abdomen. Simpson then dismounted
and ran into the house with his pistol,
saying he would kill his daughter, but
the mother of young Forsythe ran be-
tween them and held his pistol until the
girl was helped away. Simpson then
walked out the front gate, put the pistol
/ to his forehead, killing himself instant
ly. Young Forsythe is desperately
wounded, but may recover. All stores
in Beckville are closed and business in
general is suspended on account of the
tragedy

Voting Precincts.

At the April session of the board of
Supervisors the division of the towns
of Alton and Howard were each di-
yided into two election precincts, and
at the September session officers were
appointed to take charge of the
election in each. That the voters may
know in which precinct they belong
we copy the division as recorded in
proceedings of the April session:
Precinct No. l, of Alton is composed
of section one to 1S inclusive, in 97-l4,
and 10 to SO in 1914.
Precinct No. 2, in Alton, to be COM
posed section one to Is inclusive, in
98-14.
Howard is divided into two precincts
as follows:
Precinct No. l, to be composed of
section one to Is inclusive, in 97-l3,
and of sections 10 to SO inclusive. in
9S-13.
Precinct No. 2, to be composed of
section one to Is inclusive, in 1913.
Bearing these facts in mind the vot
ers will readily see where their voting
place is in the county.

ROUGH RxDERS " THE w0RxD
Protivin News.

Mr.. Albert Lukesh and wife attend
ed funeral at Spillyille last Sunday.
Father Vrba, of Ft. Atkinson, was
very much surprised when he came
home from Protivin to see that the
awful flames of fire had devoured his
house.
Mr.. Philip Bouska is preparing for
a trip to Canada.
From another correspondent
Our faithful friends, Messrs. Lukes
and Fencl, have returned from their
pleasure trip and report having a
happy time.
The cool nights we are now having
cause sound sleep and bring refresh
ment to both body and mind.
Mr.. Frank Sobolik reports having
harvested 8 acres of flax the 9th day
of September, and says it is good
crop. Mr.. Sobolik now lives on the
farm formerly owned by grandpa w.
Converse.
Mr.. Frank Tupy is having a
fine residence built on his farm.
Joseph Yarosh is the architect.
We are informed that j. V. Schiller
contemplates buying a valuable piece
of property in town.
Mr.. George Huber, of Cresco, passed
+: through our town last Tuesday.
George belongs to the reliable and
extensively spread Huber family.
There was party of farmers out
last week hunting prairie chickens.
All they found was a few old stray
chickens which flew up far ahead of
them.
Some of the children in town are
learning bad habit too early. They
pick up the stumps of waste cigars,
hide away and smoke them. Parents
and everyone should try to prevent
this.
The alligator that was spoken of in
last weeks Protivin news has not been
captured yet. One of our wise citizens
advises the town to employ the services
of those men who were shooting prairie
chickens before the legal time, and
they will quickly rid the town of this
abominable serpent. Yes, the advice
of our wise citizen is good, it is self
evident that he believes in the
the English proverb-"Set the devil
to fight the devil"
Some people become vicious if their
horse dies when they misuse him. To
such the following poem would be Of
service if committed to memory:
A horse will draw the burden
If fed on corn and hay,
But he will not draw it far
Ii used in tyrannical way.
| There is a vast amount of money
expended daily in attempting to
govern and civilize savage race OF
people thousands of miles away far
away in the torrid zone. How much
wiser and respectable it would be if
| this money instead of being foolishly
squandered were placed for the benefit
of educational ms titutions and edu-
the poor of our land.
