WENT TO THE HEART.


An examination of the body disclosed
that the bullet from Felkers gun en-
tered in front on the left side and came
out at the back. It had evidently gone
straight through the heart.
When Cunningham fell dead on the
floor of his wife's bedroom, Mrs. Cum
ningham tainted and remained uncon-
scious several hours. At o'clock she
was reported to be in a very low condi-
ton.
Attorney Joseph Rice, counsel for
Cunningham, states that Cunningham
came to his office after being released on
bonds yesterday afternoon and showed
letter from his wife, in which she
invited him to call and see her. He
asked what he should do.
II advised him. said Mr.. Rice, mot
to so to the house unless ne took some
one with him, and under no circum-
stances to make any trouble. Finally
my partner, c. G. Kohl. decided to go
with him and did SO. The wife, on see
ing her husband, threw her arms around
him and kissed him and said everything
was forgiven. She asked him to come
whenever he desired. This morning l
had another talk with Cunningham
about going to see his wife. 1 told him
that II everything was all right he
might go to see her, but to never go
alone. and be llreful that he got into
no trouble with Mrs. Cunnighams
mother and brother That was the last
] saw of him.
Il do not hesitate to say that I do
not believe Cunningham started the
trouble today" concluded Mr.. Rice
When Cunningham went to the house
today. he took with him Ed McKinstry,
one of his employees at the Cash lodging
house. McKinstry and Minnie Higgins,
who was nursing Mrs. Cunningham,
were in the front room. adjoining the
bedroom where the killing took place.
In the pockets of the dead man. Coro-
ner Brown found three notes which had
evidently been written to him for Mrs.
Cunningham by Felker. They bear no
dates but the one which was evidently
written first reads:

Yesterday afternoon Cunningham went
out to the house to see his wife and was
told that he might come again. He went
out again today about IL o'clock. He
sat and talked with his wife for some
time in the presence of Mrs. Cunning

asked, according to the mothers story,
two or three times if they would not
go out and get him something to eat,
but they, being afraid Of him, refused
to leave him alone with his Wife.
About 1:30 this afternoon, it is stat
ed, Cunningham finally said to the
mother and brother, that he would like

mother left the room, but Felker said he
would not leave Cunningham in the

arrest. Shortly afterward Mr.. Lam
bert was arraigned before Mayor
Simpson, who fined the accused the
minimum penalty of the offence. which
is $50.

cation forwarded to the Court of APP

1t is incredible that British statesmen

Acker and the Lewis factions the for
mer controlling the Federal patronage

fight for possession of the stage in AS
sembly Hall, where the meeting was
held, and the police force Of the town,
reinforced by several deputy sheriffs,
was required to restore order. The
fight was over the temporary organiZa-
ton of the meeting. Chairman Keezle,
of the Acker organization, had decli lined
to enroll delegates from a number of
precincts which the Lewis people
claimed, but from which contests had
been instituted for the sole purpose, as
the latter alleged, Of preventing them
from organizing the convention. After
a test vote, the result of which was
not agreed upon by the tally clerks,
the insurgent element made rush for
the stage, with the declared intention
of seating their chairman by force, If
necessary. Canes, CLUBS and chairs were
brandished, and a general melee fol-
lowed Ex-senator John Acker receiv=
ed a blow which felled him, and sew
eral others were badly used up. When
order was restored each faction COM
pIeted a. separate organization, and
two meetings were held simultaneous
ly, with dual organizations on the
same platform. Mr.. Acker presided for
his faction, and Dr. J. B. Webb for the
opposition, Contesting delegations were
chosen to the district convention at

ton at Norfolk. Separate county or

Concerning Pe,ticoats.

Flannel petticoats or short petticoats
are made with just as much care as
are skirts of gowns They should be
cut in front so that they will not make
the waist-line bulky. and must be fin
ished with a very narrow binding. aud
with the fulness over the front and
sides put into seams or side darts.
Even in the back the fulness is as
much warred against as possible by
using the fattened pleat. This design
seems 10 be more possible than the
fitted yoke, excepting with the heavy
flannel petticoat. and this Is shocking.
ly questionable just now, anyway.
4 yoke OF fine cambric is much less
cumbersome than flannel could posi-
bly, be. The flannel skirts are finished
with silk embroidered or lace edged
ruGles, or with ruffles cut into scallops
and embroidered, with the lace sewed
below the scallOps. The petticoats are
quite wide around the edge. and n
very clever plan TO prevent their wear
Ing out too soon is TO have extra gus
sets put in halfway down the side
seams. This does not interfere with
the fit of the petticoat. and yet gives
more width directly across the front,
where the tight-ftting petticoat is very
apt TO show signs OF wear.-Harper' =
Bazaar.
