The explosion was caused by the shingle coming in contact with a package of toy pistol caps in the lads hip pocket.

He is now filling by appointment the unexpired term of Fletcher Fairchild, deceased, and has made an efficient and economical official. He has shown spirit of fair ness in exercising the duties of his office that has made friends for him in both parties. There is no use in dis putting the fact that if he receives :he nomination from his party he will carry the full strength of the Democratic vote and is likely to draw some votes from the OpnosinU marty

was forced witness of the different
stages of the tragedy, the physician
taking her with him in his buggy as
he went from place to place on his

be trouble caused by Harrington's hav-
ing been expelled from the Masonic

with his wife and drove her from
home, threatening her life. He had
had words with James Wallace over a
line fence and been on protracted
yar

ton drove half mile to the home of
Mrs. William Wallace and again de-
manded to know of his wife. To Mrs.

ing of Mrs. Harrington, the physician
shot her dead before she could make
an outcry.

Leayenworth, taking his little girl
with him. He purchased some cart

at the sheriff. the ball entering Dill
hngham's forehead. Harrington mo-
ment later stepped over the body Of
the dying sheriff and started to run.
He had gone but few rods, when a
shot from the revolver of Harry Dill
hngham, son of the sheriff, brought
him to the ground. Both Sheriff Dill
llngham and Harrington died within a
few minutes.
