A JEALOUS HUSBAND SHOT.
HAD QUARRELLED WITH MAN HE MET

Edward Leasure. twenty-five years old. of No
131 Fffty-third-st.. Brooklyn, was arrested last
night for shooting George Crotty. He was
locked up in the Fourth-ave. station. Leasure
had been living in the same house as Mr.. and
Mrs. Crotty.
Crotty is an electrician thirty-eight years old.
Leasure had been attentive to Mrs Crotty.
The two went to Manhattan yesterday after
noon, and. returning, got off at Fifty-third-
st. station of the Fifth-ave. elevated road at 10
o'clock last night. AS they started home Crotty
jumped out from the porch of No 16I Fifty
thrd-st. and confronted them. A quarrel fol-
lowed, and blows were exchanged. Leasure
pulled out a revolver and shot Crotty twice.
The latter fell to the ground. He was afterward
taken to the Norwegian Hospital where he died
at L a. m. He had not regained consciousness.
While shooting. Leasure dropped some photo
graphs. Mrs. Crotty picked them up and ran
away with them. The police think they may
have some bearing the case.
Leasure admitted last night, the police say
that he did the shooting, but he insists he did it
in self-defence The police were unable to find
the revolver used by Leasure.

London. March %. a. m-Dispatches from

Of General Buffers army. These are based upon
the formation of a volunteer ambulance corps

These proofs are valid in view OF the heavy
casualty lists which have accompanied Buffers
previous operations. Outpost skirmishng is
again reported beyond Elandslaagte, and an
advance toward Dundee seems imminent The
oest theory is that General Butler by taking

For Judge of Probate.

Among the good men named on the
various tickets as candidates for Off
cial trust in st. Clair county, Yale and
vicinity have particular interest in
one. The reason is obvious to all. and
no one can infer from them that we
regard that one as having superior
claims to other candidates. We are
merely stating the reasons why from
the very nature of the case we as citi-
Zens of this place and region cannot
avoid having additional interest in one
of these nominees.
Harvey Tappan, the nominee on the
republican ticket for the Office of Pro-
bate Judge, is the only candidate on
any ticket from this part of the county,
In this respect he represents us locally
as none of the others can, and we have
an interest in the race he is making be-
cause he is one of us. He is our friend
and neighbor. We have known him
personally and intimately for years,
and with him we have taken part in
the social and public events transpir-
ing in our community. We know him,
the ins and outs of his business career,
and that knowledge creates an interest
which would be impossible to feel for
one less intimately known.
We are saying these things, not be-
cause they are our own feelings and
opinions, but because in saying them
we do but voice the sentiment of the
vast majority of our people, irrespec-
tive of party affiliation. We are mere
ly stating what seems to us true, and
we are doing it as the voice of the pub
lie without Mr.. Tappan's knowledge or
consent.
We are neither a prophet, nor the
son of one, but if Harvey Tappan does
not lead his ticket in Brockway, yea,
get more votes than even Mckinley
himself; then we'll go out of the proph-
ecy business, and start peddling CLAIMS.

Ye Triple Links.

We have heard of the woman's era,
or woman's age, and the new woman
which is to be, when men will do the
work and wives would be ladies. But
we didn't think the dawning was so
near at hand in Yale. The supper
given by the Oddfellows in their hall
Tuesday night had some features
which look as if the reign of the new
woman was ushered in. The supper
was cooked by men, the tables set and
served by them, and men did the dish
washing. And it was supper worthy
of being recorded, of whose merits the
100 guests can and do bear witness.
The address given by Rev. j. w, Will,
as announced, was we'll received. The
music was by the male quartette, and
no one need be told what it was. The
evening was pleasantly spent, and we
haye no doubt will rebound to the
good of the order in Yale. If we eyer
start out shooting good fellows, we
will make bee line for Oddfellows
lodges, where we will be sure of pot
shot any lodge night. For royal good
fellows, they take the prize. We wish
the world no greater harm than to
have all its men made good Oddfel-
lows.
