committed suicide in San Francisco,
June 25, by shooting himself in the head.
This sad news, given by the Frederick
town Democrat News, which closes with
the following paragraph, completes
most sorrowful chapter of family history
and human depravity.
"For many years Sam Galloway con-
Quoted successful business in this city
and his word was always considered as
good as bond. He spent thousands of
dollars on the education of his son Frank,
in whom he thought the sun rose and set.
Frank died by his own hands convicted
murderer in the st. Louis jail, his father
committed suicide in San Franci GO and
the wife and mother is left peniless in
st. Louis and has to depend on the
charity of friends for support. Thus the
curtain is rung down on a once prosper-I

a week ago last Tuesday night, liv-
ed here for awhile with a man she
married. Many will remember a
man named Fisher, who was a brick
layer on the courthouse, and who
boarded at DR.. Dennis. The woman
Clark, followed Fisher here from
the Bluff, and they were married
one day at noon by Justice Heder-
son. She was nice appearing wom-
man, and Fisher thought much of
her. She went with him back to
Kansas, and when the firm for whom
he worked settled up with him he
had about $1,000 IN cash, and this
she stole from him and took back to
the Bluff and went to living with
the brute Clark again, it afterwards
being said that he planned the
scheme to get Fishers money.
Clark is a worthless sot, and of the
kind and class of men that always
makes one wonder why the AL
mighty let such as he be created.
He was arrested and is in Jail. The
woman was not to be pltied, and
the scatfold should end him.
Charlottesville Den rat: On
Friday evening of last week two
young men came into the city with
a drove of seven horses which they

first denied their guilt, the young
one contessing first. Their stories
have all been conflicting and little or
no reliance spIaced in anything
they tell. Just where they are from
no one seems to know. However,
they have been at Pokino where
they did some work.
The seven head of stock are now
in possession of the sheriff who
would be glad to have the rightful
owners take it. The stock was
doubtless taken from the range and
on that account the owners may
not miss for some time.
