light on the subject of stealing

father-in-law of w. +. Robson,
the young man who was quoted as
having stolen the fencing. He said
the wire belonged to w. f. Robi

son he gave her all the improve.

TO eL0sa Tna DEAL
Ledbettcr aud cruce uone TO Wind
Up the Contract.


It can be safely said now, and
there is not a shadow of a doubt
about it, that the railroad will
come.
Committees have been out all
day today securing the sixty sigma
lures, who will become responsible
to committee of fifteen. who will
be responsible to the railroad for
the right of way.
Messrs. Lee Cruce and w. A.
Ledbetter were to have left on the
train today for Little Rock to make
the final contract with the road,
but a sufficient amount of sigma
lures had not been secured up to
the departure of the train, so II
was deemed advisable for MIR.
Cruce to 90 ahead at noon, and
Mr.. Ledbetter will leave tonight al
midnight. armed and equipped
with all the necessary papers tC
close the deal.
Tomorrow night both Mr.. Led
better and Cruee will be in Little
Rock, and will meet with the pres
ident of the road.
In the mean time collection
have gone right ahead, and tn
subscribers are all coming up jus
like they promised, showing tina
they meant business when the
put their names down for the dii
! fereut amounts.
The next thing we hear of wi
S be the letting of the contract fC
the grading. and work will con
mence as soon as that is done.
) Mr.. Shartell made the statemei
while here Sunday that it won
require 1900 men six months
build the road, and that the fir
r twenty miles out from Ardmo
d would cost more money than Il
other l05 miles. This means
d great deal for Ardmore.

essarily have to buy their suppl

p. N. Davenport's Accident.

The Rev. @. M. Collins is in re-
ceipt of a letter from p. n. Daven-
port, formerly Of this city, now at
Corsicana, Texas, in which the
writer gives a brief account of the
accident which recently befell him.
Mr.. Davenport says, While the
wound to my eye is a bad one, it
might have been worse. | was
trimming piece OF stove pipe,
when the trimming flew up, the
sharp point of which struck the
pupil of the eye; rupturing the
lens and entering the aqueous
chamber, which, of course, emp
tied, letting the iris fall against
the front of the eye. The wound
has healed very nicely now, the
aqueous chamber has reflled and
the iris resumed its place, but the
lens is opaque which of course
renders the eye absolutely blind.
AS soon as the eye is well enough
to stand an operation, the lens can
be removed, giving me partial
vision. "

EPISCOPAL MINISTER SHOT
Woman's Alleged Confession Causes
Tragedy at Arlington, N. j.
Husband Believes He Was Justified in
His Action-Arrcsted and Held
For the Grand Jury.

Arlington, N. J.-Beside himself with
rage and thirsting for revenge for an
alleged assault upon his wife, Thomas
u. Barker shot and seriously wound.
ed Rev. John Keller on the streets of
Arlington. Four shots were fired In
all, and Mr.. Keller will be MANNED
perhaps blinded, for life. Barker gave
himself up. and afterward told the
story Of the wrongs which frenzied
him.
Mr.. Keller is secretary of the Epis
copal Diocese, Of Newark, and q native
Philadelphian. Barker is a depart.
mental chief connected with the Postal
Telegraph Gable Company. in New
York City. a well-to-do and highly re.
spected citizen of Arlington. Barker
and kell,r are Of the same age, thirty.
nine. Previous to the shooting they
were supposed to be the best of
friends.
Barker was arraigned in the Kearny
Town Hall. After Recorder Krebs
had read rhe charge to Barker, of at.
tempting to kill the Rev. Mr. Keller,
the defendant, by advice Of counsel,
waived examination He was there
upon committed without bail to await
the result of the minister's injuries.
The affront to his wife which caused
Barker to attempt the clergyman's
life occurred more than a year ago
Mrs. Barker has limited at 1t several
times to her husband, but never told
him the complete story until few
days ago, when Barker accused her of
keeping q secret from him. During the
words which followed he learned all
the alleged details. He made no com.
ments to his wife, but quietly loaded
his revolver and waited for the first
opportunity to kill Mr. Keller
Many stories are being circulated in
the town concerning the circumstances
that led to the shooting. One Of these
is to the effect that Mrs. Barker has
for some time been subject to haIluci.
nations, and that her actions have
been so eccentric in public as to give
rise to the opinion that she Is not in
her right mind. DR.. e. G. Marks. Mrs.
Barker's physician, in reply to d.
rect question as to whether his pa.
tient was subject to hallucinations,
said:
"She is perfectly sane. and has no
hallucinations whatever"
The friends of the Rev. Mr.. Keller
declare that the only motive for the
shooting was insane jealousy. and that
Mr.. Keller Is entirely innocent In the
affair. The members Of his congrega-
tion refuse to credit the charge alleged
to have been made by Mrs. Barker.
On the other hand. there are those
who believe that Barker was justified
In shooting the minister. Some OF
these pee ple-and among the number
were several women-shouted words
of comfort and approval to him while
he was leaving the jail for the court.
and made an effort to shake his hand.
Several Episcopal clergymen from
neighboring parishes called to express
their sympathy for Mr.. Keller and
their implicit confidence in his inno'
cence.
