MURDER AND SUICIDE.
Farmer Kirby and Wife, Near Win
field, Dead in Bed.

Winfield, Aug. 5.-A murder and a
suicide happened at the home of John
w. Kirby, three miles north of Burden,
in eastern Cowley county. Kirby and
his wife were found dead in bed with
bullet holes through their heads, while
a revolver with two chambers emptied
was lying on the breast of Kirby.
Monday workmen who were re-
shingling Kirby's house noticed that all
was quiet within, and DESTROYS of ascer-
tanning the whereabout of the Kirbys
entered the house through a window
and found both of them as described
above. The conclusion reached was
that Kirby had shot his wife while she
slept and then sent bullet through
his own brain. The coroners office at
Winfield was notified and the coroner
went out.
Kirby was a farmer and no known
reason is given for his crime. He was
about 35 years of age, while his wife
was much younger. Kirby and wife
lived by themselves on what is known
as the Doc Carver place. A few days
ago the place had been sold and Kirby
was expecting to move. Already the
family who was to move in had moved
two loads of goods to the house.
Mr.. Kirby was between 80 and IS
years of age, and had no children.

WOMEN FENCE WITH MEN.

Give" a Unique cat Home," and
the Innovation Spreads

An altogether unique event in the
fencing world, which is now so rapidly
extending it's limits in London, took
place the other day, when for the first
time men and women devotees of the
art met on an equal footing with the
foils.
The affair was brought about
through a special invitation from the
Ladies' Fencing club to leading fen
GERS # the sterner sex to cross swords
with them at an at home at Queens
Gate hall. And a very enjoyable and
successful and at the same time a very
amusing event it proved.
The idea carried out was that of a
bal masque, the fencing mask suggest
Ing the plan. A challenge could be is
sued from any man to any woman for
bout with foils.
On the polished floor were laid six
strips Of linoleum, with little heap
OF resin at each end. On each strip
two combatants faced each other.
So eager were the men that there
were not enough ladies to go round, so
each woman fencer was speedily en-.
gagged several deep. For the entire
duration of the at home never less than
six couples held the floor, so, though
the ladies looked as if they enjoyed
the exercise. it may be guessed that
they had fatiguing time.
