THE SHOOTING AT TRACY.
Ed. Stricken Puts an End to Four Lives
in That Town.
Tracy Herald.

Tracy Herald
CONSERVATION was on the face of
everyone as the startling news of
the murder by Ed. Striker of his
wife and little boy and the wound
ing Of F. L. McCallister. spread
over the town Monday afternoon
about 4:30
The story of the terrible deed is
thus: Mr.. and Mrs. Stricken were
married some four or five years ago
and lived happy for some months,
but as time grew on trouble arose
and finally they separated. DIR.
Stricker finally left Tracy and went
to Wisconsin where he remained
until last summer when he returned
here and after short visit returned,
taking his little boy with him. It
seems that he had tried to effect a
settlement between himself and
wife, but of no avail. Last week he
returned to Tracy with his little
boy and apparently was very happy
and contented, but on Monday after
noon at 4:30 he went to E. T.. Nc
Callister s furniture store where his
wife and little boy were visiting
with her father, Mr. Harvey. and
upon coming face to face with Mrs.
Stricken, shot her in the temple
killing her instantly and then shoot

Miss Chapman secured the ring,
Miss Peterson the dime and Miss

creamer. while the decorations of
the residence were those of the
brides high school class colors-

few OF the many presented to the

mony, and many of the latter were
exceedingly expensive.

party. The table decorations we're
of carnations and smilax: while the
menu was unusually elaborate.
After breakfast and congratulations
from all present the bridal couple,
together with the groomsmen and
maids and number of friends were
driven to the St. Louis depot, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Laird took the noon
train for the east. The bride
goingaway gown was of green

The couple will be at home in

Both the bride and groom are
well-known u Redwood Falls. Mrs.
Laird has resided here for many
years and has been exceptionally
popular as school girl and in the
social circles of the city. Mr. Laird,
prior to his removal to Ivanhoe,
was employed in D. E. Laird S
hardware store, and all of the young
people of the town, as well as many
of the older, were his friends.
They carry with them to their new
home the best wishes of all who
know them.

OF the building where they we're
putting some bed springs upstairs,
but upon hearing the report of a
gun they started to ascertain the
seat of the trouble, with the result
that Mr.. McCallister was shot in

right side of his face. Mr.. Stricken
then placed the revolver to his head
and committed suicide. After Mr..

the old shack was an eye sore any

During the first 20 minutes of the
blaze the wind was very strong,
but ten minutes to midnight the
wind had gone down and there was
scarcely enough to blow the dead
leaves on the streets.
Mr.. Hessian contends that the
fire was of incenGiary origin. The
barn was lighted by electricity. No
lanterns we're allowed in it. The
flames started in corner never
frequented, and people who claim
to know say that in this corner they
detected evidences of kerosene the
morning after the fire. Mr.. Hes
sian states that work will be COM
menced cleaning up the debris as
soon as the adjuster adjusts the
losses, and that he will at once
commence the work Of rebuilding
the barn. The fire ordinance, en-
acted after this building was built,
will require it to be built of some
fire proof material.
The barn was originally skat-
ing rink. 1t was built in 1886 by
the late Mark W. Clay of Hutchin-
son, who made big money in it
during the roller skating craze. 1t
was then that Guy Renlore of Mar
shall made hit by his fancy roller
skating, and he was placed in
charge of the rink. When the craze
died out it was transformed into a
barn, and was occupied by G. D..
Lam berton's omnibus outfit. and
when Mr.. Lamberton@s sold out to
Mr.. Hessian the latter purchased
the barn of the owner, G.. L. Holmes.

Day-PreparatiOnsf for the Open
ing of Bethany.

A cool breeze, which was apparent all
day yesterday, made the campers at Acton
Park glad that they were away from the
dust and heat of the city and all of the
services in the tabernacle were exceedingly
we'll attended. Many new arrivals among
the outing seekers assured the manage
ment that the assembly is sure of a good
crowd at the close of the meetings. The
morning service yesterday was a social
service led by the Rev. d. A. Robertson.
In the afternoon Mrs. Frame held an evan
gelistic service, in which she told of The

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
A. II. THOMSON SELLS HORSES TO
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
He Thinks the Automobile VIII FL

There were millions OF horses shipped
from this country to South Africa during
the Boer war" remarked A. II. Thomson,
a horse importer, who was at the Grand
hotel yesterday, land out of all this num-
Der Indiana stands at the head for furnish
ing the kind of horses the British govern
ment wanted" Mr.. Thomsons headquar-
tiers are at Charlottesville. He formerly
lived in England and is familiar with the
horse business in England. Within the last
few days Mr.. Thomson started load OF
twenty horses TO England. consigned to the
British government.
This is the first order that has been
given in this country by the British govern
ment since the war closed" said he. Dur
ing the war he sold a great many horses to
England, and at the close received a very
flatteriEg letter from representative OF
the government. The twenty head of
horses he started for England few days
ago are really samples" They are fifteen
hand high, and are known as "gunners."
They are to be used by the British army
in hauling light guns about. Mr.. Thomson
says If they suit the government he ex-
poets a large order.
Mr.. Thomson says he is now convinced
that the automobile will finally kill the
horse business. There will always be some
horses raised, but the automobile will grad
ually take their places on the streets. Il
have a friend in New York. said Mr..
Thomson. who has always contended that
the horse business would not be injured by
the automobile. He IS in the horse trade
himself. He has changed his mind, how
ever. He tells me now that he has watched
the automobile traffic from his window and
has seen 1t increase. He says he can notice
more automobiles every month"

kan looked more puzzled and the young
woman explained that she had seen a sign
that said Chairman Goodrich was giving
away pup dogs free. Where is that sign?'
asked Millikan, rather severely. stalking
out into the corridor. The young woman
led him 10 the place where she had read
the sign. but IL was gone. The chairmans
confidential clerk Is a man OF resources
and he determined to fathom the mystery.
In one OF the rooms at headquarters ha
found package OF literature that had not
been opened. and IL bore one OF the same
kind Of labels the girl had seen. Millikan
saw the point in a moment and was rude
enough TO laugh. What the young woman
read as Pup Dogs, Free" was meant 10

The young woman. OF course. had read the
label hurriedly. Millikan was ungallant
enough TO laugh immoderately even though
the girl was on the verge Of tears.

YOUNG GIRL DISAPPOINTED.
She Failed to Secure "Pup Dog" ut
Republican Headquarters.

Mr. Archibald c. Mnlikan. confidential
clerk to Chairman James p Goodrich of
the Republican state committee, was a
mystifed young man for a few minutes
yesterday morning. a pretty little stenog-
rapher who alternates these hot days be-
tween Immediately white shirtwaists and
waists of the daintiest pink color, was al
most as much puzzled as the young man.
The incident served to break the monotony
of day of dull routine at committee head
quarters in the Majestic building. label
on one of the packages received at head
quarters was the cause of il all. Just now
the national congressional committee is
sending out a great deal Of literature and
large packages OF IL are frequently received
by the Indiana state committee. The stuff
is "franked," and consequently is shipped
free of charge. 1t is usually addressed TO
Mr.. Goodrich, as chairman OF the commit
tee.
Two or three days ago bundle OF htera-
ture arrived at headquarters and in being
lifted from the elevator the large label fell
or and later in the day some one picked
IL up and leaned II against the wall in the
corridor. There il sat for a day. The lit

passing through the corridor and saw the
label She read IL and looked puzzled. To
her IL read: Pup dogs, free. James +.
Goodrich" The young woman had for
long time wanted a dog for pet. but these
animals sold so dreadfully high that she
never felt she could afford one Here was
certainly a rare chance. She is an ardent
little Republican and she said 20 herself
that tho chairman OF a state Republican
committee would have none but thorough
breds about him If he dealt in canine at all.
Bright and early yesterday morning the
young woman presented herself at commit
