A queer deforlnIty. which seems to be
hereditary, exists in the family of w.
Killiom, of Leavenworth. killiom only
recently moved there from Iowa.
He is an engineer. His frienda call him
Ten -Thum Jack" because instead OF
four fingers on each hand he has thumsb.
That is, his fingers have only one joint
besides tge knuckle joint. He says this
oddity has manifested itself in five gen.
erations of the family. He has two
children who bear the same deformity,
not only on there hands, but on their
feet, too.-Mail and Breeze

Witnesses told of Mrs. Zero saying
with an oath that she couldn't help

claimed that Zero cut himself in an at
tempt to take his hunting knife from
her. Gero was a woOdsman and guide,
and the tragedy was enacted in the
