Cut His Throat.
Osceola Democrat,

osceols Democrat.
About Z O'Clock last Tuesday even
ing Ernest Merry field, a son OF w. r.
Merryfield, attempted to kill himself,
and that he did not succeed was
owing entirely to reformation ofthe
weapon which he chose to commit
the deed. At the hour named he
went into the butcher shop where his
father and brother were and babe
them both goodbye As he was in
toxicated and had upon numerous
occasions when in a like condition
threatened to leave town, thay paid
no attention to him further than to
shake hands. He retired into the
rear room OF the shop, picking up a
knife used to kill sheep as he went,
and deliberately drew the weapon
across his throat. Fortunately the
knife had a round point, and this
saved the iugular vein from being
reached.
Ernest is known among his com
panions as "Skeeter," and is gener-
ally OF a quiet, retiring and gentle
manly department., and is we'll liked
by all who know him. When intox-
icated, however, he imagines that be
has not a friend on earth and that
everybody wants to "do him up"
Hence on these occasions be is de-
spondent to the extent OF mental
alteration.

Former Marshal Shot By a Rival.

Lamar, Mo-, July 19.-Ex-Marshal
Jas. M. Rice was fatally shot this al
ternoon at the home OF Claude Fast,
In the east part Of this city, by Bert
Cochran. The two men we're rivals
for the affections OF Mrs. C E. Mar
tin, a widow. Rice, although mar
ried man, had long been paying at
tention to Mrs. Martin. Cochran
had won her love, and Rice, becom-
ing desperate, sought Mrs. Martin
Sunday afternoon at the home OF her
daughter-in-law and threatened to
kill Cochran and the woman II he was
compelled to give her up.
Rice, although ordered away from
the house by Mrs. Fast, sought first
to reach Mrs. Martin by climbing in
the window. Cochran, who was
spending the day there, ordered him
away from the window. He left, but
showed up at the door. Here the
two men met, each making threats.
Finally Rice tore open the screen
door and caught hold of Mrs. Martin
and tried to drag her from the house,
when Cochran shot him. Rice was
taken home, where he will probably
die. He was a prominent politician
and a man Of wonderful physique.
Cochran was arrested.

WORLDS FAIR COMMISSION.
For Bates County Organizes and Pre-
pareS For Business.

paws Vi baoAhNSSs
In pursuance to the call OF the
county court the Bates county COM
missioners for the Worlds Fair met
in the Sheriff's Office on Saturday az
ternoon and organized by the cleo
ton OF Hon. Thos, L. Harper, Presi-
dent, and John Krinn, Secretary.
The following executive committee
was appointed: F. II. Crowell, T.
L, Harper and John Krinn. The
best methodist for having the resources
OF Bates county properly displayed
at the Worlds Fair next year, was
thoroughly discussed. The execu-
tive committee was instructed to
confer with the county court relative
to the financial backing necessary to
make the Undertaking a success.
All the people Of Bates county are
alike interested in having the county
represented on an equal footing with
other counties In the state. Bates is
the fourth or fifth in Importance in
wealth and population and should
be among the very first in sdvertis-
ing her wonderful resources to the
world.
Where all are interested 1t is very
hard to raise subscription, In fact
it is hardly fair and reasonable to
expect a few to bear the burdens
when the many are benefited. When
the county court makes the appro-
priation, the burden falls upon all
the taxpayers alike. Courts In 9TH
ercounties are making liberal appro-
priations, and We are satisfied our
court will do the same, to the glory
OF the county. Every enterprising
citizen will applaud such an act.
Fossils and kickers should be relegat.
ed to the rear.
