MYSTERY BACK OF TRAGEDY.
Double Shooting ARRAY at Denver
Due to Old Eeud.

Due to Old Feud.
Denver, Nov 20-Rev. Father Felix
Lepore, pastor of Mount Carmel Cath
olic church in this city, and Joseph
Sorice of Pittsburg, Pa, who shot each
other after game Of cards in the
priests apartments at the rear of the
church, are reported to be in dying
condition.
In an ante-mortem statement made
10 Judge Sales of the district attor-
ney's Office Father Lepore said that he
believed his assailant had been sent
out to Denver for the purpose Of kill
Ing him. Since his first conversation
with Sorice. when he came to this city
about month ago, Father Lepore said
he had feared the man and had
thought that his life was in danger.
Sorice refused to say word either to
the district attorneys representatives.
or to the detectives Before coming
to Denver in 1892 Father Lepore con-
Quoted banking business in New
York, where, it is said, he failed for
a considerable amount Among the
creditors, it IS said, was Giuseppe
Pasquel, a partner Of Joseph Sorice,
who came to Denver with the latter
about a month and a half ago.
Frank I&pore, nephew Of the
priest, said that Pasquel had made a
demand on Father Lepore few days
ago for $24O, which he claimed the
priest owed him. Young Lepore ad-
vised his uncle to give the men the
money they demanded, but. he did not
do so.
Tt is Believed that behind the tragedy
lies deep mystery extending back to
old times in Italy, which, it is feared,
will never be solved because of the
secretive nature of the Italians.

Willing to Do His Part.

An old farmer, says the St. James
Budget, once took tea with for.
mer Duke and Duchess of Buc.
cleuch at Drumlanrig castle, his
grace's Drumfriesshire estate.
His first cup of tea was gone al
most before the duchess had poured
it out. Again and again his cup
was passed along to the head of the
table. At the sixteenth cup the
duchess became uneasy about the
supply on hand. ''How many cups
do you take, John?" she asked.
"How mony do ye gie?' John
asked cannily.

PREPARED BY FOREIGN MINISTER
CoIombia's Reply to American Recog-
milton of Panama.

New York, Nov 20.-Oficial reply
was made today, says the Herald's
Bogota (Colombia) correspondent, un-
der date of Nov. 13, to the note pre-
sented by United States Minister
Beaupre informing the Colombian gov
ernment that Washington had entered
into official relations with the repub-
lie Of Panama, The reply was framed
by Senor Carlos Ricos, minister Of
foreign affairs, who vigorously defends
his government and threatens to
march an army on Panama unless the
United States Immediately recedes
from it's position.
That the Colombians are willing to
fight to maintain their dignity and, II
possible, retake Panama, is shown by
the strong support Of 1red the govern
ment and the popular approval OF Min
lister Ricos' stand.
The minister in his note to the Unit
ed States, through Mr.. Beaupre, says:
sThe Colombian government pro-
tests energetically at the attitude
taken by the United States. By the
recognition of Panama and the warn
ing that the United States will not
allow Colombia to put down the rebel
lion the heretofore friendly relations
existing between the two governments
have arrived at such critical state
that it is absolutely impossible to con-
tinue diplomatic relations unless the
Washington government should imme'
diately give notice that it has no in"
tention to prevent Colombia from re-
taking the isthmus or to extend any
recognition to the belligerents."
= The note concludes by stating that
"a prompt reply is awaited from Wash
ington as the Colombian army is ready
to march on Panama at once"

OF late a great many banks have

Obituary..

Harriet L. Smith was born IN
Adams county Ohio, Dec, 26 1924,
professed faith in Christ in early
life and united with the Presbyterian
Church and lived faithful Christian
life until the day of her death. She
was married about the year 1873, IN
Hamilton county to Mr.. Smith, who
died about 1886 in Coffee county,
Kansas. She had no children of
her own but was an adopted mother
to four. Most of the time during
the past twenty years she has made
her home with her adopted son, Rev.
VIM. Reace, having come with him
to Meade in 1901, where she has
lived since that time until the date
of her death which occurred Dec, "a
1908, aged 10 years, II months and
13 days. Sister Smith has been
quite feeble for some years and not
able to do much personal work, but
has been deeply interested in the
work of the church, especially the
work which has been committed to
the hands of Rev. VIM. Reace. 1t
has been my privilege to see her
frequently during her last sickness
and 1 always found her cheerful and
resigned to the will of God.
The funeral occurred at the M. E.
Church, Dec, II, 1903, conducted
by Rev. ]. N, Stamper, Superan-
nuated Minister of the Southwestern
Kansas Conference, assisted by
Rev. ]. M. Robinson, pastor of the
Baptist Church of Meade in the
presence of many sympathizing
friends and the remains laid to rest
in Graceland Cemetery.

PLAINS DEPARTMENT.
F. s. SULLIVAN Editor,

Jesse Baughman and Don T.
Edwards have gone east for the
holidays.
Work on the church is being de-
layed on account of shortage OF
of material.
Electrician Gerow was over Mon
day connecting Ed Aker's ranch to
the main telephone line.
M. S. Gillidett is having a well
sunk on his homestead west of town.
Reese Singley is doing the work.
Notice that woe-begone look that
Smithy wears. Don't josh him;
perhaps if your best girlwas spending
Christmas in the east.
This talk of the Anti-machine of
nominating Ed Hoch for governor,
recalls the cry that was familiar
about seven years ago, of "Hoch
for Governor and redemption for
Kansas" Well if the Marion man
can redeem Kansas from the dis
grace wrought by the last legislature,
by all means give him a chance.
A part of regular Sunday reading
is the Mail and Breeze, but it seems
to US that this paper is lacking in
it's old time vigor. Too much of
it's space is now devoted to the pro-
pulsion of incandescent atmosphere.
Then too the fables of Tom McNeal
are getting decidedly rank. Tom
used to write some good things in
this column, but he appears to be
run down.
On receiving the News last week
we Immediately called up central
and demanded No. 7, requesting the
Hello Girl not to listen at the switch
board. 1t was our intention to
burn out every phone on the line
with sulphurious language, but we
suddenly remembered the rules of
the company and "nursed our wrath
to keep it warm" as our old friend
Shakespeare would say. But we
warn the Editor to lay in a supply
of Office Grape and arrange for a
half holiday in case the compositor,
pressman, or whoever it is VIII }
"makes up" again cuts an article of
ours in the middle and backs it on
to siding as he did last week.
We observe that after January 1st
the railroads will no longer issue
stock passes. Just how they are
going to avoid this in violation of
the statutes is not stated, but in view
of the events of recent years ii
would seem that railroad rulings
are superior to State laws, and much
better enforced. If we had a few
capable and incorruptible State of
ficers things might be different. So
far as we can recall the only Kansas
officer who ever brought cor rporations
to time was Webb McNeal, when
Superintendent of Insurance, and he
was turned down by the people
when he sought reelection. Again
we are forced to acknowledge the
truth of Barnum's statement about
the American people being easy.

citation convened Saturday, Decem.
Der IL at Office of Miss Martin.
Although the day was cold the at
tendance was good and reflected
great credit on the members; some
of whom came twenty or more miles,
which shows plainly the rare stuff OF
which the teacher in the shortgrass
country is composed.
The major portion of the program
was devoted to Algebra and discus
sion of different problems. Th S
was made interesting by Mr.. Jared,
tho -hampered by lack of text and
black board.
Itwas decided to postpone Read
ing Circle work until next meeting
owing to lateness of the hour.
It was also decided, on suggestion
of Mr.. Jared that at next meeting
the time devoted to Algebra should
be abridged and devoted to those
more directly interested and time
thus gained to be devoted to discus
sion of questions of general interest
to teachers.
The next meeting will be held at
High School room Jan. 22, 1904,
tie give all teachers opportunity to
enjoy the third number of the Red
path Lecture course Friday evening
JAM, 22 and the association at one
trip. AS the teachers who are going
to attend the State Association have
promised to give a report at next

usually interesting. The names of

lie Was Shot in Old Kentucky.

A Killeen, Texas, poet warbles as
 follows:
 "He was shot in old Kentucky, where they make the mountain dew and the mothers feed their babies on hot re- rOlver stew; where you wake up in the morning shot full of bullet holes. and find your sole companions are dis embodied souls. He was shot in old Kentucky, where their aim Is always true and the principal amusement is shooting people through; where the doctors use as medicine for all human ills, dose or two of bullets instead of giving pills. He was shot in old Ken lucky, where feuds grow on the trees, and bullets from the rifle buzz through the air like bees; where the instruJ ments they play on when they give dance or hop are the musical revOlvers and they call off with 8 pop. I have heard that old Kentucky is a fine old commonwealth: that the women are all noted for their beauty and their health: but I'll stay in old Killeen, where the women cut less figure, and the men are not so nasty nor so quick to pull the trigger

Death of Mrs. Amanda Ludv.

Mrs. Amanda Ludy, wife of Adam Ludy of this city, died at her former home, Harrington, Washington, on July 28, after an illness of only few days The news of her death was re- Ceived by her son, J. E. Ludy, with the most complete surprise, and his was the soFrowful mission to impart the sad tidings to his aged father, who was also unaware that his wife had been i'll. Mrs. Ludy was 68 years old, and died as she had lived during her long life, a true christian woman. The last two years of her life were spent in Yuma, having only returned to Washington last spring on a visit. The cause of her death was heart trouble. She leaves a husband, two children, num- Der of grand children and many friends ;:ld relatives to mourn her departure.

A Creamery Possibility.

While in Los Angeles last week, Mr. 0. |. JonnsGc, cf .hc firm of Johnson & BowleS had talk with c. c. Wickson q creamery promoter and builder with the view of installing a plant at Yuma. Mr. Wickson was favorably impressed with this point, and will be here about the 10th of September to submit pro- position to the farmers to put in a creamery to be run on the cooperative plan and owned by the farmers them selves. In the meantime Mr. Johnson is gathering information as to the num- Der of cows now in the valley, and how many might be added in case the prop osition goes through, and other infor- nation necessary. It is hardly neces- sary to say that such @ plant here would be of incalculable benefit to the town and to the valley and we hope to see it an established fact.

Biz Cattle Shinn1enf.

r. P. Hedges, an enterprising Yuma county meat dealer, leaves this even- ing for home. He has been in the val ley several days and during that time has made arrangements for one Of the most important shipments of beef cat tie known hereabouts for some time: MT. Hodges purchased about $50 fine beef steers and has made arrangements for their shipment to Yuma in special train of sixteen cars. It is the most considerable attempt at shipping MT, Hodges has yet made, and he saves something like $500 in the matter of freight by reason of it's magnitude.
 MT. Hodges will place the cattle on his five sections of land in the Colorado valley below Yuma, where he has an abundance of splendid feed.-Phoenix Enterprise.
