KILLED BY STEP SON,
Deplorable Tragedy at Branchville Tues
day-A Clear Case of Self Defense.
(The State. 4,


Branohville. March 3.-Mr. N. G.
Heape was shot and instantly killed
here this morning by his step son,
Is. W. Fairey. 1t seems that Mr..
Heape has been on spree for seve
eral days and had become delirious;
he had threatened several times to
shoot his wife, Young Fairey's moth
or, and had run the whole family off
the place. Mr.. Hoape and young
Fairey had always been specially
good friends and he started to 90
and try to quiet Mr.. Heape, who had
already been shooting at Mrs. Heape
and at any ono thai passed the place.
AS soon as Mr.. Fairey entered the
yard, MIR. Heape drew his gnu, and
Fairey had to shoot to save his own
life. The verdict of the coronor's
jury was that "Heape came to his
death by gun shot wounds in the
hands of f. W. Fairey, Jr., and we
believe the same to be justifiable
homicide"
This is ono Of tho most deplorable
affairs that has ever occurred i'm this
section. Mr.. Heape WAS one of the
Oldest and most trusted engineers on
this branch Of the Southern railroad.

once.

A Word to
Nursing
Mothers

1t is a we'll known clinical fact
tha babies who depend wholly on
mothers milk never have cholera,
and are exempt from two-thirds
the ailments which afflict infants.
Some inkling to this has checked
the resort to artificial foods and
begun to make it "good form for
every mother to nurse her own
baby - when she can.
Some try it, and grow weak and
sick under the strain. With
others the milk flow is insufficient,
and the poor baby is at last given
over to the tender mercies of the
milkman with his corn fodder, and
stale slops, and worse.
If any mother within ter miles
OF our store reads this, we want to
give them hint. Try Vinol.
There are many mothers who have
found that it enabled them to take
more nourishment, restored their
strength, and made baby healthy,
hearty, and happy.
Vinol not only supports the
mothers strength but transmits
to the babe the foundation for a
healthy childhood.
Vinol contains no dangerous
drugs. We are willing to tell YOU
just what is in it and give you the
money back if it don't help you.
Don't doubt, t,y it.

Are the Methodists of the Iowa con-
