Lamar, Mo-, Aug. IA George Hess
a well known farmer, living a mile
west OF Irwin, in Barton county, and
Mrs. Hess were shot by an unidenti.
fed man as they lay in bed about
100 O'Clock this morning. Hess's
condition Is critical Much mystery
surrounds the affair. Robbery ap-
psrently was not the motive Of the
visitor, as $40 on the dresser in the
bedroom was untouched and no
property In the house was disturbed.
The intruder entered the house at
the kitchen door where he stopped
and lighted lamp. Mrs. Hess heard
the man but thought he was her son
and called to him. The man did not
answer but proceeded to the bed
cham Der. Mr.. Hess had started to
arise when the visitor fired five shots
at the couple, one bullet striking
Hess on the leg and one striking
his wife In the same place.
Hess ran cut of the house and
across the road into cornfeld. AS
he wac climbing fence the man shot
him again in the back. Running a
few feet further Hess fell exhausted.
The man then fired five more shots,
but Hess, who struggled with him
for the pistol, threw the weapon to
one side and none of these shots
took effect. Mrs. Hess ran TO she

mile distant followed BY her son,

Hess Ia about So years old. One
bullet, which entered his back, lodged

TIE SAVE 0LDGANE.

Both the Republican Press and the
Record published two column pictures
of Clyde Spencer, the Republicannom
inee forSheriff and devoted consider
able space to his pedigree. Ne think
this commeudable enterprise, from a
newspaper view, but wonder that the
seu,s Thought should strike bota
these editors at the same time and
that both should act upon 1t, al
though 1t is along lines that neither
have heretofore made features In their
papers. We wonder, farther, that they
should both happen to pick on the
nominee for sheriff topublish hispic-
ture, when there we,enine candidates
to choose from, and the sheriff Is
neither the head nor the tail OF the
ticket. 1t looks like a prearrsnged
scheme OF the leaders to sacrifice all
the other candidates on their ticket
for Spencer this time, like they didfor
Clark Wix two years ago. Is 1t any
wonder that such men as Charly Lane,
DR.. Lyle, Phin Holcomb snd George
Templeton refuse to accept a nomin-
alton when they know that they
would not receive even the strength
OF their party, but all be traded OH
and sacrificed In the interest OF one
man, thus showing themselves very
weak in order to make the one man
very strong. they concentrated their
guns on Joe Smithfour years ago, oil
T. X. Lisle two years ago and now
they will try the same game on
Nose Morris, and we may add truth
fully, parentheticslly, with the same
result.
From a party standpoint we con-
tend that each nominee on the ticket
ia entitled to the full party support
and that Is is reasonable to the
party and an injustice to the other
nominees to trade them off In order
to run one candidate ahead. This is
applicable to all parties, and In our
judgement a regular nominee OF a
party exhibits but little spirit II he
fails to resent such an effort to thus
make him appear small In the eyes OF
his neighbours.
