MISS MARTIN SUICIDES.
Prominent Ohio Young Lady Who Wis.,

Prominent Ohio Young Lady Who Wis.,
tied Here Last Week is Dead.
Miss Margaret Martin who was the
guest of DR.. and Mrs. j. W. Thompson
here last week committed suicide by tax
Ing strJcllnlne OF her sisters home in
Marion Sunday night. Miss Martin was
here for about two weeks and was called
away last Saturday by message telling
Of sickness in the family In Ohio. She
went to the home of her sister Mrs. W.
s. Upton at Marion, and was to leave
for Catiz, Ohio on Monday, Miss Mar.
tin belonged to wealthy and highly re.
spected family. She was 23 years Of age
and young woman Of exceptionally fine
appearance. She was one of the heirs of
large estate the management of which
was In the hands of u friend Of the fAmi-
ly, Senator Hogg, of Cadiz, Ohio. Miss
Martin had greatly desired to study for
the stage, and this ambition seemed her
life purpose. Her friends had strongly
opposed such move and this condition
of affairs had caused her some unhappl-
ness but aside from this there seems to
be no explanation for her wishing to end
her life. The news of her tragic death
was a severe shock to Doctor and Mrs.
Thompson, She had visited often at the
Thompson home where she was always
received as one Of the family. 1t has
beenlearned that Miss Martin bought
strychnlne before leaving Dodge Olty,
and she bad evidently determined before
starting to Marion that she would end
her life, as she did Sunday night.

AT DISTRICT COURT.
Rube St. Clair Gets Hung Jury. Other
Cased Tried.

Rnbe ST. Clair, who WAS tried last
week on charge Of stealing horse, bad a
streak of luck. He didn't win, but 1t
was a dead heat which still gives a
chance to win later on. The jury failed
to agree. Seven wanted 10 convict and
five wanted 10 acqnit.
Rube was not 30 lucky II short time
ago when lie broke Jail, That time after
II night and day walk he was picked up
and brought back and the worst part Of
the deal Is that If he cant be convicted of
horse stealing be is likely to be sent up
for Jail breaking
In the Buwon caue the jury found
against The defendant The case Is a
peculiar one. The defendants claimed at
first that they were held up. 1t appears
that the boys were OIL, on what might be
termed a clark" and were taking charge
Of strangers and having a good time with
them, grounding them ap' and search.
Ing them.
The case Of james Bagley vs. the Coln.
ty Commissioners WINS an interesting one
to the lawyers and spectators. Bagley
repaired a bridge at Bucklln on a con.
tract made with the commissioners.
When settlement was made there was a
matter Of over $50 in dispute. The com.
mIssionen were sued for this amount by
Bagley, who was represented in thu case
bye. l.. Wing and Sutton & Scatps.
In beginning hls argument Mr.. Sutton
opened up something OF a personal at.
tack on the board Of county commission
ers and had the air floating with fur be-
fore The court got him pulled up. Judge
Madison then administered u rather
sound and vigorous judicial spanking to
Mr.. Sutton, lnstructing him to retract
what be had saidabOut the commissioners
before proceeding with his argument
Mr.. Sutton was not In the hnniOr for
backing up and accepted the other alter
native. The court then offered II few re-
marks which worked so strongly upon
Mr.. Sutton's emotions that he found he
would not be able to keep still.
lie arose and frankly admitted that be
found, after all, he would have to talk
some more to the jury, consequently he
was ready to "retract", He was allowed
TO finish bis argument. The jury gave
Mr.. Bagley verdict for sGc.
The court adjourned yesterday to July
26. Before adjonrniug George St. Clair
was sentenced to the penitentiary and
Rube to the relormatory. The time of
their sentence under the present law de.
pends upon their BEHAVIOR A four
months sentence was given to Burson
and Was followed by notice of appeal TO
the supreme court. In the case Of Rube
st. Clair there WAS a very queer feature.
As stated above the jury disagreed. A
day or two later Rube came into court
and pleaded guilty.

DODGE CITY COMPANIES
will Be in on the Ground Floor in
Kansas Oil Districts.

VIII BE In on the Ground Floor In
Kansas Oil Districts,
Two new Dodge City oil companies will
soon be operating wells In southern Kan.
sas. G. L. Wing, who returned from the
oil fields last week has lease on 1850
acres Of land which Is adjoining some Of
the big wells. He is forming a company
Of a few home men to sink wells and de.
velop The field Mr.. Wing states that
there are ten producing wells within
from 40 rods to mile of his land. There
are three flowing wells within less than
half mile Of his tract one of them now
producing q barrels per day. Another
we'll near thu tract produces 4S barrels.
per day. As soon rs the arrange nents
for the company are made the first veil
will be put down. Mr.. Wing expects to
have well completed by August lst.
He thinks that there Is a fortune |: his
lease and the company will not issue any
stock to sell. There will be but q few 10
the company and they will develop the
field and reap all Of the benefits.
Reeves Il Kirkpatrick have another
fne prospect, in fact particularly good
one. Their lease is located just north of
Coffeyville where they have 1856 acres In
one tract and 60 acres In another.
Both tracts are surrounded by paying
wells and the oil IL found at a less depth
than in many locations Mr.. Reeves Is
now on The ground closing up the leases.
TheNwlll form close company and ex.
pect to begin operations at once. The
field they are in is as near sure thing
as can be found In the oil district. The
Standard Oil Company has pipe line
close to one Of their tracts and are build
Ing toward the other.

which shall be given was copied from n
tablet belonging to one Of this class, and
is a product Of her own brain. 1t Is as
follows:
Here lam, as foolish as ever,
My health is good and so is the weather
But my deaIe's foot steps
Come not hither-tonight,
The clocks still ticking, my heart beats
low,
1t seems that the hours are very slow,
And to see my dearie
There's not much show-tonight.

And why do the stars look down so cold

that corner light Tuesday night The
light used Is a gasoline Arrangement that
is inexpensive. and 1t seems to work all
right, A hundred such lights scattered
