SHOT BY BROTHER
Whiteside County Stirred by Sen
salionaI Murder in Har.
desty Home.
KILLING IN SELF DEFENSE
Son Had Threatened to AnnihiIate
the other Members OF
Family.

| Edward NJ HardeSty was shot and
killed by his brother, George w. Har-
desty, Jr, Saturday just before mid
night, at the home of their father, G..
w Hardesty. near Rock Falls The
shot was fired in self-defense, as Ed
ward was coming down the stairs with
the avowed intention of killing
George and all other members of the
family
The inquest into the cause of the
death of Edward was held Sunday af
ternoon at o'clock in the Rock Falls
city nall and was not concluded till
after o'clock when the jury found a
verdict generating George w. Hard
esty, Jr, the testimony having proved
that he acted in self-defense.
Edwa I'd q Bad Man.
The case has shocked everybody in
the community, as it is one of the
most sensational that has happened
in the county for a long time. Edward
Hardesty. has been a bad man for a
number of years while he had been in
the west and had been mixed up in
number of shoOtingS ARRAYS, in one
of which he was nearly killed about a
year ago. His family had not heard
from him for nearly twenty years till
one day last year when his brother,
Frank T. Hardesty, received a tele-
gram calling him to Williams. Ariz.
II stated that Edward Hardesty had
been killed there.
Brought Home From West
Frank went west and found his
brother badly wounded in the head.
He brought him home after he was
able to travel and had given him work
and helped him all he could since. The
wound he received in the head. how
ever, seems to have unsettled his
mind and he had had a great craving
ever since to kill some one. Since
last September he had been drinking
more or less and whenever he was I'M
der the influence of liquor he would
become violent and abusive, especially
towards the members of his own fam
lily. He had terrorized his parents and
brothers and sisters many times,
threatening to cut their heads off or
shoot them. For weeks they have
been unable to sleep or live in peace,
for they were afraid of him.
Drinking Heavily
Friday and Saturday he had been
drinking more heavily than usual and
a warrant had been sworn out Sat
urday morning for his arrest, but it
was not served because it was thought
that he was insane and arrangements
were being made to have him tried for
his sanity when the shooting occurred
Since returning home from the west
he had a mania for gathering all kinds
of weapons about him, including
bowie knives, revolvers, razors and
shotguns. These would be taken away
from him by his relatives and hid so
that he could not find them, for it
was feared that he might kill some
of them at any time.

Miss Maude TaIiaferro has entirely
recovered from the affection of the
eyes with which she was attacked
while playing in Boston, and fortunate
ly with no apparent indication that she
will ever be annoyed with it in the fu-
ture. The reports first given out were
to the effect that she would lose her
eyesight entirely, but there was really
no justification for such exaggerated
statements She was placed under
the care of DR.. Koch. a noted Boston
specialist, and sent to his private hos
pital. where she remained for three
weeks or more under his charge. Miss
Mabel is now the guest of her uncle,
Col. Edward T. Taliaferro. at Ardsley,
and is out riding and driving every
day. and apparently with only benefi
cial results to her eyes.

Stage Chat.

Edward E. Kidder is making excel
lent progress on the new play for Ezra
Kendall, and the last act is now in
nand, the first two having been COM
pleted and read to Mr.. Kendall, who
has made SUCH revisions as he deemed
necessary, and is now delighted with
its promise. The title of the new play
is "Weaherbeaten Benson" and the
scenes are laid along the Delaware
coast, the title role embracing a line OF
work different from that in which Mr.
Kendall has yet been seen, but giving
him full opportunity for some of the
best work of his life. Mr.. Kendall will
open in his new play at the Park thea
tire, Boston, Sept. 5.
Without doubt the most conspicuous
engagement in Chicago at present and
which is to continue there this
week, is that of the well-known and
widely popular comic opera entitled
THE TenderfOot," in which Richard
earle not only appears as the leading
comedy spirit. to-wit. the pedantic
Prof. Pettibone, but he is also pro
grammed as the author of the book
which indicates that versatility is not
wanting in this popular comedian.
The Tenderfoot" relates in an anus
ing way the experience of a professor
of an eastern college, who is escorting
a group of young lady graduates to
California by the Southern route stop
ping in Texas on the Rio Grande
where he has a niece, who is the own
er of a very large ranch. Mr.. Garlic
has cOllated a series of adventures in
both prose and rhyme, the latter OF
course set to music and beautiful mu
sic too, by the way, which illustrates
in an Enthusiastically breezy fashion
the hearty life of the frontiersman as
it exists in that locality. The person
mel includes besides the young lady
graduates, a designing authoress. a
frontier gambler, and the officers and
soldiers of a Texas ranger regiment
just back from Cuba, cowboys, Next
can girls and a solitary Chinaman.
servant on the ranch. There is enough
of love story in it TO bring about be-
fore the final curtain the mating OF
the colonel of the rangers and the
young mistress of the ranch and low
comedy sergeant and the maid of the
ranch woman.
