Special to Tinles-Republican.
Oskaloosa, June 2S.-Millie Wilson, a
young woman employed in domestic
work by Mrs. Lou Mobley, was SER
iously wounded by the discharge of a
revolver Monday evening at 5 o'clock
The weapon was in the hands of AL
bert Norris, an employee of the Oska-
loosa Manufacturing Company, and the
firing was entirely accidental, as the
young man was unaware that the gun
was loaded
The gun had been lying at the bot
tom of a trunk for over a year, and
Norris thought to clean the weapon
before turning it over to the girl. The
two were standing side by side when
the revolver was discharged and the
ball entered the girls left side, barely
missing the heart. The frightened
lover Immediately 'phoned for a ply
sician and placed the fainting girl up
on couch.
1t is thought that the bullet is
lodged just hebind the shoulder blade
but this fact has not been conclusively
determined as vet.
Miss Wilson's parents came to the
city at 1:45 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and are now at the wounded
girls bed side.

BY SLOW POISONING.
The Case Of Mrs. Pratt and Will Per-
sino Attracting Much Attention.

Lake City, June 2s.-1t is now re-
garded here that the death of Cy
Pratt, the young farmer who died near
Yetter on Saturday, was caused by
arsenic poison administered in small
doses. The inquest was held Monday
at Yetter and although a verdict was
held in allegiance until such time as
report could be had from State Chem
ist C. N. Kinney, to whom Pratt's
stomach was sent for analysis, William
Persing, the man employed on the
farm. was taken by the sheriff to Rock
we'll City for safe keeping. Mrs. Pratt
is at home under careful surveillance.
Pratt was taken sick some weeks
ago, and DR.. Barry Of Auburn was call
ed. but he was unable to diagnose the
case to his satisfaction, and called DR..
j. f. Hull of Lake City, into consulta-
ton. Neither of the doctors was able

ter with Pratt, as they found the
symptoms very peculiar. DR.. Hull was
afterwards called several times, and
each time found Pratt apparently we'll,
although in bed, and urged him to get
UP and get out of doors, but Pratt
said he was worse the day before, had
Hull is persuaded that this was caused
by small doses of arsenic.
1t is stated previously that Mrs.
Pratt had borne "a good reputation and
no word was uttered against her. but
friends are at loss to explain the
strange infatuation which is alleged
drew her to Persing, who is described
as not Il prepossessing man. much old
er than herself. He worked for
neishbor last year Since the death.
Mrs Pratt is said to have acted in
way not entirely becoming to a mourn
ing widow. Neighbors and people
around Yetter are very plain in their
denunciationS and much feeling is
manifested.
Mr. and Mrs. Pratt have two child
rem. both of them girls. Pratts mother
was also at the house during the III
ness. and was suspicious of the affair
from the first.
Mrs Pratt's stories and those of
Persing do not correspond, as he says
there was no poison bought. and Mrs.
Pratt says she bought arsenic to kin
rats.
The poison register is said to show
two purchases of considerable guam
tity of the drug. Physicians say that
it is possible to administer the drug
and produce death slowly, so that the
symptoms are very hard to recognize.

Special to TimeS-Republlcan-
Jewell, June 2S.-Reveling in filth,
ragged almost to the limit, with hair
filled with dust and cinders, John Hal
version arrived at this place Monday.
He is returning from the Klondike,
where he has spent twelve years
searching for gold. His first year was
successful. BY a lucky accident, he
discovered a pocket of gold that yield
ed him $4,000 worth Of gold nuggets.
Halverson left family at Sandusky.
Ohio, when he started for the gold re-
gions. 1t was his intention to remain
only a couple of years, but the find
ing of the pocket of gold only made
him keener for wealth, and he con-
tinued to wander aimlessly about the
frozen north. In the meantime he lost
track of his family. Altho Halverson
never found another gold pocket, he
did not part with any he had found
and while here he exhibited his little
horde of nuggets to an interested
crowd.
He is now on his way to Sandusky,
o., where he hopes to find some trace
of his family which he has not heard
of for the past eighth of a century and
which does not know the existence of
him at this time. He is making the trip
on foot, and on the blind baggage, pre-
| fering this mode of travel to disgorg-
ing some of his gold nuggets and pay
| ing his ride. Occasionally when in
need of ready cash he does few
stunts with a bucksaw and other odd
jobs which tides him over and keeps
him from starving.

Must Have Been countrvbred.

A rising young dentist of New York
is in severe disfavor with one of the
most prominent members of that pro-
fession because of the exercise of his
powers as an amateur Sherlock
Holmes. AT a clinic some days ago,
where a number of we'll known prac-
titioners had gathered to see the older
dentist give a demonstration of a new
method, the exhibitor suddenly dove
into his pocket, took out small knife,
opened it and scraped the edge OF a
cap, wiped the knife and replaced it.
The operation took, perhaps a mifute,
and could have been we'll accom-
plished with any one of half a dozen
instrument lying ready on the table
before him. The young dentist, ma
tive of a backwoods town in Maine,
was quick with his deduction. HUI
LOT" he sang out, you must have been
raised on farm When you see a
man dig into his jeans and fetch up a
jackknife to do work he could do bet
ter with something else, you can bet
he walked mile or two to learn his
alb abs, and spent a good many half
hours digging sticks out of his bare feet
with the same implement" The laugh
was at the great mans expense, and 1t
was not till after the clinic that the
syoungster@ learned that his bucollc
origin was the famous dentists most
touchy point. He has not yet been
able to retrieve himself.
