Frank Charles Horton, the red-topped
left halfback OF the Gallaudet College
football team. has been elected to lead
the gridiron warriors or Kendall Green

Horton comes from Colorado and is
a junior. He has played quarter as
well as left half in the past season.
and was the mainstay of the back
field large portion OF the time. Dur
ing the two seasons preceding the one
just closed Horton was not out for
practice regularly, and as conse-
qnence was not in condition TO play
with the varsity.
Ihis fall he went into the game in
earnest, and promptly made the team.
An injury received In the Georgetown
game unfortunately kept him with a
more or less lame shoulder during most
OF the season. This prevented his do
ing his best and kept him out OF, one
or two games.

THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
Gloom Falls Over Langdon Home-The Only
Daughter of f. J. Fox is Dead.

The death occurred at five o'clock this
morning of Miss Kathleen Fox, the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. j. Fox
of this city. 1t is one of the saddest
events that have been chronicled in
Langdon. A perfectly healthy and low
able little girl only thirteen years old,
lays cold in death after an illness of less
than twentyfour hours. The sudden
taking away OF Kathleen from the home
circle was due to severe attack of
peritonitis. Tuesday morning she was
at school as usual, late IN the afternoon
she complained of feeling unwell. Tues
day night the danger of illness was ap-
prehended The disease made inroads
that it was impossible for medical skill
to circumvent. All through yesterday
afternoon and through the hours of last
night the doctors and the father and
mother were at the bedside but to no
avail. This morning the news came as
shock hardly to be believed. The ar
rangements for the funeral which is
likely to be held Saturday are being
made today. The sincere sympathy of
| the many friends Of Mr. and Mrs. Fox
all over the county Will 60 out to them
in the hour of their sad afliction.

SHOT DOWN FROM BEHIND.
A Former Cavalier Co. School Teacher Meets
Tragic End in New Mexico.

The following item taken from the
Romney, Ont Times. under date of
Sept 26th, tells the tragic story of the
of the death of Walter Lyons, one the
early day teachers of Cavalier county,
and who owned farm west of Hannah
up to the time he left here in 1897.
"The friends of Walter Lyons have Just
received the particulars of his tragic
death. Mr.. Lyons had been teaching
school at Conchi. Arizona. He left there
about the middle OF May to 20 to Gallup,
N. Mex, in company with Claude Doan,
an American. It was known that Lyons
had about 500 in money on his person.
He rode roam horse and had his outfit
of blankets and tent on bay pony. He
arrived at Zuni on June Bird and went on
to Reamah, arriving there June 4th.
| When about seven miles from Reamah
Claude Doane shot Lyons from behind
through the right breast, killing him in
stantly. June 18th two Zuni boys found
hat and gloves and brought their faith
er to see them. The Indian discovered
blood on the hat and looking about found
the dead body of Lyons, where Claude
Doane had dragged it in among the
bushes. The Indian agent was notified
and came at once with his physicians, ex-
amined the body and gave it a decent
burial. and at once telephoned for the
the sheriff to start on the trail of Doane.
After following him some weeks he was
arrested and lodged in Santa Fe jail, a
distance of 200 miles from where he COM
mitted the deed. Dick Huber, mount
ed policeman found Lyons roam horse at
Albeque on the goth of August and has
it in his possession. 1t will be produced
at Doane's trial, which is to take place
at Gallup this fall. The motive for the
murder was robbery. Walter Lyons was
born at Kent Bridge, Ont, on May 9Th
1854 and spent most of his youth there
Besides his mother, a resident Of
Chatham, Ont, he leaves wife anc
three children, Pearl, Mrs. Bert Rose, o.
Hannah, North Dakota, and Irene ane
Willie, living here with their mother.
