ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Ben McQuinn, who has been
working at Harvey Thompson's liv-
cry stable, made an attempt on his
life at Mrs. Adams hotel last We'd
neSday night. He cut a cash in his
throat about three inches long and
only a little more than skin deep,
with a razor, when Newt Warren
who boards there and works in
Meyers Bros. blacksmithshop, in
terfered. McQuinn tried to fight
Warren and it was necessary for
Mr.. Warren to down him twice and
bruise his face a little to subdue
him. Mrs. McQuinn was working
for Mrs. Adams at the time and she
and her husband have been quarrel
ing. 1t is said that he has threat
ened her life. Jealousy is the prin-
cipal trouble. Mrs. McOuinn is now
at the Central hotel. Drs. Kociell
and Moore were called to sew up
McOuinn's wound and he is up and
at work again and has abandoned
the notion of dying. The fami ly

JACK NICHOLS HURT

Jack Nichols was badly cut on the
leg last Wednesday while cutting
corn on a sled, for Jim Clarke on
the Keifner ranch three miles west
of the city. Jacks horse beca me
frightened while the sled was in
motion, and suddenly stopped.
This threw him off the sled in
front of the knife and the horse
made a quick plunge forward.
Before Jack could get out of the
way the knife struck him on the
back of the leg at the shoetop, cut
ting SO deep that it severed the
leaders and cords. DR.. Donovan
was called and sewed up the wound.
There is danger that the accident
will make Mr.. Nichols a cripple for
life. The severed cords will proba-
bly, not knit as they should which
will result in a stiffness of the leg.
Jack is able to get around with
the aid of crutcheS.

HELD FOR TRIAL.
Fra nix Buck, Frank White and Elmer
Williams Must Face Charge Of
Cattle Stealing Before Jury.

Last week the Index noted the
arrest of Frank White and Elmer
Williams on a charge of stealing
two heifers from Jim Hale's pas
ture in Aetna township. Since
that time Frank Buck of Oklahoma
was also added to the list.
Their preliminary hearing was
before Justice Collins on Wednes-
day. Buck waived but Williams
and White fought for their liberty.
They were bound over to the dis
trict court and required to give
bail in the sum of $500 each
which they gave. Tom Blown
and Fred Shredder of Kiowa, and
Will Derrick of Hardtner, bailed
them out. Jim Hearn and Claude
Arthur of Eldred, offered to furnish
bail for Buck but they learned that
he was also wanted at Woodward
and that he would be jailed down
there if released here hence they
decided to let things stand as they
are.
The claim of White and Will
liams is that they bought the cat
tie from Buck but Buck is not
ready to confirm the story. The
"doctoring" of the brands was a
botch job and was easily detected.
County Attorney Griffin, assisted
by w. l.. Owen, is, prosecuting.
Noble 81 Tincher are defending
White and Williams,a and Seward l.
Field is defending Buck.
The ludicrous feature of the case
is that two of the accused are mem
bers of the Hardtner Anti Horse
Thief Association and are being
backed by some Of the members of
that organization. They will be
tried in the district court next
week unless a continuance issecur-
ed

MATRIMONIAL.
JoHNsoN-GlBsoN.

Mr.. Charles Johnson and Miss
Cornelia Gibson of TINS city were
united in marriage at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church last Wednes-
day evening, September 27th. The
Methodist ritualistic service was
followed and Rev. w. H. Moore
was pastor in charge of the cere-
monies. Mrs. T. j. Best presided
at the organ and played the we'd
ding march, and Misses Gladys
Gibson, Alma Shell and Lillian
Lorton were the ushers. The
church was tastily decorated with
ferns. A very large assemblage of
we'll wishing friends of the con-
tracing couple witnessed the we'd
ding ceremonies.
The bride was beautifully attir-
ed in a wedding gown of b iue e
Taffeta silk with heavy lace trim
mings, and carried a boquet of
carnations. The groom wore the
conventional black.
After the couple were pronounced
husband and wife a reception was
given at the home of the brides
mother on Walnut street, attended
by relatives and a few intimate
friends. Light refreshments were
served by the young lady ushers.
The groom is the elder son of
Mrs. Emma Johnson-Adams. He
is identified with the business in
terests of the city, being half owner
of the Kinkaid & Johnson livery
business. He was brought up in
this city and has accomplished
what success he enjoys through en-
ergy and industry and business tact.
The bride is daughter of Mrs.
]. P. Gibson. Of her worth too
much can not be said. She is prom
inent in the city's church and So
cial circles and is highly esteemed
by all her acquaintance who are
to be found in both the city and
country.
The Index desires to add itscom-
pliments to the many that have al
ready been showered on this de-
serving couple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson are at
home to their friends for the present
in the Vaughn property on First
Avenue east.

AFTER THE NEWLY MARRIED.

Medicine Lodge had an example
of the strenuous life last Wednes-
day and Thursday nights. The
newly married people were enter
tained by a crowd which seemed to
include everybody in town if we are
to Judge from the noise made.
Charley surrendered and did the
right thing by the boys and girls on
the first visit but it required several
onslaughts two different nights to
make Bill Fuller "come through"
but he finally came on with the
goods.

FULLER-LYTLE.

William Fuller and Miss Mary
Lytle were married by Probate
Judge Gleason on Tuesday night,
Sept. 10th, at his residence. Their
friends were taken by surprise.
They knew the event was billed
but they did not anticipate it to be
so sudden. Mr.. Fuller is one of
our county's extensive steckmen
and his bride is also a property
owner within our gates and a
shrewd business lady. They are
residing in the brides residence on
South Walnut and have reason to.
long remember that their friends
have not forgotten them.

In Miss Daisy Higgins Omaha
possesses one of the most brilliant
artists. AS an accompanist she
has no superior in the west. Dur
ing the season of 1898 and 1899
Miss Higgins made tour that en-
braced all the principal cities IN the
east, appearing in over so concerts.
During this tour she received the
most flattering notices from the
press. To say that it was a most
delightful concert would only be
expressing the general opinion of
the audience as manifested by the
hearty applause. Miss. Gertr ude
klrkSmith IS superb performer on
that beautiful instrument, the viola,
as well as being a fine singer. Miss
Maude Kirksmitll proved herself a
thoroughly capable musician both
as leader of the quartet and as sole
violinist. While Miss Lillian Kirk
smith, the third of the sister trio,
betrayed such marvellous skill as a
flutist as to create astonishment
She is doubtless the greatest young
