mitted suicide in his cell, blowing his
head completely off with a 44-caliber
Colt revolver
Sheriff c. G. Haugen had just gone
down town, leaving the Jail in charge
of Deputy Sheriff John Ericsson, who,
it seems was writing at his desk in the
sheriff's Office, when he heard the door
by loud and continuous knocking on
the inner door of the Jail room. When
the officer opened the door the doctor
gave HIM violent push against the
back wall and Immediately rushed to
the sheriff's desk, and opened it, grasp

placed the revolver to his head and
scattered his brains all over the floor.

One goes to the milliners' openings,
and comes away wondering why mem
bers of this calling make most OF their
hats so ugly and impossible. When
new gowns are on display one can al
ways find a number of very beautiful
ones; but hats often seem utterly I'M
possible, the whole assortment an as
sortment of monstrosities. This year,
as we wandered YEARLY about, 1t ap-
peared to us things were worse than usu-
al, that the headgeaI was only made to
show how much stuff could be put on
single frame, never in the world intend
ed to wear. There were tip-tilted Chin
ney pots with cabbage roses on the back
by the dozen; heavy fur chapeaus that
looked like bears heads; there were
all sorts of eccentric shapes In the
"ready-to-wears." But, thank fortune,
we finally came upon some that really
could be worn and not call down general
notice on the wearer.
The one here illustrated is a model
that, It seems to us, could not well be
bettered for general use. 1t is the new
Amazon shape, and trimmed simply and
gracefully with velvet band, a buckle,
and one dropping plume. This style
does not need, as do so many of the ultra
hats, a special couture, looks well with
either high or low dressing Of the hair.
Small hats, in spite Of much talk to
the contrary, continue in the favor
shown them this summer. Also we have
the more picturesque quite large chap
eau the Sir Joseph and Gainsborough;
for what woman is there that doesn't
like to be told she looks like picture,
and must she not win the compliment by
possession of picture hat? The all
black hat vies with the all white, both
returning after a considerable absence.
A little gilt is added to the white hat,
the black may be unrelieved. Not alone
in gowns are we to see the lavish use OF
lace, but also in hats. And surely the
lace hat is very pretty.
Brown, which was threatened with re-
tirement, is still in good style. A red
plume is great favorite, green is liked,
an electric blue is coming forward.
Three-piece suits are the best style; the
white blouse, to be worn all winter, will

over the white floor and his life blood
stained the boards.
With a heart-rending cry of mis-

the fathers eyes opened, and he gazed
upward into the terror-stricken eyes

Tenderly the mother and son lifted

sheriff took charge of the child who

resulted in his fathers death.

Thus spoke the boy murderer, a

writer.
The tragic story of this child's life,
who is now incarcerated in the Lee
county Jail, at this city, is one of
incredible sadness. Reared in the
mountains, knowing only hard work
and loneliness, his baby heart had
turned over to the mother, for whom
he finally murdered his father. His
young mind clouded over with memo
ries of his fathers debauches, it was
only natural that he should law

Tender-Hearted Mother.
The story of the tragedy runs thus:
Robert Gross mother had given to
her aged and feeble father little of
the store which lay within her larder,
never counting on the parsimonious
manner in which her husband would
grudgingly object to the generosity.
In fact, she had but given to the poor
old man a pound of freshly churned
butter which she, herself, had labored
over making, and when nightfall had
the purple shadows lay close to the
hills, turned to her household duties,
and soon had set the family table,
forgetting the gift. With no thought
of the trouble to come, she even sang
about her work, and little Robert sat
by the crate log fire, wearied from
! the days blowing, awaiting his ia
Tiers belated arrival. Often his
mother turned to him with CHEEKY

of peace, and there was naught to mar
the harmony of the evening. To be
sure, the mothers brows were close
knitted, and her weary eyes showed
sign of the anticipated trouble as the
evening waxed late, for she knew too
we'll the cause Of her husbands pro-
tracted stay. There are no clubs in
the mountains: or business engage
ments to keep the mountaineers from
their hearthstones, and she feared for
the Homecoming which was to end
so fatally for them all.
A heavy, Keeling step was heard
without ere the door opened to ad-
NIT of his drunken presence. Like
wounded animal at bay, she raised
her eyes and watched him enter, yet
with patient voice bade him draw
near and be seated at the simple re-
past which she had prepared. Then
he inquired of her father and of her
gift to the old man. She answered
truthfully, and he cursed her.
To Strike Her.
When his wife confessed that she
had given of their small store to her
aged father, he was not content to
curse her, but, rising from the table,

At one of the openings last week we
were pleased to note provision, after
many years of neglect, had been made
for the elderly woman, the woman that
unshamedly acknowledges she Is no
longer young. We have grown weary
of seeing the grandmothers and great
grandmothers costumed like girls of 16;
it is refreshing to find they are offered
this season beautiful bonnets and lovely
old-lady gowns Of times past.
Of course, we do not mean we want
to see every woman put on black as soon
rs she has reached that uncertain terri
tory called certain age, but we very
much want to get away from the genera
tions-too-youthful garb.

woman downtown whom we had before
