A. A. Cozad had the misfortune Of
loosing his new cave one day last week
by it's falling in. He had just complet-
ed it and it is thought that the walls
had not become dry enough. 1t was
made out of cement only about two feet
in the ground and about six feet out of
the ground. A frame WAS used to mould
the walls and was taken away too soon.
This means a loss of about $50 to Mr.
Cozad. -Pleasanton Index.

A young son OF Harry Mullen, Of Troy
township, was out cunning one day
last week with small rifle. He says
he was shooting at birds and saw no
one near, but the shot struck Mr.. SUIT
ton, who was out with the Standard Oil
Wagon, in the shoulder and inflicted a
severe wound. MIR. Sutton was brought
to the Osceola Hospital and search was
made for the ball but without success.
1t was small bullet and had buried it
self deeply in the feshy part of the
shoulder. Upon hearing the shot and
seeing the wounded man Mr.. Sutton's
brother, who was with him, sprang from
the wagon and started in pursuit of the
boy, who throwing away his gun fed in
wild fright and could not be overtaken.
The shooting was evidently without in
tention to do mischief and no arrests
have been made. The boy is about
twelve years old. The main criticism
is that he was too young to be entrust-
ed with a gum Osceola Democrat.

The jury was only out ten minutes when they returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed the punishment at death. Card was sentenced to hang on the 30th of this month.
 The crime for which Card was con- victed is one of the most diabolical ever known in the history of the coun- ty. Without the least provocation he crept to young Bob Arrington's home and pointing gun against his temple his aged mother a blow on the head. striking her into insensibility. and fled with what effects he could find and escaped arrest for nearly two years.

 It was learned from farmers visiting the city today that numbers of acres of cotton will have to be turned out on account of the inability to get labor. In many sections 75 cents to $1.00 per day has been offered laborers and still they can not be had. With this eKcep- ton the crops are fine and for the greater part are clean of grass and promise an abundant yield.
 The U. D. c. and the City Gun Club promise some fine sport during next month. The former will hold big picnic and barbecue at Guices' pond in the suburbs and the latter will have a big shooting tournament in which some of the best shots from other States will participate and S100 ham merless gun will be awarded the best shot
