LIBRARY SITE SELECTED
Will be School House Corner Unless
Board ReconsIders.

The library board Mt its meeting last
night voted to locate the library building
on the school house lots on Bridge street.
This vote was cast after getting a propo-
sltion from the school board to sell for
$3.50 and guarantee from individuals to
donate $3.50 towards the lot, leaving the
site to cost the library board $500.
The school board made their price af-
ter petition signed by large number
of citizens had been presented to the
board requesting them to take such action.
This settles the library site apparently.
1t is said today however that certain
citizens are willing to buy the McCarty
site and offer 1t free TO the library board.
II this is true 1t is still possible that the
board may reconsider its offer so as to
save $500 toward the purchase of books.
Since the action of the library board
there has been some discussion as to
whether or not the school board has the
authority to deed the property to pur-
chaser. After this discussion was
brought up II was discovered that the
deed which was made to the school board
by the church board from whom The
property was purchased, had never been
recorded, A new deed has been drawn
up and signed by the church board con-
veying the property directly to the city.
AS soon as this site question Is settled
beyond any chance of reconsidering the
board will secure plans for library
building.

From County Health Officer.

From County Health Officer.
1t has been made the duty Of the
county health officer to keep permanent
record Of the vital statistics of the county.
That is record Of the births. deaths and
marriages In the order OF their occur
renee. We desire to begin such record.
In order that 1t may be as complete as
possible II is necessary to have not only
the cooperation of the physicians of the
county. bntalso the aid of all the people.
Births frequently occur when there is no
physician In attendance and such births
are rarely reported to the proper officer.
BY this means | wish to request the
parents Of children born to them aud no
physician present, that they report to me
as soon as possible after the birth of the
child, either personally or by mail. Re-
ports Of births having occurred in 1908
and In 1904 as well as those Of 1906 will
be.thankfnlly received. We hope for o
prompt response by the people Of Ford
county. H. WHITwoRTn,

lie had taken small supply of whisky
with him to the Home and in the eve
Ming, 1t seems, missed his bottle and ac-
cused Luz and Lee of taking It.
In the argument over the matter he
shot Truax killing him almost instantly.
After shooting Lutz he turned the
weapon on Lee and fired wounding him
so badly that he died before morning.
Commandant Thomas wac busy at the
Home Tuesday and Ind not been in
formed that Truax had returned to the
home in a state OF intoxication. At
some time between O'Clock and 80
the report came to the commandant that
1utz had been shot by Truax, and when
he arrived on the scene he found that
Lee also had been shot.
Truax, it is said, was not entirely Of
sound mind when not drinking. He was
an ex-probate Judge of Meade county
and 1t Is said that he asunable to do his
work properly during bis last months in
office.
Truax was brought to the Ford county
jail after the shooting and is being held
there pending his trial.
This Is the second deplorabe event
which has happened at the home on a
holiday. On last Thanksgiving day,
James Brown was shot and killed by
George Burns, an old soldier who was
partially deranged.
The particulars regarding the above
were received by telephone from the
headquarters at the home. Later one of
the old soldiers who came in from the
home stated that Truax was not much In.
toxlcated. This informant attributes the
shooting wholly to Truax's mental con-
ditlon, and states that he has at times
before this shown strong symptoms Of
insanity, also that physicians had once
been called Ia to examine him and found
him in pretty bad condition though not
bad enough In their opinion to send to an
Insane asylum.
1t was not known at the home that
Truax had gun In bis possession. Not
long before gun was taken away from
him, but he had smuggled another one in
which had not been discovered.

-FOUR WERE
DROWNED
Team and Four People Drowned
In Duck Creek.
PARTICULARS NOT KNOWN.
Not One of the Party Escaped
to Tell the Sad Story
Bodies Were All
Recovered.
PARTICULARS NOT KNOWN.

The drowning of four young people at
ford on Duck creek last Sunday has
made The present week one Of the saddest
in tho history Of Ford county. Howard
Kolley, the only son Of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
z. Kolley, W. E. Confer and Garlic
EIethecker Of the Heilhecker & Gonter
photograph gallery, and Mrs. Emma
Parsons. daugh of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Chapman, were the victims.
The party left town shortly after s
o'clock Sunday morning to spend the
day on the Saw Log creek where they
expected to get a collection of views.
About o'clock in the afternoon re-
port was brought to town that The team
had been found In Duck creek drowned,
and that Miss Helthecker's body had been
found lodged by the bank further down
the stream. The report was brought in
by u son Of Mr.. Orebaugh who with son
of G. w. Doollttlo had found the team.
The belief that the entire party had
been drowned was too terrible to accept
and several parties OF friends started at
once for the scene hoping that there was
a mistake In the report. The team and
Miss Heithecker were found as reported
and no one could doubt further that the
others had met the same sad fate. The
body of Mr.. Confer was found the same
evening aud the other bodies were re-
covered the next morning.
The ford where the drowning occurred
Is near tho place known as the sheep
ranch The bank at this side is very
steep. The party evidently had started
down the bank before examining the
condition OF the creek. The stream is a
small one and ordinarily has little water
in it at the crossing. The rain of Sun
day morning was very heavy one, al
most cloud burst, SO that 1t at the time
The patty reached it, must haye carried
ten or twelve feet OF water with terribly
swift current The horses upon reaching
the water were no doubt carried from
their feet. 1t seems to be the general
belief that tho carriage was over turned
instantly and that all Of the party were
drowned before they could get free from
the carriage.
Mr.. Gonter. and his niece Miss
Heithecker came here last full and pur-
chased the Burrcl Studio. Miss
Heithecker's parents live In Mcpherson
and we're wired the sad news on Sunday
night and friend Of the family arrived
the next day to take the bodies to Nc
Pherson for burial.
Howard Kolley was born in Spearville
and was raised In Dodge City. He was
near 10 years Of age. His funeral was
held yesterday morning from the Kolley
residence and was attended by a great
throng of his friends in Dodge City. and
Ford county.
Mrs. Parsons, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Chapman was married here
several years ago, but for some time has
been making her home in Dodge City.
She leaves three little children. Her
funeral was held this morning at 10
O'Clock from the Presbyterian church.
