bullet in his neck is the result of an
argument James ID. Walker had with
the head waitress of the Hotel Man
.sard. Walker is salesman for the
r. A. Peterson Tobacco company, and
halls from Richmond, Va.
He was stopping at the hotel. and
the service at breakfast did not suit
him. Calling the head waitress he
made a complaint, It is said, and a
dispute followed.
During its progress Harry Price,
manager of the hosiery, entered the
dining room and took part in the
talk. Hot words followed and he
fired revolver, the bullet striking
Walker in the neck. The wounded
man was removed to a hospital at
Huntington, w. Va, where his con-
dition is pronounced very critical.
Price was placed under arrest.
Harry Price was formerly City At
torney of Catlettspurg, but resigned
some months ago. He is a graduate
of Ann Arbor University, and has
been married.
Shortly after the Spanish-American
war his brother, sergeant in COM
pany L.. First Kentucky Volunteers,
was reduced to the ranks by the Cap
tain, r. S. Carr This angered Price,
and, II is alleged, he shot the cap
tain. The latter recovered, and moth
ing was ever done about the case.
Early last summer Price, IL is said,
stabbed a negro while in Hunting
ton. w. Va. and was charged with
cutting TO kill. but was later released.
In August last he shot, another negro
in this city, it is declared but moth
ing came of the case.
Some months ago while on visit
to Cincinnati he was found uncon-
scious in a hotel and taken to a hos
pital. He soon recovered and re
turned home.

In Report of the Prison Com
missiOners.
Recommendation to BE Made For
More Humane Method For Carr
ing For Convicts.
A NET DEFICIT OF $500 EXISTS

The state prison. commission com
posed of George " Green, Commits
sioners Fennell and McCutchen have
completed its report for the Ken
lucky legislature.
The recommendation are numer.
Gus. The most important being the
suggestion that some more humane
method of caring for convicts with
consumption be found The prison
physician and the wardens of the
two penitentiaries make the recon-
mendation for a separate dollhouse,
and II is probable that one will be
provided at the Frankfort peniten-
tiary by erecting new quarters over
the present dollhouse. Improvements
which are recommended will cost
many thousands of dollars. One i'm
proyement which Is strongly urged Il
the erection of a suitable hospital al
the Frankfort penitentiary. II is es-
timated that this will cost about $780,
600.
The clerks reports show that al
the Frankfort penitentiary there was
net profit of s2,179. taking credit
as formerly. for improvements
amounting to sS,722.7S. The branch
penitentiary at Eddyville shows q
deficit of sS,15G.75. making a net
deficit for the two prisons of s5,976.
s5. The deficit is caused by increas
ed prices of food and clothing, AM
the increased salaries paid to guards
under the act of the legislature o.
1904.
The board recommends that tn,
parole law be amended so that pa
roles shall he perpetual, and tina
the limited time controlling the eligi
bility of a lifetime prisoner be made
ten years instead of five; that pris
oners serving a sentence of two
years and under shall not be eligible
to parole, and that parole conyicti
shall not be allowed to leave tn,
state. but must remain within thu
Jurisdiction of the board; that parole
convicts be required to report OF
January I. and July l of each year
that the sentence of attempted Grim

parole the same as criminal assault
The figures showing the number o.
convicts confined during the pas
year show that the number has in
creased. The total number of pris

1,277, while the number in Eddy

TRIPLE TRAGEDY
In The SOUTH
Special Dispatch to tn. Call.

VISALIA, Feb. 27.-Frank Elster
murdered his wife. shot to death Mil
ton S. Hubbs. and then, to free him
self from the worry and strain of a
trial, turned the smoking gun to his
own head and blew out his brains
yesterday at Springville. Infidelity is
alleged TO be the cause of the triple
killing. For some time Elster had
suspected his wife of infidelity, and
charged several men with frequenting
his house while he was absent.
Shortly after his breakfast yesterday
Elster left his home to see a neighbor
but half a mile away. After transact
ing what business he had with this
man, Elster started back home and on
the road he met Hubbs, who was rid
ing in a buggy with a friend named
Blake. Elster stopped the men in the
road. They were on their way to Por-
terville to play a game of ball. AS
Hubbs and Blake brought their horses
to stop Elster walked UP on the side
of the vehicle occupied by Blake and
handed the latter a letter which he
asked him to mail. At the same time
he drew revolver, leveled it at Hubbs
and fired two shots in rapid success
sion. Both bullets took effect in the
body of Hubbs and he fell over in the
buggy Seat. Blake attempted to turn
the vehicle around, intending to hasten
to Springville for assistance, but Ell
ster ordered Blake at the point of the
revolver to proceed down the road. Ell
ster fired another shot, which took ef-
feet in the neck of Hubbs.
After shooting Hubbs Elster turned
and started across the fields for his
home. When he arrived his wife was
gone. but his two little girls, aged
eight and ten were in the house alone
Elster knew that his wife was but
short distance away, and he went
across the road to the Dillon home to
find her. He knocked at the door and
Dillon came to answer the CALL The
latter knew that trouble was brewing
and told Elster to postpone an inter
view with his wife. Elster insisted
into the dining-room and called Mrs.
Elster stepped into the hallway and
as his wife approached he grabbed her
by the arm and said: Come out on
the porch. 1 want to talk with you"
Mrs. Elster refused to leave the
house, and while he was holding her
b. one arm he fired two shots into
her breast. He released his hold on
her and she turned to go into the bed
room. As she walked away Elster
fired another shot into her body and
she fell.
Elster walked out into the front
yard and blew out his brains by firing
a bullet into his left temple.
