The wife and babe Of Joe Stefka we're
Shot and killed at Their Home
Near Town.



Halletsville last Thursday for safe
keeping, pending their examining
trial, which will take place Monday
here at Sinner,
Steika denies any knowledge as
to who did the killing. He claims
that he was in the field at work
during the morning, and returned
to his horse lot about 10 o'clock to
shuck some corn for his horses,
from there he went to the house
and discovered the dead body of
his wife and child. He states that
he heard no guns fred nor any dis.
turbance whateYer. The officers
discovered blood spots on Stefka'e
clothes and boots, but he claims
that this came from killing q hog
the day previous.
The theory advanced by Stefka
and his friends is that it was case
Of suicide.
The officers have been diligent
in working mp the case. Sheriff
Mobiles and County Attorney Bag
ley came over last Thursday and
made thorough investigation Of
the case. Sheriff Noble was also in
town last Friday and Saturday
looking up evidence.

The same shots that tore away the
woman's breasts also killed the

murdefous assault was committed.
There were evidences Of terri

ke's gun, which laid near the
bodies with three empty shells on
the flo, r and two in the gun, did
che bloody work OF the murderer
Az tha woman was not killed with
those terrible wounds, the murder
er, after scuffle with the woman
who in trying to save her life had
evidently caught hold Of the gun
as shown by the bloody tiDgel
marks upon the barrel, but it wal
ierked away from her and the muz
zle placed 10 her head and nearly
the whole top Of her head shO
away, scattering blood and brainI

proposition having for its object the
adoption Of the initiative and refer

This proposition received favorable ac-
ton when it came up before the inter

it will probably be adopted by the gen

each union will be required to place
candidates in nomination for Office or

nominated by local unions must secure
the Endorsement Of at least three states

as the one thing most desired, but in

Excess fat is disease. It is caused by
imperfect assimilation Of food. Nutri-
ment which should go into muscle, sinew,
bone, brain and nerve does not go there,
but piles up in the form Of superhnous
fat, which clogs the human machinery
and congresses the vital organs OF the
body and endangers health and life.
MY new Obesity Food, taken at meal
time compels perfect assimilation OF the
food and sends the food nutriment where
it belongs. It requires no starvation pro-
