BY WIFE
DR.. EMMETT PERDUE TOLD THAT
IF HE VISITED MISSOURI
HE WOULD DIE.
Expressed No Fear of Violence, but
Bought Revolver, and It Is Be-
Iieved He Was Killed by Bullet
From His Own Weapon-BulIet
Found in Brain.

A prominent citizen of this city in
formed the Herald this week that he
had a long conversation with DR.. En-
NETT Perdue when the doctor was on
his way out to the railroad with the
children, on his fatal trip to Missouri,
says the Grand Encampment Herald.
The doctor INDUCED in many on
fidences concerning his family affairs,
and among other things he said that
he had received a letter from Mrs. Per
due in which she wrote hat if the doc
tor went to Missouri after her he would
be killed.
A close friend of the doctor advised
him to purchase a revolver and carry
it in anticipation of trouble, but the
doctor expressed himself as fearless of
any violence. He changed his mind,
however, before he left, and purchased
a revolver, which he took with him in
his grip.
1t is o believed at Richmond that
the bullet which killed DR.. Perdue was
fired from his own gun, which was
found on the kitchen table at the
Leakey home, where the shooting took
place. DR.. Perdue's body has been
exhumed and the bullet extracted from
his brain.

Positive Proof.

A certain captain stationed at Fort
Le~avenworth "a summoned by has
colonel to answer a charge of assault
preferred against him by a sentry, who
had stated that the officer had used
him pretty roughly n evening at the
gate of the barracks.
A humorous phase of the affair was
that apparently the officer had no rec
objection of the alleged assault COM
mitted by him upon the sentry. The
latter had made so bold as to declare
the officer vas intoxicated.
Among others questioned. there was
the orderly in attendance upon the cap
tain. The orderly. an Irishman, pro
tested vigorously that the allegation of
the sentry was a slander-that he was
sure the captain was perfectly sober
the evening of the alleged assault.
Why are you so sure that Captain
Blank was sober that evening" the
orderly was asked. Did he speak to
you upon his return to his quarters?'
He did. sir"
What did he say"
He told me to be shure an call him
early in the mornin', sir"
and did the captain say why he
wished to be called early?"
"Yis. sir, he did. sir. He said he was
goin' to be queen of the May. sir" re-
sponded the orderly with convincing
gravity.-Collier's Weekly.

tifully all over the plains. The white
thistle is a Wyoming flower, SO is the
yucca, and the columbine, and the
yellow or pink cactus; but do not let

to even imply that they do not know
a g~entian from a daisy (aster).
