TRAGIC MYSTERY
OF THREE DEATHS
Was it Murder, Suicide Pact,
or Duel With No Quarter.
Mark and IVES Wilson and Their
Cousin Arthur West. All Shot
I'm Store.
LYNNvILLE's LATEST CREME

One OF the most mysterious crimea
ever committed in Graves county was
brought to light Sunday evening about
$50 o'clock when the dead bodies OF
Yves Wilson and Arthur West were
found lying in pools Of blood in Mark
Wilson's store. in LynnviMe, with the
proprietor himself. unconscious and
diving. within four feet of them. Mark
Wilson expired without uttering
word. and not the slightest clew TO
the motive or manner of the triple
homicide was to be gathered from the
circumstances except that the reyol-
ysrs of Yves Wilson and Arthur West
clutched tightly in their raid fingers,
told that these two had done the fir'
ing
Ten shots were fired in all. These
were distinctly heard by two mon
named Page and Poiner who found
the bodies. and the accuracy of their
hearing was borne out by the discov'
cry Of i've empty shells in each revol
v0r.
The testimony of Page and Poiner
serve 10 further intensity tho mystery
OF the tragedy. These two men with
the Wilson's. who are brothers, and
West. their cousin went to Mark WI
sons store Sunday afternoon. There
is no liquor sold in Lynnville, and the
witnesses stated that all three men
we're sober. Mark and Yves Wilson
and Arthur West we're In the best OF
humor when Page and Poiner left the
store about 5:3O o'clock Sunday even
ing, according TO the testimony OF the
latter. They had proceeded but a
short distance when ten revolver
shots in quick succession. emanating
from the store. caused them to halt
and turn back. They knew where the
reports came from. When they en-
tered the building by breaking in the
front door they found the three men
stretched on the floor, no two over
three feet apart. The floor was
drenched with blood. Yves Wilson
and Arthur West we're quite dead
The former had bullet wound over
the right eye and the latter hole
through his heart. Their deaths were
instantaneous.
Mark Wilson was still breathing
The left side of his nose was shot
away by bullet that p.owed its way
straight into his head. Another lead
en- missile had passed just above his
heart. Page and Poiner examined
tho men and. finding Mark wilson
alive, carried him out TO the porch,
where he died almost Immediately.
The men we're not gambling, drink
ing or quarreung. They could
scarcely have started a quarrel in the
short time elapsing between the de-
parture of Page and Poiner and the
shooting. The general belief is that
the affair was in the nature OF duel
and that Yves Wilson I'D Arthur West
repaired to the store for the purpose
OF finishing each other.
II was within short distance OF
the store that Walter Mccain shot and
killed his brother and John Canter a
year ago. Mccain was given eighI
years for tho crime.
All three OF the participants In this
latest tragedy we're married and leave
families. Mark Wilson was about so
years old; IVES was about 40 years
Old and Arthur West was between 80
and 40 years old.

Sat quite motionless.

She got up, restlessly, and wandered
to the window. What a gray day it
was! Would it never stop raining?
Could anything pleasant happen in
such mudcolored world on such a
God-forsaken day? 1t was a day to
weep about, and the woman wept, her
head against the window casing.
By-andby, she threw aside the cur
tain, savagely, and came back to the
fire. She sat down again, leaning her
elbows on her knees and her chin
resting in her hands, and stared again
into the flames. as it was a day for
weeping, so it was a day for serious
thought. What did she want to do
with her life, the woman asked the
fire. She had been a drlfter and
butterfly too long. She had always
said that God put us here for a pur-
pose, to do some work in the world
but what was her purpose? What was
her work in the world? She must an.
swer those questions some day. Was
it time to answer them to-day? Had
she serious work to do alone in the
world, a name to achieve? Did she
want to go on like this, admired and
courted, as long as she could? Or
did she desire-something else? An
oftsquoted line came to her. There
is tide in the affairs of men" She
felt that she had just made bitter
mistake. Suppose this were the tide
and she was about to take another
step yet more unfortunate? She knit
ted her brows. Oh! for sense to think
calmly! Would she choose her future
life to-day when the opportunity was
given her? Or would she-wait?
1t seem to her all at once that little
faces wreathed themselves in the dart
ing flames and little forms reached
out their arms TO her-a chubby
faced boy with a hurt finger to be
kissed and rosy cheeks to be washed,
a blue-eyed girl with curls to be
smoothed and a sash to be tied, and a
baby, round and dimpled, to be cud-
died. The woman lent nearer the fire.
The room grew very silent and she sat
quite motionless, staring into the
crate. The clock licked loudly and
the rain hit the window pane Dusk
was falling, but she did not appear to
notice.
The telephone bell rang sharply and
the woman, with new, strange light
in her eyes, got up softly and went
to answer It.
you were good to send me the
roses" she said into the mouthpiece.
"Tonight?-Yes. had meant to call
you and tell you that you might come

telltale thing! ! think you have
guessed my answer, dear

What Should We Eat?

Germany is eating horse. A ten
course dinner of Algerian lion was
served by a Partisan Tartarin, who
basely bought instead of shooting the
game, says Everybody's Magazine.
Monkey is said to be excellent, with
a faraway flavor of rabbit, but many
diameters more savory. Still monkey
eating is cannibalism, If our ances-
tors really were arboreal in their hab-
it's.
An English traveller and game bag
ger in Africa swore that baked ele-
plants foot was dainty dish to set
before king-not an African woody
monarch, but even Edward VII. him
self, who knows something of the re-
finements of artistic cookery and has
an experienced palate. Another Eng
lishman-why is it always an English
man to whom these original and
courageous tastes are attributod?-an
Englishman averred that beacon
strictor, properly cooked, was better
than the best veal. And yet beacon
strictor has no mercy on the calf.
To conclude, man can and does eat
most anything, and in drink his cour-
age is still greater.

Demand for Good Literature.

Of many years, finds among other
tendencies of the day marked in
crease in the Intellectual life of Amer
lea. Not only have business and pro-
fessional men come to be reckoned
in great numbers among buyers Of
good literature but large clientele
of women readers prefer a well-writ-
ten story of only moderate interest to
a badly written romance of absorb
ing theme. He also finds growing
appreciation of really good poetry, a
tendency to pay more attention to
book reviews in periodicals of ac-
knowledged standing and a demand
for books of serious import to be
read in" instead of read through"

Cake Made by German Empress.

When Poultney Bigelow was a boy
in Germany he was often asked to
spend his holidays with the young
prince who is now German emperor
On one occasion the two lads were
having supper in the gardens, meal
of milk, bread and butter, stewed fruit
and some very simple raisin cake. All
the young princesses were there, as
well as Prince Henry, who now com.
mands the German navy. The cake
aroused much interest, being a luxury
highly priced in household where the
diet was measured by hygienic prin.
