TRAGEDY IN wEAKLEY COUNTY
Divorced Man Kills His Former Wife
and Then Himself.

Divorced Man Kills His Former Wife
and Then Himself.
Joe Castleman, farmer, 90 years
of age, who resided near the east.
ern boundary OF Obion County just
over the line in Weakley, killed his
wife, from whom he had been di-
vorced, with shotgun and then
discharged t h e remaining barrel
into his own body.
Mr.. Castleman had been resi-
dent of. that section for number
of years. He had raised family
of SIX children, two of whom were
living with his wife when the trag-
d y occurred. Some time ago
trouble arose between Castleman
and his wife, resulting in suit by
Mrs. Castlemapsfor divorce and ali
monY. The case was decided in her
favor and she was in possession of
the farm. The two boys at home
had made a crop for their mother
and they we're all doing we'll and
enjoying peace and comfort until
Monday morning. Castleman came
to the house about daylight, armed
with shotgun, and finding Mrs.
Castleman, fired at her, the shot
entering her bosom. The boys fled
and there were no witnesses, but it
is presumed he killed himself inn
mediately afterwards. His gun and
a tobaccost stick were lying alongside
his dead body and the inference is
that he leaned the gun against his
body, with the butt on the ground
and the barrel against his chest
and with tobacco stick against
TIL e trigger fred the discharge
which ended his own life.
The Castlemans had had consid-
cradle unhappiness in their home,
which ultimately resulted in the
wife filing bill for divorce in the
Circuit Court there. The case was
tried at the spring term of Circuit
Court, Mr. Castleman bitterly re-
sisting it. caring more, he said, for
his property than for the divorce.
In fact he seemed anxious to get
rid of his wife provided he could |
retain his property. The jury de-
cided against him, and Judge Maj
den granted his wife an absolute
divorce and gave her possessio4 of
all the property. This so angered |
Castleman that he swore vengeance
and said he would burn the house
before he would let his wife live
longer in it. His mind seemed to
be gone, and Judge Maiden express
ed the belief that the old man was
demented.
Sometime last winter Mr.. aud |
Mrs. Castleman's h 0 me was de-
strbyed by FIRE. Castleman was seen
in the neIghborhood, and Mrs. Cas-
tleman had him arrested and tried |
before Esq. Dunagan, of Martin, |
when he was released, the evidence
not being sufficient to bind him
over to court.
Last Sunday he went to the fam
lily graveyard OF Mr.. Hurt, near his
old home place, and cleared off a |
place beside his mothers grave, |
stating that he wanted to be buried
there when he died.
Mrs. Castleman was so years of
age and the family lived in the
Fourteenth District of Weakley
County.

J. y. Million of Central Missouri
was in the city last week, having es-
cortpd large number of people from
his section of the country He stated
that he sold 10000 acres of land
near Hereford TO his Missouri and
Illinois friends and all were well
pleased With their investments, He
also sold two tracts of land about
five miles from Amarillo TO parties
from the same town he lives in one
Dr. j w Hendricks. and the other
to Mat Emerson. In speaking OF the
Panhandle Mr.. Million said You
have got the hest country on earth,
and You don't know it We were
the same way one time In my sec
ton, and now we sec the error Of our
way The Panhandle lands are as
good as the 500 to $3.50 land in
Missouri Iowa Indiana and Illinois
You can raise just as much or more
wheat per acre, Just as fine corn, as
prolific crops of milo-maize and other
forage products, and yet the great
value Of this section Is just now
dawning upon you You have been
sleeping these years on these oppor-
tunities, for The day Of cheap prop
critics is fast disappearing You can
no longer buy this land for song,

j. A. Wayland, the publisher of
the Appeal to Reason, is man of
keen business sagacity, who has es-
tablished a journal, probably the
abest and most widely circulated Of
the kind in the world. lie has won
a place among leading thinkers and
publishers by sheer force of charac-
ter and unremitting zeal in cause
TO which he has brought more adher-
ents than any other one man on this
side of the Atlantic. While an &C
knowledged leader in the political
views he espouses, he accords every
man the right to think as he pleases.
The business judgment OF Mr., Way
land is what, at this time, has been
brought to our notice. Amarillo real
estate has proved an attraction to
him to the extent OF something like
$4,000, and in his great paper he
gives his readers the benefits OF what
Amarillo investments will do for
them.

In picking the winners at the next
presidential election, everything has
narrowed down to w. j. Bryan and
Theodore Roosevelt. Bryan never
has been favorite with the big cor
poratons and the millions they have
put up to beat him in his campaigns
does not make w. j. feel like ne is
particularly indebted in that direc-
ton If Roosevelt keeps on ham
mering away at the Standard Oil,
railroad and beef trusts, he will spoil
the source of revenue for republican
campaigns So 1t looks as II the
president elected in 1908 will go In
without a slush fund behind him
something novel in national politics
since the civil war.

opportunity to represent the district
nine days, or during the special SEES
sion of the legislature, which was
called for one purpose only There
fore he has not been given an oppor-
