1t is stated that according to the
law the women were not legally en-
titled to vote at the election, but this
fact would not alter the result neces-
sarily, If it could be shown the ma
jority of men voting had cast their
suffrage in favor of the bonds.
Should. however, the women vote be
thrown out and. the majority of the
male votes be in opposition to the
bond question, it would be defeated.

David Muir Shoots at His Fiancee
Then Kills Himself.

Cimarron, Kan. Nov. 27.-David
Muir, clerk in the Cleveland house
of this city, aged %, shot himself and
died fourteen hours afterwards with
out regaining consciousness. He be-
lieved that he had killed his f1ancee,
Miss Anna Davis. of this city in what
is supposed to have been a fit of tenn
per or insanity caused by various
troubles. He fred point blank at Miss
Davis, who fell to the ground in
swoon. Thinking that he had killed
her he turned the weapon on himself
and sent a bullet crashing into his
brain just above the right ear.
Miss Davis stands very high in the
community, being a prominent church
and Sunday school worker. She was
uninjured, but suffered severe shock
to her nervous system. Muir's in
ability to stop drinking seemed to be
the direct cause of the tragedy. The
two had been engaged for only a few
weeks.
