however, no talk Of lynching, though
the city of Valley junction was very
much excited.
AS nearly as could be learned, the
assault was entirely unprovokei-
Libby, who has been car inspector

ing. No one witnessed the start OF
the trouble. When the men assault
ed Libby with long bar Of iron he
gave a yell which brought a numher
OF train men and track men to his
aid. These men tore the three DRINKS
away from the victim. The tramps
stained to run across the country
north OF town. When. Is was dis
covered that Libby's injuries might
prove fatal the chase of the men
began.

ACTORS LOVE WAS HOPELESS
Telephoned Girl He Would Suicide,
Then Did So.


Waverly.-An actors love for the
daughter Of a bank president and
the niece of railroad magnate, caus-
ed a tragedy in hotel here, when
A. H. Keller, a hypnotist, shot him
self to death. Before he sent the
bullet crashing into his brain he rang
up Miss Hazel Cass, the girl whom
he loved, and sent this message to
her at Sumner:
II am going to kill myself"
When the terse statement was CIV
en- her, the girl FASTENED to the tele.
Phone in an effort to prevent the
terrible tragedy. She was too late.
The belEtoy who took her call to the
room Of the actor found him dead on
the floor, 32.caliber bullet In his
brain.
Keller only met the girl week
ago. He was at Sumner, where he
gave performance in the opera
house Of j. s. Cass. father Of the
young woman. He fell In love with
her pretty face and gentle ways. He
was introduced, but the young girl,
who IL only II years old, had no more
than speaking acquaintance with
him. She did not treat him any
different than she did hundreds of
others whom she met. But Keller
was ever haunted by the image of
the young society girl and when he
left Sumner for Waverly his love for
her had become q mania.
He had boon IN fnun for moro than
week arranging his dates for a
tour Of the state. He went to the
long.distance telephone and called up
Miss Cass. The girl did not come to
the line and he left the grim message
to be delivered to her when she ar
rived.
