Hieth was taken at once to the emer-

the intestines. The injured man was
later operated upon at the General
hospital. Maymon went to his home

'Hieth was standing on the east
side of the door facing south when the
negro ran in after a shot had been
fired" said Mr.. Louis. I'VE thought
it was all over when the other man
returned. He entered the door with
his revolver drawn and when within
ten feet of his victim, shot at him.
Hieth was standing a little behind

NEW EYELIDs FOR THIS MAN.
Surgeons of Kansas City Perform a
Novel Operation.

Kansas City. Kan. March, 26.-Through
the science of surgery Arthur thinner
man of 325 Franklin avenue, this city, has
been provided with new eyelids. thinner
man was burned by tar more than year
ago. After he was discharged from the
hospital the skin of the eyelids began to
contract and he could not close his eyes
This threatened his sight.
A few days ago he was taken to st.
Margarets hospital. The cuticle over the
eyes was carefully removed by the sur
geons and new skin taken from the thigh
grated over the muscle of the eyelid.
Several operations have been required to
get the skin properly placed. The physi-
clans think that within ten days the pa
tient will be able to oCen and close his
eyes as easily. or about as easily as he
would had he not been injured. One thing
only will be lackinR-eyelashes. These
surgery can not supply.
The skin had also contracted about the
mouth and an operation was necessary tc
widen the mouth. This was done by MAX
ing small incisions at each corner and
sew ing the inner membrane tc the outer
skin.
Surgeons say this is the first case in
Kansas City where a man has been pro-
vided with both eyelids Several times
small portions of skin have been grated
on one

SCALDED BY HIS WIFE.
Insane Negro Woman at Chanute At
tacks Husband.

Chanute, March 26.-Tony Bradley,
a colored man, was seriously scalded
yesterday by his insane wife, so seri-
ously, in fact, that his life almost is in
danger. She threw a bucketful of
scalding water on his face and breast
as he was asleep in bed. For a time
1t was feared that his eyesight was
ruined. but it is now believed that he
will see again, although his face, neck,
arms and back all suffered severely
Bradley is night car cleaner on the
Santa Fe railroad, and is about so
years old. His wife is a few years
younger. She has spent one term in
the insane asylum, having been taken
there only Few months ago and re-
leased about two weeks ago on parole.
Almost all the time since she returned
to her husband she has had spells of
violence. and once the officers got out
a warrant for her and were going to
return her to the asylum, but her hus-
band objected SO strenuously that the
officers decided that so long as she
did nothing worse than chase him
around with a broomstick, and con-
fined her attentions to her own fam
lily. they would leave her alone. She
had not up to this time made any at
tempt on his life.
Yesterday morning Tony had gone
to bed, as usual, and was lying on his
back asleep. His wife was doing the
washing, when she suddenly dipped up
a bucket of hot water and dashed ii
on the man as he lay sleeping When
the officers captured her later she ex-
planned that she hadn't been able to
get hold of any butcherknife to cut
his head off. so she thought she would
scald him to death.
The woman is now in the civ TAIL
and will be taken back to the ASYLUM
as soon as possible.

PREPARING FOR THE COMET
Parsons People Generally Propose T.
BE EOTehanded.

Parsons, Kan, March 26-In antici-
patton of the arrival of the comet which
is reputed to be causing the present
hot weather. Parsons people have been
doing several things The exact date of
the event has not been settled, but the
general opinion is that it will be next
week. To receive it with as little dan
ger MS possible seems to be the desire
OF several parties.
The fire department inspected the
chemical force tank on the hose wagon
on Saturday and found that it was not
up to the requirements. 1t IS the Gus
tom to charge this every six months
but on account of the comet, it was
deemed best to do it at once.
Walter Buel, chief of the fire depart
ment, ordered that the old charge be
taken out This was done, and for
hours the mixture was squirted into
the street. The tank has been recharg-
ed with the best pressure. The comet
Will be received with good fire extin-
guisher.

RADfORD up A STUMP.
Can Not Get Money to Pay Costs in
U. S. Court.

John Radford, state grain inspector.
is having trouble. The legislature
passed a bill providing for the pay
nent of costs and a judgment in the
federal court. The money is made pay
able to the clerk of the court, and the
clerk refuses to swear to the voucher,
but demands that Radford pay the
s1,O54 costs il the grain inspection
suit.
The clerk has issued an execution
and placed it in the hands OF the Unit
ed States marshal; under which the
United States marshal threatens to
take possession of two pieces of prop
erty owned by Mr.. Radford in Kansas
City.
Radford was sued by the Midland
Elevator company, because the Mid
land elevator wanted to smash" the
state grain inspection law and couldn t
bring suit against the state. At the
last session of the legislature the sum
of 81 054 was appropriated to the
clerk of the United States circuit court
to pay the balance of the costs in the
case, which went against the state.
The money is still in the state treasury,
and can be drawn only by the clerk.
The clerk indicates by his action that
he believes the state should not re-
quire him to swear that the $1.054 is
really due. The voucher for the money
was made out and sent to him, and
he signed his name for 1t. Then he
refused to swear that the bill was
really due. IS all the items do not
come under his supervision.
state Grain Inspector Radford tried
to get State Auditor Nation to pay over
the money without any swearing. but
the attorney general advised the audi
tor that this could not be done. Mean
tirua Radford. the innocent bystander
having his Kansas City property seized
for the states debt.
