We are told of a married, male
citizen of Keytesville who ''got
in bad" at Salisbury Monday
night through criminal intimacy
with another mans wife and was
mutilated by the irate husband in
q nameless manner, but finally
managed to get away before he
was emasculated. though he had
"a mighty close CALL"
He was asleep in bed with the
woman when her husband arriv-
ed, saw the situation, got out his
knife and went to work. A lively
tussle soon ensued and the Key.
tesville man escaped, clad la
Adam, and went to a livery barn.
believing that he would have to
be placed in a gelding's stall.
A Salisbury physician, how.
ever, made the badly needed re-
pairs, and the gay bird returned
home in the we sma' hours of
Tuesday morning, feeling, no
doubt, more like capon than a
cock,
No arrests are reported, and as
everybody is satisfied, and es-
peeially the Keytesville man be-
cause he Jared no worse, We
mention no names.
| MORAL: Don't get gay, but il
you do, don't get caught.

Lincoln, June s0.---E. H. Everoad. of Columbus, Ind. who was caller at the Fairyiew residence of Wfn. J. Bryan today, declared that he is not for Jno. W. Kern of his state for vice.presi- dent.
 John Mitchell should be named. he thought, to prove to the labor unions that the democratic party is the true friends of labor.
 saThe democratic party has always been the friend of labor and with a strong anti-injunction plank in the platform and Jno.

May Support Gray.

Lincoln. June 3o.--The Nebraska dele gatton to the Denver Convention will approve any New York man on whom the factions of that State can unite for President. Failing in this. Nsbraska will vote solidly for Judge Gray for Vice-President. The record of Judge Gray Is regarded as one of the best for pleasing the labor votes, and it is for these votes that the Dem- ocratic party is going to make it's strongest bid, assert the Nebraskans.
 The Nebraska delegation, which ts considered in. accord with Mir. Bryan in every particular. is standing for a strong anti-injunetion plank which will satisfy the demands of President Com pers and other labor leaders. This ele. ment win be further pleased with the nomination of Judge Gray for Prest- ment if the New York factions can not agree on a man.
 The visit of Josiah Marvel of VII mington. Del, the manager of Judge Gray's campaign. has accentuated the belief that the Delaware man is per- soma grata with MT. Bryan. Mr. Mar vel visited at Fairview for some time yesterday. put has not yet given out any statement further than that Judge Gray will be a candidate for President.
 The tariff plank of the Democratic platform will be very similar to those in platforms of former years. The att titude of Nebraska delegates on the tariff question has not changed. and they will demand revision at once, &C., cording to a prominent man who Is close to MT. Bryan.
