The Shakespearean lecture at the

the Rev. f. G.. Clark of Virginia was
a rare literary treat. The lecturer
took the greatest thoughts from the
pen of the greatest literary genius,
and with his keen mind cut them up
and spread them out on the table of
the minds banqueting house until his
audience saw their beauty, breathed
their perfume, fed upon their rich
ness and felt their power. The

his hearers followed him with growing
interest for two hours.

Refused notice." Every editor

The postmaster sends 1t to the editor.
For instance, there is man by the
name of, we'll say John Jones, who re.
fuses to take his paper out of the post
office. He did not want it any longer.
We wondered what was the matter.
Upon investigation of our subscrip-
lion book we found John was short
$3.50. He had stopped his paper as a
matter Of economy to US. A few even
ings ago we stepped into church, and
Johns melOdiOus voice rang out loud
aud clear in the substituting song,
Jesus Paid L. ALL" We might have
been mistaken, but his earnestness
impressed us. The next day we sent
him receipt in full, begging his par
dou for not knowing he had made an
assignment of his liabilities to the
Lord.

Desert or Garden Spot.

A very interesting contest cas
was in hearing before Hon. N. V.
Galiegos last Friday and Saturday
in the case of William Z. Hurst VS.
Mary A. Jones, the contest of a
desert entry in which the general
question involved was whether or
not we live in a desert or a garden.
The defence proved beyond all
reasonable doubt that this is such a
desert that the Sahara Desert
would be a paradice beside it, and
that a crow flying over this coun-
try would have to carry its own
provisions. On the other hand
the plaintiffs case would make
good reading for a Rock Island
Booklet on the Land of Sunshine,
or a Real Estate Mans Food for
Advertising. To say the least this
desert entry has been the hardest
fought case this year, and the con-
clusion is that it must be valuable
for some purpose. Thousands of
farmers are glad to get land and
are making farms of it.

OF
WHEELER G

BY request | will give a state
ment of the Wheeler tragedy
which occurred near Endee on the
2oth inst, as given by the two
witnesses Horace Gibson and
Tommie Burnum. Tom Burnum
who was in Mr.. Wheeler's employ
looking after stock on the ranch,
says that for several days pryor to
the sad affair Earnest Wheeler
had acted unusual; that he was in
different to business on the ranch
and talked as if he intended to
make a trip. On Sunday the 10Th,
Mr.. Gibson called to see Tom
Burnum who was suffering from
an attack of rheumatism, and says
that Mr.. Wheeler did not seem as
iovial as usual. On the morning
of the 2oth Mr.. Gibson started for
wood, passing the Wheeler ranch
he stopped to e them and after
talking a few minutes with Tom
left MI. Wheeler and Mrs. Bur-
mum in her room, and when about
40 yards from the house near
where his team was standing, he
heard a shot and turning, saw
Mrs. Burnum stagger from the
door; Wheeler stepped into the
door from the inside fired two
shots almost simultaneously into
the woman's breast, then stepped
inside. Mr.. Gibson saw the
| shot that entered behind and about
half inch above the right ear, COM
ing out nea the top of the head
and about one inch back and two
inches to the right of the top.
This all occurred before Gibson
could reach the house, where he
raised Mrs. Burnum's head and
extinguished fire that the first shot
had fired the clothing near her
shoulder in front. She had fallen
about 3 feet from the door with
her head towards the door. Mrs.
Burnum's husband and Jas. Moore
were the next to arrive on the
scene. Burnum rushed to his
wife, falling on his knees. Moore
stepped to the door and found
Wheeler's body lying where he
had fell back striking a trunk and
had slid to the floor. He said
Wheeler groaned when Burnum
looked toward him and said: "Oh,
wife, if you had that much life l
might bring you to. Earnest has
always been my friend; why did
he do this?" Eugene Hedgecok,
Walter Easley, Phil Dever, Mr..
Pierce (the constable c. S. Fall
we'll, Frank Gibson and others
were soon on the scene. Mr.. Glib.
son, sr., the justice, was called
over the phone but was unable to
come and ordered the body of Mrs.
Burnum carried into the house and
Eugene H~edgecoke. U. S. Com
missioner, to take the evidence be-
fore a jury, and the only conclu-
sion the jury could arrive at from
the five witnesses and the positions
of the bodies was that they both
came to their death from gun shot
wounds from a pistol in the hands
of Earnest Wheeler.
Earnest moved to this Mace
