STRUCK HIS AFFINITY
Former Arkansan Figures in
 a Sensation at Salt Lake

Many of the older set of Tri- bune readers will doubtless re- member that during the nineties we published the particulars of 8 sensation at Anderson, Ind, in which G. A. Gamble, then nurseryman of Harrison, figured conspicuously. Gamble laid 2 scheme by which he entered ore of the schools there and kidnapp- e d his little daughter, who by decree of the court had been giving into the keeping of his di- vorced wife. The scheme was foiled, however, and Gamble narrowly escaped from the epi- sode without arrest.
 No doubt many of our readers will remember that this same G. A. Gamble, editor of the Fruit Grower and nursery man at Har- rison, was about Green Forest a great deal during the latter nine. ties and in the early hundreds in the interest of his fruit busi. ness. He put out some orchards here on the share crop plan and still claims an interest in some orchards in this locality, accord- ing to a recent letter from him shown us by E. S. Foreman. Well, what we started in to te Il is to quote from the Salt Lake (Utah) Tribune concerning an- other sensation in which Mr.. Gamble has figured.
 To introduce the matter it might be we'll to also explain that Gamble some years ago em. braced the Mormon faith and he and his wife, his second spouse, took up osteopathy and become "doctors," having been "prac- ticing" in Salt Lake for some years. The new story is about the winding up of the union of Gamble and his second wife and the commencement of his career with the third. Here is the story:
 "With his recent matrimonial troubles still fresh in the minds of Salt Lake residents, Dr. G. A. Gamble, osteopath, 510 Atlas block, went quietly to Sanpete county last week and was mar ried to Miss Josephine Benson, alleged to have been the osteo- paths affinity" by his former wife, Dr. Mary Gamble, who se- cured a divorce in the local court few months ago. Miss Benson was figure in the di- vorce proceedings.
 While pr. Gamble and his new wife are enjoying their honey moon. his divorced wife is laugh ing quietly about the secrecy that is supposed to have sur- rounded the recent wedding. She had little to say Saturday night when asked about the mat ter further than declaring that she had hoard about the mar. riage.
 According to the stories told during the divorce trial, Dr. Gamble and Miss Benson had been quite friendly for two years before the former Mrs. Gamble found letter that started trouble. Miss Benson, who was a nurse, is said. to have visited the osteopath for treatment and their affection for each other was mutual. The former Mrs. Gam

GREAT DAMAGE DONE
Destructive Tornado Visited Berryvil1e on Last Monday

lars damage was done to Berry, vile property by tornado which visited that place on last Monday afternoon, but strangely and happily to say, no lives were lost nor any serious injury sustained by any one.
 A path about fifty yards wide was swept through the south part of the town, totally demol- ishing a number of residences, barns and other buildings.
 It would be impossible to give a full report of the damages done. The following list of the properties destroyed has been secured by The Tribune for which we are indebted to the Berryville Star:
 Bob Atkinson's house blown 30 feet from it's foundation, barr demolished and horse killed. Loss 5000.
 Dr. J. o. Hoskins' residence and contents destroyed. Loss S75O.
 M. E. Church South building destroyed and parsonage wreck ed. Loss S2750.

 J. B. Woods, residence totally destroyed. Loss S750.
 pr. W. P. George, barn un roofed. Damage $500.
 J. w. Freeman barn wrec ked Loss $500.
 These include the heaviest losers, but many others have sustained losses that run up il the hundreds, while many sus- tained only trivial damages Many miles of fencing were blown down.
 NOTES.
 Many sight-seers from Eurek; Springs and Green Forest an' the Surrounding country viewed the wreck of the cyclone Tues day.
 The Methodist Church South has secured the use of the Pres byterian meeting house for the present. It is stated that the, will build modern brick edifice on the site of the destroyed build ing.
 Ample homes were at once of fered to those who had lost al and the people are doing al within their power to make thu burden fall as lightly as possible on the unfortunate ones
 A mass meeting of the citizen of Berryville was held at tn court house Tuesday and prope relief committees were appointed More than 5000 was subscribe, and committee appointed to con tinue the taxi ng of subscriptions A. J. Russell was made treasure of the relief work and Tom Nor ris secretary.

Court Wednesday, the members of the
body, together with Highway Commis-
sioner Price, went over the road between
Eden Park and New Castle with Superin-
tendent Holcomb, Of the Wilmington,
New Castle and Southern Railway. The
object of the trip was to see if the switches
| of the railway would interfere with the
building of the new road to New Castle,
| which is now under way. 1t was found
that two of the switches would have to be
moved as they were within the bounds OF
the road. The switches will be trans-
ferred to the other side Of the track, but
ground will haye to be secured for them.
This will not interfere with the work on
the road, which is progressing fayorably.
At tire morning session of the court the
Middletown New Century Club wss
granted permission to get sand enough
from the sand pit owned by the county
in Appoquinimink hundred to build

specifications for the proposed new ma
cadam road from Newark to Cooch's

distance of little more than three miles.
The court approved the plans, and bids
for the building Of the roads will be asked

DELAWARE cITY'S MYSTERY SOLVED
Edward Black, COlored Lad, Admits
Shooting John Cook, Jr.

With the arrest of Edward Black, COL
ored, Thursday night the strange shooting
of John Cook, the l3-year-old lad, in the
store Of Sergeant Lacey at Delaware City
on the night of March 30th is cleared up,
and the rumor of the plot against the life
OF Sergeant John Blackburn, for whom it
was thought the shot was intended, is
dispelled.
The arrest was made by State Detective
Harry |. Gillis at Delaware City after a
severe sweating process which only at the
last minute was successful in wringing
from Black, who is but II years old, the
confession that he had shot the Cook lad
and that the shot was purely accidental.
The statement of Black is believed by the
authorities, but he was placed under
arrest by the state detective and taken
to Wilmington and locked up in the
police station.
Boy Tells Of Shooting
In cell at the police station Thursday
night Black related the story of the
shooting. He had stopped at the end
of the bridge spanning the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal which connects the
government reservation with the town
and was inserting some cartridges into
the revolver preparatory to continuing
his journey to Polktown, a colored settle
ment near Delaware City. The night
was dark, and the boy was taking the
precaution to be in readiness for an
emergency.
While he was inserting the bullets in
the revolver he was standing across the
canal from the store of Sergeant Lacey,
within which WAS the party of young
people laughing and talking. As he was
putting one of the bullets into the weapon
it suddenly discharged, and he heard
scream conIe from the store. Going over,
he found all excitement within, and upon
the floor lay the body of the boy with
blood streaming from his head. After
taking one look, Black, Mortified beyond
measure at what he had done, plunged
into the darkness and went home.
The shooting had been accidental, and
Black did not think he was suspected,
and was afraid to say anything about it.
AS time wore on the fear of making a
confession grew into real terror, and he
determined to keep silent, thinking that
it would never be found out that he had
shot the lad.
