sonage last Sunday afternoon, Rev.
r. c. Craven performing the ceremo-

In solemn and impressive man
ner the words were spoken that made
the twain one and after congratula-
tions were extended and q brief rest
was taken the newly welded pair

1t was not a runaway affair. Both
parties are old enough and intelli-
gent enough the enter into the mar
riage state advisedly, and there was
no objection on the part of "the old
folks to the marriage. They did
not want any public to do about
their marriage and decided upon the
quiet, business like course they did
instead OF the customary display on
such occasions.

community Mr. Mitchell is a son of

THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF THUR


The community was shocked We'd
nesday afternoon to learn that DIR.
Edward B. Tucker had shot and
silled himself i'm his Office TN Main
street. The tragedy occurred about
half past four O'Clock DIR. Tucker
crossed the street ard went up to his
Office. To a gentleman standing
near the postoffice entrance at the
foot OF the steps leading 10 his office
he spoke cheerfully, saying he was
all right when asked how he felt
He had not been i'm his office but
a few minutes when the report OF n
pistol shot was heard Mr. John
Satterwhite, one of the postufiice
employees who had gone up the steps
about the time DIR. Tucker did. per-
ceiying where the sound came from,
ran into DIR. fuckers office to inves-
tigate. The unfortunate young man
was found lying Oh the lounge shot
through the head The bullet entered
the temple and cane out at the back
of the head. On the floor beside the
lounge lay the smoking pistol which
told the whole story Gasping but
unconscious death soon followed,
still the sad and awful tragedy could
scarce be realized.
1t is known that DIR. Tucker had
been in a highly nervous condition
for some time He Left home last
Friday to visit his sister, Mrs. Chal-
mers, at Madison, Wisconsin, expect
ing to be away some time until his
health improved. He did not stay
but short while and got back Tues.
day night Information received by
the family about the time he reached
home was that he was very restless
while there and cut his stay short
saying he must come back to Hen
derson.
Wednesday morning he had some
dental work done in his own mouth
by fellow dentist. Apparently he
was in his normal state of health and
spirits. When the work was finished
he left to go to his office to clean and
polish his instruments. He had gone
away he explained leaving the win
dow up and some of his instruments
had rusted from being exposed in this
way. DIR. Tucker told his friend that
he did not exepect to do any work
for several days, though. He was all
broken up, weak and nervous, giving
as a reason that travelling did not
agree with him.
DR.. Ed Tucker was a young man of
noble and generous impulses and
when he was himself there was no
finer fellow. He was very popular,
easily making friends of all who knew
him. A dentist by profession, for
which he seemed peculiarly fitted, he
was a skillful and successful operator
and had a good practice. He had a
bright mind and the promise of a
successful career seemed early to open
up for him.
Deceased was the second son of the
late DR.. John Fl. Tucker, and was
thirty years old. A mother. three
sisters and two brothers, together
with numerous relatives in thisState
and Virginia, and a host of sorrow
stricken friends mourn the death of
this noble but unfortunate young
man.

This play, new attraction to To-
cal theatre-goers, Was presented as
the Grand Theatre last Thursday
night The company came practically
nnheralded-a s'fill-in'' engagement
as it were-and the weather was in
clement. As consequence the audi
ence was small-but they deserved a
better house and doubtless would
have had it but for the rain. To
those who did turn out the perform
ance proved adramatic feast-one OF
the best things, in fact, i'm the enter
tainment line that has been seen here
In a long tine-is the Judgment OF
competent critics. The morale OF the
play is good and it is interpreted by
a capable company.
The story deals with the early
struggles OF a young foreman in one
of the mills OF q great iron corpora
ton, who subsequently becomes its
president. His suddenly acquired
wealth and position and the allure
ments OF life in the fast social set in
which he moves, causes him to re-
nounce the wife OF his youthful strug-
giles and privations and seek connu-
bal companionship in the person OF
a beautiful actress whom he believed
was better qualified for the exacting
demands society would make upon
the wife of q man OF his exalted COM
mercial position and wealth.
His subsequent ruin at the hands
OF his erstwhile fellow eonspirators in
the iron combine" the loss OF his
! aetress-wife, who deserted him when
adversely came, and his final rescue
from prison and ignominy by the
wife and daughter whom he forsook
form the basis OF a story that has
few parallels in the dramatic cate
CORY OF our present day problem
dramas.

A Powerfully Impressive Play.

The powerful and impressive melodra
ma, "Human Hearts," presented by an
exceptionally strong company OF players,
will be offered for the approval OF the
lovers of all that is clean and wholesome
in melodrama on the stage, at the Grand
Theatre Friday night, Sept. Oath. This
splendid play has been firmly established
as one of abe most original and interest
ing OF modern dramas. The author has
long been famous as a play wright, but
in the present instance he has surpassed
all his former efforts For ingenuity.
strength and brilliancy, Human Hearts"
is marvel of stage craft, done by
master hand in stage adroitness. The
author has poured out his entire store OF
theatric knowledge in this play. He has
produced a work of magnificent POSSIBLE
tiles for a melodramatic public. The
characters are finely drawn, the dialogue
is crisp, the human interest is all absorb
Jug, the comedy is charming, the pathos
is sincere. Taken on its entirety, t'Hu-
man Hearts is probably one of the
strongest plays ever shown ON the Amer
lean stage.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength:
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
As a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. 2
It's matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because 1t is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you live in a hot eli
mate buy Quaker Oats in Theoretically
sealed tins. 1t keeps sweet and fresh.

Similar in Name but Dissimilar in
Character.

Although similar in name, "Strong-
heart" and "Human Hearts," the
two plays that come to the Grand
Theatre next week, are quite dissimi-
lar in character. One can enjoy both
plays just as we'll as if the other had
not been seen. And both are fine
plays with a good moral, interpreted
by strong, well balanced companies
we are told, and we'll worth seeing.
They are such plays as make one go
away from the performance feeling
that it was good to be there, that
the strong moral lesson taught has
been uplifting and helpful, besides
having afforded pleasant entertain
ment and diversion for the time
being.

BRING VERDICT
OF mot GUILTY
John Cradlebaugb
As a Result Is a
Free Man
PLEA OF SELF DEFENSE
Backed By The Unwritten
I Law Argument Convinces
4 The Jury

4 Denver, Colo, March 30.-The jury
in the case of John c. Cradlebaugh
lct Wallace, Idaho, on trial for the
murder of Frederick Walton, this
morning brought in verdict of mot
guilty" The jury was out since late
yesterday afternoon and had been in
almost constant debate until time of
returning the verdict The plea of
self defense seconded by the unwrit-
ten law argument was the defense
made by Cradlebaugh. He was a
prominent Idaho Odd Fellow, as was
Walton. The latter had entered Cra-
dlebaush's home and alienated the af-
fcctions of Mrs. Cradlebaugh. Cra-
dlebaugh after talk with his wife
agreed to a parting. Later Cradle
bauSh came to Denver seeking his
son. In the heart of the business
section he found Walton and after a
snort parley OF which various descrip-
tons We're given by witnesses, Cradle
baugh drew his gun and fired, killing
Walton. Throughout the delay pend
ing the trial he maintained calm de-
meanor and this had much to do
with the impression on the jury. Mrs.
Cradlebaugh was forced to tell her
story of shame in testitying for the
defense.

Troubles With Indians and Poems
Forms Basis for the Story.

L. f. Sanders, prominent mining
Ilan from Cerrllos, who has just re-
turned from Old Mexico where he
has been on mining proposition, re-
ports that serious trouble is being
experienced with the Yaqui Indians
badly interfering with mining matters.
He further reports that well organ
lied movement is OH foot to have
the United States annex the states
CT Sonora and Chihuahua, where the
main troubles are constantly occur
ring. He states that the mines in
these districts are owned and con-
trolled by Americans and that in view
OF the difficulties which the MeXi-
can government seems powerless to
suppress and because of the fact that
it can not be hoped that the mines of
that section can be developed by 9th
er than outside capital the Mexican
government is thought to be very fa-
vorable towards the proposition that
the United States take over the two
states mentioned and pay old Mex
leo for same in gold. The Americans
agitating the matter believe that in
case such change is accomplished
that the United States government
troops can easily put an end to the
disorders caused by the Indians and
Mexican poems.
