Kills Yves Littlefeld, In Out
laws Grocery Store,
Tuesday Afternoon.
SHOT IN TWO PLACES.
Dispute Arose Over Use of a
Coop and Storage of
Fruit Jars.

Wesley w. Littlefeld, until re-
Gently a grocer on Sixth street, was
shot and fatally wounded at two
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, by E. c.
Outlaw, in the grocery store Of the
latter, on the corner of Sixth and
Virginia streets.
Only two or three witnesses
were present, except Mrs. Outlaw
and little boy. Littlefeld recently
sold out the grocery store to Outlaw,
who had for a year or more been en-
gagged in turnpike construction.
A difference arose over some fruit
jars that were in the store and it is
said that Littlefield sent a negro
after them, but Outlaw refused to
send them. Littefeld, who about
two weeks ago bought out the
saloon of w. M. Jones, en- the same
street, half a square away, walked
to the grocery to see Outlaw about
the matter. He was in his shirt
sleeves and repeatedly stated while
his wounds were being dressed that
he was unarmed and was not eX-
pecting trouble. 1t is not known
just how the trouble arose. Little
field stated that he was shot with
out any cause whatever. Outlaws
friends claim that when Littlefield
entered the store Outlaw ordered
him to keep out and that Littlefeld
used abusive language that provoked
the shooting.
Parties on the street heard two
quick shots and Officer Jared Rem
shaw, who was close by, ran to the
store and as he entered the front
door Outlaw escaped, unseen by the
officer, from the rear door and went
northward out Virginia street. He
was soon holly pursued by officers
Denton and Witherspoon, but eluded
them near the railroad by jumping
on a passing freight train and riding
few miles into the hills north of

shaw gave his attention to the I
wounded man and assisted by other
parties moved him to J. G. Hord's /
grocery, a few doors north, and the /
Outlaw store was locked on the in
side. DR.. R. L, Woodland and other
physicians were soon on hand and |
examined the two terrible wounds, /
which hap been inflicted by a .38
Colt revolver. One ball entered the
right side about four inches below !
the arm and passed clear
through his body, emerging near
the waist line on the left side. The
ball was taken from his clothing The
other shot had passed through the
flesh of the back of his neck, grazing
the end of the spinal cord producing
partial paralysis of the limbs.
Mr.. Littlefield was a very large
and feshy man and suffered intense
ly during the examination. He in
sisted that the physicians tell him the
nature of his wounds and expressed
the opinion that the stomach wound
would cause his death. At 2:30, he
was placed on a mattress and taken
to his home on the corner Of Second
and Virginia streets. Chief of Po-
lice Roper. sent two officers out north
of town Ia buggy, after notifying
all stations to the northward to
watch out for Outlaw. He was soon
located near j. Z. Barnes, having
gotten off the train at the Kelly
bill, and disappeared into the woods.
Outlaw al ont three years ago was
City Workhouse Keeper. Heis about
40 years old and has a family. His
wife is a daughter of DR.. w. E.Rey-
nolds.
Littletield came here from North
Christian several years ago and
made considerable money in the gro
Gerry business. Last spring he was a
Republican candidate for jailer, but
withdrew before the primary. He
stated few days ago that ne bought
the Jones saloon for certain reasons
and did not intend to engage in the
saloon business any longer than he
had to, that he wanted to sell out
the first chance, as he didn't like the
business.
Littlefeld died at 2:3O yesterday
morning. Tuesday afternoon Judge
Prowse took his last statement.
At 10 o'clock yesterday Coroner
Allensworth held an inquest in the
court room and empaneled as a jury
H. B. Crunk, K. L. Terry, R. D,
Reeder, Jas. Witty, j. w. Mayton
and j. A. Barnett.
w. H. Ryan testified that he, F,
E. Quarles and another man he did
know were in the store with Mr.. and
Mrs. Outlaw when Littlefeld came
IN and said he wanted his fruit jar:
and that Outlaw said he couldn't
get them until he paid the storage
charge of 81. Littlefeld then went
out and shortly returned and paiG
the charge and told Outlaw he owed
81 rent for chicken coop. Outlaw
said the coop wasn't worth 81 and
that he would pay so cents. Little
field said, I've paid you and you'll
have to pay me. Outlaw then or
dered him out and taking a pistol
from the drawer by which he was
standing he shot him twice in quick
succession. Witness heard Littlefeld

General Corhin.

General Corbn, adjutant general
during the war with Spain, is dead and
in his death the United States loses
another soldier of the old school. Gems
eral Corbin was not only a general, but
he was a natural leader among men, a
gentleman and fit companion of such
men as Miles and Wheeler and Fitz-
hugh Lee. The war with Spain found
us wOefully unprepared to send men
from such causes were no greater can
climate, and the loss of life was great
on that account. That the loss of life
from such causes were nc greater can
be ascribed to the wonderful ability of
the men under General Corbin's direc,
ton, to bring order out of chaos in the
smallest possible space of time.
We have said that he was a
natural leader among men. That may
seem strange statement when it
is considered that he never had
active command in the field of
more than 100 men, His success
as leader is best shown in his ability
to cut the knots of red tape in emer-
gencies and attain, through political
intrigue if you will, the position OF
lieutenant general of the army. He
was a desk officer who was of as much
value to his country, as though he ha(
been in the thick of battle. Genera
Corbin did much to dignity that mucl
disposed branch of the army, the Of

A Familiar Way.

Whatever we have got to say
We say it in the same old way
Our fathers said it long ago;
fThe things we know they used to know:
Like them we do not say: Il YUM
When we have Mapped to mash our thumb.
Their eyes are stars, their teeth are
pearls,
And they come back and tell us lads
Just what our mothers told our dads.
Book agents call with ready tongue
Ana go their ways and leave us stung,
And yet they have not said thing
Our fathers did not hear them sing;
The same old clothes they wore we wear,
We use the same dope on our hair
ReStorer' is what it was called
And grow as bald as they were bald;
We chase plunks as they used to do,
AND we wind up with just few.
The smart things we said as boy,
That gave our dads SO much of JOY,
Our children say to US today;
And we hold up some one the way
Our dads did to tell them the tale,
And we feel grouchy if they fail
10 say we have wonder-kid
The very way our fathers did;
And when things down town fail to please
We, too, abuse our families.
But people do not like new jokes.
Nor like new wines; the old world pokes
Along the grooves our fathers knew,
And that they were accustomed to;
We view the same high. cobalt skies,
We hear our babies sweet replies,
We see the same hgh-drifting clouds,
We mingle with the same old crowds,
Join in each laugh and in each smile,
And that's what makes it all worth while.

Pointed Parauraphs,

The man who apes his superiors may
act foolish.
Women wouldn't be half as interest
ing if they were men.
The less man has to say the less he
may have to retract
Every man has his double-and the
contortionist has several.
It's easy to go astray, as the major
ity of the paths lead there
Even a music composer does not like
to have his notes go to protest.
Our idea of a strong woman is one
who is able to hold her tongue.
Virtue is it's own reward, and labor is
mostly the other fellows profit.
The father usually has to pay for the
reaping of the sons wild oats.
Paregoric quickly transforms the
poetry Of love into matrimonial prose
drought is the only thing we can
| think of just now that looks better
broken.
If woman has half a dozen rings
on her fingers her back hair requirs an
awful lot of adjusting.
1t is difficult for a young man to
| keep the crease in his trousers if his
best girl is a heavyweight.
And the way of the transgressor Is
| still harder when he is compelled tc
convert powders into broken stone

Farmers Are GETTING More Money.

The department of agriculture has
discovered that the reason why we are
paying more for our food is that the
! farmer is charging more for his prod
| uct. Within few years the farmers Of
| this country were paid too little for
| what they raised. They complained,
| with perfect right, that whereas they
| were producing that which was and
still is the very foundation of prosperi-
ty, he was the poorest paid man in
tho lot. They complained that they
that the railroads exacted too high a
toll for the service performed Meth
er of these items has been materially
reduced, yet the farmer prospers be-
cause he has succeeded in making the
! consumer pay more.
In some portions of the country this
increase is not so marked, but it has
been a substantial increase every
where. In Is years the area of land
cultivated has increased from 623, 000,-
900 acres to 1000, 100000 acres and the
number of farms from 4,564,OOO to g.
100000 This indicates that there are
more farms, more farmers and more
product, as well as higher prices. The
farms are worth more. Twenty years
ago they were worth $4,000, 100000 and
at the present time they are worth at
least $4,000, 100000 Ii farmers adver-
tised the fluctuations in the value of
their assets as industrously as some
manufacturing companies, the stock
market would soon have a balance
wheel which would hold the wild cat
stocks in line. When the professional
operators got to doing stunts in mining
stocks, the investor would take his
money out and put it into farms.

Conan Doyle To the Rescue.

Conan Doyle has taken up the bur-
den Of bringing to the world vivid
realization of the atrocities perpetrateo
upon the natives of the Congo region
by minions of King Leopold of Belgi-
UNI. Photographs of men, women and
children, whose hands have been cut
off and whose bodies have been other
wise mutilated, cannot be disputed.
They were taken by men who had con-
secrated their lives to the task of TAX
ing the message of Christ to benight-
ed race. Men of that calibre don't lie.
The protests of the missionaries have
been pigeonholed by this inhuman
monarch until the cries of shame
reached the outer world and then the
willy king charged the missionaries
with slandering him. Had Leopold
been able to shut the eyes of all men
who visited his miserable subjects he
might have STAYED off the revelations
until the wealth from the rubber for.
ests made him independent, but unfor-
tunately for him, new missionaries and
travellers found the mutilated natives
and told the world Of the atrocities.
In this way the reading public has
known that Leopold has been guilty Of
urspeakable cruelty, but nothing has
been done because the crimes have not
