 Diphtheria struck the town, but the dismal howl of the dog foretelling death was not heard during the entire epidemic. The people failed to realize that while one was out, the other had time to read up on line of proceed ure.
 Another thing they couldn't under stand was the fact that the doctor kept getting iollier and fatter. The work didn't seem to wear on him at all.

It was a com mon remark that if he was interrupted by stranger in the forenoon he would tell him to call at the office in the aft. ernoon On the other hand, if he met a stranger in the afternoon, he would His mind seemed to dwell more upoon professional efficiency than names and faces.
 It was queer how public sentiment was divided over the doctor They all agreed, however, that he was the most versatile man they ever knew.

WOODS THANKFUL
BULLET MISSED
Young Law Student Who Attempted
Suicide in okmulgee Jail Returns
to Family a Free Man.

Okmulgee, Okla, Nov. 29,-Sixteen
days ago, Don Woods, young law
student and real estate man of 2S
years, tried to take his own life in a
cell In the county Jail by shooting
himself through the heart 1t was
the day he was to be sentenced by
Judge Barnum of the district court.
Yesterday afternoon he walked out
of court free man, apparently restor-
ed to health "deyoutly thankful" as
he put it himself, that the bullet miss
ed it's mark by a hairs breadth, and
that he can return to his wife and
little children to whom he wrote such
tender letters a few minutes before
he fired the shot.
Woods was charged with selling two
head of cattle that were given him to
care for while he lived near Mounds.
This was two years ago, He left the
country, but returned to Mounds in

went to Jail, but becoming extremely
respondent because of the disgrace
brought upon his wife and child. he
pleaded guilty when arraigned and
was taken back to Jail without the
judge or the court knowing anything
about his case.
On the day of the sentence, Satur-
day, November IL, he shot himself
with a "vest-pocket" revolver which
he had smuggled into the Jail with
him. He had written seven or eight
letters. one to his wife, asking her
forgiveness, one to the public clearing
the sheriff and the jailer, thanking
them for their kind treatment, one 10
friend relative to arrange his busi-
ness affairs after death, one to the
man who prosecuted him in which he
forgave him, and finally one TO Judge
Barnum, in which his actions were ex-
planned. This letter was never given
to the public, but it explained many
things that the public did not under
stand, and caused Judge Barnum to
go to the hospital where Woods lay
lowering between life and death, and
TO tell him that he need have no fear
of punishment if he should recover.
From that day, Woods condition inn
