TWO STABBED
BY DRUNK MAN
Mayor and Marshal Of Wayland Are
Victims Of the Knife OF
Frank Watts.

WAYLAND, Mo-, June 29.-Frank
Watts, young married man, was at
the depot last Saturday evening to
meet his wife and baby who had spent
the afternoon in Keokuk. After the
train had pulled out, he, with his wife,
started up town and he began to use
very loud and obscene language to his
wife. Watts had been drinking all af-
ternoon and was under the influence
of liquor. When our town marshal,
Gilbert Fuller, who is we'll along in
years, undertook to arrest Watts,
the latter pulled knife and inflicted
serious wound on Fuller in the side,
just below the heart. AT this juncture
John Grimes. who is the mayor of our
town, came to the marshal's assist
ance and he, too, received wound in
his right leg that required eight
stitches by the hand of the physician.
to close Watts was finally locked up
and Sunday morning, about o'clock
the sheriff came and got him and put
him in jail at Kahoka.
Grimes is resting easy and speedy
recovery is looked for. but Fuller's
wound is more. serious and as yet ii
is uncertain what the result will be.

THIRTEEN CHILDREN
IN THE FAMILY
Father Sent to County Jail for Boot
Logging Has Large Family
at Home.

MACOMB, H., June 29.-When coun-
ty court convened argument was heard
on the motion for new trial in the
case Of the People VS.. Gilbert Miller,
the Colchester man who was, by a jury
in county court last week, found guilty
OF selling liquor in anti-saloon terri
tory, The court held that there were
no grounds to warrant another hear
ing of the case and he assessed fine
of S100 and costs against the defend
ant, a total of about s1S5, and mitti-
mus was issued committing him to
the county jail until the fine and costs
are paid.
There are some rather pathetic fea-
lures in connection with the case of
Mr.. Miller. He is the father of thir.
teen children, some of whom are mere
infants. His wife Is IN i'll health and
SO are some of the children.

THE ICE KING
HOLDS WHIP HAND
Saloon Opening in Dry Town May
Have to be Postponed
Until Winter.

MILLER, S. D.. June 29.-on the
eve of establishing Of three saloons
after dry period u three years,
the residents of this section who have
been looking forward to quenching
their thirst with cool glass of beer
are doomed to Disappointment. They
will either have to take the beer warm
or not at all.
w T. Rafferty,, prohibitionist, has
a monopoly on the ice business here
and he announced he will not sell ice
directly or indirectly to the saloon
keepers who will open places July l..
There is talk Of starting an ice manu-
featuring plant, but that would do no
good during the rest of this year. The
only thing for the saloonkeepers is to
import ice, which will be an expensive
operation.

Gave Her Two Daughters a Dose OF
Poison, Cut Her Wrists
And Set Fire to the
House.
THEY MAY RECOVER
Woman Is Being Cared for Until she
Can Be Examined and
Sent to The
Asylum.

GALEsBURG, June 2s.-whlle
temporarily insane Mrs. w. l.. Magee,
a we'll known young widow OF this
city planned and came near carrying
into successful execution the diabol-
ical murder of her two young daugh-
tiers, aged seven and ten years.
Waking them from an early slum-
Der the mother gave the two little
tots rough on rats. They dropped to
sleep again but had scarcely closed
their eyes the insane woman
took some paper, placed 1t un-
der their beds and set 1t afire. She
then slashed her wrists with knife
and sat down cody to await the end
cunningly and diabolically planned by
her insane mind.
In a few moments smoke burst
through the windows and was detect
ed by neighbors. Rushing to the home
they forced an entrance and carried
the two children and the mother to
the open air, the fire department ex-
tinguishing the blaze after consider
able damage had been done.
The mother was unable to tell much
of story about II when her attempt
ed suicide was discovered. She broke
down and confessed to having given
the children rough on rats and then
setting the bed on fire. Doctors
worked over the three for some time
and believe they will be able to save
the life OF the mother and the older
daughter. The youngest child Will
probably die.
No motive can be assigned for the
crime save that the woman is .url-
doubtedly insane. Her husband has
been dead for four or five years The
woman had sufficient income to live
comfortably and expected in a few
weeks to come into an estate of some
size from her grandfather's estate.
She is not under arrest but is being
cared for at the home of a relative
until hearing as to her sanity can ba
had in county court.

able to get lawyer to take her case,

would have to provide counsel for
her.

United States to procure me an honest
lawyer to plead for justice for me If
the United States has laws capable of
protecting me; If not, then legislation
must be appealed TO. e When re clerk
had read thus far he called the wo-
man back and told her that she could
not file such document in the SUI
preme court, New York county, but
to no avail.
The clerk insisted that the paper
had not been filed, and he scratched
off the stamped filing number. He
said the paper had no place in the
county clerks office and asked her to
please take it away.
Mrs. Won Claussen said that if the
clerk did not file it she would have
1.-THE law on him, too, and fitted out

pleasant words generally to the crowd
of 100 or more present. Then he said
he would be glad to talk individually
with those who had senething on
their minds about which they wished
to question him, and he would shake
hands with all in farewell. He spoke
in a complimentary way of Charles
Dyer Norton, his new secretary, who
has introduced "the open door," with
in justifiable limitations, to the news
paper men, and his sentiments were
warmly indorsed by his hearers.
After the brief remarks the presi

BUTTED IN
ON EXECUTION
Man Strapped to Electric Chair Did
Not Show Very Much
Gratitude

TRENTON, N. J., June What
did you butt in for. Now 1t will have
to be done all over again.
This came from prisoner strap
ped in the electric chair already for
the execution. Attorney Brewer
heard this from Arthur Rose, who was
found guilty of killing his wife and
sentenced to death.
Rose was satisfied with the verdict
but the attorney was not and he Sc
cured a stay of sentence which came
just in time to save the mans life.
