When the police, who had been
called to the home at 519 Nineteenth
avenue, east, tried to push open the
door. O'Malley's feet were against 1t.
He was lying on his back, his head
in a pool Of blood which was stream
ing from his mouth and his nose
One eys was torn and lacerated, the
bullet having entered there and passed
through his head. A great bulk of
man he was as he lay there, in great
contrast to the little bit of blue eyed
woman who knelt by him. Her clothing
was torn, her hair was disheveled,
there was CRIME upon her hands and
face and stains OF her lovers blood.
Around her were broken dishes, and
furniture, torn pictures from the walls,
shattered glass and bloodstained gar
ments. For ten minutes or more before
he was shot the man in his jealous
rage had been going from room to
room through the house, swinging a
chair around his head and smashing
everything in sight

him and that he has been often to
her home, but she denies that there

relations with each other Neighbors

house much of the time. night as well
as day. and it appears that on more
than one occasion she has called her
self Mrs. O'Malley-
Eat times they were on the friend
lest of stems. but at other times
there were terrible ouarrels in the
little home some of them due to the
fact that O'Malley was a chronic
drunkard and others because Mrs.
Kearns, who is rather good looking
young widow, was not averse to
pleasant chat with other men.

Az appeal from the district court

And in that appeal some Of the back

The suit shows that what the people
see from before the footIights is only

Ghosts Of Russian ENiles Who Died Of
Starvation or Torture.
To the south and west Of Kodiak,
distant about 100 miles and forming
one OF the Semidl group, is the island
of Chhlkot. the haunted island of
Alaska.
Enshrouded for a great portion Of
the time with almost impenetrabe fog,
this lonely isle Is an object of terror to
the natives. who claim 1t is haunted
by the ghosts Of Russian exiles.
The natives will not go near the is
land, saying It means certain death to
invade the canny confines, and there
are few men in the far north who have
the temerlty TO test the truth Of the
many and weird tales told of this for
bidding aud barren island.
Shpmasters ana sailors passing the
place assert that the agonizlng cries Of
Russian exlles sent there to starve or
die by torture are sometimes heard
on quiet nights. while the clins Of
chains aud the sound of blows are tes-
tilted TO In an affidavit by white man

SlcepIsssaess Its Cause and Cure.


Sleeplessness is one Of the most
annoying complaints that we have
70 deal with in this strenuous age.
The strongest man will soon be-
come a weakling if he is not able
to secure the necessary amount Of
sleep. IL is during sleep that the
nervous energies Of the body are
renewed. 1t is at this time, when
the voluntary powers Of the body
are at rest, that it absorbs energy
and rensws the supply Of power
which is essential to properly run
the human machine.
An excellent method Of dealing
with sleeplessness is to take an or
binary face towel, wet it in cold
water, wiring it out and fold it up
and bring it up snugly around tho
neck. Be careful to see that it
fits closely around the back Of the
neck. This will often produce re-
suits when other more vigorous
methods have failed. Another
method is 10 wet towel in cold
water, fold il over until it is from
four to eight inches in width,
wiring il out and then pin it snug
ly around tho whist over the nak-
cd body. A dry towel can be
placed over this and tho quoting
influence Of this particular remedy
is in many instances amazing
Where there is no strong inclina-
ton against cold baths, a cold
shower or tub bath can often be
used to advantage. Run cold wat
or into an ordinary bath tub until
liz is two inches deep, spend four
or five minutes walking around in
this water in bare feet, and you
can usually expect results of a
favorable nature.--Bernarr Mac

between Hollister and Kirbvvilie Was
hled in the Office of the county clerk
yesterday. The petitioners have a
majority of the acreage in the proposed
road district and the road from Hollister
to Kirbyville is sure to be built.
Owing to considerable opposition
and lack of time to work up the matter
the Kirbyville-Forsyth end of the road
will not be formed at the May term of
court. But an effort viii be made to
have the petition ready for the August
term OF court and work can commence
on the east end as soon as the west

A Bridegroom's Difficulties.

/ Samuel Fausett, young man of the
Flag neighborhood, discovered that the
path of the bridegroom is not always
one of roses. Sammy had secured the
consent of Miss Ethel Compton, of the
same neighborhood, to share his lot in
life and he also secured the consent of
her parents.
Having his own consent and nobody
ob1ectlng everything looked lovely for
Sammy and he came to Forsyth Mon
day to secure a license. He applied
to Recorder Moore and that official ask
ed his age. Twenty was the reply.
Got the consent of your parents7"
Got no parents, they are dead.' Got
the consent of your guardianP'' Got
no guardian. Can't give you Ii
cense then," said the Recorder.
So Sammy got busy and got into
communication with Probate Judge
lhckenson at fancy City. He told the
Judge he had no estate but he needed
a guardian of his person. The kindly
old Judge, always willing to help Young
couples on aatrimony bent, appointed
Bad Fausett, an older brother as guar
dian, the new guardian gave his consent
to his wards marriage, Recorder Moore
issued the license, and Sammy went
lis way rejoicing.
And here's hoping that Sammy and
als bride will never have any more
rouole in life than they did in secur-
ng the license

CIayt and Bill.
Senate,

%o.i Democratic friend, Clay,
Stokely, comes back at our othe /,
friend, Bill Scissors, in last weeks
fancy County Democrat. In a
note following the article the
Democrat says that it is not it's
policy to allow such discussions
and that the article will be the
last chapter on the subjec, for the
present.
We never would shoot at an
unarmed man, and now that Clayt
has no newspaper to talk through
we will not allow Bill an unfair
through the columns Of
this paper. We heartily endorse
the position in the matter the
Democrat now takes. This thing
of allowing irresponsible parties
the use of newspaper columns to
fling their personal iibcs is bad
thing both for the newspaper and
the public.
We respectfully submit that
