A neighbor discovered the body Of
the woman lying across the front door
step. and further search revealed the
doctors body in his room.
Hasty examination showed that the
woman had died from internal hem
orrhages. resulting from an operation.
The theory is that DR.. Campbell per
formed the operation some time dur
ing the night. and on discovering the
fatal result killed himself His death
was due to cyanide of potassium.
Dr. Campbell was twenty-four years
old and a graduate of the. .Medico-Chi-

Morrison went to Dry Run fourteen
miles away. on Saturday to attend a
picnic and to buy cattle, and remained
over Sunday. He hastened home
when notified of the tragedy.
About II o'clock at night David Kra-
mer. a neighbor, thought he heard
moaning in the Morrison house as he
passed. but as no light was visible
he concluded he was mistaken. At 6
o'clock in the morning, Luther Ray

two bare feet protruding from the half
open front door Running up the steps, |
he was Mortified to find the body of

noned. and word was sent to Dis
Iict Attorney Rice. who hastened to
he scene from New Bloomsfield. The
Jury found a verdict to the effect that
Mrs. Morrison had died from the ef- !
'ects of an operation. and that DR..

HUNTING SEASON
OPENED YESTERDAY
Licences Have Been Issued
to 4O7 Persons Since
January l.
GAME WARDEN IS BUSY

Only Game That Can be
Killed Now.
GAME WARDEN IS BUSY

The hunting season in Missouri
opened yesterday, and but few appli-
cations have been made for hunters
licenses at the county clerks office.
The rush for licenses is not expected
to take place until cooler weather
when the ducks begin to fly south.
There have been 407 licenses issued
in Boone county since January 1, 1910.
Squirrel, plover and dove constitute
the only game that can be hunted in
Missouri until September Is. Then
the hunter may add duck, geese, brant
and snipe to his bag. and it is this
class of game that is hunted most in
this vicinity October will be the same
as September from the middle OF the
month, but in November and Deem
Der all game, not specifically protect
ed, may be hunted. During these
months only prairie chickens. doves
and English pheasants may be pro-
tccted, except the last days in Deem
Der, when squirrels come under the
protection of the law.
H. A. Keith, deputy game warden,
who has been busy all summer look
ing after the protection of fish in this
section of the state, will after tomor-
row also turn his attention to the
feathered and furred game. He has
already issued warning that the law
must be obeyed to the letter. About
the only game which may be shot
with impunity is rabbits. They are
not protected by the law.
Reports received at Jefferson City
by Jesse Tolerton, state game warden,
from many parts of the state, indicate
that there will be more game to at.
tract the attention of hunters than has
been the case in years past. In Ger.
tain sections south of the Missouri
river squirrels are not as numerous
as expected, but deer, turkey and
quail, which constitute the chief pur.
suits of the sportsmen, will be abund.
ant. This condition is due largely to
the fact that the game laws have
been strictly enforced.
Last year more than $4,000 resi-.
dents of the state took out licenses
to hunt. and from the number that
have been issue so far it is expected
that the figures will be surpassed. On
the basis of the voting population,
about one citizen in eight took out a
hunters license.
Fishing is expected to be better
than ever this fall. While it is true
that the restocking of depleted
streams has been limited, the fish laws
have been strictly enforced. For more
than a year deputy game wardens
have watched the fishing resorts, de.
