SHE LOVES HIM STILL.
Miss Dea Patton Says She'll Marry
David Bragg.

Wearing his blue jean overalls, 3
coarse work shirt and rather crum-
pied felt hat, David Bragg, recently
acquitted of the murder of Frank
Wilkerson, came up town this morning
to deny a report in a morning paper
to the effect that he had been Tilted
by Miss Dea Patton, the sweetheart
who stood steadfaStly by him in the
long and tedious trial. On one end of
the long distance telephone Miss Pat
ton talked to the State Journal in her
characteristic steady tone and declar-
ed that she hoped soon to become Mrs
David Bragg.
There were tears in young Bragg's
eyes as he sat in a big arm chair and
fun bled nervously with his hat The
report, he declared, had injured him
among his former friends. Then, too.
the young man is trying to make good
in Topeka.
You don't know how those stories
hurt me-" Bragg said, land all Of
them have been malicious and false.
Certainly I love Miss Patton. Why
shouldn't I? But that isn't all. My
mother is just recovering from a ner-
vous breakdown and if these stories
reach her, they cause her worry. No
one knows how hard I have tried 10
make good since I was acquitted. 1t
wasn't so much for my own self that
j
the judge and the lawyers to believe
in me. Then, too,' and Bragg paused
a moment as he made the staten ent,
Il want to show mother and Miss Pat
ton that I am everything they think
I am"
Immediately after Bragg was ac-
quilted, he went back to Valencia and
| tried to resume farm work. But three
months in Jail had been too much for
him and he could not stand the work.
He stayed a few days at the AleXan-
/ der, Moore and Patton homes. Then
he erturned to Topeka and asked his
attorneys to help him find employ
ment. A. L. Wiseman, secretary and
manager of the E. Horn Planning Mill,
readily gave Bragg work. Since that
time Bragg has not lost day. His
employer says he is steady and faith
full and is to be advanced in his work.
Since the night of the killing, Bragg
has never been beyond the borders of
the county.
telephone today. Miss DeaPatton said:
IT will certainly appreciate the
State Journal correcting this report.
It is absolutely false. Perhaps it's
foolish to make such statements" said
Bragg's sweetheart, but / think the
situation justifies me in saying for
sometime we have been and at the
present time are engaged to be mar
ried. No." the young woman said in
response to a question, Il can't say
just when we will be married"
Some weeks ago. report was cir
culated at the court house that Bragg
was in the Valencia neighborhOod, had
been drinking and threatened to kill
someone. When that story reached
the Valencia district, a number of
residents came to Topeka to deny the
report.

a f%ootnote to the programme said.
Columbia University Is DESTROYS Of
fostering and cultivating an interest
in choral music In New York City
and in towns in the immediate vi
clnity. The need Is indicated by the
fact that there are In New York,
during each musical season. about
one hundred orchestral concerts Of
high standard. and less than ten
choral performances. To minimize
this undue proportion the university
now includes choral music In its
extension work. Through the Diff
ferent centres II aims TO develop
eventually a festival chorus Of n
thousand trained chorallsts.
The performance was highly creditable

Of water and sewer pipes. We
therefore advocate the imme-
date correction OF this condi-
ton wherever it exists. aud
wherever the water,pipes pass under
the sewer pipes that an excavation
be made and foot or so of rock be
put around the pipes after they are
laid, and see that the water pipes
are tight at these points so that any
future sewage that comes out will
not stand around the water pipes
but trickle through the rocks. This
would seem to be the most impor-
tant thing before the town, being
the only cause suggested of the last
fever outbreak. and one that APP
peals directly to be good, common
sense to every one.
We fee! that flies are dangerous,
but we cannot rest easy when the
cause of typhoid fever is found in
flies alone, as flies have been here
since the beginning Of time and will
be to the end; and dirt closets have
always existed. and for years past
much money has been spent by the
town in the pail service to minimize
the danger. When the facts are all
in, the true cause may be found
hich is beyond the fly and which
furnishes the conditions upon which
the fly may operate, and to stop
with the suggestion that flies are
the cause is but to stick in the
bark" and to give what would seem
to be hopeless diagnosis.
In this climate auti-freeZe n.y.
drants cannot be done away with,
but it would seem to us that they
could be freed from all danger if an
excavation was made, say two feet
under the escape valve, and the
same filled up with broken rock sc
that no water could stand around
the valve and be sucked back into
it. This would be simple and mex

Fine Specimen of Wheat

Mr.. o. P. Showalter brought to
The Gazette Office a few days ago
some fine heads OF wheat raised on
the old Tutwiler place near town.
Some OF the heads contained IS
grains to the head and four to the
mesh. with an average of 60 grains
to the head. The sample was beard
ed wheat and was raised without
fertilizer
Mr.. ShOwalter says that his OBJ
servation this year has been that
the best land has not produced the
best wheat, and that land on which
20 fertilizer was used shows the
best wheat.
