helm Is Near Death
Mansfield Shieldl

tMohbutlu OhiCluy
Following dispute of few days
standing between Charles Tollhelm, a
well known farmer residing near Lex
ington and Homer Bossler of this city,
the former shot himself in the left
temple this morning and is probably
fatally injured. Tollehlm is so years
of age and is tenant on the farm of
Mrs. George Wicker, two miles south
of Lexington, on the middle Bellville
road.
According to the story of his wife
the trouble had worried him a great
deal for the past few days and he had
neither eaten nor slept since it hap
pened. This morning he took his %
calibre rifle with him and went to the
barn. Soon after shot was heard
helm was Mortified to find her husband
lying with his head in his own blood
and a large hole in the left temple
bleeding profusely. Help was sum-
moned and the man was taken to the
house in an unconscious condition. Dr.
Smith, Of Lexington, was called and
found that the ball had entered the
left temple and had plowed its way to
the base of the skull. DR.. Charles
| 3rown of this city was also called in
consultation.
1t is stated that quantity of hay
had been taken from the farm lands
and slowed in the barn. A few days
ago Mr. Bossier purchased the hay
from Mrs. Wicker, the owner of the
farm. Before he had removed it, how
ever, Tollhelm brought in large
amount of potatoes and placed them
on the ground floor. On Tuesday Mr..
Bossler went to the farm and took
away load Of the hay. Tollhelm OBJ
jected to the removal of the hay from
the barn over his potatoes.
He appeared before Justice Palm OF
Lexington and stated his case. How
ever he took no steps, so far as is
known, to legally stop the movements
of Bossler on the farm. Wednesday
Mr. Bossler went to the farm and
from there to the Office of Justice
Palm with Tollhelm to talk the matter
,ver together. No definite understand
ing was reached
1t is stated that Tollhelm arose ear
ier than usual this morning and ap
peared very nervous, but his family
did not imagine that he was contemp

of whom are married and the othel

Seeding
abandoned By Farmers Near
Brink Haven

According to several farmers of
Brink Haven vicinity, they were un-
able to put their fields in wheat this
fall because of the iDcessant down
pour of rain and as a result they
have performed days of labor for
naught.
Preceding the rains of early au-
tumn many of the farmers of the
vicinity plowed and prepared the
ground for seeding. When they were
ready to plant wheat the rains set
in and continued with such constant
regularity that the fields became seas
of mud Terrific storms, badly wash
ing the hin lands. put the ground pre-
pared FOR seeding in deplorahle shape
and one thing followed another so
closely that planting was entirely
abandoned. iaa aar ba8 rs4

new YORK EXCURSIONISTS
DELIGHTED WITH CANON CITY


The New Yorkers on the special
coast-to-coast excursion train, which
arrived here about o'clock Thurs
day evening from Salt Lake City, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other
points in the extreme west, were en-
thusiastic in their praise of the hos
pitality extended to them during their
brief stay here There were one
hundred and twenty-five people in the
party and among its members were
many ladies; most of whom live in
the metropolis and in the contiguous
territory. The party was in charge
of Arthur B. Ayres, of Butte, Montana,
travelling passenger agent for the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad COM
pany, who took charge of the train
at odgen and will continue with it
as far as Denver, where it will be
taken over the Burlington road to Chi
cago.
The Canon City Business Mems as
sociation had been informed of the
coming of the visitors and Secretary
Maddox and large number of citi-
zens were at the railroad station on
their arrival to bid them welcome.
More than a score of automobiles had
been collected by Mr.. Maddox to af-
ford the excursionists an opportunity
of making the trip through the orch
ards of Lincoln Park and over the
Skyline drive, but the number was
inadequate to provide conveyance
for all who desired to make the trip.
In less than i've minutes after the
train pulled up at the depot every
available vehicle was filled with ex-
cursionists who desired to break the
tedium of the journey from Salt Lake
City to Denver by a drive in the open
air through a community with which
they were unfamiliar.
The orchards with their trees bend
ing under a load of ripening fruit
was a revelation to them and they
could not fully express their enjoy
ment of the outing. which, they stated,
was one of the distinctive features of
their transcontinental trip. The Sky
line was another surprise and they
were almost unanimous in pronounc-
ing it the most notable Of all of the
scenic attractions they had seen be-
tween the Atlantic seaboard and the
Golden gate. 1t was a matter of re-
gret to many of them that they we're
unable, owing to the breviety of their
stay here, to make the run to the top

Dear Sir:
In compliance with your request
and my promise, 1 will say that 1
have had splendid time thus far.
l went from Pueblo to Chicago in a
tourist sleeper and then in pullman
to New York, where I boarded the
French steamer La Touraine. | am
not going to detail much about the
sea-
BY the advice of Mr.. Gibson, l Sc
lected the second class cabin
which | have found is good enough
for anyone. good meals, good COM
pany, and good beds. In the second
you find a fine class of people and
nearly as good service as the fist
class. You would enjoy the trip just
as much and it costs much less mon
ey. The meals are like the first class
in hotels that would cost in Paris
from to francs per meal. You
get both red and white wine, all you
can drink.
We had a newspaper printed every
day on the boat, the news coming by
the Marconi wireless. We we~e post
ed on all the news OF importance.
Inland, l generally travelled second
class, because the people there we're
so much friendlier and they were will
ing to speak to anyone so to make the
trip merrier. l told you that If YOU
contemplated a trip to Europe would
advise second class because the cars
are not generally crowded and you
can always find someone who can
talk English. If you buy a ticket sec
ond class just look for the number,
II on the door, If you get first class
look for car markell, and II third,
III, so you do not need to ask any
questions but Just walk in with a
smile and you will be sure that some
enc viii be glad to make room for you.
You do not need to speak any foreign
languages but just smile and to 10
you will find some one that can talk
with you.

met many Americans. They are all
glad to see you and to speak to you.
1t is the same in Italy
OF all the cities have visited in

are the most artistic and the best of
people. The living is very moderate.
1t is just too bad 1t is summer for

three months. As Mr.. Felter says, in
travelling in Italy, the impression is
gained that the people are very indus
trious, still their agriculture is far
behind that of America. But here
they only have patches to work. just
think of an area of 10000 square
miles having to support 33,000.00
souls. and still they all seem to get
along admirably. They have good
wine, and the Olive and wheat crops
are big
Money is cheap. You can get all
you want at 3h and per cent on
good security. Turin has better ex-
hibits than Rome for the United

without any exhibition or museums.
