J4stifi;able Shooting.

J. n. White, the party that
was shot and dangerously wound
ed al Hiverton last week by j. E.
Nc auahan, was still a live
VIII I.>l heard from.
From all accounts Mr.. White
wa d troublesome and danger
on man, and provoked the trou-
bic that brought about this sao
tragedy. 1t seems that Mr..
White recinded his contract with
Mr.. McCianahan by giving up
his teams and tools and quit
work On the farm, butrefused to
give up the house he was living
in. Mr., McCIanahan insisted on
him moving off of his place, but
White stated publicly that he
Woald die before he would move.
Nlr. McClanahan then consulted
an attorney, and served a legal
notice on White to vacate the
premises giving him ten days
which the law allows in which to
move. This notice seemed to
throw Mr.. White into a rage and
he sent Mr.. McClanahan word
by several parties and told sever
al others that he or McClanahan
one, must die when they met.
Mr.. Whites brother-in-law
reached River about 36 hours
after the trouble from Missouri,
and told several persons to see
Mr.. McClanahan, that he did not
blame him for shooting White,
for he had been expecting some
one to kill him for the last Is
years, that he was fussy and
overbearing and had been in
trouble every where he had been
and with everybody that he had
ever mad dealings with.
Public sentiment is strong in
Mr.. McClanahan's favor, and
Mr.. White doesn't seem to have
a friend anywhere.

Cigarette Law.

For the benefit of some of our
merchants who are in the habit
of selling boys tobacco and
cigarettes we reproduce the fol-
lowing law:
Section 2 of Act SO of 1900
says: THAT any person who
shall give, purchase for sale,
barter or exchange, tobacco and
cigarettes or cigarette papers to
minors in the State of Louisiana
shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor,
and on conviction thereoS shall
be fined not exceeding one hum
dred dollars or imprisonment not
exceeding sixty days or both at
the discretion of the court. Pro-
vided that the provisions of this
act shall not apply to the sale Of
tobacco, cigarettes or cigarette
paper to minors engager in bust
ness as merchants for the resale
of same"
The above is a good law, de-
signed to protect the young, both
physically and mentally, and to
permit them to grow up to mans
estate unstunted and with their
faculties as strong as unhamper-
ed growth will build them. Then
with such a protective law, Wher
young boys are seen on the
streets smoking something SHOULD
be done about it.

It is interesting to note that a
number of the patent medicine
fakirs, in view Of the fact that
the people have been warned
against that outrageous fraud so
much, are beginning to try new
ways of fooling the people.
Nowadays it is the custom for
our farmer-readers to get letters
from so-called eminent doctors"
in far-away States, enclosing
symptom blanks and proposing
to send special treatment" for
whatever ailment the applicant
may be supposed to have. This
is only the same old coon with
another ring around his tall"
and he is not wise who is deceiv-
ed thereby. Let the quacks alone.
1t is an unwritten law among re-
liable and reputable doctors all
over the world not to advertise TO,
patients or solicit patronage by
mail. The fact that any so-called
doctor does this is all the
warning you need to let him
alone.

PROBE MURDER Of
JERSEY WOMAN
Companion Held on Suspicion
in Mysterious Strangling
Case.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.--Coroner Hell
lenstein today will set date Tor the
inquest into the death of a woman
found at 2s1 West Twenty-third
street, where she had been known as
Mrs. Harry Beecham, put who later
was found to be Bertha Timer, of
Phillipshurg. ". j.. and who, it Is be-
lieved was strangled to death.
The man whose name she had
adopted and whose fortunes she had
followed for seven or eight years was
arrested while apparently about TO
leave the city, and later was held
on charge Of homicide.
His motive, according to the police
theory, was to get rid of the woman
so that he might return TO his wife,
who lives with their two children in
Easton, Pa. across the Delaware
river from PhiIlipsburg He deserted
them in 1906
Beecham stoutly denied that he had
killed Miss Timer, and passed
through two hours cross examina-
ton by Coroner Hellenstein and AS
sistant District Attorney Murphy
without showing the slightest indi-
cation Of breaking down.
The police admitted their case
against him was not particularly
strong, but at the same time they felt
they were justified in pressing the
murder charge, and the Investigation
viii so forward rapidly today.
