TRAGEDY OCCURS ON RANCH
Rash Act Committed Last Thursday
Morning Sad Ending Of Promising
Young Life.

Supposedly brooding over love af-
fair until his mind became temporarily
unbalanced, J. Kerlee, a young man,
aged twenty two years, took poison last
Thursday morning and in few hours
was cold in death.
The young man, who with his youn-
ger brother and Rudolph Cain, had
been living on the Chase ranch, nine
miles north Of town, where the three
have been batching during the winter,
complained Thursday morning of bit
ter taste in his mouth and later became
violently i'll and died in convulsions
several hous after breakfast. That
death was self-inflicted is evident from
the circumstances leading up to the
suicide as well as the conversation of
the young man during the last few
hours he lived. His companions en-
ployed all aid at hand and suggested
giving mustard, ETC., as an antidOte but
he stated it was of no use and seemed
to desire to die.
4NeuIcdI dlu was summoned and Dr.
Warner arrived shortly after his death,
making a careful examination which
convinced him death was due to poison
ing and doubtless the poison used was
stryehnine.
Coroner Blake was notified and he,
in company with Sheriff Eimers and
Atty. Hattabaugh went out Friday
night and conducted an investigation
A jury was empanelled and the case
gone into thoroughly, the evidence
showing beyond the shadow of doubt
that it was a case of suicide and the
jury brought in verdict in accordance.
The deceased, who was an exemplary
young man, has resided on the prairie
for years and besides having a number
of brothers, is survived by mother,
upon whose heart the grief hangs
heavily.
The affair is one of those sad ones
that cause the heart of every man and
woman to beat in sympathy with the
bereaved family and friends of the
deceased.

A very pretty wedding was SOL
emnized yesterday evening, when
Miss Agnes Todd and Mr.. Milton
Marcus were united in marriage by
Rev. J. L. Ward, pastor of St.Paul's
NJ. P. Church, this city. The cere-
mony took place at the residence of
the brides sister, Mrs. George H.
Harris. on Washington street. The
bride was very becomingly attired in
cream serge, with hat and gloves to
match, and carried white carnations.
The groom wore the conventional
black. with grey gloves.
The wedding was a surprise to
everyone, and only the relatives and
immediate friends were present. I'm
mediately after the ceremony. the
happy couple left for their future
home. about nine miles from Cam
bridge, where the groom is extern
sively engaged in farming. They
were the recipients Of many use

friends wish them long and hap

4 New Era.

The Inauguration of Woodrow
Wilson as President Of the United
States yesterday, at Washington,
marks a new era in American poll
tics. It means a return to govern
ment in the interest of the masses
of the people, instead of a few; it
means the driving out of politics of
;hat class of persons who believe
that every man has his price, and
that the highest duty of man is
to get what he wants, mo matter how
he does SO.
The day has passed when the
public can be fooled into believing
that clean. honest, upright govern
ment can result from debauched
elections. The public now knows
that the man who purchases an cleo
ton looks upon the matter as a
business proposition, and expects
to get a liberal return, in one
way or another, upon every dollar
that he invests for corrupting pur-
poses.
With the Wilson administration
there will dawn a different state of
affairs; a return, as 1t were,
to the old days Of the Republic,
when men were elected for their
worth to the public, and not for the
advancement Of their own individual
interests. This turning point in the
political conditions will be watched
with interest by every man who
has the welfare of his country and
his home at heart.

hot OF the Otner element.
These facts would give force to
the candidacy of any decent man,
but there IS more than that to the
Wilson support in this case. The
main thing is the personality OF
Woodrow Wilson himself. He has
made this his fight. He has de.
clared to his friends that he de.

In addition to that, they are be-

political machine smashers of the
age in this or any other country
Woodrow Wilson and William Jen-
nings Bryan. -
These facts are sufficient to in
dictate that the local machine is
about to enter upon the fight OF its
life. There are, besides, other ele-
ments of strength to the Lee-Mar-

Then he told the little girl to sing
