Gently married here. moving with her
husband to his farm, near Tyrone.
Her untimely death was caused by
the use of coal oil, but as no one was
in the house with her the exact ma
ture of the accident is not known. 1t
is supposed she threw oil on the fire
in order to hasten dinner. which she
was preparing and it ignited her
clothing. She Immediately started
for her husband, who was working
In the field near by, but before she
could reach him and he could render
any assistance, her clothing had been
entirely burned off Every remedy
that could be done with human
hands was applied to the suffering
woman, but the intense pain and
shock soon carried her to that great

of that place, and the remains

start in with a column of clippings
from the nelghboring Oklahoma pa
pers, and also, on the inside pages,
will be found a page OF General Ok
lahoma news from the agricultural
college and otherwise. 1t Is our in
tention to make this special fea-
ture of the paper and as soon as we
can make necessary arrangements,
we will have news from Beaver City
by a special correspondent. This Is
feature that has not heretofore
been practiced by this paper, but will
receive special attention in the fu-
ture. Since there is large volume
OF trade comes to Liberal from Bea-
yer county and the Democrat enjoys
a large circulation in those parts. we
think it will be to the advantage Of
the advertisers of Liberal as well as
of special interest to our readers.

was no bridge in sight, and a little
work on the banks would make 1t a
fairly good crossing, and while there
is some sand near the river, it is'no
worse than the road south Of the Ed
munds crossing, which has been neg
lected the last few months.
The local auto owners should also
arrange to mark the main travelled
roads over the county. This will
look much better as we'll as being

pass through here
Nearly all the counties east Of here
have their roads marked at the turns,
and have put up signs directing tray-
