Fourteen Year Old Boy Starts On
Walk to Michigan.

Jeff BransOn, a fourteen year old
boy, left Great Bend the first of the
week on a trip which would probab-
ly be more than the average grown
man would care to undertake. The
young fellow has been making his
home with a brother in this city,
but who, We understand, has recent
ly left town, and the boy being left
homeless is trying to make his way
to sister who lives / n Michigan
and where he expects to make his
home. He is not choosing walking
as a means of trivel because he pre-
fers it, but because he was without
money and it was a case of walk or
not so. He expects to obtain work
enough while on the trip at odd jobs
to provide himself with food and
shelter.

Popular School Teachers.

Mr.. and Mrs. P. E. Murphy, Of Lib
erty township, were called to Chilli.
cothe. Mo-. Monday morning by a
message announcing the sudden dealt
Of Mrs. John Murphy. wife Of Mr..
Mrphy's brother, which had occur.
red at their country home near that

Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Damn, also
former residents of this county, Mrs,

Mrs. Murphy had been in her usual

couch in the sitting room. After lay.
ing there a few minutes she sudden

faint, and before her sister or huS-
band, who was in the next room

Mrs. Murphy, whose maiden name
was Elizabeth Tyrrell, was for many

V Too Early To Begin Preparations For Making Exhibits The Barton County Fair
ON THE WAR PATH.
Con Riggs, Of Pawnee Rock, Proves
/ To Be "sad Actor"

Under ordinary conditions when
hothing occurs to arouse his ire l. c.
Riggs, Of Pawnee Rock, better known
as Can, is an Industrious peaceable
man and a credit to the community
10 which he lives. He has long been
known as a man who would fly into
ungoyernoble rage over any matter
no difference how trivial II he could
possibly construe it as a slight or an
Insult to himself, and on these .oc-
casions was likely to use what ever
weapon was quickest available. The
people of Pawnee Rock among whom
he has lived since a boy knowing his
peculiar disposition have been dis
posed to overlook this short coming
In view of the fact that he is ex-
tremely industrious and has been for
many years the support of his aged
mother.
The happenings Of last Sunday af.
ternoon however make it extremely
probable that Pawnee Rock has seen
the last of the antics of the man
in question for some little time. He
has recently been peeved over local
occurrences and in trying to pacify
him his wife added fuel to the flame
and he became so abusive to her
that she fearing he would do her
bodily injury wrote to her parents at
Syracuse, asking them to come and
take her home with them. They ar
rived on Saturday evening and ar
rangements had been made for the
daughter and her child to return
with them on the Sunday evening
train. All was serene until some
matter came up which started Mr..
Riggs angry passions to working and
business at once picked up. Riggs an
nounced his intention Of killing the
bunch and proceeded to choose him
a trusty six gun, from his arsenal
and opened fire on his wife, who
fortunately was not hit. He next
turned his attention to his fatherinlaw
Mr.. Prangle, who is an elderly gentle
man and walks with cane. One shot
wounded Mr.. Prangle, going through
the fleshy part Of both legs and max
ing a very serious wound.
Report has it that he placed the
gun to the reast of his father-in-law,
after shooting him in the legs and
pulled the trigger but the gun snap
ped and failed to explode. While in
the process of acting as executioner
on the person Of Mr.. Prangle he
was overpowered and disarmed by the
women and Immediately left the
premises. He was later taken into
custody by local police officers and
locked up pending the arrival Of
Sheriff Brown, who later went up
and go him.
Riggs is now in the county Jail
awaiting his preliminary which is
set for to-day.
The wounded man was taken home
to Syracuse Sunday evening and is
mending slowly. Mrs. Riggs ac'
companied her parents and what ever
the out come of the trial it seems
an assured fact that Can Riggs days
Of matrimonial bliss are at an end.

COLDS LEAD To
CONSUMPTION

This is the story told in hundreds OF
cases of Consumption: Il Just had a.
little cold at the start, Doctor, and the
cold kept coming back on me every
winter! 1t would settle on my lungs
and go deeper and deeper and finally
it seemed as though 1 never would
get free of that cold. Lately 1 have
begun to be weak; lost lots Of sleep:
have fever and sweats nights; and
am just racked to pieces with this
cough. If I could only get this cough
stopped l would be al right; have
tried everything I could hear of, all
seemed to help for a little while and
then the effects would wear off, and
/ would be worse than before"
Consumption usually starts with a
catarrhal condition that is developed
in the late fall or early spring and
the best time to correct the processes
that lead to Consumption is in the be-
ginning.
The cure Of early stages of this
disease is usually a simple matter of
a few months treatment with the
Doctor in charge Of the German
American Institute in the Thiesen
building.
The patient eats better; sleep re-
freshes him; the night sweats stop;
that feeling Of exhaustion passes
away; the cough stops, especially at
night. and he begins to get stronger,
to take on weight. and to feel better
and to look better, and if persisted
in and care taken after stopping the
treatment he viii be cured and stay
cured

no misleading or deceptive PROPOSE
tions are ever made to the afflicted,
neither is there q promise to cure in
