forms the duties of clerk to the Sem

Mrs. Shelton does not wear square,
toed boots: her features are not tri-
angles, nor is her hair short, nor does
she wear spectacles. On the contrary
she is tall, slender woman. with
eyes and hair. She dresses tastefully
but not ostentatiously. Her manner
is charming, her voice low and sweet.
and she is able to adapt herself to any
circumstances, business or social.
Mrs. Shelton tells the story of her
accomplishments simply and with an
absolute lack of elf-consciousness.
In fact, she declares that everything
came SO gradually that she was really
unaware OF it until actually placed at

Harry Draper, at one time res
ident of this town, was shot and
seriously injured at Berwind last
Tuesday evening, by a man by
the name of Blanket, with a shot
gun, the load taking effect in
Draper's face and mouth. Blanket
escaped but was later captured
and is now in Jail at Welch.
1t appears that Draper, who was
a special officer, at Berwind, hear
ing shots in the town, went to To-
cate them, and was fired on by
Blanket, as stated. Draper fired
one shot at the man, wounding him
in the hand. Diapers left eye was
removed at the hospital in Welch
on Wednesday morning, and it is
thought that his final recovery is
likely if no complications set I'D.
