SHOT BY INSANE WIFE
I'D Finley, of Grand River, Shot
4 Three Times by His Wife Sun-
day, but Will Recover.

An unfortunate shooting affair
took place at Grand River last Sun
day afternoon, when Mrs. Ed EN-
ley, while .laboring under an in
sane hallucination that her hus-
band was drunkard, fired tive shots
at Mr.. EmTey, three taking effect, two
striking him in the neck and one in
the side. The weapon used was a
small .22 calibre affair, and Mr.. EN-
ley, who was brought to the Leon
hospital Sunday evening, is getting
along fine, and expected to be able
clans removed one ball from the
back of his neck, but did not attempt
to remove the others.
Mrs. Emley is about AZ years of
age and her husband year or SO
ed citizen of Grand River, who turned
run, and has been engaged in the
livery business at Grand River. Mrs.
Emley has been in poor health for
some time, suffering from a COM
plication of diseases, and this has evil
IDENTIFY affected her mind, and she has
imagined that her husband has be-
come drunkard, when there was no
foundation for this thought whatever.
Sunday Mr.. Emley drove some
parties to Davis City in his auto and
upon his return was sitting in the
restaurant when his wife appeared
with a revolver and commanded him
to go home. He started out with her
and when they reached point near
their house, just in the rear of the
livery stable, she commenced shoot
ing at him as stated. She then at
tempted to shoot herself, but Willard
Boles, who was witness to the
shooting, secured hold on the nam
mer so that it would not go OF. About
this time she collapsed and Mr.. En-
ley and his son carried her into the
house. Mrs. Emley bought the re-
volver some time ago from Sears,
Roebuck & Co., and after the shoot
ing declared she intended to kill her
husband, their six year old boy and
herself.
Yesterday morning an information
was filed before the insane commits
sion, and Mrs. Emley was examined.
she was perfectly willing to go some
place to be treated, as she realized
she was not right, and the commls-
sion ordered her. to be taken to the
hospital at Clarinda for treatment,
and she was taken there on the after
noon train.
The unfortunate affair is deplored
greatly by all who know the clrcum-
stances, and it is hoped that treat
ment will restore Mrs. Emley's rea--
son and that Mr.. Emley, will fully re-
cover from the shooting.

Ice Famine Relieved.

After being without ice for week,
the famine was broken last Friday,
when J. M. Caster commenced deliv-
ering artificial ice from his ice plant.
When Mr.. Caster got down to the last
layer of natural ice in his big ice
house, which he had thought would
supply his patrons at least until the
i.rst of September, he found that the
drainage pipes had become clogged
and water was standing on the ice,
and that the entire layer had melted
away. Some repairs at the ice plant
required. time to fix before it could be
started up, but he thinks he will be
able to keep all his customers sup
nlied now

Has No Business On a Chautauqua
Platform.

There was one speaker who appear
ed on the Leon Chautauqua program,
with whom many found great deal
of fault, and he is man who should
not be permitted to appear on any
Chatauqua platform. We refer to
ex-senator Burkett, who spoke last
Wednesday afternoon. Burkett was
elected to congress by an accident,
but one term was enough, and his
constituents retired him by big
vote at the end of his first term. He
is one of those bigotted fools, who
imagines that he is big sit, and
that very few of his hearers have any
brains. At various times in his lee
ture he stopped to roast people who
had to leave or did not care to hear
him. This is something which no
speaker haas right to do, bawl out
any person who sees fit to leave.
They had paid for the privilege of go
ing, and have a perfect right to leave
the tent at any time, and without sub
jecting themselves to ridicule by the
speaker, who takes advantage of his
position on the platform. He does
not know why people have to leave.
They may have to catch train, have
dnOtneF engagement, OF QUIET SlA1lldi
good reasons for leaving, or if they
do not like the speaker, they are not
compelled to remain and hear him. A
public speaker who will bawl out
ladies and gentlemen simply because
they leave during his address, is
lacking every element of gentle
man, and is low down cad. He
knows they have no chance to make
any explanation, and in Burkett's
case we Know of number who want
ed to leave but were forced to remain
for fear of being ridiculed by him. No
Chautauqua management should per-
NIT such practice by any speaker on
their program. If this, fellow Bur-
kett were to return to Leon he would
not have corporals guard out to
hear him.

Chautanqua Closed Friday nikht.

The Leon Chautauqua closed Fri
day night with everybody pretty we'll
satisfied with all the attractions for
the eight days. OF course every pro-
gram did not exactly suit everybody,
but taking it all the way through it
was splendid program, the best we
have ever had in Leon, and suffici-
ent guarantee was made to secure the
return of the Midland Chauauqua to
Leon next year.
On Wednesday the speaker was ex-
Senator Elmer J. Burkett, of Neb-
raska, who spoke on "The Protest of
Americanism Against the Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads." and
this lecture was the poorest on the
entire program, the speaker getting in
pad with his audience when he roast
ed any one who had to leave during
his address. The music was by the
Sibyl mmis-McDermid Company,
consisting of Mrs. McDermid, fine
singer, assisted by Abe Sopkin. a
young Russian yiolinist, and Seneca
Pierce, pianist. 1t was high class, the
only objection being that much of it
: was little too classical to be appreci-
ated by the majority of the audience.
They gave the entire program in the
evening.
Thursday afternoon Ned Wood
man, humorist and cartoonist ably
entertainer the big audience, and he
was fine. The. Katchel Metropolitan
Singers did not arrivel until late but
gave-several fine elections. This COM
pany provided the concert on Thurs
day evening and many pronounced it
by far the best thing on the program
in the way of music. There were sew
en- members of the company, and each
one was an artist Their rendering
of the old songs of many years ago,
was exceptionally fine and found a
responsive chord with their hearers.
Then there was little Scotchman
named John Brodie who sang Harry
Lauder songs to perfection, and he
was called back time after time. 1t
was a we'll balanced company of ar
lists and they will win out with any
Chautauqua audience.
Friday, the closing day, was devot-
ed to the big Florentine Band, but
they could not reach Leon until the
4:15 train, so Floyd Miles, one time
newspaper reporter and former city
treasurer of Des Moines, gave lee
ture, and all who heard him spoke
in words of praise. When the big
band arrived they gave a short pro-
gram, and full concert in the even
ing. This band is an exceptionally
large and fine one, and their music
pleased everybody
The Chautauqua is over and every
one who attended feels better for
having hard the varied splendid en-
tertainment, and instructive lectures.

transcontinental flight from Halifax
to Vancouver, thence across the
Pacific and through all of the British

the evening was a far-reaching one
covering many subjects upon which
an entire lecture might be given. There
was a better house last night for the
lecture than there has been for the
past two lectures, but Harrisburg owes
it to Mr.. Holmes and the local man
agement to patronize these lectures In
even larger numbers. Not dry mat
ter of-fact" lectures these. Mr..
Holmes accelerated motion pictures
provide an element of humor yet drive
home the point he wishes to make,
and too, he has a way of using some
of our colloquialisms as captions for
his pictures that brings forth many a
laugh. Mr.. Holmes lectures are not
alone entertaining; they are instruc-
tive to the highest degree.
