BODY FOUND IN RUINS
OF COUNTRY HOME

their fathers arrest Officers were
unable to find the man however so
that they could serve the warrant on
him.
About 9 o'clock neighbors noticed
the Applegate home on fire but before
It was noticed the house was afire in
all parts and 1t was soon consumed.
Putting the circumstances OF the af-
ternoon and evening together and re-
membering the enactment of similar
tragedy on an adjoining farm only a
few years ago, neighbors reached the
conclusion that Mr.. Applegate and
members of his family were in the
house probably killed by him before
the fire was started. Acting upon
these impulses the Coroner was noti-
fed and went to the scene.
After investigating for some time
the Coroner and his jury were unable
to get any facts upon which they
might find a verdict fixing any blame
whatsoever upon the dead man and
the following verdict was reached:
1--WE the Jury, summoned by the
Coroner of Mason County for the pur-
pose of finding the cause and manner
Of Tully Applegate5s death find that
he was found dead in his home burn
ed from some unknown cause on Oc-
tober l, 1919.

The news of the tragedy spread like
wild fire all over the entire neighbor

from miles around. The pixies being
almost blocked with machines ant

boring farms foot. There was mucl
excitement throughout that section o
the country and the nature Of the trag
edy could but remind all of the VIII
liam Bramble tragedy on the adjoining
farm few years previous when Nh
Bramble is said to have killed his wifi
and after setting fire TO his home kill
ed himself, both bodies being consum
ed by the fire which destroyed thei
home.
There have been several tragede
in that section of Mason county with
in the past half century including tn
Bramble case and the famous Rlgg
murder case but none has shaken tn
community to great depth than thi
one. Mr.. Applegate was recognized a
one of the finest gentlemen In tn
county and was thought to live hap

district.

A woman always looks best in her
favorite color. Do you dispute it?
No, it pretty nearly works out that
way. It may be sometimes the other
way round-that woman always
likes best the color that is most be-
coming to her. likes it best out of
sheer gratitude. Or perhaps when a
woman is wearing the color for which
her psychic self feels the greatest af-
finity, then she looks best. The wo-
man whose soul seems to expand
when under the dominance of violet
naturally is most attractive in violet.
Or, maybe it is a matter of types. If
you are the violet type, you not only
like violet best but your complexion
and hair and eyes are so blended that
they appear best in violet.
Wear Your Favorite Color.
However you explain it, it usually
is a pretty good rule to follow not to
wear the color that you really dislike.
And you will be going right If you
wear the color that you like best 10

well-known novelist who has an actual
mania for yellows. She wears seven
or eight different sorts of yellow at
once-and she is sallow of skin and
bleached as to eyes. In short, she's a
mess in yellow. But let's call her the
exception that proves the rule. For
most of us it will hold very well.

j. c. McCaffery has resigned as
steward OF the EIks club and will de-
vote all his time to theatrical interests
here. The Elks have not yet an
nounced his successor. A Kansas City
caterer. however. has been selected to
take over the job. it was learned.
1t is McCaffery's intention and that
of A. D. Birch, his business partner, to
build up the popularity of the Grand
to the position it should hold as a
theater in a city as large as Topeka.
The theatergoing public has been in
clined to complain McCaffery init
mated. on the fact that Topeka got so
few of the best shows.
1t is we'll known to every theater
manager that high class productions
can not be put on unless the patron
age is sufficient to warrant a, substan-
tial guarantee. Topeka has been given
a number of high class productions
already this season. These have not
received the support that should have
been given that class of entertainment
McCaffery pointed out.
A Sothern and Marlowe engage
ment here was cancelled recently.
This action was probably taken after
the experience of other high class
shows was noted. However. there are
still number of the best productions
scheduled to appear in Topeka late
in the season.
