A DOUBLE KILLING
Lyons Farmer Shoots Wife,
Then Turns Gun on Self.
Quarrel Over Division of Prop
erty Given as Cause.

Lyons, Feb. 13.-Joseph Bolton, a
wealthy farmer living seven miles
northeast of this city, shot and killed
his wife, then rode horseback to his
sons home, five miles distant, where
he shot himself when officers arrived.
Authorities said the Bottoms had quar-
relied over a division of their prop
erty.
The shooting occurred about II
o'clock in the morning. and the body
of his mother was discovered by a son
when he came in from the field for
dinner. Officers were at once notified
and the search for Mr.. Bolton began.
Neighbors said the couple had quar-
relied many times in recent years
When the officers appeared at the
home of his son, Bolton shot at them
from around the corner of the house
with the same .3S-caliber revolver he
had used in killing his wife, then he
ran to the other side of the building
and killed himself.
Mr.. Bolton was one of the earliest
settlers in this section, having come
here in 1876. Twenty-three years age
he married the woman he killed today.
They were the parents of four chill
dren. One of their sons, Wiley o.
Bolton, is a soldier in France. The
others are living at home. The son to
whose home Mr.. Bolton fled after his
crime, is by his first wife.

Adoo, who recently became general
counsel for the United Artists asso.
citation, the big Five" combination OF
movie players, has been increased
from 100000 to 100000, and that
the former secretary of the treasury
has signed a contract for three years
That would indicate the association
has taken on more permanent aspects
that it was believed to possess last
week.
1t is said the big Five orsaniza-
ton has about a million dollars in its
exploitation fund. F'ilmdom rumors
also are to the effect certain interests
in the east are taking hand in the
formation of the United Artists asso-
citation, which now is composed OF
David w. Griffith, Mary Pickford,
Charles Chaplin and Douglas Fair
banks While William S. Hart is re-
ported member of the concern, he
has not signed the general agreement
and desires more time to consider the
matter before taking up the offer
Fairbanks has been given the credit
of obtaining McAdoo's consent to en-
tering the screen game. The two are
said to have become warm friends
since the former "stumped" the coun-
try for the liberty loan and in a state
ment recently issued McAdoo says he
would have taken the position with the
United Artists association if for -

SAGE TEA
DANDY TO
DARKEN HAIR
Look years younger! Use the old
t.. time Sage Tea and Sulphur
3 and nobody will know.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get a bottle of ''Wyeth S
Sage and Sulphur Compound at any
drug store. Millions of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe. improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here. because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
THOSE whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luXuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray
haired. unattractive folks aren't
wanted around. so get busy with

SAMSON FOR SENATE
Cove Representative Doped To OPP
pose James Malone, Democrat.

Representative Samson of Cove
county is a likely senatorial candidate
next year. according to legislative gos-
| sip. Samson is doped as a possible
Republican nominee to oppose Sena-
tor James Malone of Rawlins county,
who has represented the Thirty-ninth
district in the upper house since Dis
| trict Attorney Fred Robertson was
| here in 1911.
The candidacy of Samson on the
Republican ticket ought to make a
beautiful fight in the Thirty ninth
district if Senator Malone is renomi-
mated for a. third term by the Demo-
crats-Which just now seems quite
probab BILE and certain. Samson is a
native of the short grass country. In
fact, he is a native of Cove county.
He has served three sessions in the
house and has made record as one
OF the strong and aggressive house
members. He has won several i'm
portant committee assignments and
has been effective in the work on the
floor.
Out in Quinter, Samson is engaged
in the lumber business. He is a sue
cessful merchant and his work in the
Kansas house has won his renomina-
ton and reelection without opposi-
ton. Samson has not declared his in
tentions to seek a senatorial nominal
ton, but the gossip among northwest
ern members indicate that he will be
pushed into the race. He is well
known in the counties of the district
and Republican leaders believe that if
the Democrat senator from Herndon
can be beaten that Samson is the man
to handle the job.
Senator Malone. who may be a can
! didate for third term, first came to
Topeka during the Hodges admins
tration in 1913 He was one of the
strong men of the Democrat senate of
| 1913-15- He was reelected in 1916
and has been one of the leaders of
the upper house minority in the ses-
sions of 1878

HE REFUSED PAY
Travis Turned Down Voucher
for January Salary.
Was Officially on Job, but in
Reality in the Army.

Frank L. Travis, state superintend-
ent of insurance, has forever put to
rest a more or less general impress
a state official or employee grabs for
the state funds with both hands. OF
course the persons familiar with state
house affairs long ago laid aside the
impression-when they viewed the
spectacle OF officials and employees
seeking to meet 1919 living prices on
1888 salary schedules. ~
But Travis this week turned the
trick which can stand as exhibit A
for state house integrity. When the
new state superintendent of Insurance
ca me to Topeka this week. he found a
voucher on his desk for his January
salary-from the time of the change
in administrations until February 1.
Travis looked at the voucher and took
it to Fred W. Knapp. state auditor.
Il can't use this declared Travis.
WHY" asked the auditor. That's
your salary check"
Eyes, 1 know" replied Travis. But
l wasn't here and | wasn't working
and you can take this thing back
And back the voucher went. Off
cially Travis had been on the job.
Actually he had been in army service.
He drew army pay during January.
So the pay check which was drawn
to his favor in good faith and under
strict interpretations of the law, was
rejected. And the poor downtrodden
taxpayer with a bin of $3.50 wheat
can look at his tax receipt next fall
| and swear. But the swearing must be
on some subject other than them
