nothing to mur the pleasure of the

was a team driven by.D. B.. Costuma
and Dr. Kasly and the animals start
ed to run a' short distance this side
of the reservation line. After they
had run some distance one of the
horses commenced to kick and he
was pulled down by Mr. Costuma. No
harm was done excepting that the

Another young man, William Coff

while on the way to the Indian cele
bration but he escaped without any
Injury.
During the celebration at Walla

Miss., says: Unable to decide which
of three women he really wanted to
marry, Ell Hood, 17 years old, a
boarder at the farm house of .Ell
Graves, eight miles from Hazlehurst,
yesterday decided that the best way
out of this difficulty was to commit
suicide, in such a way that each of
the women would know that he had
killed himself for her.
r or miss carrie Nelson, 18 years
old, he swallowed 60 grains of mor
phlne, for Mrs. Eva Spellman, aged
35, he drank four ounces of laudanum
and for Miss Henrietta McDonald,
aged It, he put the muzzle of a shot
gun Into his mouth and pulled the
trigger with his toe.
Beside his body was found on a ta
ble a paper wrapper that contained
tho morphine. On it was scrawled
"For Carrie." The empty laudanum
bottle stood on a slip of' paper on
which was written "For Eva." An
empty envelope on which a picture of
a shotgun had been drawn was in
scribed "Henrietta."

queerly and that he had become de

Judge Thomas Fitz Gerald, referee
in bankruptcy, has set July 18 at 10
o'clock as a time for selling the

sen. The sale will be held at 124 West
Court street, where the stock Is now

liquors and tobaccos will be sold at

tlonal bankruptcy law provides for
the public sale of bankrupt stocks.

Robert Kirkpatrick,- the well
known farmer near cayuse while at
tending to his evening work on, his

at hand to extinguish the blaze. It is

wheat fields If they are released dur
