TWO PLAN DEATH
One Woman Dead, One Dying,
by Shooting.
3frs. Carl Ward Fires Four
Shots Into Heart.
Salina. Kansas, Ost. 22. Mrs. W. R.
Cox, who was found unconscious in
her home yesterday after having been
shot, today admitted to the police that
she had been fired upon by her close
friend. Mrs. Carl Ward, who a short
time later committed suicide by shoot
ing herself ajid jumping into a cistern.
According to Mrs. Cox the shot which
struck her may have been fired ac
chlently as Mrs. Ward had shown her
the revolver just prior to the shooting.
Salina, Kan., Oct. 22. Mrs. Call
Ward killed herself by shooting her
self above the heart and jumping into
a cistern.
Shortly afterward", Mrs. W. R. Cox
was found at her home, shot through
the left breast, but still living.
Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Cox had form
erly lived together.
After the suicide of Mrs. Ward was i
discovered, Mrs. Supple drove to the;
Cox home to inform Mrs. Ward's ;
friends. She found no one until she:
went upstairs when she found Mrs.
Cox. who linked what was w rong and i
why a siranger came there. j
As the two women had stayed to
gether, it was first believed there was
a suicide pact.
Neither Carl Harris nor W. R. Cox,
husbands of the women, can be lo
cated. They are traveling salesmen.
The Wards have been staying at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R.
Cox. Mr. Ward has just purchased a
new cottage and it was at this place
the suicide was committed.
Oscar Limn was painting the Ward ;
hou'P when Mrs. Ward came in by way
of the rear door. She said something
that "ounded to Mr. Lunn like '"You're in
h hurry." but he says it misrht have been
" I'm in a hurry." With that -she opened
the door and "went into another room.
Lunn says he heard a revolver shot
The hnllet entered the door where lie was
painting. He opened the door, t'ninki..
the woman was shooting at him. Then
he heard three or four more s'.lS in
quick succession.
Just at this time Will Boswell entered
and grappling with the woman took the
nun from her. He rushed out to sum
mon a physician. Mrs. Ward all this
1me lay rn the floor in the room where
flip iiad fired the Pilots.
Suddenly the woman arose. Rushing
through the house she went out the uacK
door, jerked the cover off a narrow cis
tern and plunged into the deep hole.
The body was ta!:en out as soon is
possible but she evidently had died as
soon as she fell into the cistern.
"Senator Hodges, who made a good
Progressive record in the senate, af
ter he ran for governor, lined up with
the reactionaries and took away from
the Progressives the organization of
the senate, which carried with it con
trol of the senate and thereby defeat
ed many important Progressive meas
ures. Hodges was careful to vote for
these good measures himself, but when
he lined up the Democrats against the
Progressive Republicans and with the
standpat Republicans in the state sen
ate, he sounded the deathknell of sev
eral big and important Progressive
measures. More than that, during all
this campaign Senator Hodges has
been making an open bid for standpat
votes. He has been ridiculing all the
work done by Governor Stubbs, and
charging him falsely with increasing
the state expenditures. Every one
knows that the governor can not spend
one single penny for any purpose with
out being authorized by law. And
Hodces, as a member of the ways and
means committee in the senate voted
upon every item of increased expendi
ture for which he is now complaining.

Wall St., New York, Oct. 22. STOCKS
The hesitating tone of today's stock mar
ket was again a direct reflection of con
ditions abroad. Opening prices showed
some irregularity in contrast to the weak
ness In London, and some followed by
general betterment. With such exceptions,
however, as the Coalers, Union Pacific,
Steel and Amalgamated Copper, the rise
did not go far enough to carry conviction.
Trading was active in the first hour but
fell off towards noon, when prices were
slightly under their best. Specialties were
less prominent than usual and call loan.v
opening at 5 per cent gave intimations of
increasing monetary firmness.
Bonds were easy.
fThe market turned generally upward
soon after the opening but the higher
level Invited profit taking sales, and the
tone again became irregular.
Considerable irregularity was shown in
prices at the opening of today's stock
market. Reading and Lehigh Valley were
strongest of the representative Issues soon
gaining a full point. Steel also displayed
strength on large dealings. Canadian Pa
cific, which opened off, soon recovered to
a fraction above yesterday's close.
