A FATAL SHOT.
B. D. Nelson, Enraged By
His Wife's Infidelity,
SHOOTS HER.
Dan Doddard, Her Paramour,
Also Under Arrest.
Sympathy of the Entire Community With
Nelson.
Tuesday morning, the startling In
formation was Hashed over the wires
that another murder had been com
mitted in Wheeler township, this
time In the village itself.
Uralnard I). Nelson, of Lafayette,
had shot and instantly killed his wife,
Sophronie. in a fit of insane jealousy,
caused by his wife's conduct with a
fellow uamed David Doddard. The
shoot in"; took place in a house occu
pied by Doddard and Mrs. Nelson.
From interviews with Nelson, Slier
rilT McCullouk'h, Prosecutor McCall
and others, we believe the fol
lowing to be the facts in relatim
to the shooting: Nelson, who was
staying at the hotel in Wheeler, saw
his wife pass his boarding place, and
asked her about uointf to St. Louis
with him that day. She had agreed to
leave Doddard and rent a houe in St.
Louis. Nelson walked with her to
ward the house where she and Dodd
ard lived, when he informed her
husband that she had decided not to
(jo to St. Louis or have anything more
to do with him. They entered the
house, when she said to Nelson: "I
will net go with you, you can go
where you like: 1 shall stay with
Doddard: Where he goes 1 will go,
and where 1 go he will go: I never in
tended to go with you." At this
point, so Nelson says, overcome with
anger at the duiliclt of his wife, he
drew a revolver, which he carried in
self defence, and shot her just back of
the car, the bullet penetrating the
base of the brain, and killing her in
stantly. She fell forward against
her boy, a little fellow about
ten years old, who was stand
ing near her at the time. The boy
ays that Nelson then put tho ipvol
ver in his own mouth and snapped it,
but it failed to go oil. He then sank
to the lloor and was putting his
arms about the dying woman, when
Doddard rushed in, seized him, threw
him aside, jumped on his hand with
his boot, hsdly injuring the hand, and
taking Mrs. Ncl-on in his arms, was
holding her when the neighbors
rushed in.
Uoth Nelson and Doddard were at
once taken into custody. A jury was j
impanelled before Justice Swope, who
soon brought in a verdict that Mrs.
Nelson came to her death by a hole
through the base of her brain, caused
by a shot tired from a revolver in the
hands of her husband, J'rainard D.
Nelson.
The Ufa oiMi believes that there are
many extenuating circumstances.
Ninety-nine out of every hundred
people in Wheeler and Lafayette think
that Nelson was Justified in what he
did and that his only mistake was
that he did not kill Doddard as well.
If homoridc is ever justifiable under
such circumstance it was piubably so
in this cafe. Lver since last spring,
when under a live year lease and a
bargain f jr board with Mrs. Nelon,
Doddard came to live in the Nelson
home, there have been ugly rumors of
their conduct. The house, barn and
feed burned and it was thought that
Doddard and the woman knew how
it happened. Then Mrs. Nelson
rented a house a mile away and Dod
dard moved in and crow ded Nelson out.
Tho neighbors drove Doddard and
Mrs. Nelson out of the neighborhood,
so it is claimed, and they went to
Wheeler. Two weeks ago, so Nelson
says, she promised to leave Doddard
and go somewhere ec and live with
him if Nelson would sell his farm
He did so, getting $.is.j above the
mortgage. Of this he gave Doddard
$2no to give up his lease and go away
and trouble them no more. lie gave
Mrs. Nelson $loo,$10 to pay a mortgage
on a cow, il" to pay for furniture, and
afterward :io of his pension, and
then, when she had all the old man's
money, the heartless woman owned
up that she never Intended to live
with him. It was this which finally
drove Nelonto commit the rash deed.
He Is a pensioner, fifty-three years of
age, harmless, and InolTensivc, wis
never arrested before and has borne a
good reputation among his neighbors.
It seems to have been a clear cae of
emotional insanity caused by the out
rageous treatment he had received
from Doddatd atid his wife.
Rnrdock "Flood Bitters giypfc a man a
clear head, an active brain, a strong,
vigorous body makes him fit for the

Can You be Convinced
That Or. Chase's Ointment i5 an
Absolute Cure for
ITCHING PILES?
Scores ami Thousands Nave Been
Convinced by being Cured
Baptist AlinMer Telia how
He Was Cured by
DR. CHASERS OINTHENT
There are so many preparations recom
mended to cure piles, and so many that
utterly fail, that most people who sufier
the tortures of this loathsome disease
become discouraged and despair of ever
being cured.
It is just such people who, when once
cured, most strongly recommend hr.
Chase's Ointmeut, because they recog
nize in it the oue absolute cure foritcu
ing piles.
The evidence published here is con
vincing; the only better proof is a trial.
The first application of Dr. Chase's
Ointmeut will convince the most skep
tical by stopping the terrible itching and
burning. It is very seldom that more
than one box is required to absolutely
cure any case of blind, itching, bleeding
or protruding piles.
Rev. V. N. Edwards, Hiptist minister,
109 Trinity Place, IhilTalo, N. V., writes:
"I can most heartily recommend Dr. A.
W. Chase's Ointment as a positive cure
for itching piles. Tor over 15 yean
the piles have been a source of constant
annoyance to me, and frequently the
suffering has been tnot intense. The
benefits derived from the ue of Dr. A.
W. Chase's Ointment have !eeu magical
and lasting, and I feel it a duty to my
fellow-beings to recommend it and use
my influence to make its wonderful
merits known. "

"The new Mauser pistol, withvhich
our cavalry is about to be armed, is a
horrible loohirg p'e-e-e ef machinery,"
said an est he-t ie sport sman the other day.
"It le)esn't re-se-inble a lire-arm at all,
but looks like some strange se-ie-ntific
instrument, such as one might see in
i laboratory. Imagine a cigar box,
japanncel black, with a handle at one
nel and a .hort tube at the ejthe r, and
there you have it. The bex contains
the mechanism and the tube spouts
bullets. The cavalryman of the past
was a dashing figure'. He wore a steed
juirass and a helmet with nodding
plumes, and while he carried a brace of
pisteils in his holsters, his real weapon
was hih trusty saber. Do you remem
ber the . pi end id Je-io v . vviiu ui'e e,.i Hop
ing past Napoleon in Meissonier's '107 ?
Sine-e then science has gradually sucked
all the- poetry out of war anel the Mauser
pisted is the last work of brutal utili
tarianism. The cavalryman ef the
future will carry nothing but a small
black walnut bov. r.rel will eIoe-!y re
MMuble a surgeon geung out to operate
fer appendicitis. When he ge-ts to the
right spot, designated by the engineer
corps, lie will dismount, open the box,
take out his hideous Mauser machine,
hook the case to one end, so as to form
a shoulder rest, spray a few quarts of
projectiles in a given direction and go
home again to rest afte-r the fatigue of
the fray. If the calculations of the
range finder are all right his bullets per
forate somebody a mile away. That
will be war a la mode. In some respects
It is a great improvement on the old
style, but it will inspire no poets. Im
