was asked during her examination:
"What is woman's sphere?" Prompt

it in a woman's sphere to spank

In giving the particulars of the

following in reference to the identity
of the murderer:
Saturday morning a railroad man

mercantile business. The young man
t is only eighteen or twenty vears old;
and has ta-en away from Lome for

Las-t Saturday evening tat ween 7
and H o'clock, A. J. Pitchford and M.
Bradley, farmers, living east of the
rier, who had taen in the city on
business, and had taken on an undue
amount of "Benzine." became some
what iUiirrelsome, but left town in
good shape. They had not proceed
ed very far, however, before the
trouble was renewed, and in the vi
cinity of the Craig &. Greenhalge
brick yards they concluded to tight
it out; Bradley we understand mak
ing an assault on Pitchford, who it
seems did not desire to continue the
melee. The two men came together
and the result was Pitchford badly
cut or stabbed Bradley, inflicting an
ugly wound just below the navel.
Bradley was brought to town by Mr.
Fugh, a neighbor who was w ith the
parties, and taken to Drs. Allen &
Hullet's office over the liich Hill
Bank, where his wound was dressed
and the unfortunate man cared for
until Sunday afternoon, when he
was taken home. Mrs. Bradley had
been sent for and was w ith her hus
band when he was taken home. The
wound is a very dangerous one and
the chances are against recovery.
If the case develops into one of
blood poisoning, which it is most
likely to do there could be but little
hope. Mr. Bradley has no desire to
have Pitchford arrested, stating
that he himself is to blame, and if
he dies it makes no difference. He
says he is ready for any emergency,
and takes the situation with an air
of great indifference. Pitchford
w ill doubtless be arrested and held
under bonds until further develop
ments in the case.
Dr. Burgesserof Papinville was in
the city this afternoon and reported
the wounded suffering a great deal.
Both parties have the reputation
of being "bad men" when under the
influence of liquor. A year or two
ago Pitchford was similarly served
as his victim in this case by one of
his neighbors, whom Pitchford ex
onerated from blame as fully as
Bradlev does him now.

It is an old and trite saying that
"great minds often run in the same
channel." Of the truth of this say
ing we were forcibly reminded in
the similarity of articles published
in the Southern Democrat, published
at Appleton City, and the Western
Enterprise, of Rich Hill. The arti
cles were the same throughout, ex
cept the caption of one was "Fruits
of a Democratic Party," the other
"Democratic Party." These pajers
were published on the same day so
it is evident plagiarism wax not
practiced.

One night last week the store

fire, with all of its contents. The
day before the fire Mr. Webb re
ceived an anonymous letter to the
effect that he must return or pay for
the revolver and hat which were
captured trom the parties who at
tempted to rob his store lat spring,
an account of which was published
at the time in the Times. From
this it would appear that these same
miscreants are at their devil's work
and they should be hunted down
and brought to justice. Mr. Webb
was sleeping up stairs at the time
and was aroused just in time to es
cape by jumping from a window,
hurting himselt very had'v.

The many friends and aequantan
ces throughout the state of Mrs. Car
oline Pierce, wife of the late Rev. R.
R. Pierce, will be pained to learn
that she passed away at her
home in this city Monday morning
at 4 o'clock. She has been an inva
lid for more than a year and at the
time of her husband s sad death in
Kansas City was confined to her
bed. Regaining strength sufficient
she made a trip to Texas spending
the greater part of last winter in
Dallas. Finding the climate of Tex
as did not agree with her. about five
or six months ago returned to this
city to make it her permanent home.
She was taken sick almost immedi
ately on her return and for the past
four months has been confined to
her bed. Dr. Grant, of Pleasant
Hill, the family physician, was called
and did all in his power to cure
her. She was a most estimable lady
and made many warm friends during
her residence in this city. She
leaves three daughters to mourn
their loss. The funeral services took
place from the family residence on
South Main Street, Tuesday at 2
o'clock conducted by Rev. Ashley, of
the M. E. church.
Wah Kee, a Chiuese laundrymau
of this city, was arraigned before
Esquire Cannon Thursday, charged
with carrying concealed weapons.
Pig-tail was passing Joe T. Smith's
livery stable when he was accosted
by Frank Morgan, who, without
provocation, began cursing and abus
ing him. The Chinaman, who had
taken Morgan's insults and abuse on
several other occasions, concluded to
put a stop to it and. it is said, pulled
his gun for the purpose of protecting
himself and Morgan took to his heels.
As to whether the celestial intended
to shoot Morgan or not. we have our
doubts. However, we do not justify
Wah Kee in carrying a pistol and do
not think he should be permitted to
d- so. as there are circumstances
under which he might be tempted to
use his weapon, or accidentally shot
some one. neither do we justify
grown men or boys aggravating him
in his peaceful walks. He gave a
substantial bond and will have his
trial to-dav.

H. Tuttle was called and pronounced
the ease unhopeful at the st;ut. and
Mr. Eliott. seeming to understand
the situation, preferred instant death
to the uutold sufferings he was
undergoing, and in the absence of
the nurse he procured a razor and
went out in the orchard about one
hundred yards from the house. He
then screamed aloud to Mr. Lewis
to come there quickly if he wished
to see him alive, as he was going to
commit suicide. Mr. Lewis hastened
there and found him lying on the
ground, with his throat cut from ear
to ear, the razor lying near him and
its victim wallowing in pool of blood
fast ebbing from the wound.
Drs. Tuttle and France were in
stantly summoned to the place and
pronounced the wound fatal, the
esophagus and thrachea Ining both
severed. The wound was stitched
up as best they could, and death
came to his relief within threehouis.
Mr. Eliott was a native of Virginia,
