' i Sunday morning between ten and | eleven o'clock this community was | again shocked with the announce- | ment that another terrible and fatal | other soul had been ushered into eternity without a moment's warn- The unfortunate victim being | lander Morgan, aged about 18 years. | The unfortunate affair happened at the residence in the east part of the city, and was the result of the careless handling of a breech loading single barrel Winchester shot gun in the hands of Wright Morgan, a} young man about 20 years of age. A large crowd soon gathered at the ina pool of blood with distorted features,presented a sickening sight. Wright, the young man who did the shooting was found in the yard and in answer to the reporter's ques- tions said:I have a Winchester breech loading shot gun of peculiar make and was bringing it out ef the house er who were sitting at the front door. I had the gun under my arm and think I had my hand over the hammer, and in passing through the room met Miss Morgan, but just how the gun was discharged I am not able to say. The gun was very easy on trigger and I believe was cocked, but not certain. The charge of shot struck the girl just behind the right ear and came out at the mouth, tearing her teeth and upper and lower lips away, making a frightful wound. With- outa word the victim fell to the floor and died almost instantly. Miss Morgan was a poor girl and had been working about town asa domestic and being out of work was stopping at the home of Ed Morgan, a friend of the same name, am ny and peace. Under orders from Judge Sam Levy, bridge commissioner Catterlin nailed up the ends of the Marais Des Cygne bridge at Cornland Tues- day, and no more travel will be per- mitted to cross until it is fixed. Judges Sullens and Levy viewed the bridge Friday and Levy informs us that the same was ina very unsafe condition, so much so that the above step was deemed necessary to prevent an accident. Judge Booker Powell, while in the city Monday informed us that the wheat crop throughout his neighborhood, which is much larger than last year is looking fine since the recent rains. The Judge has between 30 and 40 acres and the prospect for a good yield is very flattering. If the present prices hold out there will be money in wheat next spring. The young gentlemen of Butler have organized a malitia company under the malitia state laws, and elected the following officers: Har- vey Clark, Captain; Frank Gardener 1st Lieutenant; and Arthur L. Lud- wick, 2nd Lieutenant. Between 45 and 50 names were enrolled. After they are thoroughly organized the Ties will publish a full list of the names. We understand they will be mustered in to-night by Col: Jas. L. Pace aid de camp to Governor Morehouse. We understand that deputy U. S. marshal Willis arrested FM. Trimble and W. M. Mills, druggists at Foster, for selling intoxicating liquors with- out government license. They were bound over by U. S. commissioner to appear at the next term of Feder- al court.

Martin V. Owsgn, L. C. Haccarp, Execators. In a Dangerous Cendition. The south approach to the large iron bridge that spans the Marias Des Cygne at Cornland which has been condemned for several months by the bridge commussioner, is get- ting ina very dangerous condition and we understand within the last few days has become absolutely un- safe for travel over it. We are in- formed that teamsters hauling coal or crossing the bridge from necessi- ty will no longer ride across on their wagons, and either unhitch their teams and pull their wagons across by hand or let the horses draw the wagon unattended. As this bridge is midway between this city and Rich Hill, and perhaps is used more than any other bridge in the county it becomes the imper- ative duty of the county court to look after its condition without further delay and have the commis- sioner make the necessary repairs before an accident which may cause the loss of a human life occurs. In addition to the above,the wood- en bridge across Mound branch, southeast of the city, has long been condemned bythe commissioner and is also in a dangerous condition and unsafe for travel over it. The coun- ty court should also look after this bridge and have the same repaired before it goes into the creek.
