Capt. H. P. Nickell was in the city Monday and informed us that litical aspirations or not. Capt. Gorrell and S. L. Coleman, of Deepwater township, were in the city Monday and gave us a pleasant call. Mr. Coleman said that Satur- day night, about 8 o'clock, a strange dog, evideutly suffering from hydro- phobia, came upon his porch and at- tempted to enter the door, which was slightly ajar. Before he could enter, however, he had a fit, and Mr. C. hastily closed and latched the door. The dog then made frantic efforts to get in the bouse by jump- ing up in the windows, biting the sash, and biting and scratching the door. Mr. C. said he could easily have killed him if he had possessed a pistol or gun. After making sev eral circuits of the house the dog made off and was not seen after- wards. Irvin Gordon, a prominent young lawyer and acting mayor of Nevada and Sol Simon, a real estate agent ofthat city had a difficulty last week growing out of the late city election muddle in which Gordon shot Si mon in the shoulder. The wound is not dangerous and_ the ball was cut out by Dr. Wilson shortly after the shooting. The Nevada Mail says: tragedy near Rich Hill Saturday night in which Ed. Boiand, a negro, shot and killed his wife. The cause of the tragedy was jealousy. Some time ago the woman had Boland ar- rested for beating her. For this offense he was convicted and had to lay out his fine in the county jail. He was released a week ago Satur- day. It is understood that he made threats that he would kill his wife and a negro man whom he accused of being intimate with her. The woman was afraid of him and went to an old negro’s cabin, 5 miles east of Rich Hill. on the Marias Des Cygnes river. Here Boland found her a few days ago and they appar- | Sat- | urday night the old negro man and | ently settled their differences. his wife had gone to bed, as had the children.
