An infamous Scoundrel. J. A. Endicott who formerly taught school in the eastern part of the county, has proved himself to! be one of the grandest rascals of the | day, and is now hiding to escape the vengeance of a wronged woman. In his school were a number of young ladies, one of whom he seemed to take special interestin, and by means of his wiles and a promise to marry her, succeded in ruining her. As soon as it became apparent that his villiany would come to light he left this county. He wrote to the girl acknowledging his guilt, and prom- ised to marry her, and do all he could to atone for his meanness, but failed to make his promise good. A | few days ago the young lady heard Endicott was at Webb City, and j arming herself with a revolver, went there. Fortunately she met him, and fired every shot in the pistol at him, slightly wounding him, but un- fortunately failed to get in a fatal shot. The lady is of an excellent family, and well educated, but it is the same old stcry of woman’s con- —Patrick—‘“‘It’s mighty quare how things do run in a fam'ly sometimes, Mike.” Michael—‘“‘Yis, it’s so Pat.

London, Aug. 4.—Advices from Athens announce a disastrous fire upon the celebrated Mount Athos, the holy mountain of the Greek church. The fire has destroyed the largest part of its wonderful forests. Of the twenty Greek monasteries which have been located upon ‘the mountain for centuries, most have been completely destroyed. The damage is estimated at 5,000,000 franes. Twenty monks and hermits per- ished in the flames. Two full Moons in a Month. Two full moons in July seem to have astonished some people. Why? The “Phenomenon,” as it is called happens about once iu three years, in fact as the first full moon falls on the first or second, or early on the third day of a thirty-one-day month. This occurred, for instance, in De- cember, 1876, August, 1879, July, 1882, December, 1884, aud October. 1887. . Oklahoma Goes Democrtic.
