FATAL ENDING TO A PLAY. The Heroine Accidently|Stabs the Hero Through the Heart. San Francisco, Jan. 1.—The old} year was closed last night by a unique but terrible tragedy by which Siduey McCoy a young lawyer aged 33, lost his life and Miss Grace King, aged 19 ig in an unconscious condition A party of about 50 friends gathered last night at MeCoy house on Guerrero street to watch the old year out and the new yearin The feature of the entertainment was the production of a short play writ- ten by McCoy and performed by amateurs. The plot of the play was the betrayal of a band of Russian nihilists by one of their number. The nihilists discover the traitor and condemn her todeath. They decide by lot who shall preform the execu tion and the number fell to the char acter portrayed by McCoy. The young lady is given the choice of being killed or stabbing herself, and chose the latter alternative. McCoy handed her a stout dagger which had been in his family for many years. In the play instead of killing herself, she was to stab the executioner, as Miss King received the knife she reached forward to touch McCoy on the breast with the blade. At the same instant McCoy started toward her, when she stum bled, and, falling forward with the dagger in her hand, droveit through McCoy’s heart. McCoy showed wonderful vitality and presence of mind. He walked into another room and asked for a doctor and fell back dead. The girl knew there had been an accident but did not know McCoy was dead. She was taken home and afterward on advice of friends gave herself up to the police. She was taken to the city prison at 3 o'clock in the morn ing and when she entered the prison fainted and has since remained ur conscious. This morning McCoy’s two brothers secured her release by giving bonds of $10,000 for her ap- pearance. The girl was then tuken home and is in a critical condition. The accident is explained by the fact that Miss King suffered from a sprained ankle receutly and she had been using crutches to walk with but had laid them aside to practice in the play. As she made a motion to stab McCoy she rested her weight on the weak foot, it gave way and she fell forward. Will yeu sutter with dyspepsia and liv- er complaint?

Fort Scott, Kan., Jan. 4.—This city was last night visited by a band of robbers and thugs which operat- ed with exceptional success in differ ent localities. S.L. Blake, a farmer was dangerously assaulted and rob- bed in an alley; W. J. Minick of Jerico Mo., was drugged, robbed, and left in a lumber yard just outside of the city, where he was almost frozen before recovering conscious- ness; the store of Lotterer and Hahn was enterd and robbed of a lot of valueable jewelry and C. E. Holden’s house was broken into and robbed of money and other valuables. That hacking cough can be so quickly cured by Shilo’s Cure. We guarantee it. Sold at H. L. Tucker's Prescription Diugstore. San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 5.—Neith- er the Mexican Consul nor General Wheaton, commander of the depart- ment of Texas, has received any news of importance from the border for a week past. Nothing has been seen of the bandits since they cross- ed into Mexico at Lopena, in Zapa- ta county, 10 days ago, when they were fired upon by the Mexican troops. Since the Aroerican side has been patrolled by 890 men, in- cluding nine troops of the seventy third cavalry and six companies of the eighteenth and twenty-third in- fantry, distributed as important} points.

A Piain Statement of Facts Re-| garding Sni Hills Devel- opments. K. C. Tisses A. J. Adair of Oak Grove, who was! in the city yesterday, declared to & reporter of the Times that there} was no longer any doubt as to wheth-j er valuable meta! could be fonnd in the Sni hills four miles south of Oak| Grove in the eastern part of Jackson | county. He had with him a piece of |* metal taken from the hills. It resem} bled copper and was very heavy but was a deeper yellow than that metal, | being almost the color of gold. He| had taken the sample to one of =e leading jewelers of this city who said | that it contained gold but he could not say in what quantity. For some time says Mr. Adair a small smelter on the claim belonging} to Grandpap Ford has been turning out bars of metal having the aprear- ance and weight of mixed gold and/ copper. The ore was obtained from the land of Mat Rich and D. M. Ford. A sample was sent to an ex- pert assayer at Cincinnati who pro-| nounced 134 per cent gold 20 per cent silver and the rest copper. This however did not satisfy the community and it was finally agreed that a committee of four reliable men should be selected to make a test of the ore. Accordingly Nathan Hunt Jobn Brown Wm. Harmon and J. Faulkenverry were selected for the'trial. The ore was to be obtain- ed from Ford’s forty acres wherever the committee wanted to dig. It appears that before the ore is smelt- ed it is essential to wash or dry it out This was done, each of the commit teemen digging at different points and taking it to his own house and drying it “Last Thursday morning about 75 of the best citizens of eastern Jack- son county gathered to witness the run. About twelve pounds of the ore, which was obtained from a rock resembling soapstone and which is found in the gulches near the surface was placed in a crucible and heated over a charcoal fire two hours. When removed from the furnace sev- en ounces of bullion the color of gold were removed. This satisfied the committee and the general public that valueable metal in large quantities existed in the neighborhood. Since that time a@ pumber of Oak Grove capitalists have visited the place with a view of | leasing the land from Rich and Ford but without avail, the owners declar- ed there was millions of dollars un- der their farms and refusing to have anything to do with outside capital Notwithstanding this, the business men of Oak Grove propose to lease | the land and go to work in a short time. If the metal is only copper in such large quantities it can not fail to be| [A WIDOW'S WOEFUL wrones.! ' She Had no Sense and He Had no Con- i science.

A week ago “Grannison” requested Mrs. Barlow tomeet him in St. Louis at the | Union depot on Wednesday morn ing, Dee 28, and they would then jget married. When she stepped from the train she was to wear a black dress with a red piece of rib- bon around her neck and a brown leather belt around her waist, and a black hat with red and green feath- ers. She wasto know him by a black Prince Albert suit, with small white, yellow and red rosebuds in the lapel of his coat. Mre. Brrlow went to the city, ar- | jriving here on the morning agreed, and met Grannison. He at once took her toa downtown restaurant, where they had breakfast. In the afternoon the two went to the mati- nee. At the close of the performance Grannison promised Mrs. Barlow to marry her the next morning. Under that condition of affairs she went with him to Hotel Emory, a ques- tionable resort on Locust street, where they registered as man and wife and spent the night together. Early the next morning Mrs. Barlow was aroused from her sleep by Gran- nison. He showed her a check, probably worthless, drawn in favor of Allen Grannison on the Boatmen’s Bank by the Meyer Diug company, and called for $133.30. He stated that he had no money and could not get the check cashed till in the after- noon. If Mrs. Barlow would let him have what money she had he would go out and have two breakfasts sent to the roum, ard also go to the court house and procure a marriage license {and on his way back would purchase a few trinkets. He then presented Mrs. Barlow with what appeared to be a valuable gold ring with a dia- mond valued at $250 Mrs. Barlow had only $18 left, but she turned the money over to him. He left the room and has not been |seen or heard of since. After waiting six hours for the man co return Mrs. Barlow left the | hotel in search of him. She called at the court house only to learn that he had not applied for a license “| there, and that a license could not | be issued to a man unless the woman he was to marry was with him. The | balance of the day she strolled about lhe city searching for the man. Tc raise money she pawned a gold watch and necklace, a ring and sev- a bonanza to Kansas City and Jack son county.
