Ocala, Fla, July 17.—With a can cer eating into his brain, Robert Jon es is now roaming the forests of Marion County like a wild man. Jones is a Georgian, who came here several months ago to be treated for cancer by a specialist. The dis ease was in an advanced stage, hav ing eaten the left side of the face and being near the eye. In spite of the treatmont the disease] continued to advance, and a few weeks ago reached the eye. Jones was then | told there was no hope for him, as | the cancer would reach the | brain. Last night at the hotel Jones be. gan tv act strangely. He ran into | ihe corridors shrieking. Then he | dashed out into the darkness and disappeared. He was pursued, but efforts to capture him have been in vain. Jones was seen to-day about | ten miles from here. He was almost nude, his clothing having been torn s00n | mumbling her frum him by briars and bushes. As soon as he saw his pursuers he dash- edinto the woods, shriekizg. Dr. | Brow® says the cancer has touched | Jones’ brain and crazed him and} that death will soon ensue. Jones was very reticent about his Georgia home, giving no post office address. | He seemed to be well supplied with money. Shot His Best Friend. Brazil, Ind., July 17.—This city is greatly wrought up over a proba- ble fatal shooting affray which oc- curred last night. Hon. George Knight, one of the best known law- yers in the State, while sitting in his home, thought he heard a noise in One of the upstairs rooms. A search Was mado, and a gate was heard to @hut on the outside. Mr. (Knight Saw a man disappearing in the dark- nese on the sidewalk. He shot at him and was horrified to find that he had fatally wounded his best triend, John Wehrie, County Clerk. Wehrie is still alive, but the bullet pierced his abdomen, and the physi- cians have little hope of his recovery. The change from two feet ef dust in the streets to three feet of water is too much for many Missou- ri tows and cities. Craig is the proud possessor of an attorney who secured a verdict of “not guilty” for a client who had confessed to the stealing. “Nothing Venture, Nothing Have.” Rev john Reed, Jr., ot Great Falls, Mon,, recommended Ely’s Cream Balm tome. I can emphasize his statement, “It is a positive cure for catarrh if used as directed.’,—Rev Francis W Poole, Pastor Central Pres. Church, Helena, Mon. It 1s the medicine above all others tor catarrh, and is worth its weight in gold I can use Ely’s Cream Balm with satety and it does all that is claimed tor it— B W Sperry, Hartford, Conn. q Was She Houston's Wife- South McAlester, I. T , July 17.— In a brush tepee on the banks of the Washita river lives Granny Houston, a hideously wrinkled old squaw, who claims to have been the wife of General Sam Houston, of Texas. Tribal tradition says Gran- ny Houston is over 100 years old, and she certainly looks it. Her skin is wrinkled by age until it looks like fire cracker potter's ware; her teeth are gone; her eyes are dim, and her head is covered with a thick coat of coarse white hair. The privations of a wild life have had full effect | upon whatever mental facuilties she once possessed, and while the mem- bers of the iribe revere her asa great medicine squaw, the casual observer sees in Granny Houston as she sits by her tepee in the sun, yagaries, nothing more, thana crazy old hag. And | there is evidence to show that in the days when Sam Houston, still a | young man, was cutting his name in | niche of fame in Texas, this now toothless, demented old squaw was beautiful and entelligent. She was plump, black eyed betwitching and young. Houston, in one of his forays, met and fell in love with her. It was a common thing in those days for a white man to fall in love with an Indian maiden and marry her, and Houston asked the squaws fath er, a Wichita chief, for the girl. With Indian avarice the old man fixed her value in blankets and trink. ets. The deal was closed and Hous. ton took his squaw to Texas, where they lived together for years. One day longing to rejoin her tribe be- came too strong to resist, and Mrs. Houston ran away from frontier civ lization to the tepees of the Wichi- tas. Houston never reciaimed her, and there she has been ever since, freezing, starving or feasting in turn with the rest of her tribe. El Paso Under Water. Denver, Cole., July 17.—A special to the Times from El Paso, Texas, gays: Twelve square miles in East El Paso are under water, causing $15- Q00 damage. Traffic over the South- ern Pacific has been entirely blocked for twenty-four hours. Evergreen Cemetery is entirely under the flood, which was the biggest ever known here. The freshet, however, which was caused by heavy rains in New Mexico, is } receding now. ~~ Remov: al.

Walker, of Des! | Moines, in this city by appointment | jon June 5, and was married to him | |on the same day in Kansas City, | 'Kan., has discovered that her hus- | | band is false and that she has been | the victim of most cruel deception. | Her husband has deserted her, and | worse still, he has taken her gold | | watch and $1,200 in money, leaving her more than 1,500 miles from home with only $10. Miss Mead and Dr. Walker met at lan eastern watering place in the summer of 1893. From a skort se quaintance sprung a correspondence which finally resulted in her leaving her home to marry him. On the day following the wedding in Kan sas City, Kas., Dr. and Mrs. Walker went to Hutchinson, Kas., to spend aweek. Returniog to Kansas City they took rooms at 2174 East 12th street until they could go to house- keeping, as the dcctor had concluded to engage in the practice of medi- cine there. Afew days later Dr. Walker told his wife he had been offered a fine practice by a Dr. Snell in this city for $1,200 cash, and he had decided to accept it. She gave him $600 and wrote te her sister in Connecticut for $600 more. The money arrived July 1, and on the morning of July 2, while Mrs. Walk- er was house hunting in Kansas City, Kas, the doctor carted his baggage off tothe union depot and left the city. When Mrs. Walker returned to their rooms she found a note from the doctor, which told her be had been called to Des Moines, Ia., to see his friend, the Rev. Dr. Marshall, of the First Presbyterian ehurch of that city. Dr. Walker had spoken of Dr. Marshall as his pastor, and she thought there was nothing wrong about his absence. He would return on Friday, July 6, he said, but when Friday came the doctor was still absent, and to this day nothing has been seen or heard of him. Mrs. Walker worried much over her husband’s absence. Finally she went to the Rev. James G. Dough- erty, the Kansas City, Kas., minister who performed the ceremony, with her troubles. Dr. Dougherty at once concluded that she had been the victim of an unconscionable scamp and began an investigation of the affair which has since confirm- ed this impression. Dr. Dougherty said to-day that Walker, or whoever he might be, had simply robbed Miss Mead of $3,100, a part of the money having been secured from her ostensibly to pay off a mortgage on his property in Des Moines. His {plan of operation had been so clev- erly contrived and so well executed as to suggest the possibility that he is a professional wrecker of hearts and fortunes. Dr. Dcugherty says Mrs. Walker is a well educated New England woman, who comes of a fine family. Her father, who died recently, was a prosperous farmer near Greenwich, and left a consider- able fortune, so that while she has been robbed of so much money, she is by no means penniless. Mrs. Walker is still im Kansas City, Kas., and although she has been advised to return to her former home, she is reluctant todo so. She feels her disgrace keenly, and if Dr. Dougher- ty can discover the whereabouts of Walker, he will be prosecuted. Miller, Neb, July 17.—Joseph Nickman of Pleanton last night shot his diyorced wife through the heart, shot a neighbor in the arm and then ran toa bush near by and cut his throat from ear to ear. He was temporarily insane from drink. State oF Onto, City oF ToLepo Ls Lucas County. Frank J] Cheney makes oath that he is the senior partner of the firm of F. J.
