C, July 9.—A 45-year-cld father of five children y terday at Sapphire Inn, near here, shot to death a pretty mountain girl who had spurned his attentions and then went to his home and killed himself. With _ characteristic deliberation, Charlie Bryson called the girl. 18-year- old Edna Hinkle, to the back door of the inn, where she was employed as a waitress, and fired six bullets into her body. She died instantly. Bryson then told friends to summon hearses for two bodies, went to his home nearby, sent his children away, and lay down on a couch. Drawing the same pistol he had used to kill the girl, he fired six bullets into his breast. On July 12 the B& 0 will offer a very much improved service to the WEST and SOUTHWEST 2 hours shorter | to CINCINNATI way.

There is a new naval note in some of | the blue and white toilettes seen re- | cently, and the alternative swallow-tail strles are equally smart.

Cows of the famous Val d'Herens fighting breed | were to do battle for the title of “Queen | of Queens.” These cows do fight, as is | well known, in their Alpine pastures, but they would not provide sport for a Swiss holiday. Clarice, the favorite, rubbed noses with the combatants instead of getting on her mettle, and the whole thing petered out as a social afternoon graze.

PARIS (N.AN.A)--The nucleus of a novel kind of Bohemia has come about through the persistence of a company of artists who five or six years ago adopted the slogan “Montmarire for the artists.” Their dream has been realized at last with the construction of a large build- only. The state lent them- money at a vary low interest and the city leased them land at bargain rates, and so the “Maison des Artistes” materialized. ‘There are four buildings, forming the four sides of a square.
