On Wednesday morning of last
week, Mrs. Oscar Addison, who
lives near Eulogy on Hill creek,
committed suicide. She had been
in bad health for several years
and had been confined to her bed
most of the time. She had secur-
ed a bottle of carbolic acid, and
about 8 o'clock swallowed a large
quantity of the poison and fell
back on the bed, saying she was

Last Saturday night between
i o’clock and day a thief entered
the house of of Ed McKisick and
engaged in a general pickpocket
business. t
He entered Mr. McKisick’s
room where he was sleeping and
took his pants out in the yard
and went through the pockets,
but to his surprise, found nothing
but a small pen knife and a pair
of cuff buttons.
He then entered the room where
Mrs. J. E. Claybrook and four
children who were visiting the
family were sleeping and finding
her valise took it into the yard
and took from it $3.75 cash and
a gold breast pin, leaving the
valise in the yard and the pocket
book that contained the money
just outside the yard.
Not being satisfied he next en-
tered the room generally occupied
by Julius McKisick, but he being
absent, the thief went through
the pockets of all the pants he
could find, leaving the pants on
the floor with the pockets turned
inside out. Finding nothing he
made his escape.
Julius says the only wonder is
that the thief did not steal his
father’s pistol from under his
pillow.
Who he was is yet unknown,
but if he comes your way catch
him.

MERIDIAN, - TEXAS.
New York, Aug. 12.—John A.
Lomax, of Austin, Tex., boarded
a Chambers street car at Broad-
way last evening and sat beside,
a powerfully built man, who was
reading a newspaper. As the
car was nearing West Broadway
the Texan felt a slight tug at his
hip pocket and placing his hand
there found that his leather bill
holder containing $110 in cash and
three drafts for $50 each were
missing. Mr. Lomax grabbed
the young man and demanded his
money, but was knocked down.
Lomax regaining feet again at-
tacked the pickpocket and a hot
fight ensued, the conductor taking
a hand, but a stunning blow on
the jaw sent him to the floor of
the car. Policeman Burke of the
city hall was then called. The
Texan and the pickpocket had
struggled out on the rear plat-
form and when the thief got a
glimpse of the officer he wrenched
his right hand free and seizing the
bill book from his pocket threw it
into the street. The thief attack-
ed the officer, but Burke drew his
pocket stick and soon conquered
him. He was taken to the Leon-
ard street station. He stated he
was William Conley, 23 years old,
a clerk.

will close our books and sell for

sired.
On last Friday night, at the
store of W. H. Mayfield in Wal-
nut Springs, while some men were
unloading ice, Mal Hill, son of
B. C. Hill, who was working for
Mayfield was fooling with his
pistol which had just been repair-
ed and it was accidently fired, the
ball taking effect in the body of a
man by the name of Kirse who
was helping to unload the ice,
i and instantly killed him. Mr.
Kirse was 45 years old and had a
family. Young Hill was 22years
old.
It was purely accidental. They
were both good friends. It was
truly a heart rending scene, and
the affair has almost killed young
Hill with grief.
Young Hill and the family of
the deceased, both have the sym-
pathy of the TRIBUNE in this sad
catastrophe.

Last Sunday evening Dick Mar-
tin met with what came near
being a serious accident. Hewas
riding at rather a rapid gait in an
attempt to head off a cow when
his horse stumbled and fell. He
was thrown several feet over his
horse’s head lighting on his head
and shoulders. He was uncon-
scious for some time but by vig-
orous rubbing he soon came around
all right and was able to be up
and around the next day.

had a little difficulty one night
this week in one of the saloons.
The trouble arose over a little

suit Welch and the result was
