SUICIDE AT PURCELL.
Family Troubles Prompts II. Haverlo to
Lnd His Life.
A ti Icplioric message in the
v Democrat frotu Lexington Tues-
day gave toe particulars of the
suicide of II. Haverlo, a switchman
in the employ of the Santa F« rail-
way- '1 he deed was committed at
o'clock Monday afternoon at a
house of ill repute. The weapon
used' was a 38-calibre hull dog.
I he bullet entered the left side ol
the neck and caine out of the right
ear.
Haverlo was a member of the A
O. U. W., in which order he car
ried a $'-',000 policy in favor of his
son, Clarence, and also of the B
of K. I., in which order he had a
policy of $400 in favor of his sister,
Miss Goforth.
Haverlo about six months ago
married a well known woman
about Purcell, known as "Tex."
Ever since their marriage trouble
haS occured and recently the wo-
man iftitutcd divorce proceedings
against him employing Attorney
Carey Holmes to prosecute the
case, [t is claimed that he
formed his wife if she did not with-
draw her suit for divorce, he would
kill himself.
Later: The Democrat's Lexing-
ton correspondent telephones that
there is suspicion of foul play at-
tached to the case. A bottle of
carbolic acid and a razor were
found near the body. The fact
that there was an absence of powd-
er burns gives ground for the fears
of foul play.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon.
COMPROMISED FOR $1250.00.
\oung Jay Wails Wins His Suit Against
tlis Santa Fe kailway.
Last April a number of youths
were horseback riding near thi
city, and while riding along the
railroad track were passed by
Santa Fe freight train. The e
gineer thinking he saw room for
joke, gave several shrill blasts of
the whistle to scare the horses. One
horse ridden by Jay Wails, the
eleven year-old son of J. C. Wail*
of Norman, became unmanageable
and threw its rider to the ground
The fall was so hard that young
Wails'arm was broken and the el-
bow driven into the ground.
i he fact that the boys were not
on railroad property at the time of
the accident, gav • grounds for a suit
tor damages. The case was to have
been called at the last term of court
but a continuance was given on re
quest of the railroad company,
Monday the Santa Fe offered
compromise, and the figure, finally
agreed upon was $1250.00. Young
Wails will be a cripple for life.

I ForBlOOd Poison.
And I Cure Every Case Undertaken.
M, J. Jobe, a salesman with Ed
Anthony it Co., was arrested Tues
lay by Chief .Mayes on a charge ol
murder in the tirst degree, the crime
having been committed at Denison
Texas, last October. Jobe has bee
n Norman onl) a short time, and
I first class salesman and trustwor
thy young man. His arrest was
1 uite a surprise to his friends
Norman. When seen by a Dkmo
hat reporter Tuesday afternoon
and asked for a statement, he said
Yes, it is true that I am und
urtest charged with murder in th
rst degree, I do not deny the
barge, but am surprised at ray
est, as I gave myself up to the au
hurities when the deed was com
nutted, and waited three weeks fi
the grand jury to find an indictment
igaiust me. They failed to indict
and when 1 had a position
fferetl me in Oklahoma the sheiitf
ind prosecuting attorney both told
me to go, and if they should ever
need me they would.send for me.'
When asked to relate the panic-
ars of the killing, he said:
"Last October I was hired by the
county to guard some small pox
itienis who were confined in the
•st house. The sheiiff armed me
d cautioned me about a negro
hoin I was to guard. 'lie is a d;i
gerous man and you may have to kill
' im,'said he. All went well l<-r
veral days, when this negro took
into his head to go to town. Of
course 1 refused to allow hiin to
leave, and he made some threats
The next day I was informed that
he formed a plan to kill me with au
ax when I brought their coffee
However, he failed to use the ax,
but made a rush at me with
butcher kuife. I called to him to
stop, but be kept on advancing. I
then fired at hiiu with my pistol, but
missed him. lie continued to come
at me, and I then gave him the fatal
shot. I then went to town and sur-
rendered, but was immediately re-
leased, as no one seemed to blame
me for acting in self defense."
Mr. Jobe then showed the Demo-
chat representative a sworn state-
ment from the wife of the dead ne-
gro. The woman says she saw her
husband running at Jobe with a
knife, and concludes by saying Jobe
was justified in killing him. and
further, that she would lake no act-
ion against Jobe whatever.
Another sworn statement was
from a man who was contiued in the
pest house at the time of the
murder. It was this man who in-
formed Jobe of the threat tha negro
had made to kill him with au ax.
J'he statement was to that effect.
Mr. Jobe hopes to give bond im-
mediately on his return to Denison,
and resume his duties here.
"I feel satisfied that I will be
vindicated," said he, "but it will
cost me considerable money and a
lot of annoyance. I have the confi-
dence of my home people and do not
fear any bad results. 1 am at a lo<«8
to know why 1 was not indicted at
the timv of the crime, as I waited
until after the grand jury adjourned
before I left Texas."
Jobe has a number of spleudid
letters of recommendations from
Oklahoma City business men. and
seems to be a worthy young man,
the victim of a very unfortunate
occurrence.

L. Dcunic of Kansas Citj hays A
Smooth Racket Successfully.
Sunday January 14th, a nice ap-
pearing gentleman of smooth ad-
drei-s and smoother tongue arrived
in Norman and registered at Hotel
Agnes in "L. Dennie, Kansas
City." By his agreeable manners
he soon became acquaint'd with a
number of Norman people whom
he told his visit in Norman was to
procure a local represen&iive of an
Indianapolis Investment Co. Kor
over u week he was a familiar figure
on the streets and around Hotel
Agnes. Saturday evening Mi
Lizzie Moore Manager of the
Hotel Agues received a notice
from I Intel Love at Purcell to look
out for L. Dennis as he had left
Purcell under the cover of dark-
ness leaving a hotel bill of $M2.80
as a memento of his pleasant stay
in Purcell. Miss Moore, however
legrt-tted to ask him to pay up his
bill and let the matter drop. Sun-
day Dennis informed Miss Moore
of his intention to leave the follow-
ing day and tendered her some
new silverware as part payment of
his bill of ♦16.00. The offer was
refused. Sunday night M
Moore gr</w suspicious and hail the
rear hall door locked securely so
her suspected gin-st could not leave
the building without passing
through the hotel office. Monda
morning this hall door was found
open. A knock on the door of
Minie's room brought no response
lid when the door whs opened by
means of a skeleton key, all that
resembled "Mr." Dennie was
dummy constructed of bed clothes
which resulted peacefully on the
bed.
A letter written on a Guthrie
Hotel letter head was received
from Dennie 1'uesday asking fur
trttement of his indebtedness.
Miss Moore went to Guthrie and
here discovered that the letter
bend was one ol a nnmber stolen
from the hot**! over a year ago,
Should Dennie ever come to Nor-

Some lime ago the federal quar-
