Nevada, Missouri.—a forced, mar-
riage 12 years ago has now ended in
the murder of Mrs. C. C. Allison and
the suicide of her husband, at their
home near Walker, Mo. Five small
children are left orphans by the
tragedy.
A quarrel, the last of a series or
disagreements strung out over their
married life, led up to the murder
and suicide. It was the question of
whether a fire should or should not
be built. Allison desired to build
fire in the grate. Mrs. Allison said
he should not and said ir he built it
she would leave him.
Allison started to built the fire in
the grate and Mrs. Allison left the
house and ran toward the home of
a neighbor. Allison ran after her,
caught her and dragged her back to
the house. There was a struggle and
Allison snatched up a revolver and
sent a bullet into his wife's temple.
Then, in the effort to end his own life,
he fired three bullets into his own
head.
The children ran crying to the
home of neighbors and told them of
the tragedy. When neighbors arrived
both Mrs. Allison and her husband
still were alive. She died within an
hour, however, and her husband died
several hours later.
Allison and Mrs. Allison were mem-
bers of families widely known in
Walker. Much of the trouble be-
tween them, it is said there, was due
to attempts of Allison's relatives to
persuade him to leave the woman
he was forced to marry. Apparently,
however, he loved bis wife, but their
frequent quarrels, because of outside
interference, unbalanced him and led
up to the tragedy.

ty, and William Broderick, another

Leayenworth, Xan.—Brewers’ ag-
ents and other liquor dealers of Still-

withstanding that a recent decision
of the state supreme court declared
their wagons a nuisance.
The interstate commerce law per-
mits of common carriers to transact
an interstate business. Therefore, the
liquor men have organized a transfer
company which will be incorporated
soon. Wagons carrying cases of beer
and other liquors now generally are
found to contain other freight, usually
in the form of bags of sand or saw-
dust. Additional horses sr^ neces-
say to haul the excess loads, but the
liquor men are smiling..
GENERAL REYES IS ARRESTED
Ten Other Revolutionists Taken on
Texas Soil and Ammuni-
tion Confiscated.
San Antonio, Tex.—Gen. Bernardo
Reyes of Mexico, who is alleged to
have been leading a movement for the
overthrow of President Madero. was
arrested here by United States officers
on an indictment returned at l^aredo,
charging him with violation of the
neutrality laws.
Following the arrest of General
Reyes, ten others were arrested on
the Mexican side of the border. Four
cases of ammunition were seized.
In speaking of his arrest General
Reyes said:
“I consider it persecution, and the
animus is not hard to find.
"If for no other reason than that
my arrest will clarify my situation,
I am glad it has come to pass. The
culmination of the efforts of my
enemies has come and I am ready to
meet any accusation."
It was reported from an authentic
source that General Reyes and his
friends drew $50,000 in cash from a
local bank and that they intended to
use the money for what was meant to
be their hasty departure from Mexico.
This departure is believed to have
been forestalled by the general's ar-
rest.

rence. «

writes:
“I had ca-
tarrh of the
stomach and
small intes-

years. I went
to a number
of doctors and
got no relief,
and f i n al 1 y
one of my
doctors gent
me to Chi-

met the sums

said they
could do noth-

a ai d I had
cancer of the
stomach and there was no cure. I al-
most thought the same, for my breath
was offensive and I could not eat any-
thing without great misery, and I grad-
ually grew' w'orse.
“Finally I concluded to try Peruna,
and I found relief and a cure for that
dreadful disease, catarrh. I took five
bottles of Peruna and two of Manalin,
and I now feel like a new man. There
is nothing better than Peruna, and I
keep a bottle of it in my house all tin
time/*

month ago by Dr. McKnight. Olsen's
horses have all been killed and
burned by the county authorities af-
ter tests showed that they had
glanders. Olsen has been in a dan-
gerous condition for several months.

tacked by a terrible disease, declared

able. Since the quarantine, Olsen's

kept under guard. The wife and chil-
dren will be released as soon as
