RHEUMATISM.
When pains or irritation exist on any

House, El Reno, O. T., wiites, luue 6,
1902: "1 take pleasure in recommending
Bollard's Snow Liniment to all who are
afflicted with rheumatism. It is the only
remedy I have fouud that'gives immedi-
ate relief." 25c, 50, Sold by Owl
drug store.
Proper Tobacco.
The News in indebted to P. e. Noll,
the veteran cigar manufacturer, for an
interesting booklet published by A. Hus
sey & Co., one of the largest packers and
importers of leaf tobacco in the United
States, having salesrooms and ware-
houses in St. I.ouis, Chicago and New
York with a branch house in Havana.
The descriptive matter pertaining to
tobacco and requirements in soil and
climate conditions, the proper methods
of curing and packing leaf tobacco to
produce good cigar leaf is the most com
prehensive treatise the writer has evt r
read. The immense popularity of Mr.
Noll's new cijjar, Jo Ko, is ample proof
of that gentlemen's judgement in select-
ing stock for high grade cigars. Mr.
Noll has been dubbed the prince of cigar
men, a progressive, public spirited friend
of Shawnee and its home industries.

this to be a tact. For sale by Owl and

KILLS AND IS
Iiloody Record of Ike Kinney, Who
Does Some Shooting,
SLAVS TWO PERSONS.
Probably Fatally Wounds a Couple
of Other*, Seriously Injure* Some
More and His Soul Sent
Into Eternity*
Little Rock, Aug. 5.—A special to th*
Arkansas Gazette from Lewisville, Ark-
Kays: After killing two persons, seri-
ously, and may be fatally, shooting two
others, one a woman, and less seriously
shooting two more, Ike Kinney, a des-
perate and murderous negro, was killed
in a river bottom at Doella, six miles
south of Lewisville Thursday after a
hot fl'jht with a posse of citizens that
had run him to earth and surrounded
him. His bloody record is:
Aug. 2 (morning), killed a negro at
Stamps.
Aug. 2 (afternoon), killed E. B. Fer-
guson. claim agent of the Louisiana
and Arkansas railroad, member of h
posse, three miles from Stamps.
Aug. 3 (morning), seriously shot Mrs
Stewart of Greensburg, Tex., and seri-
ously wounded her husband.
Aug. 3 (noon), shot Alvln Barham
througn the neck and shot a finger olf
one of C. F. Hash's hands.
Kinney, who had killed a negro at
Stamps on Wednesday, fled, and while
being pursued by a posse shot E. It.
Ferguson. This raised the feeling to
white heat, but to cap the bloody cli-
max It was learned that a man named
Stewart and his wife, from Greenburg,
Tex., had been shot by Kinney at 3
o'clock Thursday morning. Without
a word of warning the negro opened
with his Winchester, tiring four shots,
and shooting Mrs. Stewart through the
breast and her husband through the
side. After shooting Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart, the negro told them that he
thought they were members of a posse
and assured them that he was very
sorry he had fired on them.
Thursday morning about twenty-five
men with dogs started out In Kinney's
trail. They got a first clue from
m..n on a river farm south of this
city, who told them that a negro had
come to his house that morning and
asked for a drink of water and to be
taken across Red river. A few mem
bers of the searching party finally lo-
cated Kinney in a bottom near Doella,
which is a plantation postoffloe. Word
was at once sent to Lewisville and a
posses started shortly before noon on
a special train furnished by the Cotton
Belt road for the scene of the expected
battle.
As soon as the posse arrived and be
gnu to close In on the negro he opened
fi^e. C. F. Nash lost a finger. Alfred
Tlarnham was shot through the neck
and seriously wounded. Then W.
Nash put a bullet In the negro and
tumbled him over dead. The posse and
the body of the negro were brought
back to Stamps on the special train
Fifteen hundred dollars had been
hung up for the capture of Kinney dead
or alive. The Bodcaw Lumber com-
pany offered $r 00 of this amount.

Second Disastrous Fire.
Waco, Aug. 5.—The Cooper Grocery
company's establishment was nearly
destroyed by fire Thursday night, the
loss being probably over $90,000. The
establishment burned June 2f last, with
an adjusted loss of over $70,000.
Alleged Assault on Stepsister.
Terrell. Tex.. Aug. 5.—Will Jasper, a
negro, was arrested in this city
charged with criminal assault on his
stepsister, Mabel Jasper, thirteen years
old.
SOLVED BY LETTERS
Photograph Represents Also Perfectly
the Body Being Held.
Ashevllle. N. C.. Aug. 5.—Two letters
and a photograph, received from Fort
Worth, Tex., seem to prove that the
body of an Englishman, which has laid
unidentified in a receiving vault in this
city for nine months, is that of a man
who claimed to be Lord Douglas, but
who was in fact known to the police
of Fort Worth as a bigamist. The pho
tograph and the description accom
panylng it fit the body here perfectly
so far as can be ascertained by a short
examination.
The letters, which are from Mrs. B
E. A. Douglas of Fort Worth to the
chief of police here, and from Mrs.
Louisiana Douglas of Lamberts Point.
Va., to Mrs. Douglas of Texas, contain
evidence of the statement that Douglas
was married to at least four women
the two Mrs. Douglases known at pres-
ent ani the women In California and
Denver, from whom the former wife
has heard. All of the women claim,
according to the letters, to have been
deserted shortly after marriage, and
Mrs. B. E. A. Douglas declares that
Douglas robbed her of all her money
and Jewelry.
