Wedded.
A large number of friends and well-
wishers witnessed the marriage in
Woodmen hall on Wednesday night
September 12th, of Miss May Bond
and Mr. Gordan B. Alford.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. T. Bond, both deceased,
and is a young lady of many domestic
virtues. Since the death of her moth-
er she has been more than a sister
to the younger children of the house-
hold and right nobbly has he perform-
ed every filial duty to them. They
have been cared for in tenderness
and love and their minds and hearts
directed in proper chanels until-
like their kind and dutiful sister they
are sweet and amiable and general
favorites in all circles. A young lady
who can do what the bride has for
the younger members of the family
deserves the commendation of the
world and will prove a treasure in
the home of any man with a proper
appreciation of the good, the true
the beautiful.
The home of the groom is in Shaw-
nee, Okla., where he holds a lucra-
tive position and ia held in high es-
teem by his employers and a large
circle of friends. He is a nice ap-
pearing and pleasant looking gentle-
man and is certaily to be congrat-
ulated on the good judgment and high
degree of appreciation shown in the
selection of a life companion.
Mr. and Mrs. Alford will be at home
in Shawnee after September 20th.—

Nrman, Okla., Sept. 15.—All Cleve-
land county is excited today over a
tragedy which occurred nineteen miles
southeast of here early this morn-
ing.
James Snyder, a farmer, shot and
instantly killed himself and baby and
fatally Injured his wife so she will
not live till morning.
Snyder separated from his wife
about a week ago because he said she
had been receiving attentions from
another man but the truth of the af-
fair was that ho was extremely jeal-
ous of her.
Since his separation he has been
living here but last night he bought
a gun and ammunition, hired a livery
rig and hurriedly left town and
drove direct to where his wife was
staying. He found her at her moth-
er's where she had been staying since
his desertion.
Tying his team outside he entered

The the brother and mother who
were in the next room rushed Into
the room and tried to protect the
mother. The murderer rushed behind
his wife und used her as a shield and
from there he fired the third shot.
Then dragging the dying woman into
the yard he ended his own life. Medi-
cal assistance was at once summoned
to see if anything could be done for
the dying woman. They pronounced
the wound fatal but the last reports
are that she Is still alive.
The fact soon became known and
the sheriff and coroner left for the
scene at once.
This part of the country is famous
for its killings. It has only been six
weeks since M. D. Camp shot and

Estel out to a union service or mass meet-
ing was present last night In Wood-
land park at the prohibition masts
meeting. While many were not mem-
bers of the prohibition party, they felt
an interest in the meeting and listened
attentively. In spite of the fact, that
the militia were in camp on one side
and that it is difficult for such a large
number to get close to the speakers
and that it is particularly hard for even
a public speaker to raise his voice
sufficiently to be heard by so many
