Dr. Sheridan is Dead.
The remains of Dr. Sheridan
were brought , back from from
Kansas City Tuesday morning1
and burried Tuesday afternoon
in the Broken Bow cemetery.
His funeral was conducted in the |
M. E. church Tuesday afternoon
at 3 o'clock , Rev. Thompson of
ficiating1.
The Dr. and his'wife went to
Kansas City Saturday evening
when he was supposed to be in
his usual health. Sunday after
noon he went to see his sister
who had a little girl of his by his
former wife.
They ieturned''fo Kansas City
in the evening. It'"is reported
s - that before * retiring he took a
dose of morphine so he could
sleep as he frequently had done
before. Whether it was suicidal
intent or an over dose by accident
it will probably never be known.
Some time in the night his wife
tired to wake him and not being
able called a doctor but he could
not be aroused and he died about
midnight.

of the murder of his wifo's father
Col. Thomas Swope whom he
murdered last October.
Mrs , Logan A. Swope , mother-

new trial and if refused he will
then appeal the case by law.
Dr. Wilson Arrested.

in Broken Bow for several
months practicing his profession ,
was arrested last Friday on the
charge of violating the state
law , which prohibits the practice
of medicine by any one who does

State Board of. Examiners. It is
claimed that the complaint was
filed with County Attorney Gadd
by the State Medical Board who
issued the summons and caused
the arrest.

County Judge Holcomb who put
the doctor under bonds of $200
and continued the case for a pre

The attorneys for the prose
cution are N. T. Gadd and'H. M.

The Gypsies Got in Some Fine Work.
L. B ; Cr'atnerT rietfr sixty years
of age who with his wife depend
upon the day's lobor for their
support , visited a Gipsey camp
Monday tnat had just arrived and
was induced to have his fortune
told. The price agreed upon was
ten cents which Mr. Cramer
readily paid : ' When he got
home he related his experience
and the small price it cost to
learn of the road of prosperity
thrt lay before him. Mr. Cramer
being of .rather suspicous turn of
mind knowing he had $45 in bills
with him suggested he had better
count his money and see what it
had really cost tiim. To his sur
prise he was $20 short of what
he had when he paid the Gipsy ,
He at once retraced his steps
and secured the assistance of- the
police andmade a search for the
missing currency but failed to
get it.
The orentals were instructed
to move on to other fields and
Mr. Cramer remains to meditate
upon how it was done.
