Ho denied that ho was criminally iutuimto with Mrs. Hade , anil explained his presence in her room by saying that the roof of Ids leaked , anil she uilvisod htm to cluinec. Voi-slou. These statements were denied bvCltyMnr- ahnl CJoodwin , who arrested HaJo nnd brought bitu to the county jail. Mr. Good- ivIn said that McMannis wns a , hizy , Improvi dent indivldunl , who had lived off tbo Hade family for years. Hade is n hardworking man , but McMnmils put in his time playing cards In u saloon and occasionally trading horses. IIu would Uo n dny'3 work once In a while , but such things were rare.

" The lliml shot \vns fired when McMannis was only four feet away , and even the wad- dine entered the wound , wlileh was badly powder burned. The coroner was notified of the fatal termination of the shooting , and will hold an inquest as soon ns the county Ottornoy can urrango to bo present. Hade Is recovering from the pistol shot al though the US-calibre hall injured his nrm so badly that it was foarcd at one time that ho would lese it.

"Tno story h a long ono and of no great in terest to the public , though 1 wnut to say a few things. Nine years a o , when I lived in Morgan county , Illinois , this man worKcd on a farm near tlio ono that I rented. IIu fro- qucntlv came to our house , but for a Jong time 1 suspluloncd nothing wrong. .Af ter a few woolcs the neighbors be gan to talk about McMannis and my wlfo. I asked her about tlio stories and she dented being intimate with him. Every thing was pleasant for a time , but ono day I came into the house whoa T was least ex- pccthd and found McManuU and my wife locked in each other's embrace. I told then I could not stand such things and ordered McMannls out of the houso. f "Tho next spring I moved to Henderson , / 111 , , and had not boon there but a few weeks \vliea AlcMaunls arrived and spent most ol tbo summer at my house , never paylug a ccnl of board. Time and again , when I was work r- - ing In the field , niv wile would send the children awny nnd spend hours in the liouso with that man , The ncxl opting I had trouble with my wlfo nnd McMnnnis , who was in the house at the time , jumped up , throw a tea cup at mo and gave mo a torrimo whipping. Ho then wcnl * nwaynmll saw nothing of him until fall , when one day upon coming homo from the Held I Centered the , house and found him sitting with my wlfo on his lap. Of course ] protested , wucn McMannis Jumped up , soizoi an ax hnudlo and knocked modown. Shortlv aftcir that I moved nwar , and later settled at " - "Waterloo , hoping to get away from this man , but. it was of no use for I had not been tbero tut a few weeks when ho put in an appear- once and made my house his homo , much against my wishes. 'llio Imst I Sow. "Last of all , wo had another row over Twitching up the horse. My wife wanted to go to town , r.nd as I was sick , I said : 'BUI , J wish you would hitch up the horse.1 "In reply to this ho said : 'You cote U 1 ; I will uo nothing of the kind , and if you were not sick I would knock a bale of bay out of you.1 "This made mo mad and I drove him off the place , but not until bo hud knocked mo down and pounded mo so that I wasconilned to my bed for u week. "After this I had no trouble with him until n few ( lays bofora tbo shooting. I was work ing away from homo and whenever I re turned I found MoMamiis there. I ordered him nway and nearly orory time ho whipped \yinlamy wlfo looked on and seemed to enjoy it. ' The night of tbo shooting , about mid night , I started from the plnco where I was working and reached home at 1 o'clock iu the morning. After putting up my hone I wont to the kitchen 'door , opunoa It anil went to my wifo's room whorol found them both sleeping , though occupying sopa- rnlo bods. As 1 entered , Bill Jumped u j > and satd ; 'What ' the h 11 uro you doing liorol1 > 'I replied that I wanted * to sco what was go ing on and asked him why ho was sleeping iu that room. "Uo said , The roof of my room leaked and I came la hero. ' "I replied , 'this will not do,1 and as I sold this McManuls Jumped from his bed and eurtod towards mo with u revolver in bis band. I stopped back Into the kitchen , and picking up tny shot gun , wont towards tbu pod room. As I reached the door McMannis mot me with his revolver cocked and pointing towards the lloor. I thoughtho was " golug to shoot nnd to save my own life , raised my gun and 11 rod. Ho staggered and fell on tbo Dod , while I put away ttio guu and wont \VutorIoo where 7 surrendered myself to the authorities. "I am sorry I shot the man , but ho ruined my life and my family.

By if we are told , of every Fire , every Failure and every Railroad Wreck of mer chandise at least three weeks prior to their occurrence. Our talisman has also secured for us the imperial cutter of all th.e courts of Europe , . ( for we now stand in wjth all kings and queens ) who remodels every garment to suit the shapes , forms and -wislies of the most fastidious and best dressed citizen in this community. Thus it will be seen that we are in ADVANCE of all competitors. We are on the ground , tell them of their coming afflictions and tlius secure enormous stocks at about our own figures. By the aid of "a few congressmen , whom we control at Washington , we have made a contract with the government that enables us to man ufacture our own currency , which will be taken at par wherever pre- stented , with no cost to us except the printing. Thus it will be seen we have been enabled to distance all competitors. 7T And when it becomes necessary to improve our condition -we will write more truck like this. But experience is the best and only teacher ; that is a well established fact , and when houses who have been here scarcely a fortnight attempt to tell you that they can do things so much btter than we who have been h.ere over a tn.ird of a century , it sounds a ifttie eggs were trying to teach the chickens to cackle. nifj We say nothing of our advantages of owning our own "business b'iplding ' and the ground it stands upon. _ . . . In the meantime we snail be equal to all and second to none. You may rely on the best styles , the lowest prices , for all your wants in Men's Clothing , in Boy's Clothing , in Children's Clothing and all merchandise - ' chandise pertaining to our branch of business. .And , by the way , don't forget our 9Bc liat.
