Two other children and his sister. Mrs.

Lazelle, of Bloomington, were at the table with him. His young wife entered, placed a revolver near his head and pulled the trigger. The bullet pierced his skull above the left ear, killing him instantly. Walking into her sleeping room and throwing herself on the bed, Mrs. Pingc shot herself through the breast.

The bullet missed her heart and after some weeks she recovered. Mrs. Ping's defense is emotional in sanity. She was Ping second wife, ana was only nineteen years old. A few weeks before the shooting she had lost a baby, and intense grief, her law- ers will contend, affected her mind.

Furthermore, they will attempt to show that the couple's married life was unhappy, because of the girl's jealousy. They will try toprove the jealousy well founded.

Parker Injured. A. J. Parker, a prominent farmer living northeast of Salem, fell from a wagon while out on the farm one day last week, aud was seriously injured. Mr.

Ambrose Story, an aged citizen residing west of Seymour, died suddenly last Friday morning of heart failure. He was seated in the rear room of U. G. Miller's saloon in Seymour, when the attack came upon him, and he expired before a physician could reach him. Deceased was seventy-six years of age and was a veteran of the Civil War.

He is survived by his widow, two sons innn-faa auu iijicl- uaugutciii. of this nature that has been filed in Jackson circuit court this fall. The parties in this suit all reside in Seymour, and the filing of the suit presents some interesting facts for marriage and divorce statistics. Joseph Stanfield, the plaintiff in the case, obtained a divorce from his wife at the last term of court on October 17th and on the same day was married to Mattie M. Little, making it the third marriage for each, both their previous marriages having been dissolved by divorce.

Within a week after Mr. Stanfield secured his divorce', Mrs. Stanfield was married to Charles Abell, defendant in the case, making this her second marriage and one divorce. This marriage was the sixth for Charles Abell, who lost two wives by death and his marriages to the other three were dissolved bv divorce. Judge Buskirk Retires From Bench.

Judge Thomas B. Buskirk's term as Judge of the 42rtd Judicial Circuit expired last Saturday. He has been oh th bench twelve years and in retiring has the good vll of the bar and the best wishes of the public in general. His record as Judge has been a good one and he has gained a wide reputation as a jurist. He was kind-hearted and sympathetic, but never allowed anything to interfere with his decisions.

His object was to give justice to the high and the low, the rich and the poor alike. Judge Buskirk has no doubt made mistakes during his twelve years of faithful service, but who of us do not make mistakes? We firmly believe that his mistakes were of the head and not the heart. When he was defeated for renomina tion last spring, the only objection that was against him was that he had had the office long enough. He meekly bowed to the will of the majority and from that time on worked for the elec tion of Wm; H. Paynter, who had de feated hirri.

i The large majority given Mr. Paynter in Orange Cqunty speaks well for Judge Buskirk's influence with the people of his home county. We understand that Judge Buskirk will again take up the practice of law at Paoli. We predict for-him ja. large practice.

Here to you, Judge we wish you unbounded success. Salem Democrat. I A Correction. In an article of last week giving the time when the newly elected county officers would assume the respective offices to which they were elected, mistake was made in including the name of John E. Belding, treasurer- elect, among those who go in office January 1.

1913, Treasurer Price has another year yet to serve on his last term and Mr. Belding will not assume the office until January 1, 1914. Loogootee Firm Buys Medora Stock.

One of his legs was broken and he was internally injured. According to the superintendent of hospital he was suffering from the effects of alcholism. Deceased was forty-two years of age and was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Abbott, of Seymour, where he had lived nearly all his life, moving to Indianapolis with his family only a few weeks ago. Besides his parents he is survived by his widow, two sons and one daughter.

Young Persinger, who is just 25 and whose technique and fine touch were most rarely and beautifully known not only in concerto in minor that he had chosen for his number, but also in the Bach air, which he gave as an encore, in of especial interest in this city, since it was owing to a Phila- delphian that his present success was made possible. Most of the older society folks here remember "pretty Patty Stuart" a sister, of Mrs. C. Stuart Patterson, who used to run away from Miss Long-streeth's school when she was 9 Jo sit up (in the family circle at the Academy, because she loved music so. In later years she became Mrs.

H.
