The Man Hallie and Summon Aid. Mutt Wa Drunk. Atchison. Kan., Feb 8. Jim Nutt, marie famous fur killing Lawyer N I. Dukes, in Uniontowii, Pa , in 18S3, l riving from wouuds inflicted by Mrs John Pavtnn. who committed the aft after Nutt. in a dranken rage had fatally shot her Neither can live. Leonard Coleman, a hired man who at tempted to save Mrs Payton's life, is lying seriously wounded, having re ceived a bullet from Nntt's revolver, hut will recover. The crime was most horrible and unprovoked, the promi nence of the families concerned making it most sensational. After Nnft was aoqnitted on being tried for killing of Dukes, he moved to Kansas, to near where his present farm is situated, and managed his mother's farm He was considered a good citi zen and became prosperous. Until two years age the Paytons worked for Nutt. living on h s farm. The relations be came strained, Jhowever, and the Payton family, consisting of the parents and five children, rented a farm eight miles from Nutt's place, from Mrs A. E Bradbury. Mr. Payton has been away from home most of the present winter cutting ice, during which time Nutt renewed his relations with the family. Nothing out of the way was discernable in his con duct, however, until the time of the tragedy, when he sauntered into the Payton hou.-ehold at a late hour under the influence of liquor. Payton was absent, and Coleman, the hired man. was the only other man on the premises. Nutt, who had lieen on a week's spree, was in no pleasant mood, and grufl'y ordered Mrs. Payton to get him a meal. Mrs. Payton complied, though more through fear than ljecau.se she cared to, and scentinu trouble, she quietly got the children from the room. As he ate. Nutt became more abusive toward Mrs. Pavton. and seemed to be tnrning mad. When he finished eating, he deliberately drew his revolver and pointing it at ttie now thoroughly frightened woman, cried, "I'm going to kill you." Hefore she could make a move he had carried his threat into effect ami sent three bullets into her body. The shots attracted Coleman, who rushed into the house with an ax in his hand. The in st. mt he entered, Nutt leveled his weapon on him and fired Two shots struck the would-be rescuer, but not be fore he had badly wounded Nutt. He fell to the floor, and for a time lay un conscious in the blood that poured from his wounds. At the same time Mrs. Payton, with a superhuman effort, had raised herself from the flior and secured the ax. Nu t had become weakened now and literally sank in His tracks. Rushing to where he lay. the woman, her wounds bleed ing profusely and herself weak from ex citement and loss of blood, rained blow after blow upon Nutt's head Not until her victim's head was a mass of jelly and she too weak to longer wield the ax. did she desist. Then she sank to the fl'ior and went into a state of an consciousness that lasted several hours When Coleman recovered, finally, his consciousness, he found both Nutt ami Mrs Payton laying in great pools of their blood. Tying Nutt to a chair, lest he should escape, Coleman gave the alarm When assistance arrived the woman wad beyond help. Neither Mrs Payton nor Nutt are able to relate the story of the crime. Coleman is also in a bad way, but will recover. Aside from the alove facts, he steadfastly re fuses to be interviewed. Nutt has been removed to Atchison. NUTT-DUKES AFFAIR. Th Other Traced?

HALLS m The preat pojiularity of this preparation, after its test of many years, should be an assurance, even to tbe liitt skeptical, that It lit really meritorious. Those who have used Hii i.'s H air Kknkwkk know that it does all that in claimed. It causes now prowth of hair on balJ heads provided the hair follicles are not dead, which in seldom the ca.se; restores natural color to pray or faded hair; pre aervea the acalp healthful and clear of dandruff; preveuts the hair falling off or changing color; keeps it soft, pliant, lus trous, and causes It to grow long and thick. Hall's TTaik Rkvkwfr produces its effects by the healthful influence of it Tepe table InpTedienu, which invurorate and rejuvenate. It is not a dye. and is a delightful article for toilet use. Con taining no alcohol, it does not evap orate quickly and dry up the natural oil. leaving the 'hair harsh and brittle. aJ da other preparations. Buckingham's Dve FOR TBI WHISKERS Colors them brown or black, as desired. and Is tne best dye, because it Is harmlexs; produces a permanent natural color; and, being a single preparation, is more con venient of application than any other. riirtuD it H.
