Saline, Kansas, July 19, 1910. TRAGIC END OF MRS. BUCK. Her Life Sauffed Out by the Accidental Discharge of a Shotgun in the Hands of Her Husband. The greatest excitement and sorrow prevailed in this city and all the country north of here last Monday evening at 7 o'clock when the news spread over the 'phone lines that Mrs.

Walter E. Buck had been killed at her home eight miles north and two east of this city by the accidental discharge of shotgun in the hands of her husband, Drs. Morrison and Slagle responded to the call for medical. aid and though they went in an auto to the scene: at thirty miles an hour they could do nothing after arrival. Mrs.

Buck breathed an hour after being shot and then expired. She never spoke or showed any signs of consciousness after the heavy load of shot pierced her brain. As near as we can get the facts they are as follows: Mr. Buck had come in from work, and after being told by his wife that supper would be ready in about ten minutes, he took down the shotgun in an adjoining room with the intention of taking it to the garden and shooting a rabbit. The weapon is what is known as pump gun or repeater.

He put two shells into the magazine and then worked the lever to throw one of them into the breech. At that instant the gun exploded with a deafening sound, and as he looked into the kitchen saw his wife sink to the floor. Rushing to her prostrate form he saw the awful wound in the back of her head and then dashed from the house, yelling and crying at the top of his voice. Neighbors who live just across the road ran to the home and lifted the form of Mrs. Buck to a bed and then phoned for medical aid and the parents of Mrs.

Buck, who are Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bowwan. Scores of people were soon on the scene but nothing could be done but silently and tearfully await the coming of the grim messenger of death. It was truly an awful thing, and none could help but pity the young husband in his terrible sorrow.

So awful was his grief and ravings that it was feared throughout the night that his mind would surely snap under the strain. There are sorrows so great that words cannot express them, and it is so in this case. The young husband, children and the parents, brothers and sisters of the deceased are down into the very depths of despond and bereavement. Time alone can assauge the terrible grief gnawing at their hearts. Funeral services over the body of Mrs.

Buck were held at the Dewey church yesterday forenoon at 11 o'clock, the services being in charge of Elder F. E. Blanchard, Christian minister at this place, assisted by Rev. F. L.

Courter of Bellaire. The very large crowd present well attested the love and esteem in which Mrs. Buck was held in the vicinity, and the sorrow one and all felt over her ununtimely and tragic end. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery north of this city. BIOGRAPHICAL.

Ada Alice Bowman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I Lee Bowman, was born at their present home in northeast Washington township, August 28, 1883, and died July 18, 1910, aged 26 years, 10 months and 20 days. She was married to Walter E. Buck, December 27, 1901.

To this union four children were born, three boys and one girl, all of them surviving. Shortly after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Buck moved to Dewey county, and lived on a farm there for a number of years. From there they moved to southern Missouri, and about a year ago they moved back to this county.

Besides her stricken young husband and four small children, the deceased is survived by her parents, five brothers and eight sisters. She was one of a family of seventeen children and her death was the first to occur in the family for many years. The three children who preceded her died in infancy. Marriage Licenses.

Wilson Ross' span of dandy drivers that are not city broke got away while being hitched to the buggy at the Sargent Timmins barn and went like a streak up east. They lost the buggy inside of the first fifty yards, and were later caught east of the school house. While Wilson was hustling around getting things shaped away to go home, Louie Stevens came sizzling along Main street on his new motor cycle and collided with a fine town dog in front of Kirkpatrick's store. The header Louie took cut a wider swath than any you ever see in a harvest field. The dog of course was unhurt.
