Fam Ecu.sC Burned.

WE are paincd TO learn that the
house Of Mr.. Free Sexton, a farmer
of Empire township, was entirely
consumed by fire on Saturday last,
December 2Sti,. Mr.. Sexton had
been sick for some time previous, and
was still confined to his bed. His
wife went to u neighbours house on
the afternoon of the day above men-
toned, first making up a fire sufficient
TO last until her return Shortly af-
ter, Mr.. Sexton hearing a suspicious
noise overhead, managed to climb up
stairs, and on opening the door discov-
cred one bed completely destroyed by
fire, and the fire raging fercely over
the greater part of the. room. He
hurried and threw such articles out
of the window as he could, and, when
unable to stand the heat any longer,
left the fiery element in possession,
which soon demolished the house to-
tally. No cause for the fire is known,
and Mr.. Sexton can only conjecture
that a coal must have fallen OIL the
cat, as his wife was making a fire,
and the coal carried up stairs and on
the bed /; from the fact that the day
afterward the house cat was seen
with a hole burned through her hair
and skin, as though done by a coal.
Mr.. Sexton was burned out several
years ago. The sympathy of the cn-
tire community is with him, as it
should be, for it is a calamity indeed
for a farmers house 10 be burned in
the dead of winter, with nothing to
depend on for shelter but the kind
and ~open-hearted charity ofthe neigh
bOrs.

Melancholy Death OF John r. Avis,
Late Of Savannah, at the Handsot
Despsradoas.
4 short time since We recorded liz our
columns the departure from u midst of
Messrs. J. NJ. and Henry Callers and
John X. Avis, well known in Savannah
and in Andrew county. Young Avis left
the city full of hope and the determlna-
ton to win a fortune in Texas, which
seems to be the goal of so many restless
people within the past few months. The
friends of young Avis will regret to read
the following letter, giving an account
of his cold-blooded murder.
Chctopa, KS, Dec. 22,1S72.
Editors Herald: Please give space in

which occurred in this neighbOrhood a

Missouri, four in numder, Capt. Cuilers,
Henry Cullers, j. Avis and colOred
boy, while travelling through the
country we're attacked by a band of des-
peradoes when about twelve miles from
here. The desperadoes approached the
wagon and began firing. Young Avis
Jumped out to make a defense, but as
soon as he had reached the ground he
fell, struck in the breast by three bullets:
While lying on the ground he emptied
his revolver at the villains. Henry Cul-
lers then jumped out and came to the as
sist,nce O fyoung Avis, when the attack
ing party rode off. Avis was brought
to this city and is still living, but his
doctor says that he cannot last much long,

Tie scar that is jul going cut will
have taken With it BY death, q greater
Bumber of the pioneer citizens OF this
section Of Missouri, than any previous
yearin the history Of TIE State. Tine
moves ON leadeH wings rs we pass il.O
the future, but turn We but our eyes
backward and his broad pinions move
swifter than the wind. With relentless
sweep his steady scythe cuts down the
young flowers and the ripe grain together.
In the moving mass of life and activity
around Us, we seldom stop to think that
mortality is the lot of all men, and We
are only ..orcibly reminded Of the unwcl-
come truth when an old pioneer citizen,
whom we have known for half Il gcL-
Grafton, is taken away from among us.
To-day brings us tidings of the death
of Maj. William Early Rucker, for
nearly forty years a resident of North
Missouri. He died at his home neal
Spence's Mill, Andrew county. at one
o'clock on Thursday morning, and yes
terday his earthly remains were born to
their last long home, followed by a large
number Of %sorrowing relatives and sym
pathizing friends.
Maj. Rucker was born in Virginia,
and when quite young came with his pa
rents to Boone county, Kentucky. Here
at length he married his wife, who sur
wives him. She is a sister of Mr.. Ed.
Rogers, a we'll known citizen of Andrew
county. In 1911 Major Rucker removed
to Charlton county, neal Brunswick, Mo.
In 1914 he was appointed Indian Agent,
aid removed to Andrew county, where
he has since resided.
Deceased was related to the Earlys,
and many others of the bsst families Of
Virginia. He was n gentleman by birth
and education, and was at the same time
a most genial, kind hearted man. The
rough school Of the pioneer stamped him
with that brusqueness and independence
that characterixes the heroes of his class,
to which belong the lemented Col. David
Bonham, also Of Andrew county.
Major Ruckcr is dead, and we conf
IDENTIFY commend his noble soul to that
just God who alone can penetrate earthly
dross and detect the pure gold. A world
peoplcd with such men as he, would be
n paradise compared with this.
