4 young man named Eby engaged
IN the cigar and Tobacco trade, in this
place, drove his horse and buggy to
Lewistown last Friday afternoon.
While in the National Hotel saloon he
had fall out with the bar keeper, but
sometime afterwards in passing the
saloon window, he fired pistol shot
through it. The bullet lodged in
the opposite wall. For the offense
officer Weimer was sent to look him
up. He was found at one of the
hotels in town and arrested and
placed in jail till Saturday morning
when by hearing he was released
without further responsibility, than,
that he was requested to leave town
by those managing the suit against
him.
An exchange says: I'VE want peo-
pie to borrow our paper, and we hope
no one will stop reading it because
they can't afford to own a copy, so
long as they can beg, steal or borrow
it A paper that is borrowed is a
great deal like good wheelbarrow,
or stump puller, or a good kraut
cutter-it must have some merit, or
it would not be wanted And then
it boastfully adds: I'VE know of
one woman who borrowed the read
ing of this paper for three years and
half and then became converted
and joined the church. On another
man it had nearly the opposite effect;
he has borrowed it so long that he
would not rent a house in the neigh
borhood where that paper wasn't ta-
ken.
Mrs. Meyer, wife of Jefferson Moy-
er, living in this town, lost her life
last Saturday afternoon, between the
hours of 2 and 3 o'clock, under cir
cumstances that were exceedingly
distressing to relatives and friends
of the family of the deceased, and in
manner that shocked the whole
community. She had concluded to
have q number of teeth extracted.
Dentist William Rodgers, was to do
the work of drawing I3 teeth. To
have the operation done with less
pain than attends upon tooth pull
ing operation without the use of an
anesthetic, DIR. Thomas Elder ac-
companied Rodgers to Mr.. Meyers
house to administer chloroform to
Mrs. Meyer while Rodgers should
perform the operation of pulling the
teeth. Mrs. Meyer was seated in a
chair. Her husband stood close by,
DR.. Elder administered the chloro-
form, and Rodgers proceeded to pull
teeth, five were pulled when Mrs Moy-
er sank down IN the chair limp body.
Her husband caught her in his arms
and gently lowered her to the floor,
and before the startling fact was re-
allied the spark of life was gone and
Mrs. Meyer was dead. Mrs. Mengle
wife of Henry Mengle, brother of
the deceased, was present, a distress
ed witness to the dreadful scene.
DIR. Crawford was speedily called,
and under his instruction wooden
goods were saturated with warm wa
ter and placed over the heart, but
that organ hadceased to beat and
no heat, no art, could again cause
it to pulsate and start the blood
anew on a course of life. Mrs.
Meyer had been in good health
up to the time of her death. She
was aged about ~ years. Hel
family consisted of her husband, and
a child, son about two years of age
Her remains were placed in their last
resting place-''dust to dust, earth
to earth, in the Presbyterian grave
yard in this place on Monday after
noon, at two oclOck.
