Col Burt Suffers Serious Injuries.
Hi City Star. nov. %.

Hill City Star, Nov. n
Out on the prairie in Gettysburg town.
ship last Tuesday morning, Col Ran
dolph Burt and d. A. Lee met, when Lex
accused Burt of having shut up hog
belonging to him. Mr.. Burt replied that
he had, when Lee, it is said, began beat
ing him with the butt end of heavy
whip. Whether any one interfered OF
not, We did not learn, but Mr.. Burt is re-
ported in critical condition, having his
head badly bruised, one arm badly hurt,
and hurt internally. While taking no
sides in this case, we are prompted to say
that Mr.. Burt's age. Che being over sixty
years old, land the fact that he has been
confined to his house for several months
with rheumatism, should have been suffi-
Gent reasons, (no matter what the provo
caton,) to shield him from assault. Lee
is young, stout and able-bodied, and is
the man who assaulted w. V. Quinn
some time ago, and for which he was
tried at this term of court, and is now
serving sixty days term in Jail, and in
addition will have the cost to pay.

OBITUARY.
Died, in Denver, Col, the wife of Reu-
ben Shorthill, cousin of 8. L. Shorthil.
Mrs. Shorthill, we think, was born in
Williams county, Ohio. and was married
to Reuben Shorthill some time soon after
the late war They then emigrated to
Iowa in a wagon; and, being dissatisfied
with that state, they emigrated in wag-
on to Rocks county, Kansas, when that
caunty was quite new. Her health began
to fail about year ago, and her medical
aid advised her to change climate. They
went to Denver, where she took what is
called Mountain Fever; and after suffer
ing for some six months, she passed
away. She was a member Of the Evan
gelical church, and was true Christian
in every sense of the word. Her door
and heart we're always open to the poor
and needy, and she never forgot the sick.
Her heart was always in her hand, as was
said by those who knew her best. Her
remains were taken to Rocks county, near
her old home, and laid to rest. In his
late bereavement, Mr.. Shorthill has the
heartfelt sympathy of all who know him.
Her sufferings now are at an end,
Her work Is done, her trials DER;
With Jesus for her Almighty friend,
She lives above to die no more.
Dear mourner stop that gushing stream,
Let bitter torrents flow no more;
Go, sweetly sleep, and thou shalt dream
OF glories on a better shore.
And when in death thy body sleeps,
Oh! may thy spirit upward rise
To joys immortal and complete,
And meet that dear one in the skies.

People say some men and women are "born ac-

cultivated with an indefatigable assiduity the
talents he or she possesses from nature have very
Imperfect knowledge OF the source OF that merit
which so astonishes them. Who that knows or

many hours or deep reflection and earnest study
were her rare exhibitions OF skill the fruit?

In referring To my own humble efforts in the
past can only say that my best results have been
through my greatest study and work. Many a

It's all very well to go on discovering new tricks

lady was sitting eating lunch, and the place was
full Suddenly there was a connection. The

"Waiter, where Is my cloak?"
"YOur CLOAK, madam? do not KNOW"

Everybody was attracted to the scene. Every
