LETTING WELL { HOLDEN.

Willis Strickland died at his home north of
this city this morning at about s O'Clock He
had been confined to his bed most of the time
for five days preceding his death, but his health
has been very feeble all winter and Spring, and
| that combined with his advanced years was too
much for the strong vitality that has repeatedly
triumphed over sickness and pain, and this
morning he quietly passed away. His physical
decline has been perceptible for long time,
but was particularly noticeable since the death
of his sou. selah Strickland, in early winter
The cause of his death is attributed to neural
gia and hard cold on his lungs and other all
ments incident to old age.
Mr.. Strickland was born June 10th, 1901 in
Sandisfeld, Berkshire county. Mass, and came
to Windham this county, in 1899. In 1927 he
married Miss Lucy Hawley, who died In JAN
uary, 1e41. Three children were born of this
union-Seth, Selah and Lucy Il , the former
being the only survivor. In June, 1s4l, Mr.
Strickland married Mrs. Caroline Gardner, who
died in January, 1865. leaving three children
George. John and Willis, the last two dying at
the age of is years. In November 1865, Mr.
Strickland was married to Mrs Sarah E Rich
ards, who with her only child, Alice now Mrs.
NJ. R. Furry, born of her first m arriage, survive
| him.
Mr.. Strickland came to Ravenna in April
| 1885, and has for years been one of the leading
| farmers and business men of this section. He
was at one time a member of the Massachusetts
Legislature. and also served as a Pos stmaster in
| that State. He was twice elected Justice of the
| Peace. He was one of the original stockholder:
| in the First National Bank of this city, and VI
to few months preceding his death, was one
| Of its directors.
In the death of Mr.. Strickland, good mar
and valuable citizen has been lost to the com
munity. His life was one of great industry anc
| 1ndefatigable energy. and his broad acres wert
| Won by constancy of devotion to his business
equalled by few. Mr.. Strickland was man o
integrity, honor and kindly actions. and just il
all his relations to his fellowmen. When hi
excellencies were all summed up, very littl,
else was left for further computation, and i
can be truthfully said of Willis Strickland, "h,
lived and died good man.
His funeral will be held from the house at
p M, Friday.

A dispatch from Leavittsburgh was received
at an early hour Sunday morning, notifying our

the station to arrest them. Peter Richards going

pected but two guests. but when the train pulled
in. four men. seeing the officers. jumped from

after a fugitive, Goodenough, after emptying his

| he was captured and handed over to the officer.
| Helt proved himself better runner. and soon
got within close range of his man, and one warn
ing shot caused the fellow to turn and throw up
his hands. Meanwhile. Richards gave chase to
another of the gang. and although at times quite
close to his man. after long chase he was out

poor weapon in a running field fight at long range
and next time he goes out after burglars b. pro
poses to load himself down with howitzers, Tht
fourth one of the gang pursued his way unmolest
ed and was last seen going across the premises
of Mrs. Reese. on Lincoln Avenue. A thorough
search of the two who were captured revealed
were glad to turn them, with all their belongings
over to the Warren officers. who took them bac
on the evening train.
