The above is nice little ditty that
Morgan undoubtedly sung to the Jour
nal reporter. The part stating that
the people here did not propose to
have him do business is true, but the
statement that an endeavor was made
to buldOZe him is false. The citizens
notified him to close up his "shOp"
and gave him twenty-four hours to do
so. This step was taken so as to
avoid arresting Morgan and putting
the county to extra expense if possible.
Morgan did not comply with the
wishes of the people and made his
brags that he would make the county

Burned to Death.

The residence of George Johnson,
two miles north of Lodi, Clay Co., was
burned Sunday Aug. 5, and two of his
sons, aged 10 and 20 years, were Gre
mated in the fiery furnace. Just how
the fire started is not known, but the
details are as follows: The family
were all away at church but the young
est boy, aged 13. He was to bed and
asleep when the other two boys re-
turned home. They had been to bed
about half an hour when Mr..
Johnson and his daughter returned
home, the latter going into the kit
chen and lighting lantern, and going
out to help put up the horses. Re-
fore they had them unhitched the
house was seen to be all aflame. 1t
was impossible to get anything out,
and it is supposed that gasoline stove
in the kitchen had leaked, and be-
come ignited from the match thrown
down by the girl when she lit the Ian
tern. The two older boys were not
yet sound asleep and were awakened
by the intense heat. The younger of
the two made his way down stairs
without stopping to dress, and got
out though considerably burned. The
other one stopped to put on some
clothes, and had said to the other that
he would bring the youngest boy who
was still asleep but for some reason he
