Kicked to Death.
Oscar johnson, q stepson of P. A.
Holm, Of Painted Woods, came to the
city Tuesday with the news that Holm
had been killed at his farm, by being
kicked by a team Of horses. From all
reports obtainable, it appears that Holm
was in the city Monday, and drove home
that day, arriving in the evening. The
boy was in the barn working at the time,
according to his own story, and saw
Holm fasten the lines to the front end
Of the wagon and get out and start to
unhitch. He did not see him again
until, attracted by sounds, as of a dis
turbance, he looked from his work, and
saw Holm lying at the front end of the
wagon, kicked and trampled by the
horses. The man was not yet dead, but
his face, head and body were covered
with Wounds and bruises, from which
he died a few hours later.
The boy and his father we're the only
two persons at the house at the time,
and the boy did not notify his neighbors
until the next iday-Tuesday. Holm's
wife is at the hospital in this city, suf-
fering from the effects of an injury re-
ceived in a runaway last fall, and, it is
said, is not expected to recover. A
daughter of the deceased is Mrs. George
Robidou, Of this city.
Further and somewhat conflicting re-
ports of the death were received in the
city later, and Coroner Webb and DR..
Harcourt left for the scene of the affair
to investigate.
Ed Sloan is doing some good work
about the school house grounds. The
grounds have been cleared of all rubbish,
leveled off neatly, and new trees set
out. Lilac bushes and other shrubs
have been planted along the edges.
Grass seed will be planted, and as soon
as the growing season is fairly here, there
will be no prettier or better cared for
spot in the city than the school house
block. Ed takes great interest in work
of the kind, and he intends to have one
of the prettiest plats of ground mag

out in summer green.

PRIZES ON PATENTS,
How 90 got $1OO and Perhaps Make
| Fortune,

How 90 got 800 and Perhaps Make
q Fortune.
We secure patents and to induce
people to keep track Of their bright
ideas We offer prize Of ono hundred
dollars to be paid on the first OF every
month to the person who submits the
most meritorious invention during the
preceding month. We will also adj
vertise the invention free of charge in
the National Recorder, a weekly news
paper. published in Washington, d.
c., which has an extensive circula-
ton throughout the United States and
is devoted to the interests OF inventors.
NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people As be-
ing very difficult; this delusion tho
Company wishes to dispel. 1t is the
simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of
money, and the complex ones are sell
dom profitable. Almost everybody,
at some time or another, conceives an
idea, which, if patented, would prob
ably DO worth to him fortune. Un-
fortunately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. Tho simple
inventions like the car window which
could be easily slid up and down with
out breaking the passengers back,
the sauce pan, the collar button, tho
nut lock, the bottle stopper. the snow
shovel. arc things that almost every
one sees some way OF improving upon.
and it Is these kind of inventions that
bring the greatest returns to the
author.
The prize we offer will be paid at
the end of each month, whether the
application has been acted upon by
the Patent Office or not. Every COM
petitor must apply for patent on his
invention through US. and whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor
will have valuable patent

We all aim to live at home and board
at the same place. We don't aim to
give our town so many calls this year
for meat and bread, though we have
had some OF our swine to die, but
thank God he has spared enough to
make our meat, and we still are In
debt little to our friend ''Comeagsin,"
but being blessed with a good crop
think we can soon all get our receipts
from our friend "Comeagain."
People most all had a merry Xmas,
and are now shouting Happy New
Year, and are making preparations
for another crop. We wish them an
other good crop. five can have one

Since the last Issue of the VIpErTE
but little has developed in regard to
the killing at Red Sulphur Springs.
The murdered mans name is Martin
instead of Murphy, as was supposed,
which fact was learned through let
tor directed to Sheriff D. o. Matthews.
He seems to have no relations so far
as has been learned, and what appears
odd about him is his going under an
assumed name. His horse and buggy
in which he was driving through the
country, Is under mortgage to a firm
In Sedalia, Ky. 1t m atters not, how
ever crooked the murdered man may
have baen, there seems to beno excuse
for the foul manner in which he was
murdered. The law-abiding people OF
the community are very much stirred
up over the matter, and are in con-
slant dread lest violence may be done
them at any time. A report has been
circulated that Gus Thomas has been
killed, as his horse was found. the
saddle being covered with bullet holes
and blood. Thomas is one of the part
les suspected Of being implicated in
the murder. and it is a fact that he
has disappeared and no one seems to
know anything about him. Tho whole
natter is being kept in the background
and one can only accept what he hears
as partly true.
