In Memorialn.

Julian U. Darrow was born in Cir
ard, Erie Co., Penn, April %, 1S41,
Died at his home in Oak Dale, Iowa.
August 90, 1895.
He was married in January, 1869,
to Fannie e. Slater in Linn, Walworth
county, Wisconsin. Seven children
were the result of this union, two of
whom died in infancy.
In 1869 he moved with his wife and
one child on to his farm in Oak Dale,
Howard county, Iowa.
Mr.. Darrow united with the Baptist
church in Richmond, Illinois, in 1868.
On his removal to Iowa he united
with the Baptist church of lie Roy,
Mimi, of which he was member at
the time of his death.
During his tedious and painful
illness of two months he manifested
u sweet spirit of patience and submis-
sion to the will of God. His genial
and pleasant face will be greatly
missed by his large circle of friends,
who deeply sympathize with the be-
reaved family.
The funeral service was held in the
Baptist church under the auspices
of the G. A. R-the Post, Camp, and
Corps attending in a body. The large
attendance and profusion of flowers
We're Indicative of the esteem with
which he was held by the people.
i His remains were inferred in the
new addition to the Leroy cemetery

It May Be M urder.

Last Friday uoon Jacob Cipera, liv-
ing near Spillville, came to Decora h
and gave himself up to Sheriff
Christen, saying that the night before
he shot Frank Novotney, who was at
tempting to steal watermelons from
his field. There are two stories con-
cerning the shooting. Mr.. Cipera
says he. has been troubled by boys
stealing his melons, aud on Thursday
evening last his daughter advised him
to go out and lie in wait for them as
they might come that night. He took
a 80 calibre revolver and went to
cornfield beside his melon patch,
where he laid down. After waiting u
long tune he heard several boys CON-
ing and when they were near HIM he
jumped up. They ran and he called
10 them several times to stop. They
continued to run and he fired two
shots from his revolver. One of them
struck young Novotney in the back,
passing through his left lung, aud he
now lies in precarious condition at
Fort Atkinson.
From Spillville we learn decided
ly different report. A gang of
the road from Cipera's heard some
| lAOGIC wy thANihE5 VI S5SAAt5 w oAO Aeso
ter's, intimating that melons were
what they were after. Novotney and
another young man who was there
heard the boys also, and decided to
go down and have some fun with the
youngsters by soaring them. They
went over and had gone down the
lane, beside the melon patch, about
rods, when they saw u man rise up i'll
the corn. With that they turned and
ran across the field toward Kodelka's
when two shots were fired without q
word being spoken, with the result as
above stated.
Novotney proceeded to Kodelkas
waited until team was hitched VI
and was taken to Fort Atkinson tt
see a physician. Report comes that
he is bleeding from the wound in the
lung and grave fears are entertained
for his recovery. He is looked upol
as a very nice young man and mucl
regret is expressed that he should be
q victim of un affair such as this.
| AS to Cipera, it would hardly seen
as though he could shoot the bo.
with deliberate intention. He ha
had more or less trouble of late, an,
under the excitement which such al
occasion might produce, he ma.
have aimed at the intruders witt
more precision than he reall
intended. He is now in Jail awaiting
