brought to Rocky Ford and embalmed,
remaining in Reifels undertaking rooms
until word could be had from eastern
relatives as TO the disposition of the re-
mains. Turtle Lake being distant from
q railway or telegraph office there was
much delay in receiving a communica-
tion, no definite answer beng received
until Tuesday morning. when d telegram
was received directing that the burial
take place in Rocky Ford. Funeral
services were held at the M. e. church
at 4 O'Clock Tuesday evening and the
body was buried in the Rocky Ford
cemetery according to the beautiful core
monies Of the order Of Odd Fellows.
The remarks made by Rev. Sapp over
the remain of the deceased Odd Fellow
were most appropriate to the occasion
and highly pleasing TO the large delega-
from Rocky Ford Lodge 81 l. o. o. T..
At the regular meeting of the Lodge
this week a vote OF thanks was rendered
the rever< ned gentleman for his kindness.
II will no doubt be o source Of graf

stranger to know that his remains re-
ceived all honor due brother Of the
order Of Odd Fellows.

sKnock Him Down"

Any man who points a revolver
or gun at one, whether the weapon
is supposed to be loaded or un-
loaded, is either a fool or a lunatic
and in either case he cannot be
suppressed too soon. Our advice
under such circumstances is to
knock the murderous imbecile
down without . moments hesita-
ton. Don't delay; q minute is
more than time enough for his
foolishness to cost you your life.
Knock him down. If he has as
much brainpower as bluejay he
will thank you for doing it

ailment. Mr.. Stumm is foreman of Mer-

fore good fire and thoroughly rubbed
with Chamberlain's Pain Balm. During
the evening aud night he was repeatedly

STILL IT MOVES.

The advancement in the healing art
eauses by the discovery Of Compound Ok
Ygen and by its uses, though opposed by
many physicians whose chronic, and
therefore, renumerative patients are cnr-
ed by it, can no longer be denied. In
spite Of these gentry, "the world does
move" and we have on our records the
names Of over one thousand physicians
who have either taken the remedy them
selves or who have used it in their prac-
tine.
Asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, consump-
zion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, rheumatism, are diseases which
the doctors call chronic, meaning that
they continue for long time, often dur
ing the life Of the patient; but these as
we'll as acute diseases, have been cured
in numerous cases and are still cured by
the inhalation of our Compound Oxygen.
This remedy has been in use for nearly a
quarter of a century. Its merits are
irrefutable evidence to itl wonderful ef-
ficiency in the cure Of disease and debil-
ity, and we gladly do 30. Write MS and
