Something of Ills History.

VIM. H. Knowles was born in Van
Buren county, Mich. in 1910. AT the
age of fifteen his father died and with
an elder brother Mr.. Knowles pro-
vided for the widowed mother and the
children. For number of years he
was engaged in the mercantile business
at Breedsville, Mich, and in 1881 came
to Mitchell and again went into busi-
ness, associating himself with w. H.
Pitwood, which business relations were
wood in 1886. MIR. Knowles continued
the business until the summer of 1890
when S. t. Greene purchased a half
interest. When Mr.. Greene was ap-
pointed postmaster nearly two years
ago he disposed of his interest to Mr.
Knowles year afterward. During
the Is years Of business activity Mr..
Knowles has taken a great interest in
any enterprise which tended toward
the betterment of Mitchell. He was a
man who paid strict attention to his
business, very seldom absenting him
self from mis- store for any great length
Of time. Mr.. Knowles was OF very
generous disposition and had kindly
charity for ALL giving bountifully of
mis- goods to anything that needed sup
port OF that kind The deceased al
though Of a retiring disposition, had
the warm fl iendship and high esteem
of every body. He was member of
the Masonic blue lodge.
The funeral services will be held in

The wounded man Is the eldest son OF

over the State. and the young man who Ia
in jail is u son of the editor Of the Lex
ingtOn Dispatch, Mr.. Harman.
Sheriff Drafts. or Lexington, was I'm the

the unfortunate AFFAIR
10 appears that FOR some time young
Caughman, who - about - years OF age,
has been paying attention 20 Mr. Har-
mans sister. Miss Florrie Hartman. On
Friday afternoon young Harman saw
Caughman talking 70 his sister near the
village school Ho had forbidden Caugh-
man TO talk 10 her. IL IL said. He walket
up TO the pair, pulled out pistol. and
shot Caughmam. The ball entered tho
head near the temple on the left side.
and ranged downward, making what is
considered a mortal wound. \ physician
was summoned and Caughman's uncon-

alive this afternoon so a gentleman who
arrived from Lexington tonight said but
no hopes were entertained OF his recovery.
The young lady and two men were tho

Young Hartman considers that he was
justinable In shooting Caughman down,
and adds that any other man would have
done so under the circumstances. This
statement he considers sufficient for the
