The Butler weekly times., 1896-02-27

Oscar Rennick Graham, the little
son OF Mr. and Mrs. Graham, was
buried from the family home in the
north part Of the city Sunday.
Death was caused from bronchitis.
Jas. h DeJarnett, of Usage town
ship gave US pleasant call while in
the city last week. He informed us
that he had concluded to make the
race for the sheriff's place on the
democratic ticket. AIR. DeJarnett
is gentleman of fine address, cour
teous, clever and accommodating
always, and a democrat without
guile. His name has for long time
been mentioned in connection with
this office by his admirers He
would make good race and an ex
csllent officer.
John. G.. McPeak, formerly Of
Foster, Mo-, but now of Texas, who |
was prosecuting case in court for
personal damages against the Mo.
Pacific railroad, is in the city.
Owing to sickness in his family
when the case was tried last week
he could not be present and his at
torneys We're compelled to try the
cause in his absence The case went
to the jury and a short time after
they had rendered their decision
giving hima verdict of $4,000 dam
ages. to the utter surprise of
his attorneys,1 McPeak walked into
the court room. He appears to be
in very poor health and his absence
was surely to the great advantage
of the railroad company. Had he
made his appearance on the witness
stand in his present physical con
dition, (Which he attributes to the
injuries received at the time of the
accident,) the verdict certainly
would have been entirely different
and would probably have exceeded
the damages awarded him in pre-.
vious trial of the case, $500.
Butler friends extend sincere
sympathies to Judge and Mrs. Saml
Levy, in their sorrow and affection
over the death of their only son,
Harry, who after an illness of six
weeks passed away at the family
home in New York City, Friday
night last. A telegram to Mr. Silas
Levy, of this city, Saturday morning
convey ed the sad news and that gen.
tleman left on the first train for st.
Louis to attend the funeral obse-
quies, which took place in that city.
The deceased was - years of age,
was partially raised in Butler. at.
tended the public schools in this
: city and was known by almost all
our young people. He was An ex
ceptionally bright boy and while liv
ing in this town a more manly and
Z gentlemanly little fellow was not to
be met. Being the only boy in the
. family his parents idolized him and
you can imagine the sorrow and
! grief that fills their hearts. Judge
y. Levy is engaged in the manufacture
of ladies wraps in New York, and {
short time ago took, Harry from
school and gave him a position ii
b his establishment, and it is lament
D able that his hopes of seeing his sol
r grow to perfect manhood and o
D thoroughly establishing himself il
the business world were hinderet
by death.
