leon D. HATCHER DEAD.
DAWSON LOSES ONE OF ITS BEST
CITIZENS.
Died Saturday Night After an Illness
of Only a Few Days. The
Funeral Services.

The announcement Sunday morning
that Mr. Leon D. Hatcher had died
during the night caused sadness and
gloom throughout the CITY, Mr..
Hatcher had been sick less than a week
and although but little hope was en-
tertained of his recovery his death was
shock to his friends. The cause of
death was congestion of the brain.
The deceased was thirty-six years
of age and one of Dawson's most
prominent citizens and business
men. He was a member of the firm Of
Roberts & Hatcher, and for several
years had conducted a prosperous
supply business. He was a quiet,
modest man but firm in his convic-
tions, true as steel to his friends and
generous to all who were in need of
charity.
Mr.. Hatcher had long been a mem
Der Of the Dawson Baptist church and
the funeral services were held there
at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon
when Rev, j. Howard Carpenter
paid a tender and loving tribute
to the many virtues of the dead.
At the grave the Royal Arcanum, of
which he was prominent member,
took charge of the rites and con-
scluded them with their beautiful burial
Service.
A sad feature about the death of this
.strong and vigorous young man is that
i ms young wife preceded him to the
grave just amonth before, she having
sdied on December Bird. Q
The death of Mr.. Hatcher is univer-
faIIy regretted, but it is pleasant to re-
Ellelnoer MN as a good, true and gener-
HouS man who lived among us.

JUSTICES AND BAlLIFFS.
INTERESTING ELECTIONS IN SOME
OF THE DISTRICTS,
While in Others the Polls Were Not
Opened. The Contest in the
Twelfth,

The battle of the ballots for justices
of the peace and bailiffs of the militia
districts occurred Saturday. In some
of the districts there were ex-
citing contests, while in the Third
Fourth and Forks the polls were not
opened
The most exciting race was probably
in the Twelfth, where Judge j. P.
Green was opposed for reelection by
Mr.. D. R. Kitchener and Bailiff W.
j. r. Davis had as an opponent Mr.. j.
Z. Turner. There were 252 votes poll
ed and Judge Green received a MAORI
ty of over 200 votes. Bailiff Davis de-
feated Mr.. Turner by vote of 140 to
102. Mr.. Davis requests THE News to
say that there was not strict party
issue in the election, and that his sue
cess is due to the support of both dem
ocrats and populists.
In the BrOnwood district Judge J..
| G. Avera was reelected without oppo-
sitiOn, but Bailiff A. j. Kenney was
defeated by Mr.. Wright Kennedy by a
vote Of 102 to 81.
In the Dawson district Judge Peddy
received rs votes, all that were cast.
Messrs. w. t. Lewis and j. n. Cook
received rs and Y votes respectively
| for bailiffs.
Judge George Kaigler received 81
votes in the Parrott district and was
reelected without opposition.
Judge S. III. Roberts and Bailiff w.
S, Tedder were reelected in the Elev
, enth, receiving votes each
In the third the polls were not opened
on account of a disagreement between
the candidates for justice, Judge S. Fl
Roby, the present incumbent, Judge
j. @. Guerry and Messrs. j. Fl. Kelley
NJ. S. Jordan, as to managers and the
time for opening the polls.

the little son of Mr.. w. II. Cobb, had a
hand so badly torn by the explosion of a
