er, Mr.. G. Chase.
Mr.. Chase left lola something over
a year ago and went south largely
for the benefit of his health, which
had already shown signs of failing.
The change proved beneficial for
awhile, but the improvement was
only temporary. He began falling
again about four months ago and
steadily declined till death came,
He passed away without tremor,
not so much as sigh marking the
separation of the soul from the weary
and outworn body.
Mr.. Chase was man OF the highest
character and will be long remember
ed by the many friends he left here
in his old home, with affectionate re-
gard.
Services in memory of the deceased
were held at the Baptist church Sun

Death Narrowly Escaped.

Last Thursday afternoon Bertha, the
sixteen. year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Davis, narrowly escaped
death by fall from horse.
Bertha Davis and Addie Edgar
were riding one of Mr.: Davis horses
and Birdie Edgar aud Maude Davis,
one of the Edgar horses. The quar-.
tette was riding short distance
south of their homes on State street
when the Davis horse, made risky
by the bracing breeze, began to ca
per. His first plunge threw the little
Edgar girl who was seated behind off
into the mud. which broke her fall
and saved her from all injury, and
threw the little Davis girl from the
saddle, her foot catching in the stir
rup. The horse became frightened
and ran, kicking at the girl, for
several blocks. AS he turned the cor
ner between Reimert's and Will
Davis houses, the girl struck the
crossing and the wrench pulled the
stirrup loose. This fact alone doubt
less saved her life, as her foot was
securely fastened In the stirrup, hav-
Ing passed through 1t. She sustained
severe blow on the head, cash
being cut In her scalp, and several
bruises on her arm, but DR.. Chsstain,
who was summoned to dress the
wound, pronounced 1t nothing serious
1t was very close call, and the &C
cident should be warning against
the too common habit of allowing
children TO ride alone.
