OBITUARY.
Bier,.,bo,,rlrnu.

Charles Biersborn, Of Liscomb. who
has been Ill for a year and half, suf-
5feing from cancer of the jaw, died
early this morning at his home. The
death was not unexpected, for Mr..
Biersborn has been in an extremely
critical condition for several weeks. In.
fact, for several months it would not
have been surprising had he died at
any time, SO great was his affliction.
Mr.. Biersborns was rather peculiar
bothered by an liberated tooth A
dentist was sought and the obstacle,
supposedly. removed. A particle of the
root remained, however, and it was but
a short time until the jaw began to
swell, neceseitating, after few weeks,
the removal OF the lower jaw. A can
cerous growth then developed and
operation after operation and treat,
ment Of various kinds failed to afford
any relief
The deceased is a member Of one Of
the oldest and best known families Of
Liscomb. HE'S the son of Mrs. Cath
erine Biersborn and was born and
reared in Liscomb. At the time OF his
death and for a number of years he
was associated with his brother-in- law,
Mr.. Will Myers, in the implement busi-
ness. A wife and two small sons sur-
vive him. as do also his mother, three
brothers, Principal George Biersborn
of the Liscomb schools, Henry and
Elmer Biersborn, and one sister, Miss
Alice.
The funeral will be held sunday after
noon at 2 O'clock from the Christian
church.

Attachment.
Action Taken to Protect Mrs Van
Dsrvesr in Her Suit For Per.
msnent Alimony.
Both the Proprietors Returned to
the City-Two Letters That
"Nsver Came.

The second chapter in the suit
brought by Mrs. Ed Van Derveer to
compel her husband to support herself
and children was enacted this forenoon,
when the sherin's officers took charge
of the cigar and tobacco store operated
until few days ago under the firm
name OF Van Derveer & Griftlths. The
stock was seized under an attachment
and as prayed. for in her petition for
alimony.
A bill OF sale was recently filed con-
veying Mr.. Van Derveer's interests to
his partner, and in her suit Mrs Van
Derveer asks that this sale be declared
void on the ground that it was made
with fraudulent intent and to prevent
her from obtaining financial relief from
her husband. While the attachment is
on the whole stock, the interests OF Mr..
Griffiths are protected under the laws
of the state. 1t was necessary to attach
the entire contents Of the place. be-
cause. it is alleged, Mr. Van Derveer
owns an undivided half interest. A
and the store was not closed.
I! was the intention of Mrs. Van Der
veer's attorneys to have the attach
ment made Immediately after the filing
of the papers in her suit. But both the
owners have been absent from the city
and personal service could not be OBJ
;ained. AS they we're still absent. 1t wa.
decided to take chargs of the stock
Both Mr.. Van Derveer and Mr.. Grit
fiths returned to the city. however, soon
after the attachment was made.
In connection with the suit brought
by Mrs Van Derveer against her hus-
band it has developed that the letters
sent by the irate father OF one of the
Boone girls to the wives OF Mr.. Van
Derveer and his partner in that episode
never reached their intended destina-
ton, altho they bore special delivery
stamps. The reason therefor has beer
and satl. factorily ex-
planned TO Mrs. Van De..yeer. The let
lsters came on the Colorado specia
shortly after noon and the postofilce
clerk delegated with the duty OF deliv.
yering them failed to notice the Mr. or
each OF the envelopes. Surprising the
letters contained Important business
matters, he took them to the store
where Mr. Van Derveer recsipted fol-
both. Later the Boone gentleman
wrote, asking why his letters had not
been aswered. and these came to the
proper hands.
