A telegram was received here last
Friday evening announcing the death
that day, of DR.. S. E. Strong at Dulce,
New Mexico. DIR. Strong was for
many years a resident of Ironton, but
left here about eighteen months ago
for Flat River. He spent about six
months there, and then secured an ap-
pointment from Secretary of the In
terror Hitchcock as surgeon for the
Indians in the reservation at Dulce,
New Mexico. The DIR. had been in
poor health for some time past, and
the news oil his death vas not a sur
prise to those who knew of his con-
dition. DR.. Strong came to Pilot Knob
from St. Louis in 1886. He spent three
years in the practice there and then
removed to Ironton, where he re-
NAMED, with one or two slight inter-
missions, until the spring of 1900.
He had many friends here who hear
of his death with sorrow. Peace to
his ashes!
The Republican = Headlight has re-
ceived a communication from an excel
lent citizen of the neighborhood where
the recent murder of Thos. Hall oc
Cured disputing the statement James
Asher, who was killed by Hall, made
any attempt to draw a weapon and was
in fact unarmed at the time he was shot.
The writer also says that all of the
troubles between the Halls and Ashers
arose from a law suit resulting from a
tenancy of James Asher on Mrs. Halls
land several years ago. The statement
is also made that Asher was not partic-
ipating in the removal of distractions
from the road on Halls premises at the
time he vas killed. The Republican
Headlight has no interest in the contro-
versy, and the history of the affair as
given a couple of weeks ago was OBJ
tanned from disinterested persons who
claimed t o be familiar with the facts.
There are probaly two sides to the
story, with all concercd more or less at
fault.-Salem Repubtieam Headlight.
An exchange MARBLES thus: "'The
days have come, the sad
dest of the year. The small boy leaves
the swimming hole, the farmer stuffs
the steer. The urchin trudges off to
the puellets begin to lay, the
preacher gets a move on him, the coal
men have their day. The trees put on
their sombre hue, the grasshopper as
cends on high, the little ant it's cellar
fills, the topper calls for rye The
church oyster laughs in glee, for
his time has come; the girls have
appetites, the boys must spend
their 'mon,' and the meat barrel is
empty, and the butchers short on liver;
and the th~ougtoficy winter makes your
spinal column culver. And Johnny
gets his little gun aud sallies through
mud and stubble, and shoots the agri-
culturist colt and has no end of trouble.
The days are full of sunshine and the
are full of frost, and the house
is full of stove pipes and half the joint
are lost. o, spring time has its draw
backs but it doesn't have them all, but
the worst part of the year is just before
the fall".
The famous legal battle that has
been waging between the Southern
Missouri and the Mississippi River and
Bonnie Terre railroads since last May
was settled yesterday afternoon when
the commission appointed to determine
the character Of crossing gave its de-
cision in favor of a grade crossing both
at the Crawley switch and the main
line. The amount OF damage fixed
was $2500, of which $500 was on the
Crawley switch and $4,000 on the main
crossing, The points of the case have
been gone over in these columns until
onr readers are familiar Herewith.
Our local attorneys, Messrs Carter, |
Huff u Sleeth. for the NJ r. & B. I; and
Messrs Smith a. Anthony, have made
strong and persistent fights, and having
been on the OF action, have at all
times carried the brunt. The Southern
Missouri will, we are informed, deposit
with the Circuit Clerk damages assessed
and at once push their road through.
