for the past seven years employed
on the farm now owned by Robert
Stewart, died about 9 O'Clock Mon
day morning. He had been sick
less than a week with Inflammation
of the bowels. It was not until
Friday that Jim, as he was fami-
liarly known, became seriously i'll.
and DR.. Gibson, who was attending
him, called in DR.. Schlegel on Sat
nrday evening. They spent about
three hours in trying to help the
patient, but could only give tempo
srary relief. On Sunday morning
thestWo doctors held consultation
and decided that the only chance
for the patient was an operation.
DR.. Penhall of Morton was then.
called and in the afternoon the three
doctors performed an operation,
which resulted in removing a
growth from the intestines. The
patient was too weak, however, and
passed away at the time stated
above.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, Rev +. ].

mise was the fact that the wife OF
her brother, Col. Thos. Mcmillan,
was in a very critical condition at
the same time, owing to an attack OF
pneumonia and hence her brother
was unable to be here.

JIM Washington, as he was known
by all the countryside, was about %
years old at the time of his demise.
Was probably born at Milford, Va, the
place his mother now lives at an ad-
vanced age, she being a slave prior to
the civil war. At the age Of ten years
his father died, and ssJimn went to
work for the Knopf family, with
whom he came to Redwood Falls about
ten years ago. Seven years ago he
commenced working for Donald Stew
art, now deceased, on which farm
he continued to work until stricken
down by death. He was hard work
ing negro, very apt and unusually good
at taking care of horses. He was
favorite with all, especially the young
people, as he was always ready to fur
snish his share of music at dance Or
party He was particularly fond of
guitar music, and would sit for hours
at time playing his guitar and sing
ing negro melodies "JimD was very
thoughtful of his mother and sent her
money at frequent intervals, and at
each Christmas a barrel of -four was
received by her from him. With his
spare money he purchased home for
her at Milford, where she now lives.
About a year ago he visited at his old
home and saw his relatives for the last
time. Besides his mother, one brother,
who is locomotiye fireman in Vir-
ginia, and six sisters, four of them
married, survive him. The relatives
were telegraphed of the death, but up
to the time of holding the funeral nc
word had been received from them.

they had the murderer spotted. His
name was Jamison, and the quarrel
was over the lease of the farm, and the
club with which he had delivered the
blow, having lost his temper, but not
meaning to kill, was found in his
house. More than that, he broke down
and made full confession, and when
the assizes came on he stood in the
dock in my place. Nevertheless in set
ting me at liberty the judge did it
grudgingly and with warning that
my crimes must sooner or later find me
out, and | was scarcely clear Of the
courtroom when the Inundated and
chagrined police overhauled me and
said:
1T is just possible that you did not
commit this crime, but only because
somebody else got ahead Of you. We
know you had planned to do it and are
a dangerous man to be roaming about,
and if you are not outside the county
by sundown yod shall be run in on sus-
picion."
Jamison was hung for the killing,
and long confession was left in writ
ing over his own hand, but there were
scores of people who still believed that
t'the tramp" had something to do in
some way with that murder.

a neighboring farmer named Saunders

went to the barn, and, being tired and
sleepy, was soon in dreamland. How
