Death Came at 95.

A telegram received by c. c. O'Neal 1 on Tuesday announced the death oi Charles G. O'Neal, which occurred on i that day at Republic. Mo.
 The death of Mir. O'Neal removes one of the oldest and in many respects one of the most remarkable men in the southwest. He was in his 955h year and until few years ago enjoyed as good health and activity as the average man does below the age of fifty. He was, at the time of his death, the oldest old timer of this country having resided practically all his life in Carroll county l up to the civil war. During the 50's and cos he resided upon and owned the land upon which is now situated the Yocum roller mill. He was an associate of the late John Gaskins, the noted hunter and trapper. The two have hunted together and killed bear upon the present site ! of Eureka Springs.
 1 MT. O'Neal located in Green county, Mo-, soon after the war and engaged in the farming and stock business and grew wealthy. He owned at the time of his death q farm of 300 acres near Re- public which is worth $50 per acre. He owned also 16o acres in the Hale Bar rens in this county, the title of which has been in his name every since he lived here. MT. O'Neal was quite eccen- tric. He had only his way of doing things. A few years ago he was in- duced to dig up about eight thousand dollars in gold which some of his chil- dren suspected he had planted many years before.
 A remarkable thing about MT. O'NeaPs family was that his wife lived to be almost as old as he did, she having died about eight years ago. The two were the parents of 13 children, Ii oi whom are living to this good day, the two oldest having passed away after reaching mature years. The youngest member of the family is now above 50. Of the living, two are residents of this county. They are w. J. O'Neal o1 Yocum and Mrs. W. w. Davis of Ber- ryville. The homes of the others are in Lawrence and Green counties in Mis- souri. Before MT. O'Neal's death the family covered five generations, he having several great, great grand chil- dren.
 The relationship of the O'Neal family to the people of Carroll county is very extensive, there being some degree o1 kinship in perhaps several hundred families here. Taking Green Forest for instance, Charles G. O'Neal is the grandfather of c. c. O'Neal and Prof. H. H. Davis, the great, great uncle of E. M. and T. w. Goforth of the Green
 Forest Milling Go. and the publishers of THE TRIBUNE. All told, the descend ents of the O'Neal family form pretty good per cent of the population of Greer Forest.

CLAIM ND CRIME
WIS CHARGBD
ATTORNEYS for thO Defense
Attack Indictment in the
United States Court

In the United States Court this mo1n-
ing argument was heard on the de-
murrer IN the case OF the Government
VS.. Carmin Melh, GravanO ID. Fillipo
and Saveno POsten, alias Vita Spera-
Henry c. Conrad and Harry Emmons
Represented the defense, and William
Michael Byrne the court
The argument of the defense on The
demurrer in part is as follows:
First-Tho offense being a felony un-
der the statutes, the Indictment is IA
tally defective in not charging the Of
fence was committed 'feloniously."
No other word or circumlocution will
supply it's place.
Second-The Indictment does not
aver that any one of the defendants
at the time OF the alleged acts at that
time. OF any other time, obtained, ac-
cepted or received any certificate OF
citizenship as prohibited by the act Of
Congress. Therefore, the Indictment
fails to aver any offense against the
United States by the defendants
Third-The defendants are not
charged with conspiring to obtain on
receive false or fraudulent certificates
under section 5,425. neither are they
charged with conspiring to make false
or fraudulent statements by reason of
which said false certificates are alleged
to have been issued. The sole aver
ment against the defendants is that by
their conspiring and inducements twen-
ty-Ono persons obtained certificates of
citizenship. The offense defined is the
obtaining or receiving false certificates
and there is nothing in tine section
which makes it an offense to aid. abet
or induce a person to obtain or receive
"a false or fraudulent certificate.
Fourth-Briefy stated. the said in
dictment charged no crime.
In reply Mr.. Byrne cited numerous
authorities, and concluded by saying
that the demurrer ought to be over
ruled and Tn eindictment sustained.
