KILLED NEAR FORD
Lightning Strikes a Young Man
i'm Harvest Field
KILLING HIM INSTANTLY.
Ray and Roy Cobb, Twin
Brothers, Separated by
Death.

Lightning caused death in Ford
county on Saturday last, and separated
twin brothers who We're inseperable by
all things but death. Ray and Roy Cobb,
sons of Asa Cobb, who died last
year, and Charlie Bridgewater were
working in the harvest field
on the Bridgewater farm four miles south
of Ford, at the time the terrible affair
occurred. Ray Cobb was sitting on the
drivers seat and Roy Cobb and Charley
Bridgewater were in the header barge.
A thunder shower came up a little while
before quitting time in the evening.
The two boys in the barge were suddenly
blinded by a flash of lightning which
seemed to completely envelope them and
rendered nothing more until some time
later. Ray Cobb struck by the
lightning and killed instantly. One of
the horses he was driving was killed also.
The twin brothers, now 90 years of age
had been inseperabie from infancy, al
ways. as they grew up, playing together,
and as they became older they worked
side by side. AS much their bodies
were alike, their minds seemed still more
closely allied. 1t seemed almost that
the two sepeIate bodies were impelled by
one mind, and striking illustration of
this was given following Rays sudden
death. 1t is said that when Roy return

"Ray is dead.'' He was lying with his
back towards the dead brother and had
not been told of his fate. His grief was
terrible and in his frenzy he left the
others in the field and ran home to tell
his mother of the brothers death. The
affair seemed doubly sad 10 all who no

THE AFFAIRS OF THE CLUB WOMEN.

The Civic Improvement League
founded here by the ladies will keep up
their work and will do all in their power
to make the town more beautiful and
more healthful. The ladies have re
ceived the assurance of the members of
the council that that body will assist
them to the extent of its powers. The
ladies desire to build up a sentiment for
a cleaner city, and for all little improve
ments which may add to the general ap-
pearance of the place. One motive just
at present is to have the town looking
nice during the big reunion here month
after next, when there will be several
hundred visitors here. The improve
ment club consists of a large number of
ladies whose homes are in different parts
of town, and each member will set good
example by placing barrels or some kind
of receptacIes in their yards where all
papers other trash may be gathered
and prevented from blowing to the
streets, alleys or neighbcr's lots.
The ladies have also been planting
some flowers in the park and will do
what they can to keep up improve ments
in Dodge City's beautiful grove and
public grounds.
The ordinance which provides that
stock shall not be allowed to run loose in
town is one of the city laws which the
club desires to have enforced.

NOW CORPORATION COUNSEL"
Title of Attorney for the District
Changed by Code.

Under an amendment to the District code
just adopted by the Senate and House the
title Of the city solicitor has been changed
to Corporation counsel" The officer was
known previous to January last. when the
code went into effect, as the attorney for
the District. The office is held by Mr.. A.
B. Duvall and within six months he has
been known by three separate titles. Mr..
Duvall Is the law officer Of the District
government and advises the Commission
ers on all legal questions as well as rep
resenting them in causes before the local
courts.
When the new code was being considered
1t was deemed advisable to change the
title Of the attorney for the District on ac-
count of its similarity to that Of the United
States district attorney and the frequent
mistakes made In regard to the identity OF
the two offices. The title OF city solicitor
was agreed upon by the code committee and
adopted with the remainder of the laws
The District Commissioners however, con-
sidered city solicitor a misnomer, as Mr..
Duvall Is the law officer for the entire Dis
trict. which Is a corporation. The Commits
sioners therefore recommended to Congress
change from city solicitor to corporation
counsel and this IL Mr.. DuvalPs newest
title.
With his new title Mr.. Duvall also re-
ceiyes raise in salary from $4,000 to q, 500
year. the latter provision being made in
the Distrtct appropriation bill.

1.-THE vocabulary of encomium fails in the
task of furnishing expressions to clothe the
feeling of mankind. His life and history
| have been told in the tongues of all civil
lied peoples and are the themes of song
and poetry. Therefore, it is a work of su-
pererogation to attempt any eulogy, and
shall not do it.
II knew him WELL I have seen him in
victory and in defeat. And on all occasions
he manifested the same absolute dead level
of persistent confidence in himself and the
people Of the country. His great motto
seemed to be-. DO your best and leave the
rest to God"
Gen. Grosvenor said that no matter what
duty or position devolved upon Mckinley
he always measured up to its full possibili-
ties He contrasted the death of Washing
ton and Lincoln with that of Mckinley
and spoke of the condition of the country
at the respective periods. When Lincoln
died, he said, the question was asked
whether his death would not signalize the
end of the experiment of liberty and free
government, for when the office was
| handed over to his successor nothing was
| clear. Then there rang out a voice, saying,
God reigns. and the government at Wash
ington still lives" and hope came back to
the people.
When Mckinley was assassinated," said
| the speaker, THIS country was shaken to
! its foundations. In the horror of the crime
people thought of other assassinations Of
| the kind. and wondered how many events
of like nature the country could stand
under.
Then another reassuring voice was heard
at Buffalo," he said. 81 do not repeat the
words, but the substance was this: II bow
| before the will Of God. and take up the
| burden. promise the people that the pol
| icies Of the nation shall proceed along the
| lines adopted by William Mckinley Then
confidence sprang up and turbulence
ceased.
Socially and personally I loved william
| Mckinley. Politically I admired him. As
| President I honored him. He was a good
| politician. He knew how to dominate
events SO as to bring about the best results
| for the country. But he never yielded up the
right to do it. and he never violated
promise"
In closing. he declared that the memory
Of the late President would live fresh in

ments erected to his name have crumbled
