Obituary.

Again has the Death Angel
visited the home of w. r. and
Mollie Tilton, claiming as his
own their precious baby boy
Perry.
This bright little jewel was
permitted to bless their home
with sunshine and JOY for only
about year. His stay on earth
was short and yet he was here
long enough to find his way into
many hearts from which his
dear little manage will not soon
be effaced.
How sadly he will be missed
in the home from which>he was
taken. In Mamma daily round
of duties everything must be a
reminder of her darling. The
little ones have no employment
since baby brother is gone. When
Papa returns from days work
no baby voice lisps his name;
when sister and brother return
from school no little arms are
stretched out in loving welcome.
But, dear parents, brother and
sister, God has seen fit to take
your little one to Himself which
He has done with unspeakable
tenderness. His great heart
yearning for your welfare as His
children. He gave and he has
has taken away. In fearful yet
cheerful submission you have the
privilege to look up and say:
blessed be the name of the
Lord
Your little ones are safe in the
arms of Jesus and methinks |
can almost hear their baby voices
singing around the great white
throne and calling back to loved
ones to come on.
Sweet little darlings.
Light of the home;
Waiting for some one,
Reckoning come.
Bright as the sunbealhs,
Pure as the snow:
Anxiously watching,
Mother, for you.
Grieye not, dear loved ones as
those who have no hope. for
though you cannot call your dar-
ling back. you can go to him.
May God bless, comfort and sus-
tain you in the bereayement.

Aitercation Took Place In The
Court EiouSe SATURDAYS f9ot
Seriously Wounded-i1eeper IS
Being Tried.

At about 9 O'Clock Saturday
morning q difficulty occurred at
the Court House between Sheriff
B. ". Bailey and J. NJ. Leeper
in which the Sheriff received
several painful eHts from knife
in the hands of Leeper. The
affair was very quiet and but few
knew anything of it till some
time after it had occurred. Just
what caused the difficulty is not
known as ali parties are nun on
the subject. but it is stated that
it came about over a board bill,
Leeper having boarded at the
Comrade hotel. which is owned
by the Sheriff. 1t is also stated
that there was i'll feeling already
existing between the men before
the board bill came up.
Sheriff Bailey was sweeping out
his Office at the court house when
he was approached by Mr.. Lee
per and it is stated that Leeper
began abusing him. He struck
Leeper and q fight ensued, Lee
per using a knife. Some men in
the court house was attracted by
the scufiie and soon parted the
men but not before the sheriff
had received several cuts. DIR.
Z. II. Payne was summoned and
as soon as the Sheriff could reach
his hotel an examination was
made. He was found to be cut
across the bowels, a stab in the
left thigh, and cut on the back
and hip. Only the stab IN the
thigh is thought to be dangerous
as it is deep and ugly, but COM
plieations could set up which
would make matters serious.
Mr.. Leeper was at once arrest
ed and placed in jail to await the
outcome of the Sheriff s wounds
and will be kept there until the
Sheriff is out of danger. The
affair is unfortunate as both men
1ere prominet in local business
affairs and are among our best
citizens.
As The Sentinel goes to press
(TRntsday) Lseper is being given
preliminary hearing and prof.
ably will be released on bond, as
the Sheriff is getting along fairly
