TWO FAMILY TRAGEDIES.
Morris County Homes Where Death

Kansas City, resides at this place he
has wife and 1wo children. IN the
event of his death from his Injuries, the
climax Of misfortures, pathetic IN the
extreme, viii have been reached IN the
Behring family
f. T. Behring is The father Of nEe
children. His youngest daughter, Adam,
a bride of only a few days, was claimed
by death about two months ago. Two
weeks from her demise his Oldest daugn-
ter of Kansas City, died and now he is
compelled to yield to the inevitable and
see his only son taken from him.
F. T. Behring has been county treas
urer of Morris county for many years
and a more efficient official never has
been elected to any Office. Last TAN MS
daughter, Kate, was elected to this Of
flee and has entered upon her duties.
Fortune seem to await them on every
hand and a happier, more contented
home could not have been found in
Council Grove. But alas. death has rem
dered it a house Of mourning.
So passing strange are these Affections
that it is the subject of conversation
by the entire city and county, for none
are better known and more highly es-
teeEned than the Behring family.

family, living west of town. Jesse
