Great surprise was occasioned Satur-
day when Mt. Ayr people learned that
Ezra G. McMaster had been made the
defendant in $4,000 damage suit for
seduction, the plaintiff being Miss
Mabel Groves, of Liberty township.
The papers were served Monday, but
attempts had been made by the attor-
neys for both sides to keep the matter
from the public.
The plaintiff, who is 1S years of age,
is a daughter Of Andrew Groves, who
lives six miles northeast Of Mt. Ayr
She was employed in the McMaste1
home as a domestic for about two
months, beginning last December. She
is expected to become mother in Sep
tember. Her attorneysa are e. H. String

Arthur D. Wharton Is Dead.

At the home of his mother, Mrs. Thos.
Teale, in this city, occurred early Tues
day morning, the death of Arthur ID.
Wharton, at the age of 80 years, II
months and q days.
Arthuc Wharton was born in this city
on August %, 1868, and with the excep-
tion of the past few years his lie was
spent in the city Of his birth. He at
tended the Leon schools and was always
very popular with his schoolmates and
friends. After reaching maturity he
spent several years in Colorado, and
also clerked in stores in this city and
at Lamont. About two years ago he
located at Atchison, ka5., and for a
time travelled for the McClelland Cigar
Co. For a number Of years he has
suffered from stomache trouble, and
after being sick at Atchison for some
time he came back to Leon about four
weeks ago to visit his mother, but was
so weak he took to his bed at once and
has been gradually failing ever since.
Arthur had many warm friends who
are sorry indeed that his life should be
cut off at this early age. His mother,
Mrs. Thos. Teale, is sadly bereaved,
her other son, James Wharton, dying
only little over a yea ago. In addi-
ton to the mother one sister, Mrs. Zula
Peters, of Chicago, is left to mourn his
death, and had been here nursing him
for several weeks.
The funeral was held from the family
residence yesterday afternoon, at
O'Clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. W. ii. llsley pastor of the
Presbyterian church.
The floral tributes were. many and
beautiful, testilying in mute language
the love and esteem of his many friends.
The interment was in the Leon GENE
terry.
