SETH WARD DIES SUDDENLY.
and a Wealthy Man-Forty-One
Year without Shaving.

Seth Ward, one of the pioneers OF
Jackson county, and the father Of
Hugh c. Ward, former Kansas City
police commissioner, died at his home,
two and one-half miles southwest Of
Westport. Mr.. Ward was SO years old,
and death is believed to have result
ed from his advanced age. Although
his general health was good, Mr.. Ward
had been feeble for two or three years,
and had been under the care Of a
nurse.
Even in his last years Mr.. Ward re
tanned possession of his mental facul~
ties. He was a man of great wealth,
the foundation of which had been laid
in the '40s, when he was an Indian
trader on the western plains. He spent
many years living with the Indians,
knew intimately the early settlers Of
western Missouri, and shared in the
development of Jackson county In a
period which %antedated the Santa Fe
trail. Mr.. Ward was born in Camden
county, Va, March 4, 1920.
In 1855 Mr.. Ward was appointed suit
Ter in the army by Jefferson Davis,
then secretary of war. He had rs
wagons in his train, and his sales were
enormous. For five years he lived in
Nebraska City with a lIpe of travel be-
tween Laramie and that point.
During the war Mr.. Ward was a
southern sympathizer. He was on his
way from Laramie to Kansas City
when he learned of the battle of Bull
Run. In a conversation a few years
ago Mr.. Ward said in referring to
those times: "My wife, to whom / had
been married only a few months, vas
with me, and l told her I would lever
shave until the ~confederacy had won
it's freedom. 1t didn't win, and now l
am glad of it, but / have kept my
promise about my whiskers."
Of the American Indian, with whom
he in the pioneer days became init
mately acquainted, Mr.. Ward once
said: "In his native state he was the
most unselfish, self-sacrificing and
kindly creature that God ever made.
If the Indian became treacherous the
white man taught it to him. AS 1
knew him he vas one of natures no.
blemen."

"a Dream" Says Dawson.
Frank Dawson, who killed Annie
Hartman and shot Abe Hughes at a
dance near Madison, was taken to Ma

roe county. He went by way of Mon

myra. In manner he differs widely
from Fred Strube, who was captured
at Macon some time ago. Strube was

over his predicament, burdened with a
terrible story, and seemingly anxious
to tell it in all its hideous details.

brother the next morning. "It had no
grudge against them whatever" said
Dawson, "and wouldn't have thought
of raising my hand against either one
of them if I knew what I was doing.
Why, I didn't even know Hughes was
