Sam'l Kennedy snd E. r. Kennedy. And
after viewing the body of the said DR.. Wal
ter B. Wine, and from all the evidence
before them, upon their oaths do say, that
the said body came to its death by blows
inflicted upon the head sufficient to crush
the SKULL by parties unknown to them,
they being in the State of Montana, where
the act of violence was committed. Given
under our hands this 18th day OF January,
1903.
The funeral cortege then proceeded
to Middle River Dunkard church near
New Hope, where the remains were a
second time buried, Rev: Sam'l Driver
conducting the service, during which
he announced to the congregation the
finding of the jury; an extraordinary
procedure, but justified by an extra
ordinary occasion.
Dupuyer is small town of 300 souls
remotely situated in Teton county,
northern Montana, 80 miles distant
from railroad and 80 miles from a
telegraph Office, which place. however,
is reached by telephone. But even
this remoteness from civilization does
not account for the sheriff, the coro-
ner, the jury, the undertaken and the
community, suppresslng the facts Oh
a brutal murder. The only common
dable feature in the Use is the one man
of conscience and nerve, friend or
the deceased, who dared write the
Wines'a letter, disclosing the fact that
Coroner Stern had been at bitter en-
nifty with DR.. Wine, the result of
recent political contest for the otf1ce OF
coroner, in which both men were candl-
dates. This letter advised an examl-
nation of the body and left the infer
ence that the coroner may have been
implicated in the crime.
DIR. Wine come from family of our
best people and is widely connected,
being related to the YOunts, Brewers
and other prominent families. who
have already begun proceedings look
ing to the apprehension and punish
ment of these murderers. Deceased IS
survived by his mother, Mrs. Susan
Wine; five sisters, Mrs. A. Henry
owberman, Mrs David Brewer aud
Miss Ida Wine, of this county; Mrs.
Frantz, of Kansas; and Mrs. Emma
Zvler Of Hagerstown. Md; and four
brothers, John H., Elmer and Aldine
of this county, and Chas. OF California.
Deceased was skilled physician,
having graduated from the University
of Maryland, and from the University
of Colorado, and was in the enjoyment
of a lucrative practice at the time OF MS
death. Hehad for some years resided
in Alaska and at various places in
Montana, but since June 1900 had been
located at Dupuyer. He was popular
and highly esteemed there as was at
tested by the strong support be recelv-
ed in his recent contest for the office
of coroner, and by the resolutions of
respect adopted by his lodge and for
warded to his bereave1 people here.
DR.. Wine spent few weeks at his old
home here years ago, visiting his
mother and relatives in this nelghbor
b cd. While here he was called in con-
suItatlon with Dr. Arbuckle over the
infant son of Jno. K. Morris which after
wards died from inexplicable causes.
The doctor was 81 years of age, man
of fine physique, was genial and ana
BILE in his manner, and was generally
popular with the people of this COM
munity. "A. .. IL.

and interesting occasion. The vete-
rams were out in larger number than

ton Rifles with full ranks acted as

ceeded by the Stopewall Brigade band.
they made striking parade from the
Camp Hall to the church where they
heard capital discourse from Chap
lain Scott, who had an immense con-

The choir sang sweet voluntary
and Miss Elsie Hamilton gave beau
tiful and appropriate solo which de-
lighted every one.
The Daughters of the COnfeGeracy
were also out in force and all who were
present will long remember the i'm
presslye occasion.

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr.. Brock is a dignifed old
gentleman, showing few signs Of de-
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre-
served, and it shows that the date Of his
birth was written ia years ago.
Surely q few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had III
years of experience to draw from, would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
a double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December II, 1898, and also the
| Chicago-Times Herald of same date.

This centenarian is an ardent friend OF

"One of the things have found

the climate. For ia years have

changes in the climate and temperature.
