drunk, so that his irregular motions
might excite no suspicion, and sud-
denly drawing a revolver he turned
on Delap Delap thought his gun
was loaded aud snapped it at the fell
low. The burglar saw his advantage
and shot at Delap four or five times,
only the first shot hitting him. The

his shoulders. DR.. Ryland dressed
his wound which was very painful
but not dangerous.

Alfred Anderson, Swede, and
James Anderson, an American, miners
at the Midway mine, had trouble
Wednesday night which resulted very
seriously for the former. The state

of the difficulty differ They met in
front Of Ed Pennington's house
where the fight occurred. Alfred
was stabbed in the abdomen twice,
both cuts penetrating to the cavity.
One Of them was large enough TO
let out the entrails. Drs Tucker
and Fredendall were called and after
replacing the entrails sewed up the
cuts. OF course it is impossible tC

William B. Hale.

Worshipful Master, Wardens and
Brothers of Lexington Lodge 149,
A. F. & A. M.
1t cannot always be truthfully said
"Short is the race from the cradle to
the grave" " for many a long and
weary year. is required for some to
reach the goal to which we are all
rapidly tending. The members Of
this lodge are reminded of this fact
in the death of our late brother,
William B. Hale, who departed this
life on the End day of February, 1908,
in the SD year of his age. Brother
Hale died as he had lived, loved and
respected by all those who knew him
best and who place proper estimate
on true character and who admire
simplicity and modesty in life aud
conduct.
Your committee was not able to
ascertain when nor where Brother
Hale was made a Mason, but the
records of old Lafayette lodge show
that he was elected to membership in
that lodge on the 14th day Of Sep
tember, l847; that he dimitted on
the 11th day of March, 1850, whea
(as we believe) he started TO Cal
ifornia along with many other stir
ring, active Young men in search of
fortune. We are not informed as to
how long he was gone, but the records
show that he was again elected to
membership in Lafayette lodge Jan
uary 18th, 1868 Lafayette lodge
having consolidated with Lexington
lodge Brother Hale became member
of this lodge and was in full fellow.
ship at the date of his death. This
record shows that he was Mason
for more than ffty-six years, and
though his Masonic life Qike that OF
many others was checkered by the
smiles and frowns of tickle fortune,
no stain or blemish ever marred his
character as a man or Mason. He
outlived nearly all his early com.
panions and brethren and now sleeps
in an honorable grave in the silent
city of our dead. In the life and
death of Brother Hale we can safely
say, "The will OF God is accomplished
So mote it be. Amen"
Therefore be it resolved, That in
the death of Brother William B. Hale
our lodge mourns the loss of "a gooC
man and true" his family a faithful
and devoted husband and our com
munity an old and honorable citizen
Resolved, That the sympathy o.
Une lOdge be rendered TO his oereaveC
family and friends and that a page u
our records be dedicated to hi
memory, upon which this memorla
shall be recorded.
Resolved, That certified copy o
this memorial and these resolution
be sent to his family and copy sen
to the city papers with the reques
that they be published.

ticular moral or morals about it, is
good enough to print, says the
Dunlap Herald.
"Jobny, the only son, boy Of
six years, has in some unaccounta-
bic manner become possessed of a
fine vocabulary of profane words
and is apt to use them at inoppor-
tune times. One day when the
new preacher was coming to din
ner, mamma agreed to give JON
ME fine pony ride if he would
not swear during dinner. When
the soup came on, the min lister
gravely announced: Il can't eat
soup and the girl was promptly
called to remove all the soup as
the hostess, out Of courtesy would
not eat it either. Next came NUT
ton, and the preacher declared
that mutton did not agree with
him. Mary was called to remove
the mutton. As she was leaving
the room with the last plate, John
ny, who was getting fearfully hum
cry, electrified the company by
calling, Mary, bring in some
eggs; maybe the d-n fool can
suck an egg.''

McCabe must be paid for his work
