lNTlMATED THAT WELL KNOWN
PERSONS OF MILLER MAY
BE IMPLICATED.
SOME CONFESSIONS txPtcIfo

A WOMAN MAY 1E IN.
voLvEo.

Miller, S. D., Jan. 19.-Pretty Hattie
Pitcher, the school teacher who was
mysteriously w'a:nG:.G o. 2 pistol hull
let on the night Wilbur G'irk, the
clerk at Collins drug store was held
up, is in Jail accused of direct COM
plicity in the bold attempted robbery.
It. is intimated that the handsome
young woman may have had the assls-
tance of we'll known persons in her al
legged crime. The warrant upon which
she was arrested was sworn to by half
a iozen prominent business men, and
accuses Miss Pitcher Of assault with
intent to commit felony and with ad.
n4inistering ether to Wilbur Quirk to
enable herself and other persons un-
known to commit robbery.
Startling Developments,
likely to involve with Miss Pitcher
men who have not before been men,
tioned in connection with the case, the
authorities say, can be expected.
When arrested by the sheriff the
beautiful girl protested her innocence.
but lost not whit of her dignity. She
led the officer along the railroad track
to a point half a mile east of town and
there told him where to find revol-
yer. This he secured, and Miss Pilch-
er told him that it was with that
weapon she. was shot in the right
shoulder.
Drops of human blood made trail
from the rear of the drug store to the
Henshaw hotel. She says the blood
was not drawn by the bullet that
struck her. ~.
She declared that the shooting was
accidental, but refused to answer when
asked where she was when wounded
Saturday she had declared that it was
at the Henshaw hotel, but now she
Declines to Talk Of It.
The authorities declare that confess
sions will soon be secured. not alone
from the pretty prisoner, but also from
sources the knowledge of which will
startle the town. More arrests may be
made to-day.

of discussion in this vicinity. s
A suggestion that his ;assailants

Mrs. Elizabeth Ricketts,, departed this lille
on March 10, 1904, at her home near Poto'
mac, Md, after an illness Of pneumonia
lasting nine days, aged "a years.
She was the wife of the late Washington
Ricketts,, who died 81 years ago. Since the
death OF her husband she devoted her life 10
the care and comfort of her children, and
by her unusual energy was very successful.
OF kind and sympathetic nature she was
beloved by all who knew her and was very
popular in the community In which she
lived. For several years previous TO her
death she was in delicate health, but did not
appear TO lose interest In her life work. She
was the mother of ten children, seven OF
whom, two sons and five daughters, survive
her. During her last illness she was very
patient and resigned TO her fate. Much TO
her qualification, and 10 that of her chill
dren, she was visited by Rev. W. +. Locke,
of the Rockville Methodist Church South
who prayed with her and gave her the con.
solations OF faith 10 God.
On Sunday morning, the 18th instant, her
many friends and relatives gathered at heI
home TO follow her remains To the Rockville
! Baptist Church, where funeral services were
held at II o'clock. Alter the service her re
mains were taken to Derwood and laid u
rest in the old family burying ground, &C
cording TO her request.

Oh, how we miss you,
But where your place Is vacant here,

In Memoriam.

Archibald L. Mullican was born in Mont
gomery county, near Jamestown, March 20,
| 1874, and died at Brink, near Germantown,
on March 10, 1904, of pneumonia, after an
illness Of ten days.
He leaves family of five daughters and
four sons-Mary F., wife OF d. A. Mans
field; Lucy c., wife Of Spencer NJ. Purdum /;
Emma c., wife of Edgar A. Biggs; Pearl E.
and Beulah L., j. Spencer, Leslie M, VIM.
B. and Thomas E. The mother of this
family was taken on October %, 1901, and
was most estimable lady, as well as de-
voted wife and mother in her home.
As father, Mr.. Mullican was kind, con-
slderate, bountiful in his provision and ten
der in his love and care of his children.
The impress of the beautiful home.life led
by him and his good wife was always mani
fest in the gentle disposition, the modest
manners and the courtly conduct OF their
children wherever they appeared in public.
Though both the father and mother have
been taken their gracious influence has been
left with their children as lasting legacy
more precious than silver and gold.
His neighbors seem TO vie with each other
to excel in praise of him as man OF the
true Samaritan sort. No sacrifice seemed
too great for his willingness, no night too
dark and cold for his readiness, no man too
lowly for his helpfulness. 1t required no
importantly or pleading to enlist his aida
mere knowledge of another's need was SUM-
Gent for him to offer helping hand.
That such man and his family should
be found in the church of Christ is the
natural conclusion. Years ago he and his
wife became openly and actively identified
with the Neesvlle Presbyterian Church
and one by one their children followed them,
and they have always been ready to do what
they could. 1t has been the rarest occasion
for years when there was any kind of ser
vice at the church at which his family was
not well represented. No appeal was ever
made TO him in vain for help in the general
work and welfare of the church.
The funeral, conducted by his pastor, was
held In the church on Saturday, the 18th
instant, and 1t was attended by hundreds Of
friends from far and near, who gathered to
honor him whom they loved In life, mourned
In death and committed In hope to tomb in
the church. yard The vast number OF peo-
pie present gave witness to his worth among
his iellow-men. The floral contributions
were exceptionally rare Tor one passing out
of the ranks OF private life. Every heart
seemed impressed with sincere sorrow oyer
what was regarded as a personal loss In Me
death OF him who was counted an upright
man, an excellent citizen, a kind neighbor
and faithful friend.
A Friend.
