La Croft C. Weldy was born at
Winchester, Randolph county, Ind,
Dec. %, 1S45. His father, Henry c.
Weldy, was of German extraction
and his mother, Mary A. (Crawford)
Weldy was of Irish descent. He was
educated in the public schools OF
Dayton, O., where his parents re-
moved in his infancy. Upon the
completion of his education he be-
gan his battle with the world. In
1861 he enlisted in the eighty-third
regiment, Ohio volunteers as drum
mer boy at the age of fifteen years.
and served three years, being hon.
orably discharged at the expiration
of his service. He next turned his
attention to some means of liveli-
hood. In his youth he had served
as a newsboy on the trains and af-
terward became sleeping car con-
ductor. He followed the railroad
business for awhile and emigrated
to Fl. Leavenworth in 1866, where
he engaged with the Kansas Stage
Co., and was employed in that en-
teprise until 1873, when he purchas-
ed the omnibus line at Baxter
Springs, where he remained two
years.
When the mining camp at Short
Creek (now Galena) started in 1877
Col. Weldy was among the first to
arrive, and since that time has been
familiar figure about the dig
gings" and has always taken very
prominent part in the life of the
community.
Col. Weldy's illness dates back
scarcely ten days, when he com.
planned of feeling badly and came
home from a hard trip over the
state attending to his duties as oil
inspector, aud decided to take
much needed rest. He has been
confined to his home since that
time, and living up to his Christian
Science belief of refusing medicinal
aid. Sunday evening at $40 o'clock
he told his wife he had a choking
sensation in his throat and lungs.
She raised him slightly from the
bed in order to relieve him, but his
head dropped and he sank back on
the soft pillows. Death beckoned
and he answered his stern sum-
mons.
Not only will he be missed BY his
host of friende in and aroun Galena
but as commander of the great
Baxter reunion he will be missed
still more. Many brave old COM
rade's wrinkled and time worn face
will be stained with tears when
they hear of the death of their be-
loved commander. No more will
his smile of welcome greet them as
they go to headquarters 10 register.
No more will they receive that hear
ty and brotherly handshake. No
more will they hear that loved voice
as he gave the order to "fall in"
No more will they receive that faith
erly scolding that they always get
if they don't hustle and get in line.
No, these things are of the past; he
is gone, gone to answer the last roll
call. Gone to receive his reward,
but old comrades, the parting will
be of short duration. Soon the bu-
gle will sound and you, too, will go
to meet your brave commander in
the far beyond.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at Sapp's Theatre in
Galena and the remains were inter
red in the Galens cemetery. There
was a large outpouring of people
to the services.
Col. Weldy left his wife and son
without dollar in the world, and
no insurance. He was at one time
a member of the A. o. U. W., but
dropped out some time ago.

ROBERTS CASE
 ON TRIAL TODAY.
Charge of Conspiracy to Ruin Walter Gregory's Reputation
 Given Hearing.

Little Rock, Nov. IF. John V. Roberts of Searcy will be arraign- ed this morning at 10 o'clock in Justice T. w. Wilson's court to answer to the charge of conspi- racy, upon which he was arrest ed about ten days ago, at Searcy. Roberts is charged with attempt to ruin the reputation of Walter Gregory, who was the principal witness for the prosecution in the trial of Roberts on a charge of grave robbery at Judsonia, in connection with the famous Lightle insurance case. Roberts, it is alleged, attempted to bribe an inmate of a resort in this city to place a watch in Gregory s pocket and then have Gregory arrested on a charge of larceny, claiming that he stole the watch from her.
 It is expected that Marie De We're, the woman whom Roberts is alleged to have attempted to bribe, will be one of the princi- pal witnesses for the prosecution in the trial today. Another wit ness will probably be J. V. Zim- merman, who claims to have sold Roberts the watch which was found in the possession of the De We're woman. Zimmerman states that Roberts came to his place of business accompanied by Dr. Lightle, and purchased the watch for SIP, saying that he wished to buy it for a friend in Argenta. Mir. Zimmerman states that Roberts promised to
 Id him check for the amount
 Then he returned to Searcy, but that he did not do so.
 Gregory will not appear as a witness today, it is stated, as he was not aware of the charges against Roberts until after the latter's arrest.

CHILDREN CAUSE
 SHOOTING SCRAPE.

Helena, Nov. 15. A shooting occurred Sunday night on the Cad Polk place, southwest of this city, in which Henry Greenwood was badly shot in the side and back with a charge of No. 4 shot. The trouble between Greenwood and a neighbor, named Albert Wise, both negroes, was the result of general fight among their children, which Wise had stopped. Greenwood's children had told him that Wise had him. self struck them, which enraged the father who went after his neighbor with an open knife, slashing Wise's coat number of times, but not hurting the man. Wise broke away, ran into the house, and secured his gun, with which he took shot at Greenwood, the shot taking effect in his antagonist s side and back. Both men were placed under arrest. Greenwood will recover.
