DrOpprd Dead.

Major Shorter, a familiar old negro
in this county, and who was released
from the peniientiary on January 10,
1904. after serving term of two years
for manslaughter, dropped dead on the
front porch of Aunt Julia NEVIS home
in the western part Of town Monday
night about : O'Clock.
A coroner's inquest was held Tues
day morning, in the undertaking shop
of Stevens y Co, at which very little
evidence could be addueed bearing
directly upon the cause of death.
Shorter is supposed to have arrived
in town on the CPS train from Little
Rock, as he had conductors hat
check marked 40, in his hat, and was
seen about $50 at the lunch counter IN
Nelson & Cos. saloon. In talking to
some old friend there he remarked
that he had been sick; said nothing,
however, about beiig i'll at the time.
After leaving Nelson Il Co.'S, Short
CT must have gone direct on his way to
j. w. MOore's, tcolored in the coun-
try, that being his destination, and
mnst have been taken deathly sick just
as lie reached Aunt Julia Nevis
house, and went in there to rest or get
them to help hin. H. reached the
porch and fell or threw himself upon
it and rolled in agony foY perhaps five
or SIX minutes, according to the fright
ened women, and then died.
The verdict of the jlry was that he
came 10 his death from unknown
causes.
He carried his release from the peni-
Tertiary signed bY r. B. Hogins. He
was sent up from Cross county. The
only other property found on his per
son was a hymn book, a peck etbook
a nickel, aud two or three slips of pa.
per bearing the addresses OF colored
preachers, and bottle containing a
liquid supposed to be gin, but none OF
lbe jury could be induced to satisfy
themselves OF this fact by tasting it,
The remains were buried by thu
county.

Dlslocated Her Shoulder

Mrs. Johanna Soderh0lm. of Fergus
Falls, MIMI, fell and disloeated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back
IN place as soon IS possible, but it was
quite sore and panied her very much.
lier son mentioned that he had seen
Chamberlain Pain Balm advertised for
spralns and soreness and she asked him
to buy her bottle of it, which he did. 1t
quickly relieved her and enabled her to
sleep which she had not done for several
days. The son was so much pleased with
relief it gave his mother that he has since
recommended it to many others. For sale

Mr. Quick was not there. Miss Van

Yes.

sticks of kindng To this, with practised
hand. she added a selected piece OF hardwood
and two neat chunks of soft coal. Then
surveying the arrangement with pride, she
drew her chair before the fireplace placed
her feet on the fender and with a pleasurabie
sense of warmth and comfort stealing over
her began to read.
Two hours later Mrs. Parker's sister hustled
in.

The fact OF the return Of the walking

for II must be approaching j. years
since walking sticks We're used, and not

rule than the top" and, held In this

Travelled more amidships when the ac-

was thrust under the left arm where
IL remained for some years The ad-
vent OF the curved or crooked handle
had it's inevitable result. Instinctively
man wanted 70 hook II upon something,
and, finding his left arm close at hand
stratghtway hung II up and created

discover the perforated condition of the
