DEATH OF CHARLES j. HEISE.


against typhoid fever and subse-
quent kidney and abscess troubles
for more than nine weeks, Charles
]. Heise passed away at his home
in Mingona township last Wednes-
day, December Is, 1905, at II
o'clock A. M. The fever was con-
quered three weeks before his death
but other troubles set in and the
fever attack left him in such
weakened condition that he was
not able to battle against the sub
sequent complications.
A brief funeral service was held
from the family home on Thursday
morning, conducted by Rev. Frank
c. Ward, pastor of the Baptist
church Of this city, after which
the remains were taken to Lecomp-
ton, Kansas, his former home, for
interment. Mrs. Heise was physi-
cally unable to accompany the re-
mains.
This is as sad a death as we have
ever been called upon to report.
A wife and three small girls are
left husbandless and fatherless, the
youngest baby only few weeks
old. The long sickness of both
husband and wife has been great
hardship on the family and it would
require more than mere words to
comfort the bereft family in their
very dark hour.
Mr.. Heise was man in the prime
of life. He was alb out IS years OF
age and-exceptionally strong and
healthy before his sickness and to
this fact is due his wonderful fight
for life. He has not lived among
us long but during his residence
among us he won the friendship
and good will of all his neighbors
and a great many people in the
city and different portions of the
county. He lived in Barber coun-
ty about three years. A good citi-
zen is gone.
Mrs. M. Z. Elliott died at the
residence of her daughter, Mrs. V.
S. Cook, ahalf mile east of the city,
Monday night, December Is, at
1850 o'clock. Mrs. Elliott was bed
fast less than week, but has been
in very poor health for some time.
Funeral services will be held al
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
this (Wedn esday) afternoon at Z
o'clock. Rev. w. M. Covert, Pas
tor of the Presbyterian church, will
conduct the services.
The deceased is survived by four
sons and one daughter, Mrs. Cook,
| F. D. Elliott, P. F. Tarwater of this
place, and two sons living at dis
tance.
Mrs. Elliott was 70 years of age.
She was kind, generous and pleas
ant lady and her beloved children
and other dear friends will sadly
miss her from their midst. She
lived and died faithful christian
woman.

CHRISTMAS EXERCISES.

The different churches in the city
will hold Christmas exercises ON
Saturday night of this week, ex-
cepting the Christian church which
will have Its exercises on Sunday
night. On account of the revival
meetings which have been in pro-
gress the past several weeks there
will probably be no Christmas tree
at any of the churches, but there
will be appropriate exercises and a
goodprogram at all of the churches.
Our delayed S and 10 cent de-
partment goods have arrived and
are now on sale. Don't fail to see
them as they are all Special Bar
gains. S. Cook.

of those nice sewing machines al

NEW PREACHER TO THE FORE.

| on Sheriff Haun a little before the
break of day and asked for the priv
ilege of the court house to preach
to the sinful, worldly and benight-
ed people of this community. He
explained thatithe different minis
tiers and evangelists who are and
have been holding meetings here
are all wrong and he considered it
his duty to spread the light and
undeceive the people. The sheriff
tried to persuade him that it was
the wrong thing to do but he would
not be convinced. Finally the
sheriff advised him to take it up
with the county attorney. He did
not succeed in getting an interview
with that official and left the city
in the afternoon.
! Mr.. Pelton's mind has been af-
fected for some time and his actions
have been peculiar many times,
but only recently was there evil
dence of great arrangement. A
few days before his coming to Medi-
cine Lodge he created mild SEN
sation in one of the churches in Sha-
ron and when the citizens of that vi
cinity heard of his additional queer
actions in Medicine Lodge they
concluded that some legal action
was needed to protect the patient
as we'll as the public. Accordingly
F. w. Romig took the initiative
and signed a complaint and asked
that his sanity be inquired into.
Probate Judge Gleason issued a
warrant little before noon Satur-
day and placed it in Sheriff Haun's
hands. By this time Mr.. Pelton
had disappeared and no one knew
where he had gone.
Sheriff Haun and Deputy Sheriff
Gordon went out to hunt him and
about the middle of the afternoon
they found him at the Sharon de-
pot. He had wandered around in
the neighborhood since leaving this
city but few had seen him. His
conversation with the officers was
similar to what he had said on Fri
day morning. 1t is of a rambling
nature and indicates rapid develop
ment of insanity. His disturbance
in the church at Sharon consisted
in saying that God had already
burned one church in that vicinity
and would soon burn another, in
fact, he said, the kerosene oil had
already been poured on the floor.
Investigation proved that no oil had
been poured on the floor, but his
statement was taken to mean that
his mania might lead him to COM
nit such an act.
The trial was held before Judge
Gleason late yesterday afternoon
There was no finding when the pa
per was printed but there was little
doubt that he would be pronounc-
ed insane. At first his folks were
strongly in favor of sending him
away for treatment, but we under
stand that his mother has since
expressed a desire to care for him
at home. His brother and father,
however, are quoted as saying that
the best thing to do is to send him
to an asylum.
While he was in custody Elias
sent the following message to the
Index for publication:
GA dove while chased by crows
near Enon dropped a crumb for this
offence on her part God sent her tc
the place where the beast and false
prophet is woman. -
The note was used as evidence
in the trial.
