to the chin. Britt missed fearful left
swing and right swing partially
caught the Britisher on the face. White
kept Britt busy leading. blocking most
Of the Californian's attempts. One left
reached the Englshman's chin lightly
and then White tried left and right
twice for the face, but his efforts were
unavailing. They went to the center
Of the ring and exchanged right and
left swings as the bell denoted the end
of the round This round was very
tame and tiresome with Britt still In
the lead.
Round 20-They shook hands
and Britt Immediately sailed in, miss
ing left for the face. The pace quick
ened, but the blows were easily blocked.
Both fought at close quarters with
White mostly on the defensive. Britt
suddenly uncorked a vicious right on
the body and in some mitigating failed
to connect with left and right for the
jaw. Britt was careful, realizing that
apparently the decision was his. The
referee had to separate the men from
a clinch and then Britt again put a
right to the body and brought his
right and left with fearful force to
Whites Jaw sending White tottering
to the floor very groggy. When the
Britisher rose Britt went at him like
a demon and sent him clear across the
ring with right and left smashes to the
face. The round was nearly over at
this stage but the police jumped into
the ring and stopped the uneven con-
test and Britt was declared the winner
amidst tremendous excitement.

He was the second son of Henry and

MoRTUARY.
Mrs. II. D. Dye.

After suffering intense pain for many
months Mrs. FL. d. Dye was called to her
eternal home beyond the dark river of
death. The first symptoms of the
disease was Il great deep longing for
home. We look at the picture, as it
hangs in her home, of the little old log
cabin where she spent the first year of
married life, and in fancy we could see
the little ones gathered around her as
she told them the beautiful story Of
Jesus and the home beyond. Time
weakened the frame OF that little cabin
and it is gone-bnt The picture remains.
Yea, time weakened the physical frame
and the soul returned to it's God, but
the, picture of :. noble life remained,
loved her most.
Deceased was born in New York on
June 70, 1882. Was united in marriage
to nervuy ID. Dye April u, 1852. To
them were born eight children, a boy
dying in childhood. Her husband, on,
son, q. c. Dye, of Decatur county, six
daughters, Mrs. Ella Winland, Mrs
! Olive Hutchinson, OF Humeston; Mrs.
Eva Sampson, Riley, Kansas; Mrs. Letta
Hamilton, Wayne county; Miss Cora b.
| Dye, Des Moines, AID Mrs. Nellie
Beavers, Woodland, Iowa; are left to
mourn her loss. She was a faithful
devoted wife and kind atfectionate
mother friend to all.
When a child Hannah Kay moved to
Sistersville, w. Va, was converted and
united with the Baptist church at
the age OF seventeen, giving God
her heart and a life of service. Here
she was married to Hervey ID. Dye.
In 1865 they moved to Decatur county,
Iowa. She helped to organize the
Highland Baptist church and was a
faithful member forty-siX years, NOV
to Humeston two years ago. She loved
so we'll her God and his word that even
when death had dimmed her eyes and
chilled her hands she wanted her Bible
IL can not see but | can feel it" OH!
blessed, thrice blessed, are they that
die in the Lord" She will be missed
by her many friends but by none SO
much as those in her late home, where
her chair is now vacant and that
motherly voice is heared no more. All
that loving human hands could possibly
do was done to prolong her stay and
ease the pain. Then God in tender
mercy said lit is enough; come up to
thy reward" and she peacefully and
gladly obeyed the summons. Her soul
awakened to brighter dawn than ours
The funeral was preached by her
pastor, Rev. Perry, from the Baptist
church in .Humeston Friday at II
O'Clock, Dec. 8, 1905. The esteem in
which she had been held was attested
by the numerous beautiful and taste
fully arranged floral designs at the
funeral.
