The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1905-04-21

Clayton r. Simmons was born in Paw
Paw, December 10, 1855, and died at his
home in this village April Is, 1908 AL
though descended from race of sturdy
pioneers, he was never very rugged, and
when the dread disease of consumption
fastened itself upon him, his decline was
rapid. His was a kindly disposition,
though very reticent even with his most
intimate friends; man who lived within
himself. His fondness for travel led him
into all portions of the country, and he
was extremely well versed in the geogra-
ply and history of all nations. Being a
close student and reader, with a keen
appreciation OF the best literature and
music, made him an agreeable compan-
ion. The members of the family left to
mourn are an only sister, Mrs. Ida Hud-
son-Cobb, and DR.. Vern Van Fossen,
Miss Rena Van Fossen and L. w. Van
Fossen, at whose residence the funeral
was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock

The sudden death of &. Il. Cookbook
occurred Thursday morning and came as
surprise to his friends. fIe had been
slowing improving from a recent severe
attack of heart trouble and it was hoped
that he might fully recover.
He was born in the state of New York
in 1910 and came to Michigan in 1913
where he has since made his home.
While Chan, as be was Familiarity
called, was quiet in his habits and taste,
he had acquired large circle of friends
and business acquaintances, who will
greatly miss his familiar face and pleas
ant words of greeting. In business
way he gained an enviable reputation,
and it was with regret that he left his
occupation as builder, but because of
failing health he was compelled to do so
and take up a new line of work.
The funeral services will be held Sun
day afternoon at 2 o'clock at the church
of Christ, and the ceremonies will be in
charge of the Masonic fraternity, of
which he was ever faithful member.
Interment will be in Prospect Hill ceme-
terry.

Obituary.

Rosanna Gremps was born in Palatine,
Montgomery county, New York, Decem-
Der Ia. 1925, and died at her home in
Paw Paw, April 10, 1905. She came with
her parents to Michigan in 1885 and was
united i'm marriage to Alonzo Shuts in
May, 1854, who preceded her to the
Better Land" by only two weeks.
Mrs. Shuts was one of the pioneers OF
Michigan, and has lived in the most in
teresting period of the states history and
and had the opportunity of seeing the
village of Paw Paw grow from small
group of settlers log cabins to the thriv-
ing little city it now is.
Like many of that vast throng which
the tide of emigration bore westward,
she experienced the hardshIps and pleas
ures of pioneer life, and to this band of
God fearing, sturdy first settlers the
people of Paw Paw owe their heritage.
Mrs. Shuts was the third of a family
of six children, only one, Mrs. Nancy Nj.
Boone, surviving her. Of genial dispo-
sition, she made many friends, OF her
thougtfulness and loving kindness many
can tell and her death will be keenly
felt by her sister and three nieces, who
are the only near relatives left of the
family.
Her faith in a life beyond was beauti-
full and touching, and her one thought
and prayer in her last days was that she
could Immediately join the husband who
for 81 years had been her life companion
and who was then waiting at the Gate.
The last sad rites were said Monday
afternoon, April IT, by Rev. A. w. Mum
ford of the M. + church. Hon. j. )
Woodman, lifelong friend and former
schoolmate, paid loving tribute to heI
memory. Interment was at Prospect
Hill cemetery.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON. March 30.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt finds himself again
confronted by a serious negro prob
lem in the Postoffice Department. Like
the Indianola incident, this also
comes from Mississippi.
A rather neat looking, intelligent
negro, M. J. Hornsby. about % years
old, appeared at the White House to-
day with a request to see the Presi-
dent This was the story he told to
the Presidents secretary:
young negro stood the examination for as
sstant clerk in the postoffce at Yazoo, Miss.
place. but soon after that the people Of the
town did not care to do business with him as a
postal official. He was given q sound thrash
ing several occasions and then told to get
out. which he did
Following this a special examination was
held to NIL the vacancy. Four young negroes
negress and two white men took the exam
ination. Hornsby. of the negroes, stood
highest on the list and on March 21 he was
appointed to the position. He said that he
would have to go to his home at jackson.
Miss. to get his bond, and the postmaster
gave him this permission. Before returning
to Yazoo news of his appointment got abroad
and the train which brought him back got
sidetracked on the outskirts of the town There
was a gathering of twenty TO thirty white men
near by and Hornsby suspecting that he was
about to be attacked. left the train and took
to the fields. He was soon overtaken. how
ever. and carried to empty oil mill. where,
he says. threats made against his life.
He talked eloquently In his own behalf and
finally the crowd agreed to compromise II he
would leave town. He sent in his resignation
and then left Yazoo, but only to come TO
Washington to lay his case before the Fed
eral authorities.
Secretary Loeb told Hornsby the
President would not be able to take
up his case until he returned from his
Southwestern trip. Hornsby left the
White House very much disappointed,
but said that before leaving town he
would appeal to the Civil Service
Commissioners.
Yazoo Is the home town of Repre-
sentative John Sharp Williams, leader
of the minority in the House.

FOOLISH JOKE
Special Dispatch to The Call.


DAVENPORT. March 3O.-A practi-
cal joke perpetrated by two Hawk
Creek farmers Tuesday evening start
ed two Sheriff's posses racing across
the country, sent the Coroner and
Prosecuting Attorney to the scene of a.
supposed tragedy and stirred nm the
population. The fake murder took place
in broad daylight before three excited
witnesses. The two farmers who should
be starring behind the footlights are
Charles Logsdon and his hired man.
Jim McKinnon. The men were plow-
ing in Logsdon's field when they OBJ
served a neighbor, Henry Dick, his wife
and hired man in an adjoining field.
Suddenly the trio heard violent Ian
guage and looking up saw Logsdon and
McKinnon apparently quarreling vio-
lently. The great tragedans under
study drew a revolver and fired. The
desperate man seemed badly wounded.
but staggered and grappled with the
object of his wrath. The two fell and
locked in embrace rolled on the ground.
Logsdon overcane his adversary. se-
cured the weapon and holding it to the
head of his PROSTATE victim, fired
twice. The three spectators hastened
away from the scene and Dicks hired
man rode five miles to telephone sta
tion to notify the Sheriff. Meanwhile
Constable Layson had gathered a posse
at Peach and was headed for the scene.
Coroner Kaulbach had been summoned
windows Of the Logsdon house were
dark and the besiegers fancied the
murderer barrfcaded within. The house
was found to be deserted and a neigh
Dor told the story to a sheepish- looking
lot of man-hunters.
