One of the best known men in
Barber county, died at his home in
Valley township Sunday night,
December 3Ist, after suffering many
weeks with chronic troubles affect
ing the liver and kidneys. He
leaves large family and was

congressman of the Seventh dis

large vote. He was very active in
reform politics during his entire
life and was plain spoken and
ready debater.
The deceased was an early set
tier and has valuable possessions
in Barber county. AS citizen and
neighbor he enjoyed the respect of
everybody and the news of his
death was received with regret
throughout the county. Next week
we hope to publish more extend
ed account of this deservant mans
life.

OLIVER 4. LUNSEORD.

Oliver A. Lunsford, barber in the
Marshall Bisby barber shop, died
Sunday night, December 31st, from
obstruction of the bowels. He was
taken sick on Saturday, December
23rd and suffered great agony an
entire week, in spite of medical at
tention. On Sunday, December
31st, a surgical operation was per-
formed by DR.. Donovan of this city
and DR.. Hutcheson of Goats and
DR.. Bucklin of Sawyer. His bowels
were in very bad condition, mort
iflcatian had set In and he was also
badly afflicted with appendicitis.
Mr.. Lunsford was not very healthy
for some time. He was troubled
for a long time with stomach and
bowel disorder and his condition
was probably made worse by lit
tie friendly scuff1e he and some
friends engaged in previous to his
taking down as there was a dis
placement revealed in the bowels
when the operation took place.
The deceased is son of David
Lunsford and wife formerly of Elm
Mills but now of Isabel. He began
the barber's trade in Isabel several
years ago and came to Medicine
Lodge in the summer. He was a
cordial young man andhi death is
a sad shock to his friends and very
grievous to his parents, brothers
and sisters. He was 80 years of
age. His wife died about four
years ago. A girl five years old is
left fatherless and motherless.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian church on Monday after
noon conducted by Rev. w. M.
Covert, Elder VanDewalker being
i'll, and the body laid to rest in
Highland cemetery.
y father, mother, three brothers
and five sisters are left to mourn the
premature departure of an affection
ate and dutiful son and brother,
and the hearts of many friends go
out to them in deepest sympathy.

her child being very i'll. !.
The funeral was held Saturday
afternoon at the Baptist church as
requested by DR.. Aver and burial

DR.. Aver lived in Barber county
since 1875, according to his own
statement. A wife, two daughters
and two sons preceded him in
death. One son and one daughter
survive. The son above referred
to is at present Superintendent of
the Western Division of the Santa
Fe Railway Company and a very
distinguished railroad man. The
daughter, Ella, was married a few
years ago to Mr.. Frank McHarge, "a
successful business man of Dodge
City. DR.. Aver could have had a
home with his children but he pre-
ferred to live in his home in Medi-
cine Lodge.
With the passing of DR.. Aver the
most unique character of Barber

NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH.

Hon. w. c. Afford of Hazelton
came very near being killed Satur-
day night as the result of a terrific
kick in the side by a horse. He re-
turned home at night from his
daughters home, Mrs Fred Dicks,
where he had been called by the
death of his grandchild, and when
he led his horse into the stable an
other horse kicked at the horse he
was leading, but instead of hitting
the horse the kicking animal land
ed on Mr.. Afford. The blow threw
him twelve feet against a stone
wall and rendered him helpless for
some time before he was able to
get to the house but he finally sue
ceeded in getting in. He is still
very sore as a result but nothing
serious is feared. Physicians say
that If the kick had struck a little
closer to the heart death would
have resulted instantly. Mr.. AL
ford, himself, says that the horses
hoof seemed to weigh at least a ton
and he thinks the whole horse
ought to weigh five or six tons.
We can joke about it now, per-
haps, but it certainly was a most
serious affair. However his count
less friends rejoice that the aeci-
dent did not result fatally. Barber
county has too much need for such
men to give them up.

ANOTHER DROWNED.
Walter Moore GCeloredl Broke Through
the Ice Last Thursday While
Skating, and Drowned.

The people of Medicine Lodge
experienced another shock last
Thursday on account Of death by
drowning. 1t was the result of
thin ice. Being vacation week, the
boys were skating and they did
not realize the danger ahead of
them. On Thursday the lakes were
exceptionally well patronized and
probably if the boys had confined
themselves to the one north of the
railroad where the water was not
so deep and the ice a little thicker
there would not have been a fatal
ity but several of them became ven
turesome and crossed to Sugar lake
on the south and skated out in the
center, the entire lake being as
much as 200 yards wide and doubly
long. Among the boys who ven
tured onto the large lake was the
ill-fated colored boy, Walter Moore
Carl Rankin and Roy Moore, the
dead boys brother, only II years
of age, and a number of others.
Moore led out considerable dis
tance ahead of the others and broke
through. He clung to the ice and
tried to. get out but was soon ex-
hausted and sunk. Carl Rankin
and Roy Moore went to his rescue
and they too broke through. Carl
after a hard struggle got out on ice
that held him but the little colored
boy could not get out and only
sayed his life on account of remark
able composure and good judg-
ment. He suspended himself in
the water with nothing to support
himself but thin coat of ice and
upon this support he rested his
arms. He was in this predicament
at least three quarters of an hour.
1t was not long after the alarm
was sent up town until the banks
of the lake were lined with men
and women. Many anxious par
ents whose boys were there skating
fastened to the scene not knowing
whose boys were in the water. The
work of rescuing the living boy
was first undertaken and finally he
was reached by means Of long
ladder and pulled to safety. He
was very nearly gone. He could
not stand up and was numb all
over but DR.. Moore finally revived
him. 1t was a case where good
Judgment was necessary. No one
dared go to him as the ice would
have broken and he would have
fallen. He was unable to grasp
hold OF a rope and if he had, he
would probably have sunk and
drowned. The boy was the coolest
one In the crowd and he offered the
suggestions and the plan which
saved his life. He certainly is en-
titled to high praise for his bravery
and good judgment.
The body of the dead boy, Wal
ter, was recovered by means of a
boat and a pole and grab hook, by
VIM. Martin and Jesse Morlan.
The water was about 7 feet deep
where he was drowned.
The funeral was held at the
home of the parents, CharleyMoore
and wife, on Friday, conducted by
w. M. Covert, pastor of the Pres
byterian church. Walter was
about 10 years of age.
This is the third boy drowned in
Sugar lake, and it again emphasiz-
es the importance of the necessity
for boys and parents TO exercise
caution.

1t was twenty-three years since

went down to Charley's house and
made rush on him. Charley was
almost taken off his feet for a min

long enough to say howdy and we
were soon convinced that they wear

they will some day come to Kan
