ROBERT n. SANDS D.J

Robert II. Sands, one of the
most highly respected men in
Cherokee county, died at his
home in this city last Saturday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. Mr..
Sands had been in i'll health for
long time and his death was
not unexpected.
By the death of Mr.. Sands this
city loses a model citizen and the
wife and daughter n kind and in
dulgent husband and father. II
Bob Sands had an enemy We
never heard of it. He was uni
versally respected; he was one OF
those very rare men whose word
was as good as his bond. This
community will miss him.
Robert II. Sands, was born in
Indiana June 20, 1912. He re-
ceived a high school education,
and at the age of eighteen, began
clerking in Indiana, and continu-
ed in that occupation for several
years, in the meantime being en-
gagged during 1864 and 1865, in
steamboating on the Ohio River.
He was then engaged in mer-
chandise for himself until 1870,
and was then trading on the Ohio
and Mississippi Rivers until 1873.
He was then for three and half
years in the Government Civil
Service, and was employed on the
river a short time, before coming
to Kansas. In the spring OF
1879, he located in Baxter
Springs, where he engaged in
the grocery business with Frank
w. Felt. He continued in this
business for several years, finally
selling out and taking charge OF
the books of John M. Cooper,
with whom he was employed un-
til about three years ago. MIR.
Sands took charge Of the Baxter
Springs postoffice upon the death
of Postmaster Boyer and held the
Office for the bondsmen until the
present incumbent took charge,
when he accepted the position OF
assistant cashier in the Baxter
National Bank, which position
he occupied until his death.

There are at present three cul'

GUS. Some dark night some fell
low is going to walk off of one OF
them and break an arm or leg,
or, perhaps, his neck, and then
the city is going to be in for a
great big damage suit. Some
work is needed there very badly,
and it might save the city a
whole lot of money. 1t would be
a mighty good idea to take that
log out of the street and make
one big culvert do the duty of the
present three. 1t would be a
great stroke of economy.
