uted much toward the development
of Webster county and this section

Colonel, however, is man of great
force anu is too resourceful to conhue
his operations to any single locality

On last Saturday morning Mr.. Ying'
ling, who had just returned from work

like an explosion and when he awoke
the room was all on fire and he beinS
in dazel condition. jumped through
the window to the ground below anil
was not injured, but as soon as he
got to the front of the house his wife
asked where the little boy was and he
said upstairs and started after him,
and soon appeared with the little boy
all aflame and by the time he got
down stairs with him they were both
burned SO they died in a short time.
He lost his life trying to save his boy.
Mr.. Yingling was for several years
