The Grim Reaper.

Our people were greatly shocked
last Friday evening by the sudden
death of Mr.. w. r. Ramsey, the
aged father Of the pastor of the
Methodist Church at this place, Rev.
John w. Ramsey.
r. Deceased had been the guest of
the family of his son for several
months past and, aside from an at
tack of la grippe, had enjoved ex-
cellent health; in fact. we learn that
throughout a long life, and he would
have been seventy-seven onthe 18th
day of this month, his health had
been good. Friday evening, accom-
panied by his little grandson, MI.
Ramsey strolled around town, visit
ing among other places The HER
AID office, where he chatted pleas
antly with the editor and appeared
lin excellent spirits. He returned
home about three o'clock, suffering
an attack of intestinal congestion
shortly after, and despite the prompt
attention of Drs. Deaton and Ander-
son, before the shades of evening
fell we were called upon to assist in
shrouding this good old man for the
grave. The Rev. Mr.. Ramsey left
Saturday morning with the remains
for his fathers home near Blue
Springs, Miss, where, in the pres
ence of a large concourse of sorrow
ing friends, interment was made
that evening.
While not many of our people en-
joyed a personal acquaintance with
the deceased, those of us who did
could not but appreciate the kindly
spirit of his every word and act; he
was a good man-and, trusting in
the promises of God, we believe he
is now with those who bear the
mark of the Lamb upon their fore
heads.
The sympathy of the community
is with the grief-stricken family in
, their bereavement.

COAL MINE VICTIMS.
Exploson i'm Pennsylvania Coal Mine
Kills Four Men.

Mine Inspector Henry Loutett and
the miners who volunteered for res
cue work in Mine No. 1 of the Ellis
worth Galleries Company, at ELS
worth, Pa, where an explosion oc-
Cured early Thursday, have complet-
ed their search of the mine and report
that only four men were killed.
There were over one hundred men
at work at the time and their scape is
due to the fact that the explosion
happened at a point beyond where
they were working. The explosion re-
sulting from the victims striking a
pocket of gas while at work far back
in the mine and ahead of the air
supplied by the ventilating system.
Fire followed the explosion, which
was terrific, but the affected sections
have been bratticed and the damage
will not he heavy. This was the
second explosion in the mine, but nc
deaths resulted from the first. In
spectors regarded the mine as gaseous
to dangerous degree and protested
against 1T being equipped with cleo
trical appliances, but their protests
were denied on the hearing of the
suit against the company.

A BRUTAL MURDER
DILN'T INTEND TO TO KILL ANY
PARTICULAR PERSON.
Hoped His Victim Would BE Wealthy
American or English Tourist, Who
He Could Rob.

American or English Tourist, Who
He Could Rob.
The sheperd, Joseph Michaud, who
murdered Robert Munziger, a young
Swiss Alpinist, on the Col de Balme
last August, has been sentenced to
life Imprisonment at Martigny, Switz-
erland.
The crime was perhaps the most re-
markable ever committed in the
Alps. According to Michaud's confess
sion, which was made with great cal
lousness, he lay in wait on the Col de
Balme for lays, intending to murder
the first unaccompanied tourist who
came along.
He hoped his victim would be a
rich Englishman or American. and
his intention was 10 leave Switzer-
land with the proceeds of the rob-
berry and to come to America, where
he hoped to make his fortune.
Michaud explained that he had
thought this out carefully while at
tending to his flock. and had conclud-
ed that he would remain a shepherd
to the end of his days unless he could
make coup by numbering and rob-
bing a wealthy tourist.
Many Englishmen passed." said
Michaud in his confession. "but they
were all accompanied by relatives or
friends.
Finally Munziger appeared. He
intended crossing the Col de Balme
and descending TO Chamonix, whence
he meant attempting an ascent of
Mont Blanc. When near the summit
OF the Col de paire Michaui at
tackled him with a hunting knife and
sta bbed him to death.
Michaud robbed the BODY. strip
ped it of clothes. and then purled It
under some rocks He iorget. how
er IL remove the traces of the criue
and guides who searched the precipic-
es of the Col de Balme for a week
finally discovered the evidences of q
struggle, which led to Munziger's
nody beng disintered.
Michaud aroused suspicion IN a
neighboring village by displaying a
watch which afterwarj proved IL lie
MunZiger's. When the shepherd was
arrested he was wearing the clothes
of the murdered man. He showed
great unconcern and laughed and
joked with the gendarmes.
His booty amounted TO about S.
and Michaud's only regret was that
he had killed a Swiss instead of
wealthy foreigner. "a was too has
ty," he complained to the Judge dur
ing his trial, but 1 had been waiting
so long that had become impatient"

were five, but the Mosquitoes were no
more successful than before and fled

have occurred. 1t is reported that

sends the following: A cart be-
longing to the forest range officer

the bullocks that were drawing the
carts. The cartman saw this symp-
tom and became aware that there
was danger. The bullocks began to
run, as the road was sloping.
The tiger was perceived by some of
the cartmen pursuing them, and the
cartmen began to beat the kerosene
oil tins and shout wildly to scare
away the tiger. But the tiger, not
daunted by this, sprang upon one
bullock that was TO the left side OF
the hindmost cart. The two persons,
though much frightened. yet took
courage and began to shout and howl
their loudest.
The tiger, enraged at this, sprane
on the man who was driving the
cart. But the man managed to slir
back into the cart, and the tiger lost
its hold. and sat by the roadside
After awhile the two persons Issued
from the cart and tried to lift the
bullock, but found il was dead. Then
taking the other bullock, they pro
ceeded to the town.
