A FATAL ARRAY.
Charles Brown. Dies from Injuries In
flicted by Alfred Crawford.

AS the result Of injuries inflicted up
on him late last Friday afternoon,
Charles Brown is dead, and Alfred
Crawford is in Jail facing a charge of |
murder with an almost certain convic-
ton for manslaughter in any event.
1t seems that Crawford and Browns
son George had key of beer at the
latter's home just west of Freehauf's
mill, and had become considerably in
toxlcated when Charley returned home
from Riceville where he had been at
work. 1t is alleged that Crawford had
been annoying little daughter of
Browns and she complained to her ia
ther who demonstrated with Crawford
for so doing. This angered Crawford
into attacking Brown, knocking him
down and then jumping and stamping
on the abdomen of the PROSTATE man.
Although Crawford claims to re-
member no details of the ARRAY, yet
he sought out Mayor Davenport at
about o'clock Friday evening and
wanted to pay fine. He was then
Iquite intoxicated but knew that he had
been in fight with Brown. The may
or told him to go home and appear for
trial the next morning, but later upon
Information that Crawford had been
abusing his wife of late when he was
drinking ordered Marshal Flick to find
him and lodge him in Jail, and for sc
doing was thanked by Crawford the
next morning. When arraigned, The
mayor refused to let Crawford off or
payment OF fine but sentenced him
to seventeen days Imprisonment on q
charge of disorderly conduct. As the
result of Browns death he will be held
to appear before the grand jury at the
next term of court in October.
4 Crawford is very penitent but claims
to have no recollection of what oc
cured when the injuries were inflicted
II The affray was witnessed, we are
told, by Browns little daughter, his
son George and the latter's wife.
AS the result of the assault, Brown
sustained internal injuries that caused
his death on Monday morning. Though
!, greatly distressed he retained con
seriousness until about midnight pre-
:, ceding his death.
The funeral of Mr.. Brown is planned
to take place at two o'clock tomorrow
J, afternoon at the Baptist church, b.
: which time it is expected his children
Twill have arrived.

capable of playing. Some heavy hitting
in the first two innings coupled with
some bad errors, gave DEBORAH the
game. Scheutz was substituted for
Faber new man in the Bird inning,
and although he pitched hard game
Saturday held DEBORAH to 1 hit in Z
innings.

sage yesterday morning announcing
the death of H. B. Crosby, of DEBORAH,
who for years has been one of the court
reporters in this judicial district and
is very well acquainted in Cresco. The
cause of his death was not stated but
it must been quite unexpected as he

looking after some property interests
there. The funeral occurs in DEBORAH
