Local Names, Lee, Clnp Rutledge,

surnnnles Of local, orl gin have been
common among many peoples In diff
ferent ages In biblical times we have
such Instances as Ruth the Moabitess,
Elijah the Tishbite. Judas Iscariot. etc,
Classical antiquity abounds with such
examples as Hecataeus OF Miletus.
pionysius Hnlicarnasseus. Demetrtus
Phalareus, Titus Livius Patavinus,
Cato Uticensis, Silius 1talicus. etc.
Such surnames are found all over
the IndoI European territory and among
our own Teutonic ancestors were espe-
cially frequent. In English onomatol-
ogy they form one Of the largest
classes. and may be subdivlded into the
following principal varieties: y
n Those Indicating the country, pros
vince, shire or district from which
those who originally bore the name
came. g.. England, English. Inglls;
Cornwall, CORVALLIS, Cornish, etc. AS
all surnames We're originally distinc-
tive. 1t follows that such names We're
in thesfirst instance given to those who
had removed from such country, shire.
etc. to- another. sT Thus Adam scott
,vo,,ld not be q distinctive nnmo In
Scotland nor ina Scottish community.
but It would be natural enough to sur
name an Adam who sojourned In an
English community .the Scot the
surname might. however, be- retained
after his return to his native heath.
and would naturally be SO retained
after the surname had become heredl-
tary. n
ii. Those indicating the city, town,
hamlet, parish, etc, from which tho
first bearers of tho name call,e------1e. g..
London, Londoner, Londonishi Chester.

mans were already using such names,

DEATH OF CONSTABLE CONGER
Victim of Neero's Assault Succumbs
to Pistol Shot Wounds.

After a long and heroic battle for
life Constable Tom Conger, who was
murderously assaulted by negro
named Nelse Golden on the morning
of June 6, expired Friday morning
at his home at Red Oak. officer Con-
ger made splendid progress toward
recovery for awhile, but few days
ago his condition changed for the
worse and soon assumed a serious
phaze. His death did not come as
surprise to his relatives and friends
as it had been momentarily expected
for the past two or three days. Mr..
Conger was about forty-five years
old and had resided in the Red Oak
community several years. He was
elected constable two years ago and
his efficiency as an officer cannot be
questioned. He was man whose
character was above reproach and
his friends were numbered by the
score. 1t was while in the discharge
of his official duty that he was shot
down by a negro brute. Had the ne
gro been apprehended that day or
within the next few days he would
have received summary justice.
The funeral of the dead officer
will take place at Bells Chapel to-
morrow afternoon at 8 o'clock

SHOT AND SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
Accidental Discharge Of Gun May
Cost Farmer His Lie.

A deplorable accident occurred in
nesday afternoon which may cost the
! life of Jas. Shaw a farmer living In
| the Howard community. While Mr.
Shaw and Delta Floyd, also of How
ard. were hunting squirrels in the
river bottom the former was acci-
dentally shot by the latter and SER
iously wounded. The accident occur
red about o'clock In the afternoon.
Mr.. Shaw and Mr.. Floyd had been
resting under tree. Mr. Floyd pick
ed up his double barrel shotgun and
said he believed he would walk up
the bottom and see if he could not
find a squirrel Shortly after leaving
the tree he heard a squirrel barking
and started in the direction of the
sound. Seeing the leaves on a bush
moving Mr. Floyd raised his gun
and fired Mr.. Shaw had also start
ed in search of the same squirrel and
was on the opposite side of the bush
through which Mr.. Floyd shot He
received the entire charge of shot in
his breast, arms and lower limbs, the
little missiles being scattered by the
bushes. This is probably the only
thing that kept Mr.. Shaw from being
killed outright. Mr.. Floyd managed
to get the wounded man to a house
and summoned a physician. After his
wounds were dressed he was convey
ed to his home near Howard, arriv-
ing there Thursday morning.

the third trip to Denver was he able
to overtake them.
Officers of the law were appealed
to and the matter finally found its
way into the Denver courts, despite
the fact that friends of Mr.. Rae, as
well as nearly every reader of he

the opinion that there was but little
hope of receiving justice at the
