the neaQ with q gun Dy Dam OOss,
at Davis Crossing picnic is in a
critical condition. It is said Strick-
land was drunk, and Doss came
up and took him by the arm. He
pulled loose and Doss then hit him
with his gun, knocking him un-
conscious, cutting a cash about
two inches long anG shattering
his cheek bone. 1t is unfortunate
that men of no mercy are given
authority to carry concealed
weapons.-Lead Belt Neups.
Mrs. Lutitia Henderson, widow
of the late Henry Henderson, came
into town last week and got a
writ of habeas corpus for her six
year-old daughter, Efie M. Hem
son, whom she claims is unlaw-
fully held by the child's uncle and
aunt, AID. and Manda Henderson,
of the west end of the county.
The case was called in the probate
court Monday but continued until
Saturday. It is understood that
the parties have about agreed on
compromise. In the meantime
the child is now with its mother.
Died-At the residence of his
sister, Mrs. Valentine Sailing,
Elvins, Mo-, Wednesday, July 28,
1909, at $40 P. M, Henry Rasche,
aged Al years, two months and
three days. The remains were
brought to Ironton and the funeral
occurred from the residence of
Mrs. Anna M. Rasche Friday
morning. Interment occurred in
the Pilot Knob cemetery. The
deceased was a worthy, hard
working young man and many
relatives and friends deplore his
demise. To the bereaved we ex-
our sympathy.
Every little while we read in
the paper where some one has run
a rusty nail into his foot or some
other portion of his body, and
lockjaw results therefrom and the
patient dies. If every person was
aware of a perfect remedy for
such wounds and would apply it,
then such reports would cease.
The remedy is simple and always
at hand, can be applied by any
one, and what is better, it is in
fallible. 1t is simply to smoke
the wound or any wound that is
bruised or inflamed with wooden
cloth. Twenty minutes in the
smoke will take the pain out of
the worst case of Inflammation
arising from such a wound.
People may sheer at this remedy
as much as they please, but when
they are afflicted with such a
wound, let them try it.-Er.
This is what the Doniphan Pros
pect- News says about the Baptist
Assembly: "The major portion
of the Doniphanites who we're in
attendance, returned home Mon
day afternoon, as follows: The
Misses Eula, Fern and Xetah
Lawrence, Fay Gary, Lodoska
Lackey, E. L. Finch, Ed Cox, Mr..
and Mrs. F. A. Wise and children.
Rev. Westbrook and G. o. Barth
got in home Tuesday evening.
Those who attended from here re-
port a very successful, pleasant
and beneficial meeting and outing.
The lectures, they say, were very
fine and inspiring, and the location
and surroundings all that could
be desired. AS an evidence of the
confidence the people have in the
success of the movement it is only
necessary to add that $1,000 was
raised by popular subscription in
a few minutes time to be used in
improving and beautifying the
grounds for future Assemblies"
