shire, England, and as a young
man was apprenticed to a shoe,
maker, which trade he followed
nearly all his lifetime.
He emigrated to this country
in 1872, settling first in Peoria,
nls., removed to this county in
1878, but soon went to Colorado,
where he was married, but re-
sided only a short time, when he
returned here, and with only a
few months spent in Mexico last
spring, he has remained a res
ident of this community ever
since.
Two daughters, Pearl, now Mrs
Claude Swain of Galveston, and
Elva, living at home, two sisters,
Mrs. George Crummack and Mrs.
A. E. Button, with his widow,
are the only relatives in this
country. A brother, John, died
while they were living in. the
south.
The funeral services were hele

Mr.. Slim was one of the best
men that ever lived. Quiet, gen.
ial, always taking an interest,
although not an active one, in
the affairs Of men, a lover Of
natures beauties, a tireless work
er for the betterment of humani-
ty, and withal a husband and
father without an equal. In his
passing from this earth we have
lost a valuable citizen, and the
sympathy of the entire commun-
ity goes out to his bereayed ones.

Ready.made Verdict

Fargo. North Dakota, once
boasted a composite postmaster
and coroner. He was called one
day to give his verdict upon
the case of a stranger who had
been the victim of a fit on the
main street. As. the man was un-
known to anyone, he was hur-
ried to the mueh-prized City Hos
pital. There the case was dag
nosed as appendicitis, but when
the operation took place the at
tending surgeon discovered that
the patient had been previously
relieved of his appendix. The
doctor endeavored to retract his
steps, but the strange man
died from the effects Of the op-
Grafton.
The postmaster-coroner, in rem
dering his verdict, filled in the
space after "Cause Of Death, -
with a rubber stamp which read,
Opened by Mistake. Success.
