wreathe your face in smiles.
Don't drown yourself in doubt, but
Jury your life with hope.

Happy New Year to Our City.

"A Happy New Year" dear old town,
Rejoice in all thy ways
FOR happy years have come and gone
With brief and fleeting days.
Years we've watched thy growth
In numbers and in wealth;
IN lovely homes, and lower ttrees;
IN cleanliness and health.
In pretty streets and shady hooks,
Where birds their carol sing,
And sunbeams play the liyel5ng day
And joys supernal bring.
Our men are those of enterprise.
Our gumption, grit and grace.
Who believe that good improvements
Should have no second place.
Our boys will average well with boys,
Steady, staid, and true,
With tact and purpose well in hand
The right they will pursue.
Our girls, All, heaven bless them-
No better anywhere
They're the kindiest and sweetest
And fairest of the fair
Our babies and our little girls;
Our mothers and our wives,
Are beautiful to look upon;
Are lovely in their lives.
Our schools all stand without a peer;
With promise great in store,
Where Chesterfield is taught as well
AS Greek, or Latin lore.
This leads to the higher schools;
Our churches, where the soul
IS fed from Gods own granaries;
And broken lives made whole.
The guardian angels of our homes
Where faith and charity
Are taught to bless and fit us for
bright eternity

Everything went along pretty well,
drinking n little on the side and play
ing poker as main amusement. until
sometime after dinner, when dispute
arose over opening the Jackpot"
Lightfoot ordered his visitor out of
the house and rs most of them were
pretty we'll filled with whis'sey, they
only laughed at Tom, which angered
him greatly, and he went into the
gun and threatened to shoot unless
they went out, but as they did not go.
he became more excited and in his
excitement discharged the gun, but
instead of hitting any of his visitors,
the shot went rather into another dir
ecton and shot off the right arm of
his uncle Frank Depius, who was sit
ting on bed The visitors then got
out of the house and after they were
cut they used revolyers and shot
back into the house several times,
and one of them came back into the
room where Tom was and shot
hole through the ceiling.
A doctor from White Cloud was
called and he found that II was nee
essary to amputate the stub of the
arm that was left, aud he sent back
10 White Cloud for assistance. Along
with the assistance came the marshal
of the town of White Cloud TO arrest
Iightfoot, but the marshal was easily
scared off by Lightfoot's gun, and no
arrest was made

They were warned that it was
impossible 10 go within "A quarter
Of a mile of Lghtfoot's house with
out getting within range of his gun,
but they had no difficulty in getting
into the house, as Lightfoot thought
they had been sent down from Mis-
souri, to arrange for the payment OF
the doctors fee Sheriff Fenton ar
rived in time to assist Lightfoot IN
the care of Dupius, and then arrested
him without any trouble. They took
him to Rulo before the justice of the
peace, and he was bound over To the
district court, and is now in Jail,
The Indian family did not appear TO
know what to do with the arm that
was shot off, so they threw ii out of
doors and dog carried ii away
about half a mile north, where
white man found it the next day and
brought it back The Lightfoot family
nut it in loft, and when Sheriff Fen

best to do with it. and he advised

Frank Depius is about seventy
years old and may not survive the
loss of his arm The shooting so
far as any intention of injuring him
Is concerned, was entirely accidental,

bad men from Kansas at the same
time on Christmas day. Journal

chauffeur. plunged into the river at
Jackson boulevard last Sunday night.
Camps body was recovered from the
river today and positively identified by

when no word was had from them,
after news of their disappearance had
been widely circulated. Dragging of
the river for the bodies will be resumed
tomorrow. Shreds of purple cloth
similar in color to a gown worn by
Miss Shapiro last Sunday were caught
on graphing hooks of the searchers
