The Death Messenger

home in this city at one o'clock D.
m, last Thursday, February 10,
1910. Judge Gleason took sick
with pneumonia Saturday evening,
February 5th, and his sickness as
sumed a most alarming condition
during the first night of the attack.
DR.. Gilbert was called and he gave
the case his most careful attention
but at no time during the struggle
did he hold out much hope for re-
covery, although at times there
were some reasons for encourage
ment.
Funeral services were held at the
residence at three o'clock, Friday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. w.
T. Van Horn, pastor of the Presby-
terian church, and the remains laid
away in Highland cemetery.
The Masonic lodge had charge of
the services. Judge Gleason was
an esteemed member of the order
many years and his death brings
great sorrow to the hearts of his
brethren.
He served three years in the civil
war, enlisting in Company G., Sec
ond California Regiment, Septem.
Der %, 1861 and receiving an hon.
orable discharge September ~,
1864.
Cyrus S. Gleason was born at
Oswego, New York, December %,
1891; died at Medicine Lodge,
Kansas, February 10, 1910, aged
78 years, month, II days.
The death of Judge Gleason re-
moves another of Barber county's
best citizens. He served Barber
county four years as probate Judge
from 1903 to 19o7-and in his
official life, like in his private life,
was conscientious in his every act
and faithful to his trust. Prior
to his coming to Medicine Lodge
he was one of Hazelton townships
farmers and in that vicinity the
people vie with the people of Med
lcine Lodge in paying tribute to
his memory and sortowing over his
death.
Judge Gleason is survived by a
wife and a daughter, Mrs. !. H.
Shankland, of A,gonia, Kansas,
who have the profound sympathy
of the people of Medicine Lodge
and Barber county in their sorrow.
To them the vacant chair means
much. This is especially true with
Mrs. Gleason and her grief is in.
deed sacred.

} Tedrow was dismissed with
pre- judice at cost of defendant on
motion of plaintiff. In this case
Mr.. Tincher sued Mr.. Tedrow for
$4,000 damages. The suit grew
out of a physical encounter in
which Mr.. Tedrow struck Mr..
Tincher in the face. 1t has been
pending in court about two years
but at no time did it come within
hailing distance of a trial and
finally went the route of most
damage suits.

Housinger, another miniature
damage suit, was also dismissed.
This one came from Sharon. The
plaintiff, in driving an automobile,
frightened team being driven by
the defendant and there was some

justice court and the defendant ap-
pealed but the parties settled in
preference to going to trial. 1t is
stated that the settlement was on
a basis of SIS.
The case of State VS.. Geo. Hor-
ton was called yesterday and was

Wisconsin.
= According to plans of several months
ago. Pauline Wayne was to have been
shipped here this month, become fresh
next month, and furnish the Taft family
with milk all winter. But nobody has
heard anything as to when the COW will
get here.
At least those on duty at the White

will be shipped in a short time by Sen
ator Stephenson and arrive before the
end, of, the month.
Pauline Wayne's mother is the greatest
milk COW in the world. Her daily flow
of milk is something over twelve gallons.
Pauline Wayne herself has a record of
oyer nine gallons of of milk daily and
1wenty-six pounds of butter a week She
