OFFICER DUNN DIES.


As is known to possibly all Of our
readers by this time, Chief Of Police
{. W, Dunn, one Of the victims Of
the shooting tragedy, died at his
home here Monday about enc o'clock.
He made brave fight for life but
finally had to succumb to the deadly
work of a bullet that is supposed to
nave lodged in his right lung. His
death has cast an extra dark gloom
over the entire town and county. 1t
is SO sad to know that Charlie Dunn
is dead. He made friends wherever
he went, and not only that, he held
them with ties as strong as steel.
As son, husband, father, citizen,
officer, he was true to what he be-
!;eved to be right and honorable.
The funeral took place Tuesday
morning at 1890 O'Clock. The pro
cession was the longest and the
crowd the largest. possibly, ever
seen at funeral here. Friends
and relatives came from all sections
OF the county to pay the last respect
to one they loved and admired.
