Got His Change

Judge W. d. Bush played In luck
last week. While at the fair a
Jew running n stand short chang.
ed him 40 cents ana he was the
loser, much as hs disliked being
taken for "greenlhorn.p The
next day an Italian got into a
quarrel with the Jew and they
took II into court. When the Jew
found that he had to face Mr..
Bush he quickly and willingly paid
back the aoc. The Italian was
fined u and costs. Now the ques-
ton is, did the 4oc serve as a
bribe, or did the Judge give JUS
tice In spite OF the impositionq
Most people would have been
tempted 10 give the Jew at least
% days at making good roads.

Accidents.

l. Will Duncan had a rather un-
pleasant experience re ntly. White
drawing water from a big cistern
on the Frank C,stle place south
west OF town, sie platform gave
way and he went down with il,
landing had foremost in four
feet OF water AMI mud. II was
about 20 feet to the water, SO he
was unable to get on. although
not hurt badly. Mr.. Moore, a
neighbor, rescued him.
While bringing his display o.
bees and honey to Marshall Nor.
day evening from Miami, II. C..
Gadberry had the misfortune TO
drive off the end OF a culvert. He
was thrown from the wagon into
a ditch and received a ducking. II
had probably been a long time
since he was baptised, so that
part proved fortunatei He lost
nothing by the experience, al
tnough ne had to unload and re-
load.
A deplorable accident happened
on the northwest corner OF the
square Friday when a nice horse
driven by Asa Duncan, OF near
Saline City, was run into by n
buggy driven by three ladies'. The
shaft Of the buggy was forced m
to the horses side behind the
front leg. The horse was taken
10 the veterinary hospital but
died that night In great pain.
We failed to learn who the ladies
we're dsiving the rig which did
the damage.

Dut It missed a fine display OF
apples when T. e. Mitchell, who
resides east OF the Colony, failed
TO get his "wolf Rivers" In be-
cause he didn't have the time to
get them ready. Mr.. Mitchell
brought us In a basket full Fri-
aay and We must say they were
the prettiest and most perfect lot
Oh apples to be found anywhere.

Vine, Tenn, who passed through
Marshall In an auto last wednes-
day on his way to Detroit, Michi-
gan, was fined $3T by Judge Fer
ril on a charge OF trying to oper-
ate an auto while intoxicated. He
must have found the roads rath-
er long and took to drink before
reaching here. He was unable to
handle his auto near the Colony
and 1t blocked the road with the
result that. he was arrested.
Frank McCarty, OF near Mt.
Olive, was tried in Justice Bush's

where a dance was going on, He
drew n gun on Mr.. Maddox and
the latter put him TO sleep with
his club to keep him from shooS-
ing. He was given a preliminary

DEATHS

HARVEY HORTON, died at tn,
home of Clarence Hopkins, at Mt
Leonard, on Friday, August 18th
1911, aged fifty-seven years. Hi
death was the result of injurie,
received in a runaway with 9
mule team on Wednesday, August
10th at Mt. Leonard. He had beer
to Sweet Springs and was return.
ing with wagon when the ac-
cident occurred. In company with
Ernest Hynson, OF near Miami, who
was driving team immediately
ahead OF Mr.. Horton, they were
just leaving Mt. Leonard when
they were overtaken by an auto
mobile travelling across the state
and on its way from Kansas City
to st. Louis. Several automobiles
had come through Mt. Leonard
shortly before engaged in an en-
durance contest. The car which
caused the accident was a Doris,
driven by James Baker, OF st.
In coming upon the wagons driven
by Horton and Hynson, the team
driven by Horton which was in the
rear, became frightened and ran
away, becoming uncomfortable.
Haynson's team also ran away.
Two other wagons, driven by viii
Downs and Tom Martin, OF Malta
Bend, were just ahead o. these
two wagons. and as Horizons team
passed that OF viii Downs, Hor-
ton was seen TO fall ont OF his
wagon and was struck by the
rear wheel 'of his wagon and also
struck BY the wheels OF the wagon
driven by Hynson. There Is some
conflict In the evidence given be-
fore County Coroner, DR.. G. z.
scrutchfleld, taken on Wednesday
morning.. August 23rd, at Mt.
Leonard, as to whether the auto
mobile gave any signal as Il ap-
proached .the rear wagon. Four
eye witnesses state that they did
signal 'dndIsiow up and stopped
the machine, while the drivers OF
the wagons state that they did
not stop until they told them to
and after Horton had fallen out
and received the injuries which re-
suited In his death. He was taken
back to. DIR. Tuttie's residence by
the automobile and there left in
the care OF a physician. He had
received severe injuries, having
three ribs broken in his right side
and the ribs OF his left side were
all broken and detached from the |
spinal clumn. He fingered, gradu-
ally weakening, until Friday morn
Ing, when he, died at about 3.s5
O'Clock. His funeral services were
conducted by. Rev. Leatherman,
pastor OF the Methodist church,
OF Malta Bend and burial at Union
Cemetery, near Blosser.
Deceased was born at Covington,
Kentucky, December 1854. While
yet quite young he came to Mis-
souri,, where he made his home
with his uncle, the late I. A. God
man, OF near Miami. II Is most
sad and unfortunate occurrence in
every sense. Harvey Horton was
a man whom, everyone liked and
he had many friends In the com
munity where he lived. Always
genial and kind by nature, he made
friends OF all who came In contact
with him. As a testimonial of the
high regard held for him, every
family In that community was rep
resented at his funeral. He had
the absolute confidence OF all
with whom he had business deal
ings, trusted and faithful to every
trust reposed In him. II Is one of
those very sad occurrences that
cost the life Of worthy man. He
leaves one brother, William Hor-
ton, OF the State OF Washington,
besides others more distantly re-
lated.
