In Loving Memory

OF Rae Coffman Ruthven, who died
May IS. 1909.
No more her kind and loving face
Shall light the gloom of home,
Yet in memory's love we see her
While in sorrow We are alone.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure.
Earth the lonely casket keeps.
And the sunbeams love to Hnger
Where our dearest wife and mother
sleeps.
From her loving son and husband.

acknowledges that he killed Glover
The lad tells the police a straightfor.

that he is holding back the real cir,
cumstances. He tells that Glover was
at his house and had dog with him.
He quarrelled or pretended to quarrel
with the boy over the dog and the lad
was frightened. He said he would
sick" the dog on him if he did not
leave, and still threatening further
said: IF you don't believe it you take
this gun and kill me-" ;, The boy seiz.

hitting the man in the stomach. He
died almost instantly. The police

to believe that Glover and the boys
mother quarreled and the boy did the
shooting to protect the woman
When asked why he killed the man
he replied that he only did what he

JAS. BARRETT MISSING
Left His Home Near Wright Jan. 9,
and had $1,000 to $4,000.

James Barrett, whose absence has
caused considerable excitement and
worry among relatives and fellow
townspeople, is still unheard of.
Barrett, who is aged 81 years, left his
home near Wright about January 9Th.
He is claimed to have gone to Meg
leo in search of purChasable land. He
took between $4,000 and $4,000 in
bankable drafts. Since the time he
left Wright he has not been heard of
in any manner. Some are of the
opinion that he has met foul play, be-
ing an old man and having a large
sum in his possession. His wife still
resides at Centerville.
The missing man is the father of
Chas. Barrett, who was murdered in
Oskaloosa last September and for
which crime Grant Brown is now
serving a life sentence.

Charles Without, aged fifteen
years, son of w. J. Willhoit, was the
victim of a painful accident that oc-
CURED Saturday afternoon at the
without farm northeast of the city.
Charles and his brother were disc
ing in a field near the house and
stopping, Charles sat on the disc to
rest. A shepperd dog that has been
his playmate since a small boy, and
always following him, approached
when they stopped. The dog play
fully jumped toward the boy, both
his paws alighting on his shoulders.
The dog misjudged the distance
and his sharp teeth came in contact
with Charles right cheek. The force
of the dog tore the flesh and skin
from the cheek-bone to the lips. A
physician was called and the lad
taken to the Oskaloosa hospital. The
wound was sewed up and is appar.
emily getting along as well as could
be expected. This morning Charles
seemed to be suffering no pain.
although his face was swollen. The
accident was an unfortunate affair as
the lad received injuries that will
mark him for life.
