o'clock an unknown man belong
ing to Robinson's Circus was in
stantly killed as were two fine
black horses. The circus was
loading what paraphernalia they
did not need for the evenings per-
Torrance, and it seems that the
driver had driven his team onto
the main track, when No. s., a linn
tied express came down the hill
striking the team and man with
the above result. Coroner Hen
sley was notified and Sunday
morning held an inquest which
resulted in a verdict of accidental
death. The management of the
circus could not give the name of
the man who was killed, as they
stated he was only with them a
day or two prior to his DEATH
De Soto Republican.
j. G. O'Neal was hit in the side
of the head and seriously hurt by
a rock thrown by a man by the
name of Buxton at Irondale Tues
day loon. Buxton, it seems,
owes Mr.. O'Neal a store bill,
and they were talking of the ac-
count, when, without a word
of warming, Buxton picked up a
rock, and hurled it at O'Neal, bad
ly cutting his ear. The force of
the blow knocked ON cal to the
ground, but he did not lose con-
seriousness. AT first it was not
thought the injured mar was bad
ly hurt, but in a short time his suf-
fering became so great that the To-
cal physician grew alarmed and
t~elegraphed to st. Louis for a spe-
cialist. The many friends of the
family in Iron county hope Mr..
O'Neal's recovery will be rapid.
Attorney j. H. Raney was here
last Friday for the purpose OF FL
ing a suit against w. M. Earring
ton, administrator of the estate of
Harriet HI. Emerson, deceased. In
this suit MI. Raney represents the
heirs of the late Merrifeld Huff, an
attorney at Pennington. Some
time before his death Mr.. Huff
made q contract with the de.
fendant to bring suit against the
estates of j. w. Emerson and Sar

this contract the Huff heirs claim
something like $1,000. Earring.

probably go to the Supreme
Court. This means three or foul
