purpose of making trade. He had
secured the revolver from another
person few days before trading for it
an old suit of clothes. He got the cart
ridges with it, and got them TO trade.
When he was forced back against the
machine he was afraid his father would
dig his eyes out which he had threaten
ed to do, and which he tried TO do at
one time, and in some way he got the
revolver and fired twice. He did not
know what part OF his father he aimed
mt, whether his head, chest or feet. He
was excited and his fathers choking
him had deprived him of his mind. At
the second shot his father fell and he
ran out of the house and ran to the
home of Bruce Fales, mile and half
away where his mother was working.
He got his mother and told her he had
shot his father and together they re-
turned TO the house.

WILLIAM /. FARGO
CALLED To REST
After Months of Suffering Fin
ally Succumbs to
Disease
A GOOD MAN GONE HOME
Final Summons Came Tuesday-Was
Founder of Fargo Shoe Co.
Burial in Chicago
A GOOD MAN GONE HOMI

Last Tuesday morning, after months
OF suffering following seeming COM
plete breakdown, death came TO the
relief of William III. Fargo, founder OF
the Fargo Shoe Co., and a highly
respected citizen of our community. The
final summons came about $3.50 o'clock
and was simply an end TO an uncon-
scious condition which had held him
for several days.
William III. Fargo came TO this city
about six years ago aud interested our
citizens in a proposition to establish a
shoe factory in Belding. After proper
negotiations had been completed, the
factory was opened and another in
dustry was added TO our thriving city.
A hard working man he with his son
Buel carried the enterprise along in
good shape until about the first of last
March when he was suddenly stricken
in the fullness of his manhood with
some strange malady which at once
incapacitated him for further work
along business lines. Gradually the
insidious disease undermine his strong
constitution unlil at length the inev-
liable end came TO his relief.
Mr.. Fargo was about fifty-fve years
of age and up to the time of his last
illness had been quite strong and rug
ged. lie leaves devoted and loving
wife, one son George Buel Fargo and
three daughters, Mrs. Roy Reynolds,
Miss Ruth and Miss Margaret all of
this city. Funeral services were held
at the late home at one o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon and the remains were
taken 10 his former home in Chicago
for interment. An autopsy conducted
Tuesday afternoon revealed the fact
that his death was largely due to a
stomach trouble for which there SEEM
ed TO be no help. A good man has
crossed the great divide and those of us
who have known him SO well and
favorably will know hin no more for
ever.

Is Prospering

The Portland Review has this TO say
of Chris Hanson who was night clerk
at Hotel Belding several years ago.
"Christopher Hanson, the best friend
Portland housewives have, because he
can always be depended upon to help
them at housecleaning time, is Dane
"a native of Denmark. Chris is only
young man, and one Of the thriftiest
in Portland. He owns nice little
home on the west side and will be well
off if he lives a few years longer and re-
tains his health. He tells some funny
stories, now he has become American
lied, about his first few months in this
country.
Chris was lad of thirteen when he
came over the big pond and the first
work he did was in the Phelps House,
at Greenville, where he was bell boy
and later at Hotel Belding. Among
other duties he was supposed to arouse
the travelling men who were to take
the early Pere Marquette train leaving
Greenville soon after 800 a. m. The
conductor also boarded at the hotel and
was included among those to be awak-
ened. Chris did the work all right un-
ill one morning when there were no
travelling men to go. He pondered a
few moments on whether he had better
call the conductor as usual, and his con.
clusion was that as there was no travel
ling men TO take the train it would not
be necessary to run it and so he let the
conductor sleep until long after time
for the train to depart The air was
blue when this dignitary awoke OF his
own accord and sought out the bell boy,
but his bland explanation saved Chris
from loss Of job and thereafter the
conduct was always called, whether
there were passengers or not.

SORRY He SHOT
HIS FATHER
John Trowbridge Says He Has
Prayed For Him To
Get Well
TELLS HIS STORY
Expected Father Would Choke Him
To Death Or Dig His
Eyes Out

81 do hope my father gets well, j
have prayed half the night for him to
get well, y said John Trowbridge Fri
day when informed that the latest re-
ports from his father were TO the effect
that he probably would recover unless
blood poisoning set in. Although the
bullet has not been found it is thought
that it did not penetrate so deeply as at
first thought and that ii is imbedded in
his throat. 1t was at first thought that
it had gone into the lungs but the ceas-
ing of the hemorrhage indicates that
such was not the case.
John Trowbridge told his story of the
shooting of his father Thursday after
he been taken TO Jail by Deputy Sheriff
Webster of this city. According TO
Trowbridge's statement, he had been to
Belding on Wednesday and returned to
Chadwick on the evening train, walk
ing from there home after having had
supper at the home of a resident there,
Hiram Hall.
He also stopped at George JEWELS
on his way and arrived home about
eight O'clock He had been home
about an hour when the trouble be-
tween him and his father happened.
He had some money, he said which
he had gotten from the sale of musk
rat skins at Belding, and when he
arrived home his father was counting
his money. He asked the old man for
the loan of five dollars for which he Of
fered to pay him two dollars if he
would let him have it till Saturday
night. At that John says the elder
Trowbridge became violently angry
and sprang upon him, seizing him by
the throat with one hand while he hit
him in the face and on the head with
his fist. The prisoner stated that his
head was sore and his throat hurt him
as result of the pounding.
He was gradually forced back by the
fathers attack against the sewing ma
chine which stood there. He had pre-
viously laid his revolver on the sewing
machine having taken it out for the
