home. about three miles out Of town.
Saturday morning. He was in town
Friday and tanked up on dispensary
whiskey.
He went home about night and
drove his family away from home.
Two of the boys went home early to
feed the stock. and see about their
father. and found him lying partly
under the bed with his clothes burned
off from his pants up.
1t Is supposed he lay down by the
fire as his custom was when intox-
icated. and thus came to his end. He
was a hard working man. living on
rented land. and usually made good
crops. but wasted much of his money
for whiskey. His wife and four or
five children survive him.
