Obituary

One of the saddest accidents that
Valley Center neighborhood has ever
suffered happened Tuesday afternoon,
August 20, when Nellie, youngest
| daughter of j. P. Lemons, was struck
and instantly killed by lightning.
The family lives in Mount Olive
District, Beaver Co., Okla, and were
visiting at the home of Geo. Louder
back in Seward County.
The young folks were engaged in a
game of croquet when the rain began
falling, and they ran into broom
corn shed for shelter. Almost the
same instant they ran inside, a bolt
of lightning struck them, causing
| Nellie's instant death and shocking
her cousins, Alva and Roy Louder
! back.
All that loving parents and friends
could do to revive the children was
done, but Nellie had passed to the
beautiful beyond, without a moments
suffering.
Nellie Christina Lemons was born
near Driftwood, Okla, Dec. 7, 1899,
and died Aug 20, 1912, aged 10
years, months and l3 days. At the
age of five years her parents moved
to Waldron, Kansas, where they re-
sided until Nov. Is, 1910, when they
moved to Beaver Co., Okla.
During the short time they had
lived in this vicinity she had made
many friends and was loved by al.
who knew her.
She attended school at Valley Cen
ter one term and at Mount Olive the
last winter. Little schoolmates and
friends from far and near mingled
their tears In last farewell to one
whom they had learned to love-
She lived a true Christian life and
leaves father, mother, one brother,
Russell, and one sister, Olive, to
mourn her death, but they have the
promise to meet her where partings
are no more, to console them.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. Journigan at the Louder
back home on account of the illness
of the boys and the procession which
followed the remains to the Floris
cemetery was one of the longest
ever witnessed here.
CARD OF THANKS

The announcement Of the vice-prest

taken for the proper recognition OF
the sorrowful event. Mr.. Sherman was

regarded as the first citizen of Utica,
and all differences growing out of poll
tics died with him.
The mayor gave out statement
voicing the general grief. and the big
bell at City hall as we'll as many
church bells tolled out the doleful
news to public to which it was not
news.
Not only did the Republican organ.
ization take proper recognition OF the
event. but the Democrats and Roose
welt supporters announced their inten.
ton of canceling all meeting until
after the presidents funeral.
James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice.
president OF the United States, was
born in Utica, N. Y, on October "a,
1856. He was married in 1881 to Car
rie Babcock at East Orange, N.
They have three sons, Sheriff., Rich
ard U. and Thomas M, all living and
in business In Utica. The vice-pres,
dent was an Elk, a trustee of Hamik
ton college. a member of Dutch Re,
formed church. a member of many
clubs and business man of wide In.
.erests.
Sherman belonged to the school OF
Republicanism nowadays popular
called regular" and he fought his
political battles without compromise
or flinching, The events he helped
TO shape are so comparatively recent
that history cannot assign him to his
proper place until 1t also records the
work OF his contemporaries.
To the House of Representatives of
the Fiftieth congress he came in the
winter OF 1887, just passed his thirty
second birthday.
He had been elected mayor of Utica
two years before. Like many others
who came to lead In the national
legislature, he brought with him an
education in law. He was we'll born
and well bred. His father. Richard
w, Sherman, was sn editor and pub
lie figure in New York state.
Two sessions OF congress found Sher-
man defeated and out OF office. but
not for long.
Henry w Bentley OF Boonville,
Oneida county. beat him by less than
a thousand votes in the race for the
Fifty-seoond congress. In the interim
Sherman went back to Utica, built up
! his law practice and returned to the
Fifty.third congress with signal vic
tory. He remained in the house with.
out defeat to the Sixtieth congress,
when he WAS nominated and elected
vice-president on the ticket with Mr..

Treatment" and confesses Murder.

Chicago-Broken by hours of Isl.
lent treatment" the humane but eff
fective third degree devised by Cap
tain Max Nootbaar of the Chicago pc
lice, Charles N. Kramer confessed
Saturday afternoon that he killed
Sophia Singer, the Baltimore heiress
found murdered here October 2S.
Kramer, known generally by his
stage name of Conway, in the final
confession added a new feature to
the statement given the previous day
by his wife. He said he struck Miss
Singer down in self defense, when
she attacked him with a razor, after
he had rebuked her for making a sug
gestion to Mrs. Kramer to go out and
meet some men. Kramer exonerated
his wife from all blame in connection
with the crime.
