DEATH OF W. 3. sPAULDINe.

Payette people were shocked on
Thursday evening to learn Of the
death OF W. B.. Spaulding. While
I Mr. Spaulding had been in i'll health
[ for some time and at his advanced
age many OF his friends had ceased
I to hope for his recovery, yet the
news Of his demise was a distinct
shock to many. He had long
[ been a sufferer from heart trouble
and last fall went with his brother
to Santa Maria to spend the winter
where for a time he seemed to i'm
prove but about the tenth Of Feb
ruary word was received by his son
L. w. Spaulding that his father
was in poor health. Accompanied
by his sister Mrs. NJ. E. Wood, Mr..
Spaulding left at once for Santa
Maria and finding his father better
the trip back to Payette was made
at once and for a time the coming
back seemed to have benefited him
but on Thursday evening he passed
away.
w. B. Spaulding was born at Hen
derson, Illinois, February 13, 1884,
being at the time of his death rs
years and 16 days old. In 1859 he
went to Westmoreland, Kansas,
where he entered upon the life OF
a farmer and in 1861 purchased a
ranch upon which he built a home
and in 1862 was united in marriage
to Miss Mary J. Gard and for thi--
ty-one years this couple lived upon
the same farm and under tEeir care
full care and attention it was brought
to a high state Of cultivation and
became known as one of the model
farms Of that section. Three child
ren we're born to them. L. w. Spauld-
ing and Mrs. NJ E. Wood Of this
city and one son George who died in
infancy. His wife died in 1891 and
for a time he kept house with his
daughter but upon her marriage to
NJ. E. Wood made his home with
them a part Of the time and with
his son L. W. Spaulding the balance
OF the time. Nine years ago when
his son and daughter came to Pay
cite he soon followed them here
and~since that time has made his
home with them.
W. B. Spaulding leaves a host oil
friends in Payette that will miss his
kindly smile and friendly greeting.
II was the writer's privilege TO know
him personally and esteem him as
friend worth while. He was a man
Of generous impulses and never for
got the hospitable ways Of the pi-
oneer. In his earlier days in Kan
cas- he knew adversely and bravely
met il. Later in life he quietly er-
joyed the prosperity that came to
him after years OF labor on his farm
in the Sunflower state. He WIS
kind and affectionate father and
filled the various relations Of life
as son. husband, father and brother
and filled them well But his life
work was done. He wearled OF the
cares and suffering and Thursday ey-
ening quietly lay down to rest. he
lived nobly and died peacefully. Few
Of US will live as long or as well
as did this good man and fewer yet
viii the angel Of death greet with
such a loving touch.
The funeral services we're held sat
urday afternoon at the Baptist church
by Rev. Van Engelen and the re-
mains we're taken to westmore'and,
Kansas. by his son L. W. spauld ng'
and his daughter Mrs NJ. E Wood to
be laid to rest beside those OF the
wife.

the AGE LIMIT OF ANIMALS
THIRTY YEARS SAID TO CONSTITUTE THE AVERAGE SPAN OF
LIFE FOR THE LARGER BEASTS.

The death Of the London Zoos giant
python from senile decay reminds us
that the woes and disabilities Of old
age exist in the mysterious world OF
animals as they do with men. How
long must a python live before it can
become a pa,riarchal python, and
an electric eel to parallel the bald
and toothless stage OF man:
The case OF the python, u~nfortu-
nately, gives us little light. He has
lived ii years in the ZOO. but then he
was fully matured when he entered.
He may have lived so or 100 years.
or even more, in d free state before

little is known of the normal times of
wild creatures. Animals do not have
annual rings. like trees: such creatures

by creatures in captivity may be very.

Whitehead, 10 years old, son OF a
farmer, and Mrs. L. Hendricks,
neighbor, were placed under the pas

bitten by animals believed to have
been suffering from rabies.
A neighborhood dog became mad
about two weeks ago and bit White
heads watchdog, then leaped over his
barnyard fence and seized a mule by
the leg. lacerated it's flesh. The mule
became mad and bit young Whitehead
as he was passing through the barn
lot. Screaming for help. the boy ran
toward the house and was bitten a
second time by the dog.
Sam Heath, farm hand, heard the
boys screams. Picking up fence rail-
he ran to the barnyard and the mule
attacked him. In a desperate fight

Hendricks, believing it was only sick,

seized with a fit and chewed her four
fingers off.
According to James Whitehead, his
boy has developed symptoms of Illness
which physicians pronounced certain
stages of hydrophibia. Mrs. Hendricks
has so far developed no alarming con
hitions. although she is positive the

mad.
