FIRED UPON FROM AMBUSH
Samuel erosion Killed While Riding on His
Horse Shooting a Mystery.


On Saturday evening, ar Samuel Cros'
ton was returning from Philippi to bis
home few miles below town, he was
shot in the road near the old log church,
near the Fridley hill. Whoever did the
deed was stationed, tits supposed, above
the road and just as he passed on his horse
the contents of shotgun loaded with
huckshot were emptied into his back,
killing him instantly, no doubt Some
think that two other shots were fred at
him after he fel from his horse, as some
shot were found in his leg.
Several empty shells were found above
the road, which gave room for the belief
that the assailant was stationed there.
There are many theories about the
shooting aad its cause, advanced by diff
ferent people. The coroner held an in
quest on Sunday over the body, and
found the verdict that the deceased came
to his death from the result Of gun shot
wound. at the hands OF an unknown
party.
The remains were buried near the
home on Monday afternoon. The de-

THE SIMPLE LIFE.

IF you would live at your
ease" says Democritus, manage
but a few things" | think it
had been better If he had said,
do nothing but what Is neces-
sary and what becomes the rea-
son of social being and in the
order, too, 1t prescribes it" for
by this rule man has the dou-
BILE pleasure of making his ac-
tons good and few in the bar
gain, for, the greater part Of
what we say and do being TN
necessary, II this were but once
retrenched we should have both
more leisure and less disturb
ance. And therefore before a
man sets forward he should ask
himself this question: Am
upon the verge Of something I'M
necessary r. Further. we should
apply this hint to what we think
as well as to what we do, for
impertinence Of thought draws
unnecessary action aftes it.
