Among all the relics that changed

\ Jewel; a little cheap gold brooch, but
nothing more. She did not live to
share her husbands better prosperity,
and her own habits, as maid and wife,
were frugal. A passage in the letters
records the misgivings of the lovers,
each of whom supposed the other to be
accustomed to some degree of luxury.

CLARK COUNTY GIANT
BARS MINISTERS and
WRITES OWN SERMON
free Thought Thesis Prepared
by Corpse Only Service Held
at Hoblit Funeral.

Clark, s. D., Aug. 25.-Information
has reached here of the death at Chris
toval, Tex, of Cation Hoblit, who for
many years was a resident of Clark
county. and who during his residence
mere enjoyed the distinction of being
the largest man in South Dakota, tip
ping the scales at 512 pounds. About
a year age a report reached South Da-
kota that he had been shot and killed
In e by a Mexican, but this proved
u~nfounded.
Hoblit was also distinguished as one
of the most peculiar men who ever re-
sided in South Dakota. One of his
peculiarities was illustrated at. his flu
neral. when at his request no clergy
men were present and a funeral Grafton
prepared by him during the closing
days of his life was read, this being
practically the sole ceremony at the fu-
neral. He was a believer in free
thought.
Hoblit was born December 2, 1850,
on a farm near Atlanta, Ill. At the age
Of 10 he began serving in a public ca
pacity as constable, deputy sheriff and
city marshal, c~onsecutively, for IL
years. He was first married in 1871,
his wife dying three years later. In
1877 he married a second time and in
1882 came to Dakota with his wife,
locating on q homestead in Clark coun-
ty. In 1889 he was admitted to the
bar, but decided not to leave the farm,
so he never engaged in active practice
as a lawyer. In 1909 he rented his
large and well improved farm near here
and moved to Texas, where he engaged
in the ranch business. About a year
ago he was stricken with paralysis and
never recovered from its effects.

while the latter was abusing his
estranged wife, rests under a formal
