Chautau4un u Treat.
Those who did not attend the chau-
tauQua last week missed great treat.
Those who were there were delighted
with the program. The addresses
were a rare treat to everyone who
heard them. and some Of the audience
must have laughed the blues away
forever. Besides the good lectures
given, these speakers did what few
entertainers can do-1nade friends
with their audience. They placed
themselves with them and knew what
they wanted to hear and the audiences
responded with great appreciation

FOUND LYING DEAD
 ON UNUSED HIGHWAY
Mystery Surrounds Death of J. R. Sherer Near Jasper.
 Head Almost Blown Off

Jasper, July 1.--(Special) )-With all his face above the nose, and half his head extending to the back of the neck blown away, J. R. Sherer, of near Gamble mines, was found lying dead on an un- used road three and half miles from here about noon today.
 The find was reported by a man who happened to be passing that way. MT. Sherers body was lying face on the ground and fragments of his head and brains were scattered over an aree oi 25 or 30 feet. Parallel with his body on the opposite side of a small pine log was a single barrel shotgun which MT. Sherer had carried with him.
 Sheriff J. M. Gray and Coroner J. O. Johnson went to the scene, but could find no material evidence of foul play. Two theories are advanced as to the cause of the death-accidental and suicidal.
 In favor of the accidental theory, 1t Is stated that MT. Sherer went to the forest early in the morning where he was hay ing some cross ties made and was as- sisting in the work. He carried his gun as was his custom, and his son accom- panied him to relieve him in case he would not be able to hold out during the day. About 10 o'clock he complained of being unable to work and taking his gun started for home. It is believed he start ed to place the gun by the pine log and it struck some object which caused 1t to discharge its load, entering his head through the temple.
 It is mere suppostion but is not be- lieved by any who knew him, that he might have taken his life. MT. Sherer was a member of the. large Sherer family of this county was quiet. peaceful man. about 30 years of age, and is survived by his widow and two sons. Coroner John son will impanel his jury Friday to in- vestgate the cause of his death.
