George W. Prescott, Liberty's Oldest voter
and lifelong resident, passed to his reward
on Sunday, Dec. 9th, at the advanced age of
nearly SS years. His parents were Gen. Oren
and Lucy (Bryant) Prescott. Two children
survive him: Mrs. Lizzie NJ Goodrich of DAN
vers, Mass, and John w.. who resides on the
home farm, and who with his wife carefully
and patiently ministered to his every need
during his last sickness of fifteen weeks. He
was laid to rest besides his wife in South
Montville cemetery Tuesday. Rev. E. A. Dins-
low speaking words of consolation, and "Only
Remembered" and go Bury Thy Sorrow"
were rendered by the male quartet. Mr.. Pres
colt was the last survivor of those who built
the South Montville Free Baptist church and
Its second oldest member, having member
ship of more than Sc years. He was faithful
and obedient to all its calls and was for many
years the superintendent of the Sunday
school. He was especially generous with the
poor and the afflicted and his hand always had
something for them besides cheerful words
and we feel that many in their hearts have
called him blessed. Mr.. Prescott was one of
the best, if not the best, farmer in Liberty
and his crops and stock were well known for
quantity and quality. He was one of the
selectmen of his town for twelve years and
applied the same energy and ability to road
building and town affairs that characterized his
labors through life. And in the sentiment of
Bryant, he was soothed and sustained by an
unfaltering trust and approached his grave
"lke one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant Dreams"

Bowling. prominent oil operator of Tulsa, Okla, was committed to jail for contempt the act of contempt being an attack upon Attorney A F. Moss of Tulsa representing one of the other two sides. Goaded by the charges of Moss that he had dissipated the $S0.00o es- tate of his four children, Bowling glared at Moss His menacing hatred had attracted the attention of Clerk Thomas, who had written q note and was waiting an opportunity to pass it to the court. suggesting the calling of an officer. But before the note could be transmitted. Bowling spranG upon Moss and inflicted several wildly deliv- cred blows. R. C. Standford, an att torney in the case, grasped Bowling's arm and others sprang in, but it was with difficulty that Bowling, who is q large and powerful man, could be dragged away. He was ordered to jail and was immediately removed.
 Bowling three years ago was ap pointed the guardian of the persons and estate of his four children of q Creek mother His bond was fur and Guaranty company. Some time later Bowling came to Phoenix and in some way had his guardianship established here. Not long ago it was brought to the notice of the bonding company that Bowling was drinking l heavily and was dissipating the es- tate. Attorney Standford, the local representative of the company, moved for the release of the company, and it was in that way that the matter came before the court yesterday.
 1 In the meantime, reports of the dis
 sipation of the estate reached the Oklahoma authorities and Bowling was removed by the court at Tulsa and a successor was appointed. A motion was then made for his re- moval by an order of this court, and
