the civil war, died at his residence.
1712 Orleans avenue, at $50 o'clock
Friday evening.
The deceased was born at Sheffield
Ashtabula, county, Ohio, June IL
1929. He was married at Freeport
Ohio, and afterwards came to Keokuk
where his wife died here July 6. 1891
October IA, 1896. he was married a
second time to Mrs. Emma Carss, who
survives him
He enlisted in company I, Fifteenth

and was wounded at Corinth, Miss
In 1864, he re-enlisted and continued
in a hospital and lost one of his eyes
in the service. He went through MANY
experiences, some of which were dan
gerous and thrilling during his soldier
life and he would tell them with ami

combatants. Fighting of this nature
is extremely deadly"
This system of fighting, as described
by Colonel Swinton, means that the
Germans endeavor to get closer to
the allied trenches from their own by
burrowing under the ground, then ex-
pIoding the "saps" or tunnels, nearest
their foes line and enable the storm
ers to rush forward to close quarters.
Continuing, the report declares:
THE last three days have been the
quietest experienced in weeks. The
Germans pressed only in one quart
and that was against the Indian troops
south of the Jys. There was some
Smelling of the Indians trenches.
There is little dout that the Ger
mans are employing civilians in the
digging of trenches. German officers
who have been made prisoners admit
the failure of their strategy. They
are very gloomy. but there is no def
mite indication OF lack Of morale
among the troops"

 The pallbearers were; Judge Samuel E. Greene Col T. O. Smith, Dr. J. D. S. Davis, Frank w. Smith, J. B. AAird, Ray W. Smith. J. P. DeJarnette, Alger non Driver. Chris Rainbow and Paul Copeland.
 The train which struck Captain smith was in charge of Conductor R. E. Broyes and Engineer H. c. Fleming. Their state ment of the accident was to the effect that the train was going at a moderate rate of speed, but that owing to the sharp angle of the curve at Beverly cross ing the engineer was unable to see anyone crossing the tracks in time to stop. The engine whistle was blown continuously on approaching the crossing, they claim.
 Coroner Charles l.. Spain, who will conduct an inquest into the accident pos- sibly this afternoon, says that the state- ments of eyewitnesses were to the effect that Captain Smith started to cross the tracks, then seemed to hesitate before starting forward again. He was struck and hurled about 40 feet. having nearly every bone in his body broken.
 MT Smith was born and raised in Jeff ferson county. He was sheriff from 1888 to 1892, and it was he who defended the county jail on the night of December 5, 1888, from the mob in the Hawes riot
