Another Christmas has come and gone. It was bright and
 merry one to the youthful and gay. It brought pleasure to the little ones, and filled old hearts
 with joy to see their children
 and grandchildren reap the har- vest of pure delight from their many toys and Christmas tokens but at the same time there was a veiw of sadness which pervaded the atmosphere of those who have seen a half hundred, or more of Christmas days pass by. It reminded them of the scenes
 of other days and of old friends long since gone to their reward. The world moves on and time waits not, and the child of to-day will be the man or the woman of tomorrow. But notwithstand- ing the vicisitudes and rapidly revolving wheels of time, there is always good things in store for all, old and young, if they will only reach out and except them.

MEXICAN KILLED

Last Sunday morning, while on
his way to the A. T. & S. F. depot
where he is employed. T. w. Nc
Curdy noticed a man lying near
the tracks about one hundred
yards West of the depot, and
stopped to investigate, thinking
perhaps that he might either be
sick or drunk.
He was shocked to find that
the man. who was a Mexican,
was dead. and Immediately pro-
ceeded to notify Marshal House,
who. upon investigation. found
that he had been murdered.
Marshal House at once took
steps to locate the murderer and
found that the dead man had
been out Saturday evening with
another Mexican, who is known
as Franco Elvira, and he sent
word at once in all directions to
have him apprehended, with the
result that in less than two hours
after the discovery of the body
the wanted man was captured in
Syracuse, Kan.
DR.. Davis and Sheriff Down
ing came down from Lamar to
hold an investigation, a coronor's
jury, consisting of the following
men being summoned: Will
Crowell. John Rydder, w. w.
Wilbur, Andrew Burch, w. C.
Simpson and George Link. The
investigation showed that the
man had been shot in the left
breast, the bullet glancing down
ward and coming out under the
shoulder. The dead man was
known here as Martinez Contrenz.
Witnesses testified that four
shot had been heard to be fired
on Saturday evening about 1890, 1
and the crime is supposed to have
been committed about that time.
The prisoner has confessed to
the killing. claiming that same
was done in self-defense. He is
at present in the Lamar Jail. The
killing is supposed to have been
caused over a job on the section.
An open pocket knife, with a
blade about seven inches long,
was found alongside the body.

MR.. sdoMYER PROTESTS

The Chieftain is in receipt of a
letter from Mr.. Geo. R. Momyer,
superintendent of the Lamar
High School, in which he states
that our article of last week re-
garding the fact that the schools
of that city used stationery which
had been printed out of thaHtown,
was unjust, he explaining that
same was a special order which
had been furnished free by a
typewriter concern in order to
reduce the expense of conducting
the farmers Week" of that
school.
We are GLAD, indeed to learn
that same was only a special
order, but Mr.. Momyer must ad-
init that the evidence was entire
ly against him and that we had
sufficient grounds for our article.

INJURIES CAUSE DEATH

On Sunday morning, Jan. oath.
q number of boys of this town
were amusing themselves by
playing with an old spring wagon.
they dragging same through the
streets, entering and leaving
same at will.
In some manner when attempt
ing to get on this wagon Wilhelm
Rohrig missed his hold and struck
the end Of the wagon full upon
his stomach, he slipping from
there to the ground. The pain
was very trif1ing and did not
cause the boy or others to cease
their play.
On Sunday evening little Will
helm was taken with severe pains
in the stomach, and they gradu-
ally becoming worse despite the
simple home remedies admins
tered, doctor was summoned.
After an investigation, no one
knowing that he had been injured
on this old wagon, it was decided
that he might be threatened with
an attack of appendicitis. and he
was treated for that disease.
Late Friday afternoon, after he
had failed to show any improve
ment from the treatment, it was
then believed that he might have
received internal injuries in some
manner. and after considerable
questioning he admitted that he
had been injured as above de-
scribed, but he had spoken too
late, and it was found that moth
ing could be done for him, he
passing away last Saturday morn
ing at nine o'clock.
Funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon from the Presby-
terian church, Rev. P. H. Penne-
kamp Of the Deerfield German
Lutheran church conducting the
same.
Wilhelm Rohrig was 10 years,
six months and fifteen days old,
and was q son of Mr.. and Mrs.
]. Rohrig. He was a manly little
fellow and Z general favorite with
his boy companions.
