Here is Cresco story that has stood

Shoots Grandmother Through Nose

A near tragedy occurred at the
John Stanton home west of town
that came very close to having u
serious ending.
On the death of their son-in-law,
Chas. Murray, a few years ago, Mr..
and Mrs. Stanton took three of their
grandchildren and have been caring
for them. Last Saturday afternoon
the eleven-year old boy picked up a
22-caliber rifle and aiming it at his
grandmother, shot her through the
nose just below the eyes. DR.. T. S.
Walker was called and the patient,
though an old lady is recovering.
The boy ran away and hid him
self after the shooting, but is said
to be about the place.-Riceville Re-

KILLED BY AUTOMOBILE.
Willie Becker, Sixteen Year Old
Boy Meets Instant Death
When Automobile Turns
Over.

Last week we had a brief men
ton of the death of Willie Becker
at Calmar, and the following is TAX
en- from the Calmar Courier, which
gives the full particulars of the ac-
cident:
The whole community was cast in
to a gloom by the trgic death Of
Willie Becker, a bright 16 year old
lad, son of j. D. Becker and wife of
this city, Wednesday morning, June
23rd, 1915.
Will took his fathers touring car
and accompanied by Paul Ode, son
of o. P. Ode and wife, started out
for a little ride, taking the road to
Fort Atkinson. They had not been
gone long before THE word came
back that the car had gone into
ditch and that one or both were
killed, and Mr.. Ode, DR.. Horton from
here and others hurried to the scene.
Help was soon at hand from people
near by and passers by.
Just why and how it happened is
hard to tell, as Will was driving and
his lips are forever sealed by the
cruel fate that destiny melted to him,
and as it all came about so quickly
with no time to tell, he would be
the only one who might know just
how it was caused.
The accident happened a little
way west of the Turkey river bridge
below the West mill, on the high
grade across the slough, just be-
fore coming to the little sand hill.
The car left the grade on the north
side on reaching the approach to the
| little bridge or culvert draining the
slough 1t grazed willow stump
on the side of the grade and rolled
over into the slough, pinning both
boys under the car. 1t is very evil
dent that Becker who was driving,
was instantly killed as he never
made a sound after going over, Paul
| Ode, however was more fortunate,
the car tipped onto his legs where
he was held until the car was lifted
| by those who came to the rescue.
He was practically unframed except
| for the awful shock.
| What made it more sad was the
fact that neither the father nor
mother were at home, and the life
| less boy was taken home and the
parents notified of the awful fate
their boy had come to. The father
was in McGregor on business per-
tanning to his calling as a plumber,
and the mother and her Oldest son,
Victor had gone out in the country,
Victor going on insurance business
in Mr.. Ode's car, going in the vicin-
| ity of Castalia. Mrs. Becker having
with her three of the younger chill
dren. 1t was surely a sad home COM
ing and a terrible shock, and the
sympathy of the people goes out TO
them in this time of great sorrow.
The funeral will be held Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock.

GROCERY COMPANY
TELLS OF ELEVATOR
NOUNCE ITS FUTURE
PLANS.

Official announcement of the plans
of the Merchants Grocery Company
of Hattiesburg to install grain ele.
vator here is being made today by Of
ficials of the company in letter be-
ing sent to the business men and
farmers throughout Forrest county.
The Hattiesburg Grocery Company
is also enlarging its elevator.
In their letter to the public, the Mer
chants Company says:
Realizing the fact that it is nee.
essary for the farmer to get away
from the one-crop idea of, all cotton
and diversity by planting more corn,
oats, ect., we have decided to help
them out as much as possible by in
stalling grain elevator in connection
with our business at this point.
1--WE are writing this that you may
tell your customers that they can plant
as heavy as they wish in grain, and
that they will be assured a staple mar
ket for. the same. We will have our
elevator in readiness to take care of
the corn crop this coming fall.
''We feel that this will be a good
thing for the whole country, as il
will establish confidence among the
farmers in making grain crops when
they know that there will be a reg
ular market for it."

Natchez. Miss, March 8. = James
Smith, the teamster of Bude, whose
neck was broken by fall Sunday, is
said to be at the point of death. A
desperate fight is being made by the
physicians of the Natchez Hospital TO
keep him alive.
Wednesday it was thought that he
was dying, but he rallied and though
his condition today is perhaps more
critical than at any time since the ac-
cident, hope is still felt that he may
survive. r., -. -
His wife and two brothers are with
him. A pulmotor was secured from
New Orleans and though it performed
its functions perfectly, it is not in.
tended for continuous service and has
to be supplemented.
The wonderful vitality displayed by
Smith is considered remarkable, for
though such cases have been known
before, they are extremely rare.
The vital spark has been kept in
his body by the unremitting care and
attention given him. Volunteers have
relieved the hospital attendants to
give respiration.
