Henry Happel Succumbs Just as
Grim Reaper Claims
Helpmate.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Happel, an
aged couple who lived on a farm about
four miles northwest of this city, died
at their home early yesterday morn
ing.
Mrs. Happel, expired at 1926 o'clock
and her husbands death followed five
minutes later.
Mrs. Happel had been in poor health
for several years, but the immediate
cause of her death was typhoid fever,
the first symptoms of which appeared
less than a week ago.. She was 81
years of age when she died.
Mr.. Happel has been an invalid for
a long time, being afflicted With urae-
mia, kidney disorder which caused
his death. His death was quiet, and
the end came without him knowing
that his wife had passed away a few
moments before He was 81 years old
when he died.
For many years the aged couple

aged and operated the farm for them,
and a daughter, Mrs. J. T. Hahn, the
wife of farmer residing near this
city
Mr.. Happel was born in Germany
on March 10, 1S47, and came to Amer
lea with his parents when he was
about two years of age.
Mrs. Happel was Miss Caroline

ternoon, at their home near Silica
Pits, by Francis Brown, a neighbor.
The Browns and Parkers are tie
makers, and they are working on adj
joining strips of timber. Sometime
ago a dispute was started over the To-
cation of a boundary line, and the feel
ing of bitterness between them has
continued to develop.
A short time ago, Parker is said to
have boosted that he could and would
whip the whole Brown family, which
consisted of the father and three
grown sons. When the report reach
ed Francis Brown, he slipped a
cartridge loaded with fine shot into his
gun and walked to the tent in which
Parker and his wife are living.
Parker saw the young man APP
preaching and evidently suspected
that he was seeking trouble. He is said
to have seized an ak after which he
advanced toward the approaching Wis
itor in threatening manner. Before
they met, however, Brown is said to
have covered Parker with his gun, and
commanded him to stop.
When the command was ignored,
The weekly tribune and the Cape County herald. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1914-1918, 1915-01-15

the young man fired, several shot en-
tering the chest and shoulders of his
adversary. Mrs. Parker who had fol
lowed her husband out of the tent and
was standing a short distance behind
him when the gun was discharged, al
so received a number of shot in her
arm.
After the shooting, young Parker
returned to his fathers house and af-
ter putting the gun away, left the
premises an has not since been seen.
No warrant has been issued for his
arrest, and no effort has been made to
capture him.
His victiss are being cared for at
their home, and both are in a serious
condition.

SEEK TO
BAR ORREN WILSON
Justice of the Peace May Be
Prohibited From Practicing
In Mo. Courts.

Orren Wilson, for fifteen years q
member of the Cape Girardeau Coun-
ty Bar Association and a Justice OF
the Peace of this city, is under charges
by the Bar Association, which may re-
suit in him being forbidden to prac-
ttice before the courts.
While it is known that charges of
conduct unbecoming a member of the
bar have been filed against him, it is
not known what the specific allega-
tions are. A committee has been ap-
pointed by the Bar Association to
take up the matter and report at the
next term of the Common Pleas Court.
If he is found guilty of the charges,
he will be placed on trial before Judge
Ranney, the purpose being to prevent
him practicing before the courts as a
lawyer.
Justice Wilson last night informed
The Tribune that he had not been ap-
priced of the charges pending against
him by the Bar Association, and said
that he could imagine who was behind
the movement of what he would be
called upon to answer.
"This is news to me-" he said, "and
I hardly believe anything will become
of it. Charges have been preferred
against me twice before, the commit
tee appointed by the Bar Association
to investigate the complaints never re-
ported to the court. / presume the
same people are now trying to get my
scalp.
"There is no man anywhere who at
all times transacts his business ex-
actly as the law prescribes. I don't
know anything that have done that
could be considered in violation of the
rules of honorable practice. There is
no case that / have handled that l
cannot show power of attorney, sign
ed by the authorized persons.
'There is blue-blood in this city
who approached me short time ago
and informed me that 1 had brought
suit in case where should not have
acted. I did not agree with him and
I expressed my opinion Of him. He
was angered, of course, and it may
be that he has had something to do

with these charges being preferred
against me.
"Of course, if the committee de-
cides that should be placed on trial
for the purpose of being disbarred,
those who are behind the charges
would have to appear in court and
prove their allegations. 1 would have
to be given a trial, and l will be en-
titled to hearing before the commit
tee that has my case in hand.

lating the ethics of the profession, the
trouble was brought up by the Sheriff

"I will take any suit that 1 con-
slider legitimate one. l sometimes

ness. But I am not worrying a bit

An influential member of the Bar

charges last week and a committee
was appointed to make a report at the
next term of the Common Pleas Court.
