He united with the NJ E. Church

He resided in Monet from April
1883 until June, 1914.
Mr.. Creed was for a number of
years the proprietor of the Indiana
House, popular hotel at Monett. Re-
tiring from that business he made his
home on a small fruit farm in the
northwest part of town until he moved
to Kansas. He served as a member of
the county court of Barry county
which won him the title of "Judge
Creed" as he was known at his old
home. He made an efficient and con-
scientious officer.
He purchased farm near LaCygne,
Linn county, Kan, and removed there
in 1914. The Lord gave him his dis
charge September %, leaving the aged
wife, one daughter, one grandson, and
a host of friends to mourn his depart
ure. He was true to his convictions,
loyal to his friends.
The funeral was held at his home
afternoon of September 23, conducted
by Rev. McGrew of the Baptist
church. Interment was made in Oak
Lawn cemetery at LaCygne.

TEAMSTER CONFESSES TO
DYNAMITING AT BOLIVAR

Kansas City, Oct. 3.-When Boil
var, Mo. disagreed on the direction
it's new rock road should take coun-
ty row of considerable dimensions de-
veloped. And then when court effort
had failed to halt the road contsruc-
ton, work abruptly ceased
Someone had blown up the rock
crusher and about four hundred and
fifty pounds of powder in an adjacent
powder store house. The loss amount
ed to about $4,000 and some seventy
five men were thrown out of employ
ment.
That was the night of September
S. Suspicion fell on Pony Cossions, a
discharged teamster, and when Cos
sions came to Kansas City detectives
followed him.
Cossions, who had been rooming at
81 West Fourteenth street, was ar
rested last night by William Shick-
hardt and A. H Peterson, city detec-
tives. At police headquarters Cossions
confessed.
The dynamiting, Cossions said, was
done partly on his own account, but
principally because he had been prom
ised $500 by county official who he
said paid him to blow up the crusner
and halt the road work.
