Killed by Lightning

Monday evening word came to
town that . man had been killed by
lightning on the KIT ranch.
Coroner DR.. Sam French and
Sheriff Lyon Immediately autoed up
to the scene of the fatality.
The victim proved to be Charles G..
MUIR, who had taken charge Of the
old Jim Amick place-now . part Of
the KIT estate-some time ago.
It seems Mr.. MUIR had been out
working on ditch; he did not return
home 1t the accustomed time in the
evening, so his wife went out to the
field to see what was OBTAINING him,
and-found him lying across the
ditch-dead.
Help was summoned. On viewing
the remains, Coroner French deemed
an inquest unnecessary, Is the cause
of death was apparent.
The remains were brought to town
and prepared for shipment to the old
home at Mountain Grove, Mo-. by
Undertaken Gourley. Mr.. J. J. MUIR,
(brother) accompanied the casket
and the stricken widow and two
little children to Rifle, Wednesday,
on their sad mission.
Deceased was . comparatively
young man, having been born al
Mountain Grove, No., May 20. 1885,
He had followed his two brothers
J. J. and J. A., to Meeker, about
seven months ago. He was . man o.
religious training, having been or
dained to the Baptist ministry some
years ago; Of liberal education, and
industrious habits, and had made Z
favorable impression on all with
whom he had came In contact dur
ing his short residence In this COM
munity.
To the distressed widow, two little
children, two brothers and othel
relatives here and back In the old
Missouri home, our heartfelt sym.
pathy IL extended.

To our Friends and Customers


DEAR FRIENDS:
For over two years the high cost Of
living has been the most important
topic Of the day, and the reason in-
variAbly given was-''On account Of
the war In Europe" Today prices
are soaring higher than ever and the
reason given is-"On account of our
war with Germany" The fact Of the
matter is, there 10 an actual shortage
Of food In this country at the present
time, and 10 the near future will be
much shorter.
/, So serious has this shortage be-
come that 1t is now, In many cases,
not question of price but matter
of getting the goods. The average
consumer has no idea Of what .
dealer In food stuf1s has to contend
with. Many have an idea that these
exorbitant prices are only local and
the result Of frame up" and "hold
up" on the part Of local dealers.
A few months ago . merchant Of
standing could call on his jobber or
Wholesale house for an extension Of
credit and be Accommodated for any
reasonable amount. He could call
on bis bank for money and get 1t
with little trouble. He could give
credit to his customers and give 1t
literally. His merchandise cost him
less. His credit accounts a. result
were smaller.
Today 1t Is different. The jobbers
demand their money at once, do not
extend credit as before. The banker
Is more conservative and has to be.
The packer and manufacturer sell for
cash only.
The situation is this:
We have been doing . small credit
business. Credit with all worthy
classes. We have been Is liberal to
you rs others have been to us. Today
we are forced to adjust our business
to conform to present conditions.
The position We now take Is taken
because we see no other way Of hold
ing our own and holding down these
high prices to as low . level Is
possible.
Beginning, June 4, 1917, we will
all credit business, not
because we want to, but because we
HAVE TO.
We have scores Of customers As
good rs . bank who never fail on
single payment. We will find 1t hard
to discontinue these accounts. Again
we often have accounts that are hard
to collect. We find that the average
loss OF accounts carried Is more than
We can afford to lose. Then to this
