 To Join Those Gone Before ILL ONLY A FEW HOURS
Moved Here 59 Years Ago With His Father, Maj. Cyrus McCrory, and Helped Clear Up A Farm Where Now Stands The
 Town Which Bears His Name

After a few hours ride upon the back of his favorite steed which took him over his farm, Mr. c. w. McCrory, better known as Major McCrory, re- turned to his home Wednesday suffering from the effects of a chill which was followed a few hours later with two bemor- rhages, causing his sudden death Thursday morning at 9:25 o'clock, February 7, 1918.
 Cyrus Wade McCrory was the son of MT. and Mrs. Cyrus Mc- Crory and was born at Mason Grove, Tenn, Nov. 21, 1843. When he was about 16 years of age his father moved here in 1859 and they cleared up and settled upon a farm where to- day stands the little metropolis of Woodruff County which bears his name.
 Just after they had settled here. the war between the states came on and young McCrory answered the call of the Con- federacy he having enlisted, it IS reported, at JacksonpOrt, Ark, under General Churchill. lie saw most of his service in and around Helena, Ark.

J. E. Atkinson. To this union were born nine children and those who survive him are: Miss Lou and Messrs J. c. and G. C.. McCrory, all of this city.

for Gray WOLF. At the foot Of the rock
big white rabbit popped up ahead Of
him, and he gave chase. For half .
mile he pursued, until the wolf instinct
up the futile race. A deer he might
have overtaken, but small game the
wolf must hunt as the fox hunts 1t,
and he began to slip through the thick
cts slowly and as quietly as a shadow.
He was a mile from the Sun Rock
when two quick leaps put Gray VOLTS
supper between his jaws. he trotted
back slowly, dropping the big seven
pound snow-shoe hare now and then to
rest.
When he came to the narrow trail
that led to the top of the Sun Rock he
stopped. In that trail was the warm
scent of strange feet. The rabbit fell
from his jaws. Every hair in his body
was suddenly electrified into life. What
he scented was not the scent of a rab
bit, marten or porcupine. Fang
and claw had climbed the path ahead
of him. And then, coming family to
him from the top Of the rock, he heard
sounds which sent him up with ter.
rible whining cry. When he reached
the summit he saw in the white noon.
light a scene that stopped him for
single moment. Close to the edge of the
sheer fall to the rocks, fifty feet below,
Gray Wolf was engaged in a death
struggle with huge gray lynx. She
was down-and under, and from her
there came sudden sharp terrible cry
Of pain.
kazan flew across the rock. His at
tack was the swift silent assault of the
wolf, combined with the greater cour-
age, the fury and the strategy of the
husky. Another husky would have died
in that first attack. But the lynx was
not dog or wolf. 1t was "Mow-lee,

have sunk deep in Its jugular. But In

had thrown itself back like huge soft
ball, and Kazan's teeth buried them
selves in the flesh of Its neck instead
of the jugular. And Kazan was not
now fighting the fangs of wolf in the
pack, or of another husky. He was
fighting claws-claws that ripped like
twenty razor-edged knives, and which
even a jugular hold could not stop.
Once he had fought lynx in trap,
and he had not forgotten the lesson the
battle had taught him. He fought to
pull the lynx down, instead Of forcing
