4 Useful and Beautiful Life Closed.

On the evening of the LIST of July,
nine weeks ago, Mrs, Mary j. Jacka,
wife of the late W. II. Jacka, CHANGED
to make a misstep at her home and fell,
whereby she sustained fractured bone
neat the hip. Tuesday morning of this
week, Sept. I'd, her useful and beauti~
full life was brought to a close During
those nine weeks her suffering was I'M
avoidably great, but her patience and
che .rful nature surmounted her trial to
wonderful degree which served to
som extent as a foundation for hope
among her loving ones. But age was
the and vitality weak.
Siventy-nine years ago the 10th of
last July Mary j. Blewett was born in
Ireland. Her parents were English, her
father, Benjamin Blewett, was mine
captain. The family emigrated to
America when Mary was small girl,
coming to Mineral Point, and this place
has been her home ever since. 1t is be-
yond question that Mrs Jacka is en-
titled to be numbered among the very
best women ever associated with this
community Her life from beginning to
end was such that surely the world is
better for it.
Mrs. Jacka is survived by two sons,
David and Ben amin, both of this city;
four daughters, Mrs Sarah Bliss, Mrs.
Lenoge Jeuek, Mrs. Joan Penhallegon
of this city, and Mrs. Madge Smith of
Chicago; also two brothers, w. II.
Blewett and Benjamin Blewett of this
city. There are six grandchildren.

possession of a suitcase which had

daily boarded trains and searched
the grips of passengers entering Ne
braska from Wyoming, the boy be-
came cautious and denied ownership
of the grip. When the train reached
Chadron the boy ignored the suitcase
and left the train. His alleged en-
ployer was waiting for him and in
quired as to what had become of the
suitcase and liquor. The boy told
him of what he had encountered in
the way of a suspicious character and
pointed out the travelling man.

ascertained that the suspect was not
an officer, but a travelling man. Be
coming convinced that the travelling
man intended to confiscate the booze
when he left the train at Hot Springs,
he telephoned an officer at Hot
Springs, giving a description of the
travelling nan When the latter left
the train at Hot Springs he was
bounced upon and the IA bottles of
liquor were found in his possession.
He was arrested on the charge of
transporting liquor into South Da-
kota, in violation of the statewide
prohibition law. and when taken in
to court. was fined $500.
