N Mrs. Pearl Biggs of Rogers Mesa
received word about two weeks ago
stating her husband. Elmer Biggs,
who left several weeks since for Eu-

his father, had been kicked by a
horse. The accident was not con-
sidered dangerous at the time. Laters
however, Mr.. Biggs was taken to a
hospital in Kansas City, where every
thing possible was done to save his
life, but of no avail, as the grim
reaper death claimed him as his own.

she reached her destination. Elmer
was q young man in his thirty second
year, a prosperous farmer and a high

loss of kind husband and loving
