years a resident of Welsh, died
last Saturday morning at 1880
O'Clock at the home of his son, P.
w. Kiplinger, GAL Cleveland st,
Lake Charles, La. Funeral ser

Mr.. KipIinger's illness was not
Iof long duration. 1t began in Dec
ember in Springfield, Ohio, where
he and his wife went last sum-
mer. When his condition improv-
ed sufficiently to make the trip
possible they came back to Lake
Charles, hoping that the mild eli
mate might be BENEFICIAL. A relapse
followed which proved fatal.
Mr.. Kiplinger was 70 years of
age. He was born in Clarke Coun-
Ity, Ohio. The family came to
Welsh in 1899, engaging in rice
farming for some time. Four
years ago they removed to Lake
ICharles to be near their sons.
Mr., KipIinger is survived by his
beloved wife, two sons, P. w, and
u. A. KipIinger of Lake Charles
and one daughter, Mrs, Clyde E
BIosS of Springfield, Ohio; also
one brother, A. P. KiplinSer OF
st. Cloud, Florida.
The Diseased was very highly
esteemed by the citizens of Welsh
young and old, admired for his
endearing traits OF character, &
devoted Christian; he had been
lifelong member of The Metho
dist Episcopal church.

The sheriff made arrangements carly
In the day to serve the warrants. As

anxiety increased He wished to have

at II o'clock. States Attorney Mortimer,
who had been expected to make state

ARRIVES At

Following this conference Sheriff Mes
ter at IL :25 prepared to start for the
Governors office with the warrants
He indicated he would not take blank
bonds with him to the Governors office.
1--WE have given him chance to come
over Voluntarily and arrange his bonds,
and he has refused" the sheriff said I'VE
have given him every courtesy, ana
don't see why I should take any bonds
with me-"
He said he was not bothered by the
Governors threat to sue him and his
bondsmen
Governor Small had left the executive
mansion and gone to his Office at about
10 o'clock, his customary. hour, so when
the sheriff and his deputies arrived the
Governor wss already closeted in his Of
fee.
The sheriff waited on the hrst floor of
the building for the Governor to come
out.
1t developed into game of watchful
waiting, with the sheriff pacing the lower
corridor calmly smoking a cigar and
prepared to wait until the Governor APP
peared. The game OF strategy was
watched by Statehouse employees and by
the Governors political friends.
The sheriff explained his waiting pol
icy by saying that technicalities might
be raised If the Governor was arrested az
his desk while transacting State business.
Such a defense by the Governor would
be weak, and probably worthless. the
sheriff said adding, however, that he
was not going to give any opportunity
for raising the question of teehnicalities
in the law.
George B. Gillespie, one of the Gov
ernor's counsel. was waiting near the
door Of the executive office.
When he said he could wait as long
as the Governor, Sheriff Mester was
asked: What If he decided to stay here
all night?"
That would be something different,
he replied.
Governor Small's outpOsts stationed
near the door kept the executive INFORMED
Of the sherir's movements, and members
Of the Governors cabinet and close po-
lticaI friends paced the second moor cor
ridor waiting for the climax.
Crowds began to gather in the state
house in the afternoon, and the building
took on a holiday appearance Inc case

interrupt the Governor in the conduct OF

Finally, at 30 o'clock, Sheriff Mester
went to the executive office at the re
