ONE OF OUR
EARLY CITIZENS
PASSES AWAY
WEDDED AT ST.
PAUL'S CHURCH
THIS MORNING
J:hn I). Tutt, One of the Very Earliest
Residents of Cass County, Died
at an Early Hour This
Morning.
Kri'i'i lnes.l:tys Iai!y.
John I). Tutt, one of the pioneer
: cedents of Cass county has joined
the ranks of many hundreds of those
who have crossed to the farther shore
pasrdr.g away at 2:15 this morning at
the home of his son, Ed S. Tutt, at
Mm ray. Mr. Tutt has for the past
few years been making his home at
the Masonic home in this city and
has been in very good health for one
f his years up to a short time since
when his failing eyesight made it dif
ficult for him to get around as usual
Ye.-teiuay morning he went to Mur
ray to enjoy a visit with his son in
that place, expecting to return on the
-J o'clock Missouri Pacific, but ere he
reached the station at Murray yester
day afteri oon lie was stricken with
a ion stroke of paralysis while he
v.a vn route to the depot in company
with his son. Mr. Tutt when complain
ing of feeling sick was taken back to
the hi'me of the son and medical assis
tar.ee summoned but it was apparent
from the beginning that the sands of
:i:V had run their course and that the
end was not far off. Mr. Tutt linger
id until early this morning when
death mercifully brought an end to
his suffering.
Mr. Tutt has during his residence
in this county and city extending over
a period of sixty years been one of
the n-.o.-t prominent and active men
in the life of the community both in
j ublie and the business life of the
city. He was a man whose generous
1 eart knew no limit and those who
were in reed onlv had to make their
wants known when John Tutt would
civen them all in his power to relieve
their needs and this charitable
r.u.i!itv was characteristic of his life
both in business and private life
Thi- kindly and highly esteemed
m ntleman will be greatly missed
:';Tn the community and over his last
:e-tirir place the tears of memory
will be sh.-d for one who in his life
time knew naught but the love of his
fe'.lov man.

sumptious dinner at the Chris Park

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Chris Parkening and is a young
lady universally loved and esteemed
by a large circle of friends in this
section of Cass county, where she has
made her home for almost her entire
lifetime, and these friends will join
in wishing her much happiness in her
new home. The groom is one of the
enterprising young men of the county
and held in high esteem by those who
have the pleasure of knowing him.

The Home and Contents of Earl Stan
field on West I'earl Street De
stroyed by Fire, With No
One at Home.
From Wednesday's laily.
This city seems to have become very
unlucky in the matter of serious tires
as last night the alarm was turned in
at 12:20 announcing that the residence
property of Karl Stanfield on West
Pearl street was in flames. The fire
was discovered by the neighbors but
had gained great headway by this
time, as the house was closed, there
being none of the family at home at
the time, and when the fire department
arrived on the scene the blaze was
greedily taking toll of the building
and the contents. The fire seems to
have starttnl in a stairway leading to
the cellar and is thought to have been
caused by an electric wire as no other
cause seems possible. The house has
not been open, as Mrs. Stanfield is out
of the city, being called to the bedside
of her father at Arapahoe, and Mr.
Stanfield was not at home at the time
of the fire. There has been no fire of
any kind in the house since Sunday,
which leads to the belief that the elec
tric wiring was the cause of the blaze.
The floors of the house were con
sumed by the flames and the north
side of the building suffered very
much from the effects of the lire,
which was most intense at this point.
The loss to the building will be very
heavy, while the household goods of
Mr. Stanfield will be almost an entire
loss from the effects of the lire and
smoke. The loss to the household
goods will reach several hundred dol
lars, partially covered by insurance.
while the building, which was the
property of W. E. Rosencrans, is cov
ered by insurance.
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Stan
field will regret very much their loss
as it has caused them to lose many
articles that it will be impossible for
money to replace and those who have
ever been visited bv firp 1-nmv the,
osses that follow the wiping out of the
many cherished articles of the home.
