The accident occurred a few blocks west of the E. & B. lumber yard in a pasture, where Mr. Blessing had been hunting rabbits. He had started to climb through the fence and had undoubtedly placed tho gun on the opposite side of the fence, when in' some unknown maimer, the weapon was discharged, tho entire load entering his breast just below the heart and killing him instantly. The report of the gun was heard by Joseph O'Hanlon, a ton year old lad, who saw the man fall to the ground. He reported tho circum stance to Mrs. Woodcock, a neigh bor woman, who went to the scene of the shooting and found the man dead. She reported the facta to the authorities, and Coroner Munger of Homer, and Sheriff Geo. Cain were immediately summoned. After carefully investigating the circum stances of the shooting the coi'oner decided that an inquest was unnec essary. Mr. Blessing has been a resident of South Sioux City for about three years, prior to his removal there he conducted a farm in Brushy Bend where the family had resided for ibout fifty years, and where the de ceased was born April 18, 1859. Mr. Blessing is survived by his mother, Mrs. Mary Blessing, and his sister, Miss Beatrice Blessing, with whom he made his home, aiso the following brothers and sisters: Charles and Elmer B "ising, both farm residents of this inocinct; Mrs. Charles Nash, of South Siouxt City; Mrs. John Allen, and Mrs. Richard Twamley, of Allen, Nebr.; Mrs. Le wis II. Armbright, of South Sioux City, Nebr. Mr. Blessing had been a life long resident of Dakota county, had served as president of the Pioneers and Old Settlers' association in 1913; was elected to the office of county assessor the first year that office was established in the county, but declin ed to serve, owing to his time being taken up with his farm work. He was a candidate for ther office of county clerk a number of years ago but was defeated by a small margin. He served as precinct assessor on several occasions, and did his work in a' business-like manner. The funeral was held Sunday from the M. E. Church in South Sioux Ci ty, Rev. C. R. Lowe, pastor of tho Lutheran church of this place, offic iating, assisted by Rev. Luschor of South Sioux City. Intormont was in Graceland Comotory, Sioux City. - ffc Lutheran Church Notes An Old Kentucky Home Since I Began Taking Peruna 1 Weigh 120 Pounds for the First Time in My Life.

Just what we thought it would be, very profitable to those who could get out, about eighteen of us.

The gist of the scheme is to extend the Home department to include the whole family. Here tofore this department has been en joyed only with the adults in the home.
