Saddle Turns. Neck Broken and
Chest Crushed In.
Anna Jennette Gaunt wn3 killed Sat
urday evening nt the home of her
grandfather, Will Gaunt, residing
twelve miles northwest of the city,
when tho saddlo turned on tho horse
which sho was riding and she was
dragged for n quarter of a mile.
Her neck was broken and sho wns
badly crushed about the upper part of
tho body.
Tho little girl had ridden to the
Allen home about a half mile from the
home of her grand parents to a party.
She was returning with a neighbor
boy and on tho way homo they had
stnrtcd a race. Tho saddlo turned and
let the little girl fall and her foot
caught In the Btlrrup. This frightened
the horse and It ran the remainder of
the wny home. It stopped at the barn
and the child's grand mother noticed
her lying there and ran out and picked
her up. She lived for about un hour,
but she did not regain consciousness.
Her neck wns broken, her right arm
was broken In sovernl places, and her
chest was caved In. Her lower Jaw
and her nose were badly battered up.
Tho horse had evidently kicked her
allt he way along as sho was dragging
by Its side
Tho little girl was rushed to this
city for medical nhj, but she did not
ave long, sac was taken to the home
of her uncle, Hugh Gaunt on north
Locust street, and tho funeral was
held from there yesterday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, Dean Bowker officiating.
Anna Jennette Gaunt was born Feb.
7, 190G In this city and was the daugh
ter of Will Gaunt, Jr. Three weeks af
ter her birth her father was-killed on
the road. Her grandparents then took
her to raise and have kept her since
thnt time. She was eight years, eight
months nnd ten days old nt the time
of her death. He mother married
again and Is now Mrs. James Jensen,
residing near here. Her grandparents
wero very much attached to her and
held her more closely to their hearts
than one of their own children as she
was the sunshine of their lives In their
old age. Mrs. Gaunt, the grand moth
er, wns badly stricken nnd It wns fear
ed for some time that the shock would
cause her death, or that she would lose
her mind. She rather blamed herself
for the child's death as she had allow
ed her to go. The other relatives, how
ever, convinced her that It was inevit
able and that sho was in no way to
blame and she is reported to bo get
ting along as well as could be expect
ed. She is in a rather critical condi
tion. Jurors for December Court.

There are many times when one man
questions another's actions and mo

ferent circumstances. The question Is,
what would you do now If you had a

to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy?
It Is highly recommended by people
who have used It for years and know
Its value. Mrs. O. E. Sargent, Peru,

An Honest Boy.
Saturday morning when Mr Dcrry
berry opened the mall for tho Dorry
berry & Forbes hardware storo he
was surprised to find a letter contain
ing a dime carefully wrapped In paper.
The coin wns accompanied by nn un
signed le(cr which stated that It
came from a "kid" who had picked
up something from tho storo come
time ago and that since that time
his conscience hnd hurt him. Tho
letter was postmarked Whlttler, Cal.,
but there was no further Idenlficatlon
as t6 who the sender might be. While
It is a commendable thing for the boy
to return tho prlco of something dis
honestly taken, It would havo been
much better for him to sign his nnmo.
Mr. Derryberry stated that whllo the
Intrinsic value of tho nrtlclo is little
ho was glad to recelvo the letter and
the money to show that tho boy was
