The remains of the late Dennis Dan niher accompanied by a large cortege of friends, were conveyed from the home, two miles northeast of this city, to St. John's church here last Satur day where requiem high mass was con ducted by Father W.

The pail bearers were Messrs. CotTey, Morlcy, Whalcn, Mc- Entee, Loughrldge and Reckman. Dennis Danniher. died at his home two miles northeast of Murray, Wednesday evening, July 2S after an illness of several months. The de ceased had long been a patient suffer cr from heart trouble, and his death was not altogether unexpected. Mr. Danniher was a native of Ireland but coming to America in his youth he readily became adapted to the condl tlons of American life and customs, and became one of its best citizens, The deceased was a resident of Platts mouth for many years, where his fam ily of two daughters and one son were reared, namely: Mrs. Anna Evans, of Chicago; Mrs. E. F. Grimes, of Oma ha and H. B. Danniher, who, besldesa wife, survive him. The deceased was the owner of a tine farm, upon which the wife and son will continue to re side. He was a faithful Catholic, an honorable, upright citizen, in whom bis neighbors and those who bad bus! ness dealings with him had the utmost confidence. Ills word was as good as his bond.

Tuesday morning's through freight train No 175 made a stop at Murray to pick up some cars, some thing it seldom does, and two negroes were either endeavoring to board the train or being put olf by the train crew, it belngearlyln themorningand very few people were astir In our little tow n, so no one w itnessed the proceed ings, but it is reported that the ne groes became angered at not being per mitted to ride and one of them pulled a gun and opened tire upon Conductor Marshall, who had charge of the train. The shot fell wide of its mark, and we understand the "coons" took to the woods, and have not been seen since. We are of the opinion that the proper thing to do on an occasion of this sort, Is that train crews be given the power to stop their trains, arm themselves with shot guns and secure sufficient help to catch such Individuals, either dead or alive, it would not make very much difference. The following night station agent Martin, who lives in the second story of the depot was awakened by four in dividuals of a similar character, who were swearing and telling of their ex periences bumming over the country, and what they were going to do when the lirst train came along. Agent Mar tin gave them orders to leave, which they complied with when being in formed that no train would stop there before daylight. A Birthday Party.
