A runaway took place just west
of Murray last Saturday evening
that for several hours was quite
a mystery. Will Shannon, who
is in the employ of II. C. Long,
was going home on foot, and it
was a very dark night. He was
moving along leisurely when a
dark object loomed up in front
of him he was struck a terrific
blow upon the head and shoulders.
He did not know what struck him,
and, quite badly bruised and
stunned, he was taken home and
medical aid summoned. No bones
were broken and he is getting
along nicely. Here is where the
mystery comes in, in finding out
what struck him. Will Wiles,
residing near Mynard, was re
turning home from that section of
the country, when the singletree
of his buggy broke and the team
started to run, and in passing
young Shannon it is supposed
that the singletree struck him.
This part of the accident was not
learned until quite late.
A Birthday Surprise.
Last Saturday, April 28, was
the 13lh birthday anniversary of

tainment, by inviting quite a
number of her young friends in
to spend the afternoon, the hours
being from 3 to (5 o'clock. Re
freshments were served and a
most delightful time wis had by
all. Following were the young
people who assisted Miss Esther
in celebrating the happy oc
casion: Marie Davis, Margaret
Moore, Frances Moore, Esther
Fight, Flora Meisinger, Tillie
Meisinger, Beulah Freize, Fern

Great Death Record.
Twenty-one years ago the Mod
ern . Woodmen lodge was or
ganized in Murray with twenty
charter members, which number
has grown to over Eighty members
at the present time. In the
passing of that twenty years only
four members of this camp have
been called to the great beyond.
The first death occurring in the
lodge was that of Kingsley Kniss,
the second George Wood, the
third Ray Young, and the fourth
Tommy Nix, who passed away
just a few days ago, and who car
ried a policy for $1,000, being
payable lo his father. This is
certainly an excellent record for
a lodge the size of the Murray
camp.

Are They Good?
Several of our good farmer

prize guessing contest a few days
ago, in which was offered a num
ber of grand prizes. In every in
stance the correct solution of the
problem was given, and the boys
were sent a check for $150 to be
applied on a 8350 piano. Here is
where the boys get wise, and plac
ing three checks together they
mailed them to the firm, request
ing that they be honored by send
ing them $100 in cash and ship
the piano as soon as possible. It
is not hardly necessary for us to
say that the desired returns are
still coming. They must be com
ing, for they have not as yet been
received.

THE FUNERAL OF THOMAS
H. NIK AT MURRAY MONDAY
Large Number of Friends Present
to Pay a Last Sad Tribute to
a Noble Young Man.
The funeral of Thomas Holman
Nix, the young man who died sud
denly wilh rheumatism last Fri
day night, was held at the Chris
tian church in Murray Monday
afternoon at 2 o'clock, and was
conducted by Rev. Williams. The
young man was born August 8,
1881, near Rock Bluff, in this
county. He grew to manhood in
the vicinity of Murary and united
with the Christian church about
four years ago and had been a
constant member of that church
since.
He leaves surviving him his
father, one brother and one sister
to mourn his loss, his mother
having died some twenty or more
years ago. His brother, John Nix
resides in Lincoln, and his sister,
Mrs. P. B. Smith, near Murray, the
deceased having made his home
with her. The funeral was one of
fhe largest ever held in Murray,
the deceased having been a mail
carrier on one of the Murray
routes for some time two or three
years ago, made a large number
of friends, who turned out en
mass to show their respect and
love for their friend. Floral
tokens banked about the casket
were silent witnesses to the deep
and abiding love of the donors for
the beautiful character of the de
ceased. The music was furnished
by I. M. Davis, Mrs. Carroll, Mrs.
Dr. B. F. Brendel, Mr. O. A. Davis
and Mr. B. A. Root, accompanied
by Miss Lsabelle Young with the
organ.
The pallbearers were: William
Seybolt, Joseph Morasek, S. 0.
Pitman, John Stones, Henry Rice
and John Hobscheidt. Interment
was made in the Young cemetery.
Mr. John Nix. brother of the de
ceased, and William Hansen of
Lincoln attended the funeral. The
M. W. A. lodge of Murray attend
ed in a body.
Card of Thanks.
To the kind friends and neigh
bors who so generously assisted
us and tendered sympathy in the
last sickness and burial of our
dear bnd her, we express our most
sincere thanks.
B. F. Smith and Wife.
John Nix.
Wolves Getting Thicker.
Walter, John and Charles Sans
succeeded in catching eleven
young gray wolves last Thursday
in an old log house on their farm.
They are small as yet, but the
boys say they will grow, and they
expect to receive a good price for
them. Several have already been
sold. They are of the genuine
large gray wolf variety. There
seems to be a large number in the
country this year.
Pasture for Stock.
I have sufficient pasture for
sixty head of stock, either cattle
or horses. J. D. Shrader, six
