The article that, was reprinted in this paper from the Klmwood Leader-Echo in regard to 1$. A. Kosencrans of this city removing to Imperial, Neb., to assist in the management of a pool hall there, was without foundation, as Mr. llosencrans had no intention of locating there and the editor of the I,eader-Kcho was evidently misinformed on the matter.

Murray of this city, and a sister of Akin Murray and (ieorge Murray of Omaha, and to the grief-stricken mother and brothers the sym pathy of the entire community 1 .1 i i oes out in Hie nour oi sorrow and bereavement. I here was never a more popular young lady in the city than Miss Murray, who was born here and had been rear ed to womanhood in our midst, and everyone knew her pleasant and kindly hearing toward all she met. In her passing, she leaves i place in the circle of her friends I hat w ill he hard to lilt, and those that are left lo mourn her can only hope and wail for a meeting in another land, where partings are no more. The funeral will be hold either Sunday or Monday, at the late home in the north part of the city, and w ill be in charge of Hev. V. L. Austin of the First Methodist church of this city.

District Judge II. D Travis and son, Raymond, returned last even ing from a trip to Florida for the benefit of the judge's health.
