Mr/IIarr L.sondt of Kent ( O. )
made application for membership in the
camp of Modern Woodmen of Kent on
the 26th of last month. He was accept
ed btf the camp and his Application was
ford warded to head physician 'F. A.
Smith at Zunesville , ( O. ) for approval.
Dr. Smith returned the application to
the local medical exa oiner , Dr. A. C.
Ball for some corrections. Dr. Ball
was out of the city , but returned to
Kent on Saturday , August 6th. The
application was corrected and again
.mailed to head physician Smith at
Zanesville. It was approved by Dr
Smith aulTforwarded td the head office
of the Wooduieu society at Bock Islanti ,
111. * A benefit certific for $2.000 was is
sued in Mr. JStoudt's name and mailed
to clerk F. A. McMahon of Kent Camp ,
being received by him on Wednesday ,
August 10th at 12 o'clock , noon. At 9
o'clock that morning Mr. Stoudt , while
doing some plumbing work in the rail
road yards at Kent was run down by a
train and instantly killed. If his cer
tificate had reached Kent one day soon
er , or on the 9th of August , Mr. Stoudt
would have been received as a member
by the camp and his certificate would
have been delivered to him. The so
ciety would then have been legally li
able for the $2,000 culled for in the cer
tificate. As it is Mr. Stoudt did not
become a member of the society and his
family loses the sum which would have
placed them in comfortable circum
stances. The case illustrates tho un
certainty of life anl l the danger of delay
in securing protection for the wife and
children.

The poets are still singing thepreises
of Nebraska and if it were not for the
tact that the people of this western
country were too busy to write poetry ,
you would hear more of this land of
the "mild eyed steer. "
Hawthorn said that poets were not
developed in a new country and that
after everything else went down the
poets sprang up and chanted in rhyme
the echoes of by gone days. So it
might well be said of Cherry county
that when development has been made
| complete and there is a family iu evory
valley then the poet will come forth ar
rayed in his glory to tell of the early
days when Jim Murrey , Tom Allen , the
Steter Bros , , 0. H. Cornell , the Sparkf
Bros. , Mike CJynes and a number o ;
others were using their influence to civ
ilize and quiet the outlaws who made
frequent attempts to terrorize the
peaceable ard law abiding populace ,
their inhuman and reckless ways of now
and then putting a bullet hole through
a lamp chimney as a matter of target
practice in vociferously putting out a
light. Many were shot and at the trial
self defense was the plea which got
the man free no matter if the victim
happened to be without fire arms. The
Keys brothers with numerous other out
laws were then , but not now hying.
There were many , other desperadoes
who came abreast of civilization antag
onizing , threatening , menacing and re
tarding have fallen by the wayside
with the great onward march of pro
gress , law and order.
Tuesday night while the dark clouds
were hanging over our little city and the
lightning took now and then a shot at
a building , it seemed an appropriate
time for a rehearsal of the history of
those times when g , prominent citizen
carried a shot gun to and from his bus
iuess for two weeks and carried it load
ed with buck shot ready to at any time
defend his life. Another no tr promi
nent in state circles who had provoked
some desperadoes in the discharge of
his duty was confronted by several Win
chesters upon his going out the stable
one morning to feed his horse. Smooth'
talk and a persuasive manner finally
overcame there prejudices ; another
tragedy was avoided. It was the more
interesting to hear these stories related
in a group consisting of the early pio
neers perhaps with an experience far
more startling , that for good and suffic
lent reasons they , through modesty or
not desiring those scenes to come again'
into their memory , forbore the telling.
