Chadron , Jan. 21. Two men ,
Fred Harris and Curtis Jackson , ! ;
indulged in a friendly scutHe herd i
on Thursday night about midnight j
and during the fun a bystander , ,
proposed that Constable Gay lord '
bo sent for , just for a joke.
One man ran to Gaylord's home
and roused the officer from his bed , '
telling him that there was a fight
down town and that his presence
was necessary.
The officer hurriedly dressed
and was soon on the scene. When
he entered the place where the
"fight" was in progress , Jackson ,
in a joking way , made a rush for
Gaylorcl.
Gaylord was knocked down and
he immediately drew his gun and
fired , the bullet penetrating Jack
son's lung.
*
Gaylord was arrested and is now
in jail. He will have a prelimin
ary hearing today. Jackson is
home and is in a precarious con
dition and his chances for recov
ery are not very flattering. Oma

AI Thacher Dead.
Albert E. Thacher died last
Friday morning at G o'clock of
sclerosis of the liver and the com
plications which resulted from liv
er trouble. Mrs. J. M. Thacher ,
his sister-in-law , had been here a
couple of weeks , and friends all
knew that Al's life was soon to
end unless some change could be
wrought. Mr. Thacher did not
expect to live long when he re
turned from the hospital at the
Fort and expressed then that he
wanted to come back home to die
amona his old time friends.
The above is copied from a rec
ent photograph which was thought
to be a good likenesslof Mr. Thach
er in summer dress.
Mr. Thacher has not been in
good health for three years past.
Each sick spell seemed to bring
him nearer death's door until fin
ally he succumbed to death\s call
at a time whenj ho became tired of
life' ' and was ready to take his de- '
parturc from this life.
Rev. Wells was called from
Omaha to conduct the funeral ser-
vices which were held in the M.
E. church , Saturday at 10:30 : a. in.
The stores and business houses
were all closed from 10 o'clock un
til noon , during the funeral , and
the church was $ vell filled with
people who gathered to pay the
last tribute of respect to their de
parted friend and neighbor. The
casket was covered with floral
tributes , and the ceremony was
impressive.
The body was taken to Phila
delphia by Mrs. J. M. Thacher ,
starting Sunday and arriving in
Philadelphia Tuesday. Funeral
services were held there Wednes
day.
Two brothers , both older , sur
vive Mr. Thv.ch r.
The death of Mr. Thacher ,
though not unexpected , brought
sorrow to our community. Many
admirable traits of his character
and his good will to everybody
will long be remembered , as well
as his pleasant smile and joyous
greeting. He was one of the early
pioneers to this part of the west
and was for a number of years the
'owner .of THE DEMOCRAT office
material and staked several of the
early editors of this paper witfe
funds to run the paper. He has
also been generous and liberal in
donations to charity.
A. E. Thacher came to Ft. Nio
brara in September , 1SSO , to enter
the employ of J. M. Thacher &
Company , post traders , of which
his brother was senior member.
He remained in the employ of said
firm in this capacity until some
time in 1891 , at which time he came
to Valentine and entered into part
nership with E. J. Davenport , in
. which business he continued up to
'the time of his death.
" .Hq. yns. born in Philadelphia ,
January 19 , IS-iO , which at the
time of his death made him fifty-
six years and one day.
He was among the first residents
of the county.
