SHOT HIMSELF.
Prominent Buchanan Physician
Meets With Painful Accident.
Buchanan, April 14. —In get
ting over a fence returning from
hunting late yesterday afternoon,
Dr . Neilla, a prominent physician,
accidentally shot himself in the
foot and in falling from the fence
broke his leg.
The accident is a serious one
from which he is suffering a great
deal today.
In Memory.
Os Mrs. J. A. Thomas, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Whitehead,
who was born December 12, 1880,
and died March 20, 1897.
It is sad to give up one who was
so young and bright and who al
ways tried to make those around
her happy, for when a school girl
she had always a bright and pleas
ant smile and a kind word for ev
ery one she met.
She was married to Mr. J. A.
Thomas October 11, 1896, and was
a kind, faithful and loving wife.
The young husband has the sym
pathy of the entire community in
his sad bereavement. We should
not ask the whys and wherefores
of the dealings as Providence, and
yet it is hard for us to say “thy will
be done,” and not question why
she was taken from us when life
was so sweet to her and so well cal
culated to make others happy.
Her sweet influence will always be
felt among her friends, and espec
ially among her schoolmates.
Dear Rilla from us is gone
The voice we love is still
A place is vacant in her home
That never can be filled.
