OLD MEDAL Straight Patent. EVERY SACK WARRANTED. Sad Accident to the Son of Andrew McCurry and Wife. Last Friday at about 1:30 p. Washington, the four year old son of Andrew Rosa McCurry, was kicked by a horse and his skull fractured, which resulted in death nbont 2 oclock Saturday afternoon.

The blow was upon the head above and a little back of the right ear, breaking the skull. Dr. Rees was called in, and he sent for Dr. Plumb who assisted him in removing a piece of the skull. All was done that could be for the little sufferer but death claimed him as his victim, and he quietly passed away about twenty-four hours later seemingly with very little suffering, as he was under the influence of powerful opiates most of the time.

The funeral services were held at the residence on Sunday at 2:30 o'clock by Rev. R. A. Odenweller, who preached a very touching sermon after which the remains were followed to the Pleasanton cemetary for interment by a host of sympathizing friends. Little Washington was a bright and very promising boy kind, of a loving disposition, and loved by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

This is a sad blow to hi parents, but greatly consoling in knowing he is at rest in the kind and loving embrace of tiie great Master who gave him.

Flagg, who was reported as being corralled in a box car at Miami, for being exposed to the smallpox, was on the street Monday, and says there is noth' ng in the report. It is queer how such reports get started.

Saturday evening as Albert Evans was going home, he fell out of his spring wagon when front of Tuckers store, the wheel passing over his head. It was reported that he was intoxicated and indications substantiates the theory. A man by the name of Sherman-Mize was arrest Saturday by I. A. Davis and placed in jail.

He was wanted 'for stealing a watcli and about twenty-seven dollars from C. E. Caldwell, of Batesville, Arkansas. Mr. Davis has had his eye on this man for several weeks and was only waiting for a chance to land him safe.

There is no doubt but what he is the man, as the numbers on the case and works of the watch were identical as those taken from the jeweler where the watch had been purchased. This is another victory for Isaac and we are glad to note his success. Mrs. Nolan has opened up her stock of goods in the room formerly used as a lunch room south of Flemings bakery.

Sunday night the residence of Dr. Lee was again burglarized, taking a watch, chain and charm and a pair ol shoes. It was about 1 o'clock when the doctor heard someone moving around tie house and supposed it waif one of the folks, but on further investigation he found the front and back doors both open, also the window in the parlor, where they undoubtedly made tbeir enterence, as the lock on the windown was broken off. The doctor had the same kind of an experience about two years ago and seems to be out of luck. The same night the barn of Geo.

Robinson was broken into and a file and hatchet were taken, nothing else being missed. It seems to us as if these robberies must be made by people living in our town, as there are a great- many here who are too lazy and worthier to work fora living and they must live some way, and as a matter of choice they wall steal before they will work or beg. Our Pinkertons will soon run them down and place them behind the bars, where so many before them proceeded tnem. Beware of Pleasanton's sleuth hounds for they are surely on their trails and before many days will have the death grip upon them.
