Woolman, former editor of this paper sympathize with him this week in the death of his brother, Ben O. Woolman of Mt. Hope, whose death occurred last Sunday morning. From the telegram received by his relatives it is gleaned that the unfortunate man had gone to his newspaper office Saturday morning and in attempting to build a fire had mistaken a gas61ine can for a coal oil can. An explosion followed and he was burned so severely that death followed the next day.

Ben Woolman was at one time engaged in the newspaper business with his father at Glen Elder. While cleaning up some old rubbish at the Beuche store in Tipton, a man found some large calibre rifle shells, which, it is thought were used during an Indian scare more than 40 years ago. At that time all the people around that community gathered at the old store at word of an Indian raid, but they never came, "and," says the Times, "from the looks of those old shells, it was a mighty good thing for them that the didn't." rCi A I For this Cold A Mammoth Car of Weather, ihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiii.
