He was driving a team to a buggy, and at the Missouri Pacific crossing north of town they be came frightened at a fire which had boon lighted to burn the grass along the railroad. They turned very suddenly, overturning the buggy and spill ing Mr.

Stump out, but he hung onto tho lines until they were about to drag him into the fence, when he was compelled to let them go. They headed at once for town at full speed, drajrering tho buggy after them, and did not froe themselves from it until they reached McClure's place. Mr. and Mrs. Hack-ett were coining down tho road at the time and came near being run over; but Mr.

Hackett turned his horse to the left just in time to have his buggy struck cornerwiso by the one they were dragging. Mrs. Hackett was thrown several feet down the road, and Mr, H. still further, both alighting upon stonos on the brow of a little hill, but fortu nately, and quite miraculously, without serious injury. Mrs.

We join with the multitude of friends in extending sympathy. The giver of life gives it at his will; And at his will he takes it it is his still; And none can say him nay. Eight Years Old. Our old friend and neighbor, E. Tar ver, quietly celebrated nis eightieth birthday last Sunday, October 20th.

We speak of him as friend and neigh bor, and we are glad we may. We knew him as such in the days and times in Kansas when neighbors were neighbors, and friend were friends, in deed. We can sit down with Uncle Tarver and spin long yarns together, and unfold tales of grasshoppers, drouth, blizzards, wolf hunts, deer chases, wild cat scrapes, prairie fires, and the ever hungry tramp John Indian, of times good, bad, and indifferent, and every thing come out right in the end well, yes, and we are here yet. Mr. Tarver emigrated from War wickshire, England, in 1842, and loca ted at Long Island, moving from there to Iowa, and from Iowa to Kansas 26 years ago, locating on the place which he afterwards preempted and is now his home.

He is not a man of great wealth, yet he has made a success in life and is enjoying the pleasures and comforts of a well-earned home, and has means suf ficient to take him and his good wife to the end of life's jonrney. In early life Mr. Tarver seemed to fall into the peculiar habit of minding bis own business faithfully, and during his 20 years' residence here we have never heard aught against him; and today his friends are numbered by his acquaintances. Altho' 80 years of age he is enjoying comparatively good health, and we wish him many more years in which to enjoy the fruits of a well spent life. Bright StrtttkH.
