The new road law makes all! male citizens between 21 and 50 years of age liable to $3.00 poll tax each year, this tax is collectable in cash or work at the option of the township board. It has been quite a task to get the poll tax worked, consequently the board decided to collect the tax in cash. However anyone wishing to work their poll tax will be given the privelege by applying to the road overseer in their respective district. Peter Scott is overseer in the east district, Frank Rohmeyer in the two middle districts. The west district hasn't been provided for yet.

-W. G. Robinson, Trustee. An automobile passing thru the city last Saturday frightened a team hitched near the Bradley building. One of the horses in an effort to get away, tried to leap over the hitching rack.

She probably would have suceeded and escaped uninjured but for the post directly in front of her. In leaping the post caught in her flank and breaking the hide, entered the body. She remained in this position until a saw was obtained and the post sawed from in under her. Her injuries were so serious it was necessary to kill her. Geo.

Houser was the loser and to say the least it was hard luck. He had owned the team scarcely five minutes when the accident occured. He purchased them of Frank Hoy. Thomas Hamer Liggett was born May 31, 1827 near Georgetown, Brown county, Ohio, died January 31, 1911. near Rosalia, Kansas.

Reed Hardware Company sistant christian until his death. In memory of a loving father, a genial companion and a model citizen we extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones. Fred Ray unintentionally helped furnish a little excitement Monday morning. A barrel of kerosene rolled from the rear end of his wagon near the front of the Reed Hardware. All but nine gallons was wasted Maybe Omer Reed didn't know oil would burn.

If he didn't he is sure wise now. It was necessary for several of our citizens to get buckets and work the pump overtime in order for Cassoday to boast a hardware store. Except for the singeing of a telephone pole no damage was done. To the Cassoday Times. Died at the home of his parents Coke and Lulu Tibbets, in Big Horn Wyoming, Jan.

Stearns came in last Monday evening from Elmo, Kansas. He had been visiting his sister in that city, Mr. Stearns says Cassoday and vicinity looks better to him than any place he has visited since he left here two months ago. Mr. and Mrs.

Ellery Fitch of Spivey, Kans. are here visitMrs. Fitch's parents, Wm. Davison and wife. A.

J. Fultz and family from El Dorado were visiting their sister, Mrs. Chas Hanson, Sunday. DIED Dorothy Diller Hoy was born in Perry county, Ohio, Jan. 6, 1845; departed this life Monday evening Feb.

6, 1911. In infancy she was baptised and at the age of 14 became a member of the Lutheran church by confirmation. In 1868 she was married to Samuel Hoy, to this union three sons and two daughters were born of whom one son and one daughter are living. Her husband, two sons and one' daughter having preceded her from the land of the living. Mr.

Hoy and "'Aunt as she was affectionately called, came to' Butler county in 1873 and located on the farm where she lived until her death. She was thirtyseven years a resident here: only the older ones, our fathers and mothers, understand and appreciate the above statement. The young folks, altho they loved "Aunt Dor" do not and cannot understand what the passing of Dorothy Hoy means to those who have stood beside her in time of sorrow and joy, defeat and victory and hardship and prosperity; a void is created in their lives, it can never be filled, they would not have it filled if they could. All that is womanly, all that is good and pure was represented in this woman. These facts are our consolation.

Death was the stepping-stone to a reward in fact. The end came after months of suffering borne with characteristic patience. Some five months ago she was stricken by an attack of paralysis, later by pneumonia fever. She leaves to mourn her departure one son, one daughter, two grand-children, four brothers, two sisters and friends innumerable. Funeral services were conducted by Rev.

Wilt at the M. E. church in Cassoday. The remains were laid to rest beside her husband and children in the Cassoday cemetry. SPECIAL At the Leader Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb.
