The Iowa colony is to hold a

of which O. J. Blackledge is presi
dent and John Fowells, secretary.
It is now requested that all Iowans

Among wild tales told with re
ference to the shooting is one in
which Mrs. Mack Hemphill was
quoted as saying she heard Turner
say to Keady: "Here, Peg is the
gun; you've got it now and you
know what to do. Go and do your
work." When Mrs. Hemphill was
seen, it turned out that she had
heard nothing of the kind. Voices
were heard under her window half
an hour before the first shot was
fired and there was indistinct talk
about shooting somebody, and
something about a family, but it
was all indefinite, the voices being
unrecognizable.
The main topic of conversation

the weddings occurred in the fore
noon and the other in the afternoon.
The first couple to be made happy
was Asa Peacock and Estella Sav

HIS WOUND FATAL.
After 52 Hoars ef Suffering . James
. Dunn Yields to Ready's Last Shot.
The last shot that Chester Keady
fired from his revolver, gave a
mortal wound to James Dunn.
After 52 hours of suffering, , the
wounded man breathed his last in
his room at the Occidental at twen
ty minutes to five o'clock- Tuesday
morning. The funeral occurs today
Wednesday. All Maccabees will
meet at Odd Fellows hall 1 at 1:30.
. Early Monday night, it became
known that the patient could not
survive the night. Peritonitis ap
peared, and after that, all hope was
abandoned by '- tbe physicians.
Throughout Monday his pulse
stood at 140 to 160, In the after
noon it remained at the higher
figure, and was in addition weak
and irregular. Saline solution was
administered to stimulate heart
action, but it failed of its purpose.
One or more of the three physicians
in charge of his case was with him
almost constantly. At 10 o'clock he
was told that if he had any busi
ness matters to adjust that he had
better do it. Julian McFadden
was in the room at the time and
calling him to the bedside, Mr,
Dunn said, "You know what
I want: fix it up," Mr. McFadden
repaired to his office, wrote the in
strument and it was properly signed
and witnessed. '
The patient remained perfectly
conscious until long after midnight.
He was a close observer of the
physicians and others about the
room. His two brothers, his sister
and daughter and two sons were
at the bedside.
The same cool courage that was
with him when he stood by Os
burn's side when the latter was
shot, and that was present again
when he received the fatal bullet
that otherwise would have slain
Sheriff Burnett, was with him still
when the grim reaper called. A
more generous hearted man or a
more dauntless friend than James
Dunn never dwelt in Benton, for
all of which the evidence is and al
ways will be, when and where and
why, he died.
He was about 45 years of age,
and leaves a daughter and two sons
and many friends to mourn his
passing.
