Robt. Campbell, as stated in
these columns a few ' days ago, in
his altercation with several men
down in Strong's mill was not so
much to blame as tbe report indi
cates, so he says. Mr. Campbell
was watching the men at work
when one of them accused him of
taking his meerschaum pipe. This
he resented which led to some words
and t hi eats during which Mr.
Campbell, being an old man, picked
up a piece of slab wood to defend
himself. Three men rushed upon
him and knocked him down . He
further states that he is a man of
peaceable disposition and does not
eo around iookinsr for trouble. Tne
meerschaum pipe in 'question was
found later in a place where it was
impossible for -him to have had any
thing to ;do with it. We are glad
make this correction and justifica
tion m Mr. Campbell's favor.

Moore conducted the funeral service
The little babe was attacked with
whooping cough and during an un
usually severe , coughing spell on
Wednesday it passed away. A
year or two ago another child was
so severely burned that it died from
the effects. Their little boy was
injured a few weeks ago while play
ing at school and was in a precari
ous condition for several days. The
family has the sympathy of a host
of mends who share with them in
their bereavement. The little boy
we are glad to say is new about
well. Mr. Cooper himself is absent
in Montana shearing sheep.-. He is
located 25 miles from any point of
direct communication and word
could not reach him in time for his
return to the funeral of his child
He has been reached however and
jwill return soon.
