ing post, as the horse might rub
his nose against the post and the
next animal doing likewise stood a
good chance to catch the disease.

Further Details of the

An immense throng of people
attended the funeral of the late

Mr. Tharp was bora 25 years
aeo witmn halt, a mi e of the
spot where, on last Friday he
met his death. Direct informa
tion from the neighborhood gives
further details of -the tragic oc
currence. It seems that Mr.
Tharp had iust left the travel pit
with his wagon loaded, and had
started down a steep hill, whea
the man diesine1 in the pit heard
Tharp's horses, running away.
following at a run, the man
found Tharp nearly buried in
gravel, and mashed and blood
stained almost beyond semblance
to. human being. Gravel was in
the eyes, nose and mouth, and
the left side of the body was so
crushed that the heart and lung
were nearly torn away. '
lhe front end-gate to the
wagon was found to be out. and
by some it is thought that the
end-gate broke and that the
eravel beean falling, takinc Mr.

Mrs. Mary Garlinghouse.
Some time back Mrs. Mary

ed to have caused her death,

home about a mile from Monroe.
She was aged 79 years at the
time of death.
Mrs. Garlinghouse is reputed
to have been one of the wealth
iest people in her section during
life her possessions consisted
mainly of large tracts of land.
She was one of Benton's earlv
pioneers. She had one daughter,
Mrs. Fannie Starr, who survives
her, and who was with her when
