OIHTUAItV OF -SIRS MARGARET
UIIiLIS
Margaret Hillis was born March 6,
1S34 and died June 23. 1911. She
crossed the plains with her first hus
band Solomon Manwaring and four
children two of whom died on the
way. Win. Manwaring died and was
burled at Rock Point.
Sho was married to Wm. Peck
Hillis in July 1SG5. From this union
there were five children all of whom
survive her. William Hillis, John
HIUIs, Mrs. Mary Moore, Mrs. Maggie
Taylor and Mrs. Elizabeth Slmmer
vlllo; also fourteen grand children to
mour her loss.
Mrs. HIUIs knew something of the
trials and hardships of pioneer life
on tho Pacific Const and yet lived to
pass her seventy-seventh year. Four
weeks before her funeral she attend
ed tho service at the Wlmer church
when tho writer was pleased to minis
ter to her the Wrord of Life. She
lways extended a welcome with a
ready heart and band and many n
time it has been my privilege to sit
with her and her family at tho table
and partake of her hospitality.
The sturdy virtues of the early
pioneer contributed to a long and
useful career in spite of tho contest
with primitive conditions before
which many a weaker nature gave
way. She leaves behind a family
whose oneness is evident although
separated by family ties of their own
No better evidence of a well ordered
home can bo found than the fact that
her five grown children all having
families of their own are so near to
each other that all were present at
tho funeral without having to over
come time and distance. '
Tho writer by request of the fam
ily performed the last kind office for
the dead on Sunday, June 25, 1911.
Sho was buried by tho side of her
husband, Wm. P. HIUIs In tho Wood
vllle cemetery. A largo concourse of
sympathizing friends from Evans
Creek and Woodvllle attended the
funeral.

' WIS MAUDE BUCK '
MUSKOGEE, July 1. Revenue
officers whoso hats were shot off by
Maude Black, a comely, dark haired
girl, when they went prowling Into
the Klnmtchl mountains seeking
"moonshiners" are not going to get
off so easy next time, according to
her declaration In court. She Is held
hero ns a witness in a rase ngalnst
John Thompson and "Jim" Cantrell,
captured in a raid near Eutaula. The
girl Is Thompson's sweetheart, and,
angered by his arrest, she threatens
to take better aim hereafter.
She declared she was an expert rifle
and revolver shot, and in answer to a
query as to her mnrkmanship said
calmly: "Oh, 1 could shoot that offi
cer's star off his breast at one hun
dred yards without any trouble. Once
I shot two officers' hats off when
they came nosing around too near. I
could have killed them, but didn't
want to do that. I stood guard, you
know, while John and "Jim" worked
the still."
Maude Black Is barely out of her
teens, but has earned the title of
"Queen of the Moonshiners." Her
hair Is of the darkest hue and she
wears It In two long braids over her
shoulders. Her eyes are dark and
presented an unfathomable depth
when sho appeared on the witness
stand and frankly told the story of
her llfo among the moonshiners. "
CANDY AND FRUIT
CHECKS REBELLION
Girls In Reformatory Start Mob Rule
Say Their Actions Were Inspired
by Lack of Food and Inhuman
Treatment.
WllITTIKU, Cal., July 1. Ten
pounds of chocolate candy and a cart
load of oranges caused 76 girl In
mates of tho stato-reformntory hero
to lay down their arms, following a
rebellion which loft thorn In almost
complete chargo of tho school. Seven
of the leading spirits of tho mutiny
are today lodged In tho Los Angeles
jnll awaiting a hearing before Judge
Wilbur In the juvenile court.
Tho maiden rebels claim tho riot
ing was due to Inhuman treatment
and poorly cooked food. Reformatory
officials say the trouble was started
by a new comer from San Francisco,
who, when she nttompted to escape
from the Institution, was locked up.
The girls, they sny, resented tho new
girl's Incarceration and massed In a
break tor liberty.
After breaking down several yards
of fencing the girls, armed with scis
sors, curling Irons, butcher knives
and forks, reached tho street In a
body and attacked a teamster who
fell In their path with a load of
onuiges. At this stago an official
promised to release the San Francis
co girl If the others would come back
Into the building. This was agreed
to but later tho girls vented their
pique on the Institution by breaking
furniture and smajhlng windows.
Parole Officer Mourdant of Los
Angeles, hearing of the trouble, dis
tributed $10 worth of candy among
tho rioters and disorder gave way to
peace.
