He was honest, courteous and amiable in manner and disposition, and breathed love and charity all along his path of life. It was a beautiful Christian life that went out in his death the 23rd day of August, 1905, and the Church and State loses much on account thereof.

Woodward had an exhibition of fancy gun play a few days ago which recalled the earlier days to the memory of old inhabitants. The trouble started just after a horse race, in which some of the animals themselves were wagered on the result, he winner went to the feed yard after the horses, and. was informed that there was a feed bill against them. He went after the proprietor first with a "rope" and then with his gun. A deputy, sheriff who tried to in terfere in the melee was attacked by a fiiend of the horseman, who was in turn engaged by the city marshal. About the same time another festive cowboy was hold ing up a bakery, with a Winchest er, just for the fun of the thing, but was later persuaded to lay down his arms. Altogether there was as much gun play as in a Wild West show, or a'Gilliss mel odrama, and as few casualties. Kansas City-Journals CtmrleTH.
