Rifle Range Storage House Burned Near Parr Wednesday,

J. L. Babcock, of near Parr, called the captain of the local militia company Wednesday afternoon to inform him that the storage house for the supplies used on the government rifle range at Parr had burned down. According to Mr. Babcock the building caught fire through the carelessness of section hands who were burning off the right-of-way along the railroad. The range house probably cost about |IOO to build and it was filled with target frames, canvas for covering the frames, paper targets, marking devices, score cards, some ammunition, two telephones and a complete outfit for running the range. The equipment had just been put into shape for starting target practice, the season having opened the first of the month. Report has been made to the government disbursing oflicer, who will doubtless file a claim with the railroad for adjustment of the loss.

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY TO JAMES OVERTON.

Veteran Died From Heart Failure After Working Short Tlme in Garden at His Home. The second sudden death of the week, both being veterans of the Civil War and among the younger and more Active of old soldiers, occurred this Thursday morning at about 10 o’clock. The victim was James Overton, who lived on West Washington street in the northwest part of Rensselaer. Mr. Overton had been working in his garden for a short lime and became tired and went into the house. He was subject to attacks of heart trouble and realized that his condition was serious. Dr. F. H. Hemphill, who lives just across the street, was summoned and responded at once. Mr. Overton had two slight attacks and he remarked to Dr. Hemphill, “I’m a dead man.” He was bitting in a chair and as he said it he closed his eyes and breathed but a time or two more. His wife and some of his sons were present when the finale summons came. Mr. Overton was about 68 years of age and served in the 151st Indiana regiment during the Civil war. He fs the father of ten sons and one daughter. The sons are about .all grown to manhood. The daughter is the youngest child and is still in school. The funeral will probably be held Sunday, advices being awaited as to the time some of the sons who are away can reach home.

Republican Will Run Another “Missing Word” Content

The Republican will soon inaugurate another “missing word” contest, and advertising solicitors have already begun work. Two previous contests of this kind conducted by this paper proved very successful and the present one should be equally so. The advertising will cover a period of ten weeks in the Evening Republican and in each Friday issue. A prize of $3 will be given to the person bringing or sending in the first correct list of missing words, sufficient to war ran readers in going carefully over the advertisements each time that they appear. Ten weeks advertising where the ads are read by practically every person in Jasper county will prove a splendid thing for the merchants who take advantage of the opportunity. The ads may be changed each week and the merchant should do this to get the maximum of benefit. The Republican has done business on twc previous occasions with the same pro motors and assures its readers thai they will find the solicitors anxious to present the matter to them just as it is. Give them a cordial reception and get in on this first-class advertls ing proposition.
