The Farquhar is entirely different from t the ordinary hot air furnace, being constructed of welded sseel it is absolutely gas tight. It is self regulating, cannot be overheated. The Earquhar system ventilates as well as heats, as each room on the first floor is provided with a return £ipe, which takes the cold air from i floor and circuites same through heater.

WILLIAM VAN CLEVE DIED FROM INJURY

Was Accidentally Shot by Wopbew Jan. 25th and Died at Httma South of Fair -Oaks. ' William Van Cleave, aged about 33 years, died this Friday* morning at about 8 o’clock at his home on the Eggleston farm, Just south of Fair Oaks. Death was the result of an injury suffered on Jan. 25th when he was shot while hunting with his nephew, Ray List, a young man about 18 years old. Van Cleave was visiting at the home of his ; father in'Barkley township and he and List had started out to cut some wood. List carried a Shotgun and when a rabbit jumped up and he started to shoot it he stumbled and the charge of shot passed through Van Cleave’s right leg, tearing the muscles badly and slightly injuring the femur 'bone. Van Cleave was removed to his home after Dr. Washburn had dressed the injury. Later the case was turned over to Dr. Rlee, of Roselawn. Presumably blood poisoning resulted and for several days he had been declining. He leaves a wife and five small children and they are reported to be in destitute circumstances. It was only a short time before this that Mrs. Krout, also of Union township, was killed by the criminal negligence of her son-in-law, leaving eight children'"motherless. Thus shot guns caused two deaths and left five children without a father and eight without a mother. There were also several other less serious accidents during the past ferw months in this couhty.
