Clarkson Willcuts, a resident of Marson, Ind. was the victim of a bold crime which occured at his home Saturday evening a t 6:45. Mr. Willcuts aged 71 years and his wife, were sitting in their house reading the newspapers when they were attracted to the door by some one walking on the porch which 1 they thought was some neighbor 1 coming to spend the evening. When Mr. Willcuts opened the door the robber pulled his revolver and forced his way into the house i where an instant later he shot Mr. Willcuts in the abdomen which resulted in his death about 20 minutes , later. The murderer who gave his name ’ as Cecil Fordyce aged 22, was iden- ! tified two hours later by a policeman from a description given of I the fellow who had a slight limp, by a young lady in a neighbor fam- ' ily who had watched him from a darkened room. Fordyce confessed that he commited the crime but said it was his r intention to rob not kill. /Mr. Willcuts was a full cousin of Mr. Clark Druckamiller of this place who attended the funeral at Marion Tuesday.

Mrs. Lavina B. Miller. f The following obituary was taken from the Newaygo, Michigan, paper. .

Miller was born in Manheim, Penn., Oct. 5, 1853, and died in Newaygo, Mich., Jan. 21,1912 i Mrs. Miller came to Newaygo, with I her family, from Syracuse, Indiana, ! about seven years ago and, by rea- > son of her kindly disposition, made many friends during her resi- > dence in this village.

George miler, a daughter, Mrs. Raymond Minogue, and two grandchildren in Newaygo, • besides an aged mother, three sisters and two brothers in Pennsyvania. Funeral services were held at the house yesterday afternoon, conducted by Rev. D. Truman, pastor of the Congregational church Mrs. Miller was a member.

Those who attended the entertainment given by the Damon Musical Comedy Co., at the Opera House last Monday, passed quite an enjoyable evening. The company consisted of eight colored artists who are excellent dancers, comedians and singers. Prof. A. M. Damon sustained his well known reputation as the Black Paganini. In his wonderful solos on t h e violin he showed the touch of a master hand, while his charming solo of the “Last Rose of Summer” on the Cello earned the appreciative applause of the audience and convinced them of his talent developed in twenty five years of devotion to the art of music.

A praisworthy eulogy of a literary celebrity written by a worthy and loquacious Junior of the Syracuse High School. “My Own Authentic Opinion of Samuel Johnson.” Johnson is one of those persons that never are and never will be fully understood. Possibly, when the science of the mind reaches its greatest development he will be more nearly comprehended. At present lhe obfuscation attendance on all ' conculusions does not juatify the ! promulgation of personal opinion to ! any great extent. ' He was a progidy of learning from I his early infancy, possessed excep- I tional and distinguishable ability < while in school and an untiring as- I finity for hard work. It appears that I he outlived that virtue to a great I extent for when he was not obliged I to work he did not. '• Johnson had good intentions and < had it not for his reverse circum- < stances and uncongenial associates * he would undoubtedly, have done ' better. Still it was because he was ! practically a social outcast that we I get the othar side of affairs as contrasted with everything luxurious. I He deserves the respect, and while ' it would not be advisable to emulate ! him, still, it would not be admoni- ! tionable either, since Johnson by his ! own efforts rose from the lowest to ' a place of universal esteem. Words cannot express the indefeasible position of Johnson in English literature. Perhaps it would not be inetutable to endorse all the laudatory terms to be found in Carlyles. Sator Resartus.
