Lewis, One of Butler's Most Enterprising and Usefal Citizens Causes General Sorrow in the City. A Proclamation of the Mayor Request- ing the Suspension of Business is Generally Observed—the Funeral is One of the Largest and Most Imposing Ever Witnessed In the City. Charley B. Lewis departed this life at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, May 5, 1897, of inflammation of the stomach, after an illness of five days. He was taken sick on Friday, and suffered much but his symptoms did not become serious until Monday. Late Tuesday evening it was thought there was a change for the better, but later in the night a relapse took place and he sank rapidly until the end. Funeral services were held from the Ohio street M. E. church Thurs day morning. Mayor Clardy issued a proclamation for the closing of the business houses during the hour of funeral services, and every citizen of Butler who could possibly attend was there. Services were conducted by the eloquent pastor, Rev. Jones, aud were very impressive. . The remains were taken to Johns town and Jaid to rest by the side of his wife and little girl. The funsral was conducted by Bates Lodge No. 180 I. 0. O. F. of which order he was an honored member, the lodge going in a body to the grave, accom panied by a large procession of our citizens. Chas. B. Lewis was a native born Missourian and spent the greater part of his 45 years of life in Bates county. He came to Butler twenty years ago and has been closely identified with every public improve- ment of the city since. He was one of the most public spirited citizens ever in Butler, and the community will sadly feel ita loss. He was a broad minded, big hearted gentle- man and no charity ever appealed to him in vain. His purse and sym pathies were always open to the poor and afflicted, and he gave as much to charity according to his means as any man in Bates county. He was the friend of the widow and orphan and they always turned to him in time of great need. He was a kind and loving husband, an indulgent father, a good neigh- bor, a true friend and useful and valued citizen. He leaves a .widow and two cbildren, a son and daugh- ter, both of them grown, who have the heart felt sympathies of the en- tire community. The Trmzs had a pleasant call Tuesday from Judge Coleman, asso ciate justice of the county court for the north district He called to ha.ethe Times sent to his uncle, J R. Witt, of Troy, Mo. Judge Cole- man is making (just what we pre- dicted before the election,) a most excellent, conservative and intelli gent member ofthe court. He isa good business man and successful farmer. In electing Judge Coleman the north district has not had a bet- ter representative on the bench in many years.

April 15 —Two years ago the Rev. Ned Forrest was the sensational but popular pastor of the Congregational chureh here. He resigned and became for a time general field secretary fur the Con gregational board and later was for a short time pastor at Vinita, I. T. From there he went to Anna, IIl., but the church here wanted him back, and sent him a unanimous call. They were too late, however, for the day before the call arrived at Anna he had another ‘‘call” and eloped with a dashing blonde widow, de serting wife and children. Since then nothing was heard of him by his friends here until Monday, when he arrived in town with his family. He had tired of the widow, returned to his family, made up end came here to go into business, having left the ministry. Sawed Through the ‘Bars. Sheriff Mudd had the misfortune to lose four of his prisoners Wednes day night of last week. They gained their hberty by sawing the steel bars and then going through the brick wall. At the time of the delivery Sheriff Mudd was at bis cffice in the court house, assisting the sheriff of Cass county mail descriptions of four prisoners who had just made their escape from his jail. The names of the Bates county prisoners were: Nate Silva. Wm. Anderson, Nick Darden and Wm. Gooden. Silva and Anderson were the two harness thieves; Gooden was also held for burglary and Darden was serving a a jail sentence. Sheriff Muddis mak ing every effort in his power to cap- ture the fugitives and the prospects are good for his getting back a part or all of them. To guard against further escape of prisoners and make the prison almost proof against delivery, the county court would be justified in lining the brick walls of the jail with boiler iron. If this were done the escape of prisoners by means which they secure to make their exit would be almost an impossibility. The prison then would be one of the most substantial jails in the state.
