I Death of an Honored C The funeral of Wesley Kipp, who died Sunday evening, took place from the family residence on Ohio street Tuesday at 2 pm under the auspices ofthe Masonic order. Rev. Jones of the M. E. church was present and offered christain consolation to the bereaved family. The deceased we suddenly Friday ni with a severe stroke of pi entire right side being affected. His condition from the first was such that little or no hopes wereentertain- ed for his recovery. Up to the time he was stricken he had been in excellent health and was talking and making preparations to spend the summer in Colorado. The following brief history of his life is taken from the Old Settler's history of Bates county: Wesley Kipp was born in Schaghticoke, N. Y. January 11, 183: Moved to La- Fayette, Ind., in 1848, and wasthere connected with the Toledo, Wabash & Western Railway until 1868 when he moved to Sedala Mo. During his residence in Sedalia he ran several hack lines south and one through Bates county to Ft. Bcott, Kansas, when Bates county wasin her infancy and prior to the building of the M. kK. & T. railway. He was united in marriage Feb. 3, 1859, to Margarett Sprott. Three children, being Mrs. F. A. Morse, Mrs. Joe Little, and E. D. Kipp, were born tothe union and together with the devoted wife and mother survive. Putnam Fadeless Dyesdo not stain the hands or spot the kettle. Sold by H. L.

Leabo was tried in this county for the murder of his wife at Foster and on his second or third trial was convicted of the crime and by Judge Gannt, sentenced to be hanged Aug. 22, 18 The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by Goveanor Marmaduke and he was imprisoned in the penitentiary, where he remained until two years ago, when, according to holiday customs, he was pardoned by Governor Steph- ens, along with two other long term prisoners. On his release Leabo returned to Butler, and remaining here a few days left for California to visit his sister and other relatives who had located in that state after his incarceration in the penitentiary. His sister had taken his little boy, then about 2 Years of age, with her to raise, and during all these years the child had been kept in ignorance of the troubles of his father. It is said on Leabo’s going to California he again married. The story as told by the Telephone. on the authority of Judge Woods, is that Leabo confided in his son, tell- ing him of his troubles in Missouri and of being aceused and convicted of the murder of his mother. The boy in turn informed his stepmother and she immediately packed her trunk and left him. This enraged Leabo who sought his son and murdered him. For this act a mob hung him. As to the murder of his wife Leabo | positively denied his guilt, even after his pardon by the governor. q son. close us: Great Revival Closed. Springfield, Mo., May 28.—Major J. H.
