Patty, one of the oldest citizens of this part of the coun- try, died at his home: just east of the city Monday afternoon after a long illness of nephritis.

There were a few vacant houses that had not heen burned - during the war and Mr. Denny told him to move into any of them ‘as their owners probably would never elaim them, He remained here and engaged rather exten- Sunday Schoo} Convention of the Bates County Sunday School ‘As- sociation to be held in Rich Hill motored down. to Nevada Sunday and spent the day visiting friends. have been fifty homicides in that | sively in the live’ stock business. city since January 1.
