Friday, 22 Nov., 1918, Vol 32, No 32--A LETTER FROM BRYAN SWETNAM--Miss Susie Kirby received a letter last week from Bryan Swetnam, who is in France, under date of Sept, 19, from which we take the following: "Will answer your two welcome letters of July 31 an d August 19, which I received a few days ago. Was more than glad to hear from you and that everybody was well. I have a cold at present, but it is better than it was a few days ago. You know I am always doing something about 7:30. If not driving, I am sitting around with the boys telling stories or arguing about something. No I am not in love with a French girl yet and hardly think I will be anyways soon. Have been driving the past few days and pretty busy. Got a bunch of mail the last week and will have to spend the day tomorrow writing. I am driving a car now at headquarters and like my work just fine. I have driven to a good many different places, so you see I have some idea of French customs. They sure have some nice beds at the hotels. I have stopped at quite a number of them and they are all the same. All the beds have big feather beds on them, so you see why I like to sleep in them. Guess I will get my service stripe about the first of October. It seems like a long time since we came across the briny deep. I am not any ways close to the 35th or 89th divisions. If I see any of the boys I know, though I do not think they are any ways close. We are going to have victory some day before long and then I am coming back to the USA, and when I do, I am going to have one swell time for a month without any revelle or retreat, and not even answer roll call. Won't that be swell? Had a letter from Carl Duncan the other day. He is well and getting along just fine. Have received several letters from him this summer. Friday, 22 Nov., 1918, Vol 32, No 32--A NOBLE WOMAN GONE TO HER REWARD--Mrs. H. C. Haley died at her residence 4 miles southwest of Huntsville Sunday, November 17, 1918. She was 70 years, 4 months and 11 days old. She was the daughter of Shelton Rutherford, deceased, and Francis Rutherford, who survives. She also leaves her husband and seven children, 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren. A daughter Frances, died in early childhood. The children are, Mrs. S. C. Wisdom and Jas. Haley of Moberly; S. L., W. T,.T. C. and Obe Haley of Huntsville, and Mrs. B. C. Wilson of near Higbee. She was a woman of indomitable energy and domestic in her nature, and withal she was a congenial and happy disposition, devoted to her family, kind to her neighbors and ever stood for the high ideals of life. One of the sweetest attributes of her life was her Christian character, loyal devotion to her church. She was a consistent and faithful member of the Christian church, having joined the Christian church near Antioch, near Milton when but 13 years of age. For the past 25 years she had held her membership at Providence church, near Huntsville. She and her now venerable companion, in the true spirit of martial devotion cast their bark upon the turbulent waters of life's sea and with brave hearts faced the storm tossed billows undaunted and unafraid. In the long voyage of 57 years they were doubtless tempest tossed but were never discouraged or dismayed. She has met the last final issue of the inevitable summons with the same brave and true spirit that always characterized her. The devoted husband and family attended the last trying ordeal of her painful illness with assiduous and tender care, but all to no avail. Her race upon earth had been nobly and bravely won. She leaves to the heritage of her children the memories of the brave battles she fought and the victories she won. In the years to come they will stand forth as a beacon light when the adverse gales of life pressed down upon them. The funeral services were conducted at the home by the Rev. R. H. Tanksley, pastor of the Christian church at Moberly. Interment was at Huntsville cemetery. Her five sons and a grandson were pallbearers. Peace to her ashes. ONE WHO KNEW HER. Friday, 22 Nov., 1918, Vol 32, No 32--ALL PUBLIC MEETINGS FORBIDDEN--Several new cases of influenza having developed in the past few days, eight cases having been reported up to yesterday, the Board of Health held a special meeting with the city council at the city hall yesterday evening at 5 o'clock, when the lid was put on all public gatherings, notice of which can be seen in this issue. Mayor Thomason also has something to say that should be of interest, and it is hoped all will give heed to his request. As he states, it is foolishness to close all business houses and prohibit all meetings if those who have the disease in their homes are allowed to roam the streets at will. It is to be hoped that the Board of Health will make an example of all such, should there be any.

Cook of this place received a letter last week from her son, John, under date of October 13: "Dear Mother: This is Sunday afternoon and I am feeling fine. Having my wounds dressed twice a day now. It is sure funny how my back is split open and doesn't hurt. The bullet only went in the flesh. Didn't hit any bones. Went in just behind my shoulder blade, straight down my back about three inches, and it is about six inches from where it went in to where they cut it out. I am getting along just fine. We got good news today. Papers say Germany has accepted President Wilson's terms. Everybody has a long smile today. If it is true, we will all be home soon. I haven't heard from my company yet, but there was a lot gassed and wounded. Well, we are all ready to come. Had all the war we want. I sure saw some sights, and there was some fighting. I walked over a great bunch of Germans. They were sure thick in some places. We got beer out of dugouts and lots of good eats--canned stuff. Well is it supper time. Will write soon again."

Friday, 22 Nov., 1918, Vol 32, No 32--A MOBERLY SHOOTING--A quarrel, the origin of which has not been definitely ascertained, resulted Friday evening in the serious wounding of John Wilkerson, a Wabash brakeman, by a revolver in the hands of Henry Fosher, also a Wabash brakeman. The shooting occurred at about 7 o'clock, the wounded man falling or jumping through the glass in the front door of Eisenstein's store. Three shots were fired, each of which took effect, two in the chest and one in the abdomen. Wilkerson, however did not lose consciousness at first and talked composed to those who reached him first. As he was being removed to the hospital he became unconscious and his condition remains critical, though if no complications set up attending physicians say he has a chance to recover. Wilkerson made his way to the rear of the store after going through the door and was sitting on the edge of a table when found by Night Watchman Broaddus who entered the store immediately after the shooting. The altercation which culminated in the shooting, began in Mission billiard hall and continued as Focher and Wilkerson and his brother went out on the street. Wilkerson, witnesses say was very abusive and as Focher stopped strode up to him and hit him. The latter staggered back and drew his gun and the three shots were fired with scarcely interval between them. Focher says he believed Wilkerson was armed and that he acted in self defense. He made no effort to escape, handing his revolver to a friend on request and accompanying him started towards the police station but meeting Officers Noel and Frazier was taken into custody by them. Both men are well known among the railroad men and other citizens of the town, and the news of the unfortunate affair causes general regret. Both men formerly resided in Kentucky, but have been connected with the Wabash here for some years past. Mr. Focher was placed under $5,000 bond in Judge M. M. Marshall, before whom the preliminary hearing was held Saturday. He has engaged Hunter & Chamier to handle his case--Moberly Monitor. Kathy Bowlin, Additions, corrections, comments welcome.
