William Terrill died August 21, 1869, and after an elapse of thirty years time, was taken up and brought to this city.

Dougherty of Howard county, we regret to learn is quite sick with pneumonia. 31 Mar 1899--Higbee had a shooting scrape last Saturday night, but fortunately, it did not result seriously. From what we can learn, a number of men met at the house of Thos Longdon, Jr., and were enjoying a keg of beer, when Longdon and his wife engaged in a quarrel in an adjoining room, and he thought to settle the matter by slapping her. He then came into the room to join his company. It seems that Mrs. Longdon didn't consider the matter settled, for she secured a pistol, and approaching the window from the outside commenced shooting at her husband--as a mark of affection, perhaps. The first shot lodged in Richard Maxfield's left arm, making an ugly flesh wound, while the others flew wide of their mark. The doctors located the ball in Dicks arm but have not removed it as yet. Mrs. Longdon was brought before Justice of the Peace Rankin, upon the charge of assault, and he assessed her fine at $7.50 and costs. 31 Mar 1899--Thos Longdon and John Owens were in Moberly Monday. 31 Mar 1899--Died, at the residence of J. H.

Dougherty, of Howard county, mention of whose serious illness appeared in last week's News, died Wednesday morning, the 29th, aged 52 years. He represented his county three terms in the legislature and acquitted himself with much credit. Deceased leaves a wife and three children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. His remains were buried at Mount Pleasant Church southeast of Myres, Wednesday. 31 Mar 1899--Mrs. C. W. Edmonston, of this place, who was taken to the asylum for the insane at Nevada, about a month ago, died at that place at 5:30 a.m. Monday, March 27, 1899. Her mind began to improve as soon as she entered the institution, but as her mind gained her constitution began to give way, and an attack of pneumonia proved fatal. Mr. Edmonston was notified of her condition Sunday and left at once for Nevada, reaching there a few hours before her death. Deceased was 47 years of age, and leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss. The remains were taken to Mexico Tuesday for interment. The heart-broken husband and children have the sympathy of the entire community. 31 Mar 1899--Mrs. Chas. S. Fales was greatly surprised Tuesday morning by the arrival of her mother, Mrs. Mary Dougherty, from Newton, Iowa, as she was under the impression that her mother was dead. Mrs. Fales spent the early part of the winter in Iowa with her mother who is suffering with paralysis. Mrs. Fales thinking her mother much improved, left for home, but had not been here many days, when she received a telegram informing her of her mother's death, and knew no better, until Monday evening, when she received a letter to expect her Tuesday morning. Mrs.. Dougherty was accompanied by Mrs. Lutie Wulf and Miss Dollie Coulkins, and from them we learned how it was the news reached here of her death. Mrs. Dougherty, after her daughter's departure, grew suddenly worse, and her physicians and nurses pronounced her dying. A boy was sent to town to telegraph to her relatives that she was dying, but when the boy returned home, Mrs. Dougherty was much better. Mrs. Wulf and Miss Caulkins returned to Iowa Wednesday. 31 Mar 1899--CLARK ITEMS--Thos Dunnington and Miss Mary Roberts were married at the residence of Rev. J. K.
