A Sudden Death

Our community was shocked Sunday morning when the news was telephoned to town that Mrs. Henry Henning the wife  of one of our prosperous farmers now farming the Talbot place had just died.

At 8 o'clock a.m. a telephone message was received calling for Dr. Tooley. A half hour thereafter another message was received countermanding the call and stating that the lady had just expired.

Mrs. Henning arose Sunday morning apparently as well as ever. She dressed her little child and began preparing the morning meal when she complained of a severe headache, which continued to increase. A doctor was telephoned for but it was to late. In a few moments and without warning she was a corpse. The doctor gave the cause of death as paralysis of the brain. On Sunday evening the body was brought to town and taken to the residence of A. Henning from which place the funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. e. L. Burch conducted the services at the house and one of the largest funeral corteges ever seen in Willows followed the remains to their last resting place.

Deceased was a lovable young woman who had a host of friends in and about Willows. She was a German lady by birth and had only resided in this country seven years. Five years ago at Germantown she married Henry Henning, her maiden name being Annie Schilling. She leaves behind a husband, a little son a year and a half old, and two brothers, Fred Schilling of  Woodland and Henry Schilling  now in Alaska.

Mr. Henning, the bereaved husband, has the sincere sympathy of the entire comunity in his sad bereavement.

Millions Given Away.

It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on J. H. Mitchell, Druggist, and get a trial bottle free, regular size 50c. and $1. Every bottle guaranteed. or price reunded.

THE LITTLE GIANT

A Grand Reception Accorded the Champion of the People

One of the grandest receptions ever accorded a public man was tendered Hon. James G. Maguire on his arrival this afternoon. Fully 2000 people were gathered at the depot when the train arrived, and when the Democratic standard bearer stepped from the train he was greeted with cheer upon cheer.

Two files of people formed at the depot and extended to the Crawford House, between which he marched headed by Silvey's Cornet Band.

Such an outpouring of people as are assembled today has rarely been seen in Willows. As we go to press Judge Maguire is speaking to fully 2500 people who have come from all parts of the county to hear him. We will give a synopsis of his address in our next issue.

Shot and Killed.

Princeton had a tragedy Sunday night in which one man was without warning sent into the presence of his maker.

Some four months ago W. H. St. Louis, who is described as being quarrelsome when drinking, entered Hosli's saloon  and picked up a row. Before he left the place he had licked both Hosli and his brother, John Ashley. 

Ever since then bad blood has existed between the parties and St. Lewis was warned, so we are informed that if ever he came into that saloon and created a disturbance he would not get out of it alive.

On Sunday evening St. Louis entered the saloon and a quarrel soon began between him and John Ashley, who was at the time tending bar. Vile epithets were indulged in when Ashley drew his revolver and fired at St. Louis. The ball entered just below the right nipple and St. Louis made a lurch toward the bar. As he did so Ashley shot him in the shoulder, the ball ranging downward. People then endeavored to stop Ashley from firing again, but just as St. Louis reached the porch in front of the saloon the third shot was fired. 

St. Louis lived but an hour after the shooting, all three balls having taken effect. Deceased was a son of Alex St. Louis and is well known here. His remains will be buried from the Catholic Church in this place this afternoon.

John Ashley was taken into custody by Sheriff Jones Sunday night and lodged in Jail.

Mrs. Hattie Freeman Honored.

The Grand Lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star closed its labors after a four days session at San Francisco on Friday last. Among the Grand Officers elected we note the name of Mrs. Harriett Freeman as having been elected as Grand Ruth for the ensuing year. Mrs. Freeman is the wife of our fellow-townsman W. V. Freeman and is a member of Marshall Chapter, No. 86, O.E.S. of this place. This is the first time that Marshall Chapter has been honored with having one of its members represented into the Grand Chapter and Mrs. Freeman may rightly feel proud of the distinction accorded her.
