A sliiidnw of sorrow r.ml regret w s

when about noon it was announced
Mint l.'n ok' l'anl Roberts had issued
away. Hit had been seriously HI at
the lionui of liia sister Mr. J. W.
Webb for several week with lagrippo.
The old gentleman seemed to be re-
covering slightly nnd was sitting tip at
tlio tlm tho Death Messenger came.
Quletlj nnd without wnrnlng lie rank
down in his clintr and by tho time those
in the room reached his side he was
dead.
The remains were takeuln charge by
tlioTnmx Undertaking Company and
wne vmb limed and prepared for buri-
al. Funeral services were conducted
at the Christian church Wednesday
afternoon at 'J o'clock by the pastor
Rut. I.. L. Shaw and were Attended
by a large concourse of friends who
had known the deceased for yean as an
honorable upright man and who gath-
ered to pay thin tribute of respect to
one who had resided iu our midst for
years and enjoyed the goodwill and en-
teem of all. Tde members of tho Ma-
sonic lodge of which the deceased was
an honored member attended the fu-
neral in a body and took charge of tho
burial nerv!ee at the grave Interment

Paul Roberts was born in England
He came to America with his parents
eitrly in life and settled in Illinois. He
was never married. From Illinois ho
came to Heaver a number of years ago
and was associated in the mercantile
business with tho linn of Roberts
Webb it MaKillips which Arm was lat
er changed to Huberts & McKillipa.
The latter firm continued in business
until tho lirst of this year whon they
sold out nnd Mr Huberts retired from
business. Shortly afterward ho whs
taken with a serious attack of lagrippe.
Other complications arose and he was
never able to lenve his home again.
The death of this man is felt with
deep regret by all who knew him
Though quiet and reserved he was a
substantial citizen and one who at-
tended strictly to his own affairs and
accorded to all others the samo privi-
lege. Tliose associated with him i n
business and those having business
dealings with him always found him
strictly fair and honest.
The Herald joins in expressing sym-
pathy to the sister Mrs Webb with
whom tho deceased made his home for
so many years and to the other mem-
bers of the family.

which played both here and Forgan.
Following tho game at Forgjn he

ment for tho same. He was conlliitd
in tho county jail for several months

dismissed for want of prosecution.
During his Incarceration in the jail his
