$300 REWARD
The Commissioners of Cham-
paign County will give a reward
of $300 for the arrest of Charles
(alias "Coll") Brannen, wanted
at Urbana, Ohio, for the brutal
and cold-blooded murder of his
brother, Willam, at their home six
miles north west of Urbana on the
16th of April 1908 at noon.
Brannen is 47 years old; 5 feet
7 to 9 inches tall dark complexion
weighs about 160 pounds wears a
down cast look leans little for-
ward from the hip up when walk-
ing,is a little squint-eyed and will
look no one squarely in, the face.
His face is peaked and bears the
marks of years of symphilitic
suffering the marks strongly re-
samble pock marks. He is be-
leived to be siill afflicted with
that disease. Color of hair black
turning gray.
Brannen is a moulder by trade
but may be found around race
tracks. If drinking he will be
found around low dives and saloon
or amoung tramps.

due to heart failure complicated
with other diseases. The an-
nouncement of his death was de-
layed until an official statement
had been prepared by the physi-
cians who have been attending
him in the various periods of his
illness.
Those at the bedside when the
end came wore Mrs. Cleveland
and three pnysicians. The only
other persons in the house at the
time were a number of servants.
Mrs. Cleveland is prostrated and
only a few sympathetic neighbors
have been able to see her. When
nearby neighbors heard of the ex-
bresiden'.'s death many of them
hurried to Wostland to render
whatever assistance they could.
The funeral was held today,
Friday, June 26, at "Westland,"
the Cleveland residence in Bayard
Lane, Princeton, and was strictly
private.
In Mr. Cleveland's death, the
country loses one of the noblest
men It ever possessed, but like
never forgets a good and great
man.
The principal events of Mr.
Clevelands life are well known.
The son of a Presbyterian clergy-
man born in Caldwell, Essex
county, New Jersey, on March 18,
1887, he was a few months past 71
years of age at the time of his
death. After a common school
and academic education, he
adopted law as a profession and
settled In Buffalo, New York. By
186U he had acquired sufficient
political influence to become as-
sistant district attorney of Erie
county. After becoming in suc-
cession the sheriff of the county
and mayor of Buffalo, he was
elected governor of New York in
1882. In 1884 he was nominated
by the Democratic party for the
presidency. James G. Blaine was
the Republican nominee and
Cleveland won at the polls, be-
coming the first Democratic pres-
dent since the civil war,
