e, be it said to their credit, paid womanly tribute to all that remained of Jennie Forrest. Rev. R. E. Pierce, M. E., officiated at the funeral services. Jennie was human, and she may have sinned, but as it is not our province, we leave it to the Master. Let Him judge. Leroy K. Morgan, who was a barkeeper in a saloon at Hanover, applied to Sheriff Lock- hart for appointment as deputy sheriff, being recommended by the justice of the peace of his precinct, and numerous residents in that vicinity. Sheriff Lockhart refused to make the appointment but Morgan was determined to dis- tinguish himself, and without waiting for a commission, assumed the role of an officer, and followed one Flood, who was departing from that section without liquidating a bill for liquor. The quasi officer overtook his victim at Whitewater, threw him down, tied his hands, and relieved him of his time check. He held the check until Flood promised to settle his in- debtedness. They then returned to Central, where the check was cashed and the bar ac- count settled. Mr. Morgan became a guest of the county, at the “hotel Lynch” on Saturday. He was tried on the charge of impersonating an officer, on Monday, but was released, as the wrong charge was preferred against him. Mr. Morgan may not acquire much fame or riches as an officer, but he has undoubtedly learned something.
