John H. McComb, a pioneer, who died recently at Shenandoah, divided
his property peculiarly. The estate is valued at $150,000. Half was deeded
direct to his two daughters, and their children. The other half was placed
by deed of trust in the hands of three trustees, who are to manage it for a
term of years in the interest of the heirs.
Mrs. C.B. McFerren of Thurman, who shot herself in the breast with

it so sick she threw it off.

City, and for whom a reward of $25 was offered, was located near Lorimor and
