The Reporter ig called upon to re-
cord the death of one of its old friends,
James Kimport, of near Linden Hall,
The death occurred Wednesday morn-
ing after an illness of about ten days,
and was due to paralysis, Had he
lived until April 17¢h next, he would
have attained the age of eighty years.
Regardless of his age, up to within &
ghort time ago, Mr. Kimport enjoyed
fairly good health, and up until quite
recently made trips to Linden Hall
and other nearby points.
Funeral services will bs held on
Friday morning, services at the home
at 9:30 o'clock, and interment at
Bprucetown in the family burying
plot. Rev. J. Max Lantz will be the
officiating minister.
Mr. Kimport is the last of the nine
children of Johu Kimport., The fath-
er came to Harris township from Lab-
anon county, and the mother ( Fort-
pey) from Lancaster county. For
many years they lived in ‘‘the sold
house” on the Kimport farm, apd it
was there the children were born, and
the subject of this sketch lived there,
and later in the new improvements, all
his life. He and his sister, Miss Liz-
z'e, who died a year ago, kept up the
Kimport bome, Neither of them
were married, but took into their
home A. B. Kimport, former prothon-
otary of this county, and his sister
Miss Elizabeth, and reared them.
The latter remained there until the
present time, repaying as well as she
could the kindnesses bestowed by the
uncle when she was a child.
Mr. Kimport was a stanch Demo-
erat, and some years ago was the can-
didate of his party for county treasur-
er. He was a man of Kindly disposi-
tion, always willing to favor his
friends and neighbors, and honest in
his dealings with every one.

Timothy Coffin, who was prominent

century, once secured the acquittal of
an old woman accused of stealing a
plece of pork. As she was leaving the
courtroom she put her hand to her
mouth and in audible whisper sald:
“Mr. Carfin, what'll T do with the

Quickly came the retort: “Eat it, you

DOOMED HIMSELF.
Chief Shavehead Boasted Once Toc

J. Seymour Currey in *The Story of
Old Fort Dearborn” describes the mas
gacre of the garrison of the old fort
and tells of one instance of poetic Jus.
tice for the Indians’ butchery.
“Bloody retribution,” says Mr, Cur
rey, “overtook one of the savages,
who on the day of the massacre
showed no mercy to his victims, This
was a chief known as a deadly enemy
of the whites and who bore the expres
glve name of Shavehend because of his
peculiar manner of tying up his scanty
hair.
“Years afterward Chief Shavehead
was ih company with a band of hunt
ers in the Michigan woods. In the
party was a white man who had for
merly been a soldier at Fort Dearborn
and was one of the survivors of the
battle on the shore. At one of
