New Market was the scene of a horrible murder about nine o'clock last night, when a young man by the name of David Riddles shot Dolph Adams, a son of Chas. Adams, in the left eye, the ball lodging in the brain. He lived until about four o'clock this morning in terrible agony, when he expired. Riddles was arrested by the sheriff of Taylor county and is now in jail awaiting his trial. It is said that both worked about the coal mines near there and it is supposed they were up town drinking and gambling which brought on their difficulty.

Murder at New Market
Adolph Adams Killed in a Drunken Row by David Riddles.

The two young men were with a few others, intoxicated, as the report comes. Riddles took away Adams' revolver and fatally shot him in the eye.

Riddles was arrested by the Taylor county sheriff. A coroner's inquest was held.
Adams' father and stepmother live at New Market.

[ADAMS, ADOLPHUS "DOLPH"]
Clarinda Journal (Clarinda, Iowa), Friday, July 29, 1898
NEW MARKET – The killing of Adolphus Adams by David Riddles on Wednesday night of last week was, in many respects, a most shocking affair. They were both coal miners during the winter and farm hands during the summer; they were intimates and friends, who drank excessively at times, but they were not habitual drunkards. Riddles is a native of Wales and 24 years old. Adams was born in this county 23 years ago. On Wednesday of last week, they were in town together and were drinking diluted alcohol; they continued their carousal until shortly after midnight, when Adams was shot. John Jarvis, Harley Chitty and Charlie Pace say they were present and witnessed the shooting. The weapon was Adams' double action six chambered revolver. Riddles said that when Charlie Pace handed him the revolver, which he had taken out of Adams' pocket, fearing Adams would hurt himself or others with it, he, Riddles, said it was "No good," and began snapping it without noticing in what direction he was pointing it, when there was a flash and Adams sank down groaning; that he was no more than three feet from Adams and that they stood face to face. He further said, on cross examination, that he had no previous use or knowledge of the gun. He was committed upon his own testimony, which the jury regarded as evidence of criminal carelessness. His bond was fixed at $1,000 and he was taken to the jail at Bedford. The coroner's jury was composed of Tom Loman, John Arthaud and Alex Duncan, all capable and good men, Loman being a justice of the peace, issued a warrant for his arrest and fixed his bond as above stated. This is the second death occurring here, as an indirect result of the whiskey traffic as conducted in this town, within the last five months, and it is high time that such business should be called down by the good people of the county, who ought to see that all drinking men and whiskey sellers should be retired from official position.

Death of Mrs. M. H. Best.
A telegram received Monday morning from New Market, Iowa, announced the death of Mrs. Libbie Brown Best at her home in that place. The intelligence was a severe shock to her large circle of friends in this city, who, though informed that for some time she had been in poor health, were not aware that her condition was serious. The body arrived on No. 1 Tuesday morning, accompanied by M. H. Best, her husband; Mrs. H. C. Brown, her mother; Mrs. H. E. Tomilson, a friend and neighbor; E. E. Brown, her brother from Parsons, Kansas; Allen P. Brown, her brother, Mrs. Allen P. Brown and son Roy, from Hastings. A delegation of Harvard lodge No. 82, A. O. U. W. and several intimate friends met the party at the train and escorted the remains to the Christian church, at which place at 10 o'clock the funeral services were held, Rev. Samuel Gregg officiating. The deceased grew to womanhood in Harvard and because of her many kindly graces of head and heart was beloved by all who knew her. To the sorrowing husband, parents and brothers the hearts of al go out in warmest sympathy in their great bereavement.
Obituary:
Mrs. Libbie N. Brown-Best, to whose memory we at this time pay our last respects, was born in Erie Co., N. Y., Jan. 25th, 1870. Came to Clay Co., Nebr., with her parents in May 1874. Was united in holy wedlock to M. H. Best in Harvard, May, 1893. In 1894 she with her husband moved to New Market, Iowa, where she lived until the time of her death, Oct. 2, 1899.
While just blooming into womanhood she became a Christian and from that day down to the time of her falling asleep, she lived a quiet, unassuming, yet devoted Christian life
She was loved by all who knew her for her pure spotless character and admired for her many womanly graces. She was a loving and affectionate wife and daughter and a friend to all.
For several years she was a patient sufferer and heroically bore up under the weight that finally conquered for a time.
In her death she leaves to mourn her departure a grief stricken husband o'er whose home a pall of darkness has fallen, a sorrowing father and mother, who in their declining years will miss the cheer of their only daughter and two brothers, who will miss the merry voice of a beloved sister.
We lay her remains away today—not to be forgotten but to be held in sacred memory as we await the glorious coming of our Lord and Master.   Samuel Gregg.

The Shenandoah Sentinel contained the following regarding Mr. Duncan:
Mr. Duncan has been a semi invalid for many years, troubled with stomach ailments that frequently got him down and then he would get up and attend to business and travel. He was a man of perennial good humor, a lover of a joke or a good story, and thus he overcame his physical suffering and handicaps. People who heard his merry laugh rarely knew that it was the reaction from suffering.
He was a devout Christian and a man of most exemplary habits and a hater of evil of every kind.
Funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Fred N. Willis. Interment was in Rose Hill cemetery.
A very large number of friends attended the services.

Sad Accident. Albert Dyche of Burlington Junction, Fatally Injured by a Vicious Horse.
Burlington Junction was the scene of a sad accident on Sunday, in which one of its most prominent citizens and businessmen lost his life. Mr. Albert Dyche, senior member of the firm of Dyche & Sons, went in his stable to feed his horse. He took a scoop full of corn in and in some manner in passing the horse touched him with the scoop. The horse sprang, crushing him against the stall. When the horse sprang back Mr. Dyche sank limp on the floor and was kicked and stamped in a terrible manner. He remembers nothing about this but he either crawled or was kicked away from the horse. When found he was senseless and covered with blood. Everything was done for him that medical skill could do, but he had suffered such severe internal injuries that he died in a few hours after the accident. He was buried on Tuesday with Masonic honors, hundreds attending the funeral.
Mr. Dyche was a man about forty-seven years of age. He leaves a wife and five children. He was an active energetic businessman, and his death will be a great loss to Burlington Junction. His untimely and sudden demise has clothed Burlington Junction in mourning and is an eloquent sermon the uncertainty of life.

Death of O. W. Dyche
Orie Wilburn Dyche died Wednesday November 14th at Herington, Kansas, at the age of 55 years after a long illness.
Mr. Dyche had many good traits, and a large number of friends were grieved to hear of his passing. He was a quiet, inoffensive man, pleasant and uncomplaining. His impaired physical condition caused him much pain in the last five years of his life. Through this suffering, there was no complaint. Knowing the end near he approached the Gates Ajar with a contentment that had been characteristic of his life.
Orie Wilburn Dyche was born the 24th day of March 1868 at Siam, Iowa. At the age of 2 his parents moved to Burlington Junction, Missouri where his father became a prosperous merchant and active in Masonic circles. His early life and until young manhood was devoted to the management of his father's business.
December 26, 1892 Mr. Dyche was united in holy wedlock to Miss Hannah Belle Liggett of Dickinson County, Kansas. Miss Liggett was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Liggett who were pioneer settlers of this community. To this union one son was given who was present at the funeral to comfort his mother in this hour of her sorrow.
In addition to the large gathering of relatives of Herington, the following relatives from out of town were present: Mr. Joseph Liggett, of Henryetta, Oklahoma, a stepfather; Mr. Tony Kirk, a brother-in-law and son from Ellsworth, Kansas; and Mr. Samuel Forrer of Wellington, Kansas, a brother of Mrs. J. L. Liggett. His mother, Mrs. Joseph Liggett of Henryetta, Oklahoma, was unable to attend on account of sickness.

Essa, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Prickett of Siam, died of typhoid fever, Monday, Aug. 14, age 12 years 9 months and 14 days. The family are old friends of Will O. Hutching, and he went over Monday night, prepared the little body for burial, and next day took it to Dallas Center church, four miles northeast of New Market, when he preached the funeral and laid the body to rest in Dallas cemetery. This is the fifth child that Mr. and Mrs. Prickett have lost in the last few years, and it is the second time that Mr. Hutching has preached a funeral for some member of that family in the last 18 months.

Hutchings. Mrs. Prickett's death is the fourth in the family, we believe, within a couple of years. besides these misfortunes, their home burned down not long ago, just as they were going to sell it.

Mrs. Martha Prickett – Mrs. Martha Prickett, wife of William Prickett, living two and one-half miles northwest of Siam, died last Thursday of typhoid fever. Rev. Will O. Hutchings preached the funeral sermon on Friday in the Dallas Center Methodist Episcopal church, five miles northeast of New Market, and buried the body in the Dallas Center cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Prickett have seen much of life's somber side. They lost their home by fire, then lost their farm through no fault of their own and five little mounds, side by side, in the cemetery, mark the resting place of the five children they have given up. The last child to go was a girl of thirteen years old, who died about six weeks ago, and it was in caring for her that the mother contracted her own fatal illness.

[PYBURN, AGNES ADAMS]
Arkansas Valley Democrat (Arkansas City, Kansas), Friday, January 23, 1885
Died. - On Wednesday, January 21st, Agnes, wife of A. J. Pyburn Esq., of this city. Mrs. Pyburn was 47 years old at the time of her death. She had been a resident of Kansas for many years; she was also a resident of the city in its early days, and as wife of one of our leading citizens, and mother of a happy family, she was loved and respected by all.
Words seem vain and useless in the presence of a great sorrow; and yet 'tis due and fitting, that we voice the feeling and sentiment of our people, for those so sorely tried and terribly bereaved in our midst. That the gloom may be lightened with the thought that many, many friends sympathize with the sorrow which has come to a home circle and left a vacancy never to be filled. To say to them that our hope is that with them, as with us and with all, not death, but change; not the ending of life, but the beginning of a new period more perfect and complete than that ended; that for them separation now, leaves hope for reunion hereafter. That knowing the worth of that which is lost, we can feel with them the void in the home. We can only say now that time in the future will soften the bitter sharpness of present grief, that the years with their soft tread will mellow and ripen in memory until the sharp sting of the present sorrow will be effaced.
The funeral service was conducted by the Rev. S. B. Fleming, at the residence at 11 a.m., Thursday, after which the remains were followed to their last resting place in the cemetery by many leading citizens.

The Death of Mrs. Agnes Pyburn
Mrs. Agnes Pyburn, the wife of Judge A. J. Pyburn, died Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock. When the report became circulated on the street Wednesday, the sad news could not at first be realized. For the last fifteen years of her life, Mrs. Pyburn had been in poor health, but her sudden demise was wholly unexpected. Several days previous to her death, she had been suffering from a severe cold and cough and on Monday she was taken violently sick, growing worse till her death. Perfectly conscious that she had to die, Mrs. Pyburn passed to the "other shore" without any signs of fear. During her illness she suffered untold agonies and all through the lonely hours of the night preceding her death, the anxious family stood around her suffering body, expecting her tired spirit to wing its celestial flight at any moment.
Miss Agnes Adams was born in ------------, in the month of January 1837 and was married to A. J. Pyburn on the 14th day of October 1857. At the age of 16 years, she joined the Christian church and has ever since been a faithful member. By this marriage five children were born, four of whom are still living. Her funeral occurred Thursday morning at 10 o'clock at the family residence, Rev. Fleming officiating in the obsequies. Her remains were interred in the Riverview cemetery. The Republican extends its sympathies to the bereaved family, and we feel positive that we are but voicing the sentiments of one and all when we say she is in Heaven.

Died—Last evening at 9:30 o'clock, Hon. Andrew J. Pyburn at his home in this city, of cirrhosis. The deceased is well known in this vicinity and state, having been an attorney of prominence. He has resided in Cowley county for eighteen years, most of the time at this city. He was 53 years of age at the time of his death and leaves a wife to mourn his demise, also five children by a former wife, who died in this city several years since. Judge Pyburn, as he was called by his friends, although an attorney, was not a man who sought to precipitate men into legal fights. He rather counseled them to settle the matter out of court and peaceably. For this and many other good qualities the judge was greatly admired. At a late hour the funeral services had not been arranged but the funeral will probably occur Sunday.

Judge Pyburn's Funeral.
The funeral of Judge Pyburn, which was solemnized yesterday under the impressive ritual of the Catholic church at Arkansas City, was very largely attended, both by citizens of his place of residence and people from this city. The Bar of the county was well represented on the occasion. Most of the prominent lawyers of both cities were present to pay the last tribute of respect to a departed and beloved member of the profession.
Four attorneys of Winfield and four of Arkansas City officiated as pall bearers. Their names are James McDermott, Col. C. J. Peckham, W. T. Madden, and J. F. McMullen, of Winfield, Amos Walton, C. J. Jeffries, J. H. Eckart and D. L. Weir of Arkansas City.
Judge Pyburn's death will be deeply deplored by all classes of citizens as a real loss to the county.

We regret to learn of the death of Hon. Andrew J. Pyburn at his home at Arkansas City on Friday evening of cirrhosis. Judge Pyburn was a member of the state senate of 1877-79 and was unanimously respected and admired by the members of that body for his unvarying gentlemanly deportment and legislative ability. In the community where he had lived for eighteen years, he bore the highest reputation as a citizen and a lawyer. He practiced the law as a means of settling disputes and preserving good feeling and his kindly offices as a pracificator were often invoked and never in vain. One of the best citizens of the state has passed over. – Lawrence Record.

Tuesday afternoon a large number of friends of the deceased gathered at the residence of S. H. Smith to pay their last token of affection to one they had known so long. Brief services were conducted in a very appropriate manner by Rev. E. D. Bostwick, the pall bearers being G. A. R. comrades of the deceased husband.

Enterprise (Sheridan, Wyoming), Saturday, May 4, 1901
Obituary – Valentine Reece was born in Indiana in 1834 and died in this city at 11:30 a. m. Monday, April 29, 1901.
Mr. Reece moved to Iowa in the early 50's where the outbreak of the civil war in '61 found him. Not being able to enlist in an Iowa regiment—so eagerly did he fly to his country's call—he became a member of Co. F, 15th U. S. Regular infantry. During those trying days he participated in the battles of Shiloh, siege of Corinth, Stone's River, Chickamauga and other engagements, coming out of the army in 1864, having served with honor to himself and credit to his country. In 1881 Mr. Reece came to Wyoming, landing in this county, where he has since resided. In 1866 he was married to Miss Eliza J. Wren of which six children survive: Mrs. Henry Schuler, Mrs. Wilson Peak, Mrs. S. H. Smith and Arthur Reece of this city, Mrs. Ella Jones and Chas. Reece of Los Angeles, Cal. Tuesday afternoon he was on the street, greeting his many friends as usual. At 5 o'clock the following evening, while amusing himself with his little granddaughter, he was stricken with paralysis, from the effects of which he never recovered, quietly, peacefully, answering the final summons, which came Monday last.
The funeral services were held from the residence of S. H. Smith Wednesday afternoon in accordance with the G. A. R. ritual, W. F. Roseman acting as master of ceremonies. A large concourse of friends of the deceased followed the remains to Mount Hope cemetery, where the body was laid to rest with military honor.
To the family and friends, The Enterprise extends heartfelt sympathy.

On Death of Mrs. Jane Reynolds
Died at Milo on June 27, Mrs. Lucy Jane Reynolds, wife of A. [mos] H.[enry] Reynolds.
Deceased's maiden name was Cole, was born in Galesburg, Knox county, Ill., on November 17, 1846, was married in her native county in February 1868. There was born to the union two boys and three girls. Two are the only survivors, Mrs. Milo Ough of Porterville and H. [enry] C. [alvin] Reynolds of Milo. The family moved to the Upper North Tule from Nebraska in the spring of 1906, in the hopes of the California climate benefiting Mrs. Reynolds health, being a sufferer for years with bronchitis. The change was a great benefit, but the ravages of her affliction had gained such a hold on her it couldn't be overcome, either by medical skill or loving and tender care.

Three Men Were Shot
James Walsh Shot After Killing Two Wyoming Residents.
The vicinity of Sheridan was Saturday the scene of two of, seemingly, the most unprovoked and cold blooded murders on record. They were followed Sunday morning by a swift justice to the perpetrator in the shape of a rifle bullet.
Th murderer, whose life paid the penalty of his crime, was James Walsh, 60 years of age and his victims were H. N. Robinson, a prominent rancher on Goose creek and Herbert Lynnville, a young cowboy employed on the Work ranch.
Walsh has been living as a squatter on Robinson's ranch and it is alleged that the cause of the shotting was an attempt by Robinson to persuade him to move. Yesterday Walsh went to Robinson's ranch and shot him dead. He then rode to the Work ranch and meeting young Lynnville shot him down in cold blood and then rode for the mountains, twenty miles to the west. . . .
He was overhauled and when he saw that capture was inevitable, Walsh wheeled around, determined to make a stand and beat them off if possible. Knowing that they had a desperate man to deal with, they shot him down, killing him instantly.
Walsh was 60 years of age. He had no known cause for killing the two men.
