his condition was serious they thought it best to try the gallstone operation.
This for a time seemed to be successful, then uremic poising set in which

accompanied by his faithful wife, who at his request never left him until the

Prominent Resident of Exline Vicinity
Passed Away at His Home Early
Sunday Morning
A death which comes as a distinct shock to the residents of
Exline vicinity and to many friends and acquaintances
in other parts of the county, occurred at 2:00 a.m.
Sunday when Sanford P. Maring passed away at his home
in Exline, after an illness of five weeks. He was 63
years old.
While suffering ill health for a long period of time, his
condition did not become serious until five weeks ago, after his return from
Excelsior Springs, where he had spent some time in an effort to regain his health.
It developed that he was suffering from a tumor of the brain, and he gradually
weakened until death came.
The death of Mr. Maring comes as
a shock to his home community due to the fact he had been identified with the
growth and development of Exline for many years.
Since the organization of the Bradley Savings Bank at Exline
in 1905, he has been its cashier until last year, when ill health forced him to
resign his duties. Much of his time has been spent in promoting the industrial
and financial interest of his home community.
Mr. Maring is a native of the Exline vicinity where he was born October 23, 1858, a son
of Samuel Maring. In early life he followed the
occupation of a farmer and has been interested to an extent since in
agriculture, possessing some farm property.
Deceased was twice married, becoming the husband of Miss
Ella Hollenbeck on October 10, 1880. She preceded him in death, passing away
January 26, 1907. On September 14, 1907, he was married to Miss Kate Kincaid.
He is survived by his second wife and two children, Mrs. T.
C. Cline of Exline and John L. Maring
of Exline. He is also survived by one brother, Silas Maring, who resides in
Mr. Maring was an active member
of the Christian Church and of the I.O.O.F. Lodge. He was well and favorably
known, and his death will cause mourning in a wide circle of friends and
acquaintances.

Young Gauding’s death which occurred

Late Saturday night, after the close of the Lincoln

the Grummer’s Confectionary for a light lunch. Earl Stonerod, a friend of the young men, said in a jovial
manner as they entered the confectionary: “Hit the air.” A joking retort and
one of the young men faced the gun. The careless joker was advised to put the
revolver away and Gauding remarked: “Give us a
chance; we’ve only come in”—all in fun. Stonerod
shifted the gun, jerking it toward Gauding and as he
did so the fatal shot was fired. Physicians were called and Gauding
was taken to a hospital, where a thorough examination proved that Gauding was mortally wounded, that the stomach and
intestines had been perforated and that several arteries had been cut. The best
of treatment was given, but all in vain. His parents, as well as other
relatives and friends were severely shocked when the end came.
