Obituary- James, Asa 2

The affair is one of the most distressing that ever happened in this vicinity. There was never any enmity existing between the James and Kovar families so far as known and both families are heart broken over the tragedy.

The funeral of Asa James was held Tuesday afternoon from the U.B. Church north of town. Rev. Wykert delivered a touching sermon that aroused the tenderest sympathy for the bereaved family. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity, and the yard was well filled with sorrowing friends and neighbors. The interment took place in the U.B. cemetery.

Sheriff Norton took the Kovar and Selik boys to Topeka Monday evening and they were arraigned in the Juvenile court the next morning. After hearing their testimony and that of the officials, they were admitted to bail in the sume of $500 each, which was furnished by the father of young Kovar, who had accompanied the young boys to Topeka. They came home Tuesday noon to await the inquest this (Friday) afternoon.
